Celeb Birthdays: April 11

2008-04-11T17:30:00.001-04:00

Jesuchristo, this is a boring batch of D-list birthdays. Seriously, when Joss Stone is your biggest name, you've got a real fame drought on your hands. Well, not that it's your responsibility, it's the universe's.

Actress Dakota Blue Richards of The Golden Compass is 14. Seriously, I don't think anyone saw that movie. Like, not even Keith Urban.

Singer Joss Stone is 21. See Joss Stone's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Model Alessandra Ambrosio is 27.

Actress Tricia Helfer of Battlestar Galactica is 34.

Red Sox captain Jason Varitek is 36. I'm already sick of hearing about baseball this year.

Actor Brett Claywell (One Tree Hill) is 40.

Actress Jennifer Esposito (Spin City) is 35. See Jennifer Esposito's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Singer Lisa Stansfield is 42. Didn't she have some sort of sad reality-show "comeback" attempt lately? Or am I thinking of Taylor Dayne? See Lisa Stansfield's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actor-director Vincent Gallo is 46. See Vincent Gallo's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actor Meshach Taylor, a.k.a. the gay black sidekick of Designing Women and Mannequin, is 61. I know, I know, why does it have to be about him being gay and black?

Actress Louise Lasser of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman is 69. I never really got that show. I think irony was different back then.

Actor and memorable Buffy guest star Joel Grey is 76. I still haven't gotten over the fact that he didn't kill Dawn when he had the chance! See Joel Grey's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actor Charlie Hunnam (Undeclared) is 28. I never watched that show, and I need to Netflix it as soon as discs 5 and 6 of Freaks and Geeks are finished, which will sadly be all too soon. See Charlie Hunnam's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

It is so appropriate that hockey player Sean Avery is an Aries, seeing as how he has all the classic attributes like being impulsive, impetuous, aggressive, hotheaded, always butting heads with people, and so on. Not that I'm complaining! I love Avery, though not quite as much as he loves himself. Anyway, he will surely have a happy 28th today after scoring that AWESOME goal last night! What an insane game! GO RANGERS!!!

Singer Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional is 33.

Rapper Q-Tip is 38. We haven't heard much from him lately either, have we?

R&B singer Kenny Lattimore is 38.

Guitarist Mike Mushok of the utterly useless Staind is 38.

Actor-comedian Orlando Jones is 40. I like him because he was in Office Space, and also that movie with David Duchovny about the aliens. No, not the X-Files movie, duh. See Orlando Jones's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Guitarist Warren DeMartini of Ratt is 45.

Singer Katrina Leskanich of Katrina and the Waves is 48. I apologize for the fact that you now have "Walking on Sunshine" stuck in your head.

Musician Brian Setzer is 49. I apologize for the fact that you now have either "Stray Cat Strut" or "Jump, Jive and Wail" stuck in your head. What was up with that whole swing-dancing thing, anyway? See Brian Setzer's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Musician-producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds hits 50 today, so we might well suspect that his baby face is presently preserved by Botox.

Actor Peter MacNicol (Ally McBeal) is 54. See Peter MacNicol's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

"Action" "star" and total douche Steven Seagal is 57. See Steven Seagal's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Gwyneth on Her Kids' Zodiac Signs

2008-04-09T17:13:00.002-04:00

Gwyneth Paltrow is one celeb I would not have expected to believe in astrology. She just seems so Mr.-Spock chilly that you'd think she's one of those "rational" thinkers. (She was in a movie about math, fer Chrissakes.) But here's a cute quote from her revealing she understands that her daughter is ruled by Venus and her son by Mars:

"Apple [pictured at right with her Libra mama] is an open person. She's Taurus; grounded, calm, funny. Moses is Aries, he's the most sweet, sensitive thing but then he'll kick and karate-chop and spit and tumble. He's a real boy." --Gwyneth Paltrow to U.K. Glamour [Source]

If you recall, CelebAstroBlogy posted her son Moses' horoscope shortly after his birth two years ago. Wonder if Gwynnie checked out the chart? Here it is (along with Apple's), in case you'd like to do so....

See Moses Martin's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy)

See Apple Martin's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Not the most earth-shattering astrological analysis ever committed to the Interwebs, I know--but hey, I promised a break from birthday posts and I delivered toot sweet, gosh darn it!

Celeb Birthdays: April 9

2008-04-09T15:21:00.004-04:00

I'm sure everybody is bored of all the birthday posts, and I'm planning to do a chart analysis (or seven) real soon. No, really. I mean it.

Actress Kristen Stewart (Into the Wild) is 18.

Aaagh, the dreaded teen-heartthrob hyphenate! Actor-singer Jesse McCartney (Summerland) is 21. See Jesse McCartney's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Leighton Meester of Gossip Girl, who went from unknown to ubiquitous seemingly overnight, is 22.

Musician Albert Hammond Jr. of the Strokes is 28. See Albert Hammond Jr.'s birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Feh, "reality" "stars"! Former America's Next Top Model winner Yoanna House is also 28. See Yoanna House's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Care to feel old? Well, then, actress Keshia Knight-Pulliam, a.k.a. Rudy on The Cosby Show, is 29. See Keshia Knight-Pulliam's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Musician Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance is 31.

She of the surgically disfigured hoo-hoo, Jenna Jameson, is 34. See Jenna Jameson's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Cynthia Nixon of the eagerly-anticipated-by-people-other-than-me Sex and the City movie is 42. I recently saw her striding purposefully off the 3 train in Times Square at evening rush hour, with her dumpy girlfriend trailing behind like a lost child. I'm sorry, but her girlfriend is dumpy. What do you want me to do about it? See Cynthia Nixon's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Former supermodel and now reality star (feh!) Paulina Porizkova of Dancing With the Stars is 43. See Paulina Porizkova's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Fashion designer Marc Jacobs is 45.

Still-hunky actor Dennis Quaid is 54. I am very happy for him that his babies stopped bleeding. See Dennis Quaid's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Someone named Hal Ketchum, who is alleged to be some sort of country artist, is 55.

Actress Michael Learned (The Waltons) is 69.

French actor Jean-Paul Belmondo (Breathless) is 75. I remember when we had to watch that movie in French class in high school. I blame it for making smoking seem cool. See Jean-Paul Belmondo's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Octogenarian polygamist Hugh Hefner is 82. Much as it shames me, I inevitably get sucked into The Girls Next Door every time it happens to come on. You know, I feel sorry for Holly, because she seems to actually really love him, and there is always a kind of sadness in her eyes, whereas the other two are all whoo-hoo-along-for-the-ride. See Hugh Hefner's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actress Emma Caulfield, whom, as I have mentioned ad nauseum, has the rare distinction (although, are distinctions by definition rare?) of having appeared on both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 90210, is 35 today. Isn't it time for her to come back to TV?!?! See Emma Caulfield's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Bassist Paul Gray of the lamest band ever, Slipknot, is 36. Oh wait, I forgot about Insane Clown Posse. See Paul Gray's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Patricia Arquette (Medium) is 40. I have a fondness for her from True Romance, but there always seems to be something just a little off about her. Like, maybe the fact that she can't seem to figure out how to wear clothes that fit her? I don't know. See Patricia Arquette's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Recently separated actress Robin Wright Penn is 42. Is she still going by the Penn? And why haven't Sean and Madonna gotten back together yet? These are things I need to know. See Robin Wright Penn's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Rapper Biz Markie is 44.

What Jakob Dylan was to the '90s, musician Julian Lennon was to the '80s; he is 45 today. See Julian Lennon's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Guitarist Izzy Stradlin of Guns n' Roses is 46.

Actor John Schneider, a.k.a. Bo Duke, is 48. See John Schneider's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

NBA great John Havlicek is 68. See John Havlicek's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Comedian Shecky Greene, who is evidently still alive, is 82. You know, you just don't see many parents naming their kids Shecky these days. Go figure.

Celeb Birthdays: April 6-7

2008-04-07T16:06:00.003-04:00

Before we catch up on yesterday's and today's celebrity birthdays, I must apologize for a vast and grave oversight: the inexcusable omission of Henrik Lundqvist's birthday, which was March 2. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish my beloved Henrik and his cohorts best of luck in the playoffs as they fight the forces of evil, which are, unsurprisingly, based out of New Jersey. Go Rangers! Jaia Ganesha!

• April 6

Actress Diora Baird of The Wedding Crashers is 26.

Season 2 Top Chef winner Ilan Hall is 27. Did he deserve to beat Foam Boy? Discuss, if in fact you still care.

Tim Hasselbeck, who I hear is some sort of athlete and married to that pixie-looking harpy on that annoying show, hits 30 today.

Actress Candace Cameron, a.k.a. DJ Tanner, is 32.

Rumored cad Zach Braff of Scrubs is 33. See Zach Braff's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actor Jason Hervey, a.k.a. Wayne on The Wonder Years, is 37.

The most adorable and charming man in the world, Paul Rudd, hits 40 today. See Paul Rudd's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Ari Meyers, one of the daughters on Kate & Allie, whose character I used to think was extremely fashionable back in the day, also hits 40 today.

Frank Black, a.k.a. Black Francis, of the Pixies, is 43. I adore the sound of his and Kim Deal's voices together.

Sitcom relics Marilu Henner of Taxi, 56, and John Ratzenberger of Cheers, 62, share a birthday today. See Marilu Henner's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time) ~ See John Ratzenberger's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Director Barry Levinson is 66. See Barry Levinson's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Billy Dee Williams, a.k.a. Lando Calrissian, a.ka. the "Colt 45--Works every time" guy, is (!!!) 71. Surely there must be some mistake! See Billy Dee Williams' birth chart (Astrotheme)

Country artist Merle Haggard is also 71, which is much less shocking because when your name is Haggard you basically sound like an old coot no matter what age you are. See Merle Haggard's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Guru Ram Dass turns 75. Note the extremely tight conjunction of Pluto and his Cancer Ascendant; no wonder he's so interested in spiritual transformation and rebirth. His Sun closely conjuncts the fixed star Nodus II, which augurs "an artistic and emotional but somber nature, a penetrating and analytical mind, much travel and many friends, but danger of robbery and accidental poisoning. It gives craft, ingenuity, and valor." [Source] See Ram Dass' birth chart (Astrotheme)

• April 7

Actor Kevin Alejandro (Ugly Betty) is 32.

Football player, TV personality, and guest star of last season's lamest Project Runway episode Tiki Barber is 33.

Musician John Oates of, wait for it, Hall & Oates is 59. See John Oates' birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Director and vintner Francis Ford Coppola is 69. "Vintner" sounds like one of those words that should be followed by "I just met her." See 's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actor Wayne Rogers of my all-time most hated TV show, M*A*S*H, is 75.

Actor James Garner hits 80 today. See James Garner's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Jeeze Louise, today's celebrity birthday roll call reads like a cast of After-school Special characters. Check out the many cautionary examples of why drugs and premarital sex are bad, mmmkay?

Pregutante Jamie Lynn Spears, whom I ironically called "the most mature and sophisticated member of her family by a country mile" two years ago, is 17. I'm thinking of doing a post on how she'll handle motherhood. Interest? Anyone? Anyone? See Jamie Lynn Spears' birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Singer Johnny Borrell of Razorlight, a.k.a. the British dude who dumped Kirsten Dunst before she went into rehab, is 28.

Sadly, the late Heath Ledger, whom I ironically called "all-around sickeningly-perfect-life-having" two years ago, did not go into rehab. He would have been 29 today ... namaste, dude. Read CelebAstroBlogy posts about Heath Ledger

Speaking of rehab, actress Natasha Lyonne is 29, although she looks about 40. No, actually, she looks a bit better lately; I hope she makes a comeback, because she really is talented. See Natasha Lyonne's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

X-Games medalist Dave Mirra is 34. I got nothin'.

Complete tool David Blaine is 35. See David Blaine's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Singer-actress Jill Scott is 36.

1997 called to remind me that bassist Magnus Sveningsson of the Cardigans is 36.

Actor Barry Pepper, who is an actor from Saving Private Ryan rather than a Willy Wonka character as you might guess from his name, is 38. See Barry Pepper's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Beastie Boys DJ Mix Master Mike is 38.

Actress Nancy McKeon, a.k.a. butchy Jo on The Facts of Life, whom I ironically called "The Facts of Life's butchie Jo" two years ago, is 42. See Nancy McKeon's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Speaking once more of rehab, triumphantly comebacked (cameback? Comedback?) former train wreck Robert Downey, Jr., is 43. See Robert Downey, Jr.'s birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

The beyond fabulous Tobias Fünke, a.k.a. David Cross, is 44. Wait a minute, IMDB lists a 2009 Arrested Development movie as having been "announced." Is this just wishful thinking? Don't toy with me like this, Interwebs! See David Cross's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actor Robbie Rist, a.k.a. the reviled Cousin Oliver on The Brady Bunch, is 44, which should make everyone feel extremely old. Ironically, being an old-school child star, he has never been in rehab (as far as I know, not that I've really followed his "career" "trajectory").

Comedian Graham Norton is 45.

TV producer David E. Kelley is 52, and gets to sleep with Michelle Pfeiffer. See David E. Kelley's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Mary-Margaret Humes, a.k.a. the mom on Dawson's Creek, is 54.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, I would like to begin this birthdays post by volunteering the fact that if I had participated in last night's Top Chef challenge creating a dish inspired by a movie, I would have chosen Spice World. In fact, it's kind of a no-brainer, IMHO. Thank you for your time.

Two celebrity daughters who may or may not grow up to become dysfunctional freaks share a birthday today: Ella Bleu Travolta is 8, and Paris Michael Jackson is 10. See Ella Bleu Travolta's birth chart (Astrotheme) ~ See Paris Michael Jackson's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Singer Leona Lewis is 23. If I understand correctly, she won some British reality show contest and is now an actual musical artist on our shores? WTF?! See Leona Lewis' birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Actress Cobie Smulders of How I Met Your Mother (which I recently watched for the first time, for some reason) is 26. Wait, so Joss Whedon was just kidding about wanting her to play Wonder Woman?

The very appropriately named actor-comedian Aries Spears of MAD TV is 33. Note that Aries represents the warrior archetype, so his last name is very appropriate too. (No relation to Britney, BTW.)

The eternally lovely Jennie Garth, a.k.a. Kelly Taylor, is 36. I can't decide if my favorite image of her is collapsing on the Peach Pit bathroom floor from diet pills, making out with Dylan to the tune of "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover," making out with Dylan in the pool, or maybe just those flowered spandex bike shorts and oversize blazers she wore in Season 1 (not together). There are just so many wonderful memories! Okay, I'll stop now. See Jennie Garth's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Olympic skier Picabo Street is 37.

Singer Sebastian Bach of Skid Row is 40, which makes me feel old and depressed.

Artist and musician-by-association Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz is 41. Appropriately enough, his Chinese sign, per Astrotheme, is Earth Monkey. (He also created a show called Monkey: Journey to the West.) See Jamie Hewlett's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Social Distortion frontman Mike Ness is 46.

Total douchebag Eddie Murphy is 47. You don't mess with Mel B, buddy! See Eddie Murphy's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Gentle readers, I apologize for the sporadic posts of late. I am in the process of moving, and as we all know, that throws one's life into utter chaos, especially when Mercury, Venus, and Uranus are conjunct in late Pisces. Please bear with me during this transition, and please send me positive energy to deal with the process of two Tauruses with fire-sign Moons trying to agree on a design scheme. (Already my sparkly-pink-walls-and-chandeliers idea has been shot down! Can you imagine?!)

Actress Bethany Joy Galeotti, or Lenz, I don't know for sure and frankly could not care less, of One Tree Hill, is 27. See Bethany Joy Galeotti's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Keyboardist Jesse Carmichael of Maroon 5 is 29. Have they run their course? Let's hope so.See Jesse Carmichael's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Prince Paul is a scrub. He is also 41.

Actor Christopher Meloni, a.k.a. Elliot Stabler on Law & Order: SVU, is 47. He is apparently somehow involved with Joss Whedon's new Interweb musical, so between that and his close association with Mariska Hargitay, I cannot help but feel love for him. See Christopher Meloni's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Singer Keren Woodward of Bananarama is 47. Is she the one who looks like a skanky man ... a hot tranny mess, if you will?

Ooh! Ooh! Actor Ron Palillo, a,.k.a. Arnold Horshack, is 54.

Cars drummer David Robinson is 55.

Country artist Emmylou Harris is 61. See Emmylou Harris' birth chart (Astrotheme)

Arguably "feminist" author Camille Paglia is 61. See 's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Actress Linda Hunt (The Year of Living Dangerously), who could arguably be called a hot tranny mess, is 63. See Linda Hunt's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Yes, it's a Buffy birthday! I still can't wrap my mind around Nathan Fillion being a hero in Firefly because of how eeevil he was on Buffy, but Joss seems to like him, so he must be a'ight. (And I'm very excited about this Internet musical with Doogie Howser, whatever is up with that.) Oh yeah, he's 37 today. See Nathan Fillion's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Aries-stellium-having singer Mariah Carey, my personal role model for the correct way to live, think, and home-furnish, is 38. Someday I will have a pet that has its own fan site, and an assistant who walks behind me holding an umbrella over my head while I walk said pet, and I will know that I have truly arrived. See Mariah Carey's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Blues Traveler drummer Brendan Hill is also 38. But ain't nobody holding no umbrellas over his head, I tell you what.

Halle Berry's Baby Daughter's Birth Chart

2008-03-18T23:50:00.003-04:00

Gentle readers, I know I'm a bit behind on the birthday posts (let me tell you, trying to buy an apartment in NYC is about the biggest time and energy drain ever), but I figured it would be more exciting to post a birth chart for Halle Berry's new baby daughter.

First of all, I must offer many congrats to Halle and Gabriel Aubry! Not only are they two of the most beautiful people on earth (can't wait to see this baby -- she might actually take Shiloh's Cutest Child Ever title!), but it seems that Halle is genuinely happy and settled after suffering ridiculously bad relationship luck, and we all know she has dreamed of motherhood forever, so I have nothing but warm-and-fuzzies for her despite my natural inclination to resent someone so beautiful and successful.

Anyhoo, the Gorgeous Ones' bundle of joy was, according to published reports, born Sunday, March 16, at 10:17 am in Los Angeles. (Thanks much to readers who wrote in with a heads-up, especially the always fabulously input-offering Reader T!) It has now been confirmed that her name is Nahla Ariela Aubrey. {Source} (Apparently Nahla means "honeybee" in Arabic, which I kind of love.) Without further ado, here is her birth chart:

See Nahla Ariela Aubrey's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy)

Certainly an interesting, intense chart with those Venus-Saturn and Mars-Pluto oppositions.

No time/mental energy for a full analysis tonight, but more soon.... (Also, now that J.Lo's twins have been named, I'll be doing their full charts soon.)

Namaste and happy almost astrological New Year!

ETA: For anyone who saw the incorrect birth chart initially posted last night, apologies. I literally opened my eyes this morning with the realization I had forgotten to paste the correct chart into the template (isn't it weird when you suddenly remember you forgot something?) and fixed it.

Neptune and Amy Winehouse's Dysfunctional Relationship

2008-02-27T00:02:00.000-05:00

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!

2008-02-24T15:54:00.002-05:00

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!

J.Lo Gives Birth! The Twins' Astrological Charts

2008-02-22T16:08:00.002-05:00

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?)

Happy Birthday, Drew Barrymore!

2008-02-22T15:05:00.001-05:00

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

2008-02-21T16:46:00.004-05:00

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.

Heath's Legacy: Matilda Ledger's Horoscope

2008-01-25T22:12:00.000-05:00

What is to become of little Matilda Rose Ledger now that her father, Heath Ledger, is gone? The late Aussie actor's only child with Michelle Williams is just a little over two years old, but her dad's untimely death is bound to have an impact -- just look at the poignant pic at left to see how bonded Heath's little mini-me was with him. I took a look at Matilda's birth chart to see what it suggests about the person she will grow up to be.

Matilda Rose Ledger was born October 28, 2005, in her parents' then-home-base of Brooklyn, NY. Unfortunately, I could not find any coverage of her birth that gave a birth time, but as always, I'd love for anyone to share that information should they come across it.

See Matilda Rose Ledger's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy, no birth time)

It is clear that Matilda does have a strong connection with her dad, given the square from Saturn (representing the father) to the Sun (core identity, sense of self). Heath's influence definitely plays a role in shaping who she is. And with Saturn's opposition to Neptune, Matilda may grow up with an idealized fantasy image of her late father, based on sentimental memory as well as the next-James-Dean portrayal of him in the media.

It also seems that Matilda will grow up to experience some extremely intense dynamics in her intimate relationships, perhaps prompted by the abandonment issues associated with the early loss of her father. With an extremely tight Venus-Pluto conjunction in Sagittarius, she feels a strong need for power and control in relationships but a parallel urge for freedom. With this aspect, I could see her going through some pull-close-then-push-away cycles with a partner.

But with her Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio, it seems that Matilda will have a real inner reserve to draw upon. A core of belief in herself will be, or already has been, instilled in her. By all accounts, her father doted on her, and her mother appears to be a devoted hands-on parent as well.

Perhaps the Sun-Jupiter conjunction in Scorpio, squaring Saturn, suggests the kind of optimism and transformation that is born of hardship (Saturn) and loss (Scorpio). This tragedy will surely be one of the defining experiences of her life, and there may be a certain somberness and intensity to her personality. But I believe Matilda will be equipped with the resilience to stay positive and live her life to the fullest.

Heath Ledger: RIP; OMG, WTF?!

2008-01-23T00:27:00.000-05:00

The wave of happy birth news coming out of Hollywood has sadly given way to a wave of cut-down-in-their-prime death news. First we lost Brad Renfro, who tragically died too soon but -- and this is perhaps the most depressing part -- honestly surprised no one given his history. But now the news of Heath Ledger's demise comes as a total shock. What was going on with this talented young man at the time of his untimely demise?

Unfortunately, Heath's birth time is not a matter of record (if you have it, obviously, I would be most indebted for you to share), so interpretation is somewhat limited. But a few striking things jump out. See Heath Ledger's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

First, Heath was experiencing his first Saturn return at the time of his death -- a milestone around which so many talented artists have flamed out, from Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin to Kurt Cobain. The reality-check planet had already passed over his natal Saturn once and had just retrograded over it at the time of his death.

The Saturn return can be a time of reckoning, although typically it should mean recognition and transition into adulthood. Perhaps for famous-at-an-early-age Heath, despite his anti-Hollywood attitude, "growing up" (in the Lindsay Lohan sense) came too fast, and he was not able to handle the actual transition into adulthood and maturity. Both natal and transiting-at-time-of-death Saturn are retrograde in Virgo, and one wonders if he had trouble with authority, responsibility, and self-criticism.

Also at the time of Heath's death, retrograde transiting Mars in Gemini, and Venus and Pluto in Sagittarius, were forming a mutable T-square with his natal Mercury-Mars conjunction in Pisces (the sign associated with addiction and self-destruction). Again there is a feeling of transition, with the transformation brought by Pluto and the spontaneous change of Mars in Gemini (especially in retrograde). There is a lot of instability and volatility in this aspect formation.

Transiting Pluto in the last gasp of Sagittarius (along with Venus a degree away at 28 Sag) is/was also inconjunct Heath's natal Jupiter in the final degree of Cancer, again suggesting transition, expansion, and transformation. With the final degree of a sign, there is a sense of urgency, sometimes forcing the issue or trying too hard, and it is possible some sort of dissatisfaction was boiling over inside of Heath. This is not to suggest that his death was intentional, just that whatever demons were within him might have been particularly restless lately.

Also worth noting: Chiron is in a sextile aspect to his Sun and trine his Pluto. This could suggest dealing with self-transformation (Pluto-Sun) through self-wounding. The transiting Mercury-Neptune conjunction in Aquarius squares his natal Uranus, which could suggest an unexpected reaction to a miscalculation about substances.

We may never know everything that was going on with Heath at the time of his death, but it's certain that his life was cut short too soon. Namaste to Heath, and sincere condolences and well wishes to daughter Matilda, baby-mama Michelle Williams, and his other loved ones.

PS. I'll try to update this with a graphic and links and whatnot, but I just wanted to get it out ASAP.

2008-01-21T01:01:00.000-05:00

Thanks to Reader T for bringing Harlow Winter Kate Madden's birth time to my attention. (And thanks to all the readers who have returned to CelebAstroBlogy with me -- it means a lot!) Proud papa Joel Madden has posted on his blog that Harlow, his daughter with celebutante Nicole Richie, was born at 3:13 PM on January 11, 2008 (in Los Angeles). Source (among others) So here is his newborn Capricorn's birth chart:

See Harlow Winter Kate Madden's birth chart (CelebAstroBlogy)

This child has a very interesting chart, with mutable signs on all four angles and planets conjuncting all the angles. Retrograde Mars in Gemini is conjunct the Ascendant from the 12th house, which could have her vacillating between outgoing and extremely shy and/or constantly changing her look and vibe.

And Pluto in the final degree of Sagittarius is in the 7th house conjunct the Descendant, which forbodes a lot of intensity in her intimate relationships. We're talking serious power struggles here.

Retrograde Saturn (the father) is in the 3rd house a degree away from the IC. Given that the Moon (the mother) is in the 9th house in a relatively loose conjunction with the Midheaven, this suggests that Nicole is the one who wears the pants in the family, while Joel is more of the nurturer figure. (The 10th house represents the parent who is the authoritarian or disciplinarian while the 4th shows the caretaker.)

Uranus is in the 10th house also conjuncting the Midheaven, which suggests some volatility around this parent. The 9th-house Moon in Pisces could suggest Nicole is restlessly floating around a lot, constantly traveling and drifting. (Following her baby-daddy on tour, perhaps?)

Moreover, Saturn/4th house is associated with hardship in the home life, hinting that despite material wealth Harlow might endure some form of deprivation. (After all, her parents did give away all her baby shower gifts to underprivileged children. How could they cruelly put other kids' needs before their own child's? Gawd!)

Congratulations to Nicole and Joel -- it really does seem like they've committed to making major lifestyle changes to be good parents to this baby. I genuinely send them good luck and well wishes. I'm just saying, if HWKM grew up to be a teenage drama queen like her mama, it would be kinda fun to watch. I already eagerly anticipate her stormy relationship with Max Bratman!

Christina Aguilera's Son's Birth Chart

2008-01-14T23:01:00.000-05:00

Um ... hi, everybody!

Much catching up to do, I know ... but without further ado, here's a birth chart for Christina Aguilera's firtborn son, Max Liron Bratman. He was born at 10:05 PM Saturday in L.A.

See Max Liron Bratman's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy)

Full analysis will come soon ... but for now I will say this kid has a very volatile chart, with a Mars-Pluto opposition, a Moon-Uranus conjunction, and the Ascendant/Descendant and IC/MC angles of the chart in almost exact squares to one another -- all in mutable signs. Still, I don't mean to sound ominous -- many congratulations and well wishes to the Bratman fam!

P.S. Has anyone seen the birth time of Nicole Richie's daughter reported? If so, I would be much obliged!

So I was in New England this weekend with no access to the Interwebs, celebrating my beloved grandmother's 80th birthday (Sunday) at the expense of being able to commemorate the celebrities born that weekend. I hope you will concur with my prioritizing. Now, enough about non-famous people!

Jayden James Federline turns 1 today. I don't want to talk about it, okay? I can't talk about it just yet. Give me time. See Jayden James Federline's birth chart (CelebAstroBlogy)

Okay, okay, I'm back, not dead, and sorry for radio silence!

Madonna's Birthday Forecast: Will She Get to Keep Her Baby?

2007-08-16T18:51:00.001-04:00

Happy 49th(!) birthday to my adored Madonna! This year, the pop-culture fixture is celebrating amidst some drama (but what else is new?) pertaining to her pending adoption of Malawi boy David Banda. Will she be allowed to keep her son? I calculated her solar return, a birthday chart forecasting the year ahead, to find out what is likely to happen with Her Madgesty's little prince.

The solar return chart (calculated for Wiltshire, England, where Madonna and Guy Ritchie share a country estate with their kids) has Virgo rising and Sagittarius on the Descendant, just like in Madonna's natal chart, which suggests that she will in some sense be in her element this year (even though the solar return Ascendant of 29°52" Virgo does suggest an anxious, urgent need to be in control -- but that kind of is Madonna's element, no?). The SR (solar return) Sun's conjunction to Mercury, the chart ruler, as part of a stellium with Venus and Saturn, further strengthens Madonna's position for the year, making her articulate, appealing and authoritative.

The SR Moon, which represents mothering, is in Libra conjunct the SR Ascendant. This signifies her role as a mother will be at the forefront of Madonna's identity this year; the Moon's placement in Libra could refer to her legal fight for the right to claim David as her child, since the Scales are the sign ruling justice.

Also in the solar return chart, transformative Pluto in the international, multicultural sign of Sagittarius is conjunct the Descendant or 4th house cusp, ruling family and home. This is definitely a time of profound change in Madonna's family life. So, will the shift be for better or worse?

Considering that Pluto and the Descendant are trine the Sun-Mercury-Venus-Saturn stellium in Leo in the 11th house, Madonna's odds look very good indeed. Her fame and status with the public (Leo in the 11th), her wealth (Venus) and her overall clout (Saturn) are all working for her. Factor in the angular Moon, and Madonna looks to be one unstoppable adoptive baby-mama. Mazel tov, Madge!

Can Amy Winehouse Handle the Planetary Pressure?

2007-08-15T18:44:00.000-04:00

It's sad that we Americans are no longer number one in anything, not even train-wreck celebrities. We may have Lindsay and Britney, but the Brits have one-upped us with Amy Winehouse, who is not only more talented than those two put together (let's reserve judgment as to whether that's saying much), but can apparently ingest twice the amount of drugs (er, according to British tabloid reports). How did this woman with a tightly wound, perfectionist Sun-Mercury conjunction in Virgo get so out of control? See Amy Winehouse's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

A look at her horoscope suggests that maybe it's precisely because Amy does have such an intense need to be in control -- as well as a rebellious streak that wants to be wild and free -- that the pressure of success has led her into a spiral of self-medicating. Along with the Sun and Mercury, there are other conjunctions in Amy's chart that signify intense concentrations of potentially volatile energy.

First, the conjunction of the Sun in Virgo with its retrograde ruling planet, Mercury, can signify a hyper-perfectionist with a tendency to turn on and be critical of herself. There can be some hypochondria or health worries with this placement.

But despite the Virgo self-criticism, Amy also has a need to shine and a craving for the spotlight with her Venus-Mars conjunction in Leo. Venus is retrograde, suggesting Amy may not go about seeking love and attention in the healthiest way. With Mars close by Venus, she could definitely have a temper and act out dramatically when relationships don't go her way.

Amy also has a close conjunction of free-spirited, expressive Jupiter and radical, unpredictable Uranus in exuberant, spontaneous Sagittarius. Adding to the fire of her Leo Venus-Mars conjunction, this configuration gives Amy a definite don't-tell-me-what-to-do wild streak. With the opposition to Chiron, planet of wounding, this rebellious streak could possibly, again, turn inward and self-destructive.

Currently, and at the time of her alleged OD on August 8, retrograde Uranus in addictive, self-destructive Pisces has been opposite Amy's Sun/Mercury. Aggressive, impulsive Mars in Gemini is on Amy's Chiron, activating the opposition to her natal Jupiter/Uranus. Pisces' ruler Neptune, the planet signifyng addiction and self-delusion, is opposing Amy's Venus-Mars conjunction. And Pluto, the planet of transformation, is right on Amy's natal Neptune. All this planetary pressure adds up to a very volatile picture.

The Uranus-Sun opposition is perhaps most troubling, suggesting that Amy's identity and life are very much in a time of chaotic flux. And Neptune's connection with Venus-Mars suggests that Amy's turbulent relationship with the man in her life, new hubby Pete Doh--er, Blake Fielder-Civil, is very much connected to her addiction demons. Neither of these aspects is going away anytime soon (think, like, 2010 for them to be completely out of orb). Hence, even if early reports that Amy and Blake have entered rehab are true (pause for requisite joke playing on song title), I fear that this talent is not done wrestling with her demons.
