Neptune and Amy Winehouse's Dysfunctional Relationship

Although I'd like to believe that Amy Winehouse has turned a corner since her recent (brief) rehab stint, I can't help but raise my extremely prominent eyebrows at her troubling behavior of late, like sporting scratches all over her arms and allegedly trashing a hotel suite. Despite the help she has received (if you can call being shoved into treatment by the record label that was obviously desperate for her to go to the Grammys and get publicity "help"), Amy seems to be lost without her incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil, and teetering on the brink of losing it completely. Just why is this tremendous talent letting a total zero drag her down?

Back in August I wrote about Amy's long-term transit of Uranus in Pisces opposing her Sun in Virgo, making for a volatile and confused atmosphere that will continue for at least a couple more years from now. {Read the full story} Not only is that transit still creating upheaval, but transiting Neptune -- the planet of addiction, delusion, and confusion -- is forming an opposition with Amy's Venus (relationships) and Mars (drive). See Amy Winehouse's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Amy's natal Venus -- it should come as no surprise to anyone witnessing her unhealthy codependent relationship -- is retrograde, and conjunct her Mars in Leo, meaning she needs a lot of attention in relationships and thrives on drama.

Right now, the Neptune opposition is exacerbating the drama-filled tendency of this natal position, taking it in a self-destructive direction, and casting a cloud of intoxication over the situation to obscure reality further. Amy is clearly wrapped up in the sturm und drang of her relationship (Venus) with her ne'er-do-well hubby, and she is obviously floundering, with her motivation (Mars) sapped (canceling concerts, etc.) by the stress.

I can't find Blake's birth data online (not even his sign) but would LOVE if anyone were able to procure it and pass it on to me. It would definitely be interesting to see the dynamic creating the dysfunction junction between these two, and find out what kind of K-Fed-esque hold Blake magically maintains on Amy even as the rest of the world is like, "DUMP THE LOSER!!!"

But regardless of the aspects between their horoscopes, it seems like Neptune is fostering an unrealistic, misguided sense of tragic love that appeals to the over-the-top romanticism of Amy's Venus-Mars in Leo, deluded as it is by Neptune's influence. When the rest of us ask "What does she see in him?" the answer is that Neptune is clouding her perception. Well, that, and beer goggles.

Angelina Is Pregnant Again!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt apparently weren't kidding when they said they wanted to have nine, or thirteen, or however many kids it was the last time they went on about how much they love parenting in an interview. Both biologically and otherwise, the world's most beautiful couple are multiplying like rabbits.

Shortly after formally adopting son Pax, La Jolie debuted her baby bump last night (the very same night she was scheduled to be in the same room with Jennifer Aniston for the first time in three years -- burn!!!). So I thought I'd take a peep at her horoscope, which we haven't done in quite some time.

This period of time definitely feels like it is a turning point for Angelina. Transiting Jupiter is opposing Saturn and squaring her natal Moon-Mars-Jupiter conjunction, all in cardinal signs. See Angelina Jolie's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Jupiter brings expansion and growth, figuratively and sometimes literally. Right now it is activating the natal Moon-Jupiter aspect that gives Angie her almost boundless maternal urges. Don't be surprised to see her throw herself into nesting mode.

With Saturn in the picture, there is also an increase in responsibilities and challenges. Particularly if the rumor she is expecting twins turns out to be true, even Hollywood's finest Supermom will certainly have her hands full wth such a rapidly expanding brood.

Interestingly, transiting Mercury in mass-media-oriented Aquarius is almost exactly sextile Angie's natal Mars, while transiting Mars in Gemini has just passed over her natal Mercury. These two aspects make me wonder if there was in fact a passive-aggressive tinge of hostility toward Jen in the timing of the visual "announcement." Certainly it took all the attention away from her and their anticipated confrontation, and one would imagine Jennifer wasn't exactly relieved.

All suggestion of cattiness aside, congratulations to the Jolie-Pitts -- and best wishes for a baby that is happy, healthy, and half as cute as Shiloh!
