J.Lo Gives Birth! The Twins' Astrological Charts

Congratulations and felicidades to Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony on the birth of their twins early this morning! (And thanks again to readers who tipped me off to the birth data!) Obviously, I had to take a look at their horosopes ASAP! And let me tell you, J.Lo and Marc's influence looms over these charts in a big way.

To my knowledge, the newborns' names have not been released, but as foreshadowed by the pink-and-blue shower theme, there is a girl and a boy. I'll update the charts and make them all pretty as soon as the names are released, but I wanted to get the charts up right away. Here you go...

See Baby Girl Lopez Anthony's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy)

See Baby Boy Lopez Anthony's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy)

First, let me just say that both twins have the Moon (representing the mother) in controlling Virgo, in the influential 10th house. J.Lo is going to rule these kids' lives with an iron fist -- not that that should come as any great shock to anyone.

Also, Saturn, representing the father, is in Virgo (Marc Anthony's Sun sign), closely conjunct the Midheaven (career goals). Marc will also have a strong formative influence in the twins' careers -- dragging them out on tour as a Donny-and-Marie-style sibling act, perhaps?

The fact that the Moon and Saturn are in the same sign show that the twins' parents will present very much a united front in the way they raise and discipline them. But Virgo suggests that while the kids will be well cared for, this will be an old-school sit-up-straight, mind-your-manners upbringing. We won't be seeing the Lopez-Anthony kids dancing on tables and getting DUIs in 18 years ... or on second thought, maybe they will with a vengeance.

I'll follow up soon when the twins are named. For now, I have a cake to transport to an undisclosed location.

P.S. The obligatory note on data sourcing: According to People.com, the girl was born at 12:12 AM EST, followed by her brother at 12:23 AM. {Source} Although the location was not officially disclosed by reps, according to multiple reports, J.Lo gave birth at the North Shore University Hospital, which is located in the town of Manhasset on Long Island, New York. (What did people do before the Interwebs?)

Bassist Byron Stroud of Fear Factory is 39. Whoever he is.

Actress Jeri Ryan, a.k.a. Seven of Nine, hits 40 today but remains an eternal object of adolescent-geek fantasy. See Jeri Ryan's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Comedienne Rachel Dratch is 42. I cannot WAIT for 30 Rock to come back!!!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Drew Barrymore!

Happy 33rd birthday to Pisces dreamer Drew Barrymore!

Last year on her birthday, I predicted that a new love would come into her life sometime around mid-October '07. I was a little off, since she took up with her Mac man in September. But they certainly seem to be sickeningly happy together, and although Drew has a notorious rep as a serial sickeningly-happy monogamist, I wish those two crazy kids the best.

(BTW, Justin Long is a Gemini, perhaps not the most stable partner for fellow mutable sign Drew, but hey, they're having fun. See Justin Long's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time))

For more on Drew: Read KittyTaurus' astrological personality profile of Drew Barrymore

I'd spend more time forecasting Drew's year, but I think we all know I have two very important celebrity baby charts to get to! If anyone is interested in reading a full compatibility report on Drew and Justin, please let me know. For now, many happy returns, Miss B... and now, onward and forward!

Juno (the Asteroid) and Ellen Page's Oscar Odds

The Oscars are of course fast approaching, and while a full predictive report on all the categories would be way too time-consuming (believe me, I tried it), I thought it would be fun to take a look at nominated ingenue Ellen Page's horoscope, because (a) today is her birthday; (b) her titular character in Juno is named after an astrologically significant asteroid; and (c) she is freakin' adorable.

Interestingly, the asteroid Juno is all about intimate relationships and figuring out what one needs from them -- which is very much the theme of the film of the same name, in which characters navigate what they need, want, and don't from their significant others.

In Ellen's natal horoscope, Juno, perhaps unsurprisingly, forms a couple of aspects: It is semisextile her Sun (ego, personality) and square her Mars (drive), both within a degree. See Ellen Page's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Currently, transiting Venus in Aquarius (which rules one's public perception, and the mass media) has just passed over Ellen's natal Juno, while transiting Juno in free-spirit Sagittarius has just passed over her natal Saturn. Could this perhaps augur reward and recognition for her role?

Certainly having her birthday so close to the Oscars ceremony can't hurt her chances, since she is being energized by her Solar Return. Moreover, fortunate Jupiter is approaching a conjunction with her natal Venus, a favorable aspect indeed. Transiting Saturn opposite her natal Sun could limit her potential for achievement now, but it is just possible that she could score a surprise win. If nothing else, Ellen has gotten a lot of attention that should bring her plenty of career opportunities (Jupiter in Capricorn transiting her Venus). She's already landed a role starring in a film directed by fellow Pisces Drew Barrymore, whose birthday is tomorrow. (Not only are their Pisces Suns conjunct, but Drew's Jupiter in Pisces conjuncts Ellen's Venus-Jupiter conjunction, describing the fortunate opportunity that Drew is bestowing on the younger actress.)

So, Ellen's future looks pretty bright, even if she doesn't snag the Oscar. And of course, on Sunday night, she is bound to look freakin' adorable.

Celeb Birthdays: February 20

Happy birthday to these celebrity Pisces.

Ella, ella, eh, eh, eh! Rihanna is 20. I will now have that song in my head the rest of the day. See Rihanna's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Singer Yulia Volkova of t.A.T.u. is 23. Will someone please explain to me why they still pose in suggestive girl-girl poses even though one of them is married and had a baby? On the other hand, never mind. See Yulia Volkova's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Six Feet Under co-stars Lauren Ambrose, 30, and Lili Taylor, 41, share a birthday. Where has my Lauren been lately? Love her -- she needs to get more work! See Lauren Ambrose's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time) ~ See Lili Taylor's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actor Jay Hernandez of Hostel, which I finally saw on cable and was rather disappointed by (though not so much so as Turistas, hits 30 today. See Jay Hernandez's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Knicks star Stephon Marbury, who has the dubious distinction of being the least sucky player on the suckiest team ever, is 31. Seriously, why don't they fire Isaiah already? Even I think they should, and I don't really care. (Don't get me started on the Rangers, though. That game last night was far more horrifying than Hostel.) See Stephon Marbury's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Drummer Ed Graham of the Darkness is 32.

What up, B-Rock?! The cutest Backstreet Boy (step off, thick-necked Nick), Brian Littrell, is 32. See Brian Littrell's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Patty Hearst is 54. Serial Mom was seriously such an underrated film. I think of Patty every time I see someone wearing white shoes after Labor Day, and hope that they meet her fate. Okay, maybe that's taking it a little far. See Patty Hearst's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Musician Walter Becker of Steely Dan is 58.

Socialite Ivana Trump is 59. Go, Team Cougars! See Ivana Trump's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Kurt Cobain: An Astrological Tribute

Legendary live-fast-die-young Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain would have been 41 tomorrow, February 20, had things turned out ... differently. (Lord, why couldn't you have taken Scott Stapp instead?! We all know he longs to be closer to Thee!!) Er, anyhoo, here's an analysis of Kurt's chart and the factors leading up to his untimely death. Not unlike Heath Ledger, he passed away while under the influence of his first Saturn return (as well as, ahem, a bunch of other stuff).

The Kevin Dillon to Hilary's Matt, Haylie Duff , is 23. (Seriously? Not, like, 43?)
