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!

Is Nicole Richie Really Pregnant?

Recently Nicole Richie and her boyfriend Joel Madden kicked up the pregnancy rumors a notch by purchasing a schwanky diaper bag. {Full story} So, as promised, here's an astrological analysis of the question of the hour: Does the food-phobic celebutante actually have a bun in the oven ... and if so, how is she dealing with it health-wise?

First let me start with the caveat that it is extremely difficult to look at pregnancy indicators in a natal horoscope, such as Nicole's, with an unknown birth time. The Moon and the 5th house are two important pregnancy indicators that cannot be pinpointed without a birth time. But I took a look at Nicole's chart just to see what is happening. There is certainly a lot of change, transformation and pressure in her life right now, but I'm not convinced that having a baby on the way has anything to do with it.

In her natal chart, Nicole has a surprising potential for nurturing and mothering, with her Virgo Sun conjunct the asteroid Ceres. This placement suggests that Nicole identifies with a mothering archetype and is a real caretaker.

But that does not necessarily mean the time to indulge her maternal tendencies is now. In Nicole's progressed chart, representing where a person's personality has evolved up to the present date, the Sun has moved out of orb of a conjunction with Ceres. Nowadays, progressed Ceres is closest to natal and progressed Saturn, and trine natal and progressed Chiron, which suggest barrenness and difficulty conceiving more than fertility. (A more auspicious time for pregnancy might have been two years ago, when the progressed Sun was conjunct progressed Jupiter, a planetary pregnancy indicator.)

Currently, Nicole is undergoing a profound transformation with Pluto squaring her Sun, as I first wrote about back in February 2006; her identity has morphed before our eyes. But the snakelike shedding-of-skin suggested by a hard Pluto-Sun aspect does not seem to me representative of the kind of psychic transformation that comes with parenthood. This, to me, says more about Nicole's grasping for fame and status over the past couple of years, and her utter and complete transfiguration, as her body wastes away (Pluto, signifying control issues, could suggest the rigorous self-discipline that many young women with eating issues are determined to maintain) and her personal style continues to change.

Transiting Jupiter currently trines Nicole's natal Mars and sextiles her Saturn. Again, without knowing the house placements it is difficult to pinpoint the significance of these transits, but the fact that Jupiter is aspecting archetypally "masculine" planets suggests that the luck and growth suggests that the good fortune and growth prospects it is bringing Nicole are not of a fertility-oriented nature.

Furthermore, transiting Saturn is aspecting the yod in Nicole's natal chart, suggesting the issues she presently has dealing with authority. Saturn is trine natal Neptune (substance abuse, unrealistic expectations), square Chiron (wounding), and sextile Pluto. With this aspect just getting tighter, and Nicole's sentencing date for her DUI case approaching, Nicole could face some serious punishment just like her BFF, SWSNBN,FPFHHP. And Saturn squaring Chiron could trigger Nicole's tendency to act self-destructive in order to feel in control. Whether or not she is pregnant, I'm concerned that she may not be taking the best care of her body.

It has been buzzed about that Nicole supposedly thinks being pregnant will keep her out of prison. Now, it seems to me that she could just as easily be creating the illusion (Neptune) of a pregnancy to gain sympathy from the authorities (Saturn) who have dominion over her fate (Pluto). Buying a diaper bag seems like a pretty blatant way to send the signal that she's knocked up, considering La Richie could have just sent out an assistant for it -- or waited until she actually has some diapers to put in the bag.

So, I'm not convinced that whatever's going on with Nicole's belly is a "baby bump." But that said, I hesitate to rule out the possibility of a pregnancy altogether without a birth time to do a really comprehensive reading. Sorry to be rather inconclusive, but ultimately we'll have to wait and see!

Is Christina Aguilera Pregnant?

Rumors are swirling that Christina Aguilera is pregnant, and TMZ reports that she and hubby Jordan Bratman were recently sighted at "NY's Maternal Fetal Medicine Association -- a practice known for their expertise in high-risk pregnancies and state-of-the-art ultrasounds." {Source} What does Christina's astrological chart have to say about a possible pregnancy?

In the progressed chart, there are certainly indicators that motherhood is coming to the forefront of Christina's consciousness. Ceres, the asteroid that represents nurturing and is often associated with pregnancy, in mothering Cancer, has moved into an exact opposition to Xtina's natal Mars, and is within three degrees of an opposition to her progressed Sun (while the progressed Sun is a degree and a half away from natal Ceres in Cancer). The progressed Taurus Moon, another signifier of mothering as well as of femininity, is in Christina's progressed 1st house. See Christina Aguilera's birth chart (Astrotheme)

(A note on the Ceres-Mars opposition: masculine-identified Mars rules sexuality, and Xtina's brash, in-your-face sexuality is certainly a major part of her persona. This aspect could suggest that her maternal side is in conflict with the "Dirrty" aspect of her identity.)

Further, in the progressed chart, Jupiter in Libra is sitting right on the 7th house cusp, an indicator that her marriage continues to grow and evolve; with Saturn in Libra also conjuncting the Descendant from the 6th house, their partnership may be about to be tested by a new set of responsibilities and a more intense schedule.

There are also, however, hints that Xtina may have to make some trade-offs if she is going to become a parent, as her career is also highlighted now. Transiting Jupiter in Sagittarius will go stationary direct near her Midheaven in August, then travel through her 10th house until the end of the year, signifying that this is a time of continued career growth and success which may well find her traveling the globe (as she has been on her world tour).

In the progressed chart, Venus in Capricorn on the Midheaven echoes this theme of success and status. Progressed Venus' square to Saturn in the 6th shows this success will come through hard work. Ceres in the 4th house of family and home opposite the Sun in the 10th house hints that her goals for self-advancement could be in direct conflict with her nurturing, maternal urges. When Christina is ready to start a family, she will definitely have to figure out a way to strike a balance. But with that powerful Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in Libra, she should be pretty good at that.

As I have previously discussed, Christina seems like she is in a really good place in her life and has a heartwarmingly solid (and sexy) relationship with her husband. I wish them all the best of luck in starting a family!

Poll Results: When Will Britney Give Birth?

Okay, okay, as I've already abjectly apologized for, we're playing catch-up here on CelebAstroBlogy this week. So, these poll results are a wee smidge late. And since my original post on Britney Spears' due date, there have been (according to others who were able to access the Interwebs this week) a flurry of reports about a forthcoming scheduled C-section. Were our readers prescient in their response to the poll question? Time will tell soon enough.

When will Britney Spears give birth?
And the results are...

Two-thirds of readers believe Britney will give birth in late September, after firstborn son Sean Preston Federline's birthday, giving her baby a Libra Sun. The fall equinox, when the Sun enters Libra, isn't until September 23, so if the rumors about an imminent C-section are true, SPF will wind up with a fellow Virgo sib. Rest assured that, barring further cosmic technical difficulties from the universe (knock wood!), CelebAstroBlogy will be bringing you the new Baby Spederline's birth chart ASAP. So stay tuned!

Poll of the Week: When Will Britney Give Birth?

Britney Spears may feel like she has been pregnant for ten years {Source}, but it seems her second pregnancy is flying by—with not nearly enough bump photos, if you ask me. And as usual with celebrity due dates, there is a complete lack of consensus around when Britney will give birth to Sean Preston's sibling.

Some outlets report that the latest Federline is due right around SPF's first birthday (September 14), while K-Fed himself recently offered up "Halloween" as D-day for his (what kind of a God would allow this?!?!) fourth child's arrival into the world. {Source} But of course, celebrities are notorious for throwing out late due dates to keep the press away from the delivery room, and one assumes that K-Fed's math skills are on a par with his verbal and rapping skills, so it is necessary to take this pronouncement with a margarita glass worth of salt.

Pursuant to consultation with Senior Bumpalysist Karen, who believes Brit Brit to be about eight months along, it seemed clear that Britney would make sure to stagger her scheduled C-section around Sean's birthday, so that she could throw him a party. But would she plan to give birth before or after her son's big day? Or might Kevin be telling the truth, meaning we have a whole two months more of giganta-bump photo ops to look forward to? This is the question posed to you, gentle readers.

The Poll of the Week is...

Voting closes Tuesday, September 5. Check back Wednesday, September 6, for the results!

Poll Results: Is Halle Berry Pregnant?

Where does the summer go? Okay, okay, so technically more than a week has gone by since the Poll of the Week was posted, but we all know that the passage of time speeds up in August, in some instances creating a quantum wormhole that might cause the clock to jump from, say, 1:30 AM to 4:00 AM in the blink of an eye. Anyhoo...

"Last week"'s Poll of the Week was:
Do you think Halle Berry is pregnant?

And the results are...

...evenly split between "No" and "No, but she will be by year's end," with one lone vote of "Yes." Well, time will tell, gentle readers, time will tell.

Poll of the Week: Is Halle Berry Pregnant?

People seem to have very strong opinions about the possibility that Halle Berry is pregnant. My feeling is that her progressed and solar return charts show a very optimistic forecast for pregnancy by the end of the year. But many readers have opined that her so-called "baby bump" looks more like bloat. What do you think?

The Halle Berry Bump Watch Continues

The rumor mill in the sky keeps on turning! While many readers were unconvinced by photos of Halle Berry supposedly showing signs of what might be a baby bump, new pictures that find her covering up her stomach are stirring up more suspicion. {Source}Happily, this time around I can actually look into the rumor using astrology, for I now have a sourced birth time thanks to reader Pluto, who provided the 11:59 PM time based on an interview Halle gave Ladies' Home Journal. Thanks, Pluto!

Halle's natal chart shows an almost boundless nurturing capacity and an urgent need to be a mother, represented by a Mars-Jupiter conjunction in mothering Cancer, and chart ruler Venus at 29° Cancer flanking the 4th house cusp, also at 29° Cancer. See Halle Berry's birth chart (vegaattractions.com) Both the 4th house and its associated sign, Cancer, represent family, home, foundation and nurturing; Cancer rules motherhood. The 29th and final degree of a sign holds a certain level of anxiety about the affairs ruled by that sign, as if the person feels compelled to hurry up and wrap up loose ends pertaining to the sign. This certainly mirrors Halle's sense of biological-clock urgency and her statement that if she is not a mom by 40 she'll ask whatever man she's with if he wants to have a baby.

But beneath that anxiety there is a real potential to be a great mom. With that emotionally generous Mars-Jupiter conjunction in Cancer, and a total of four planets, including the vital Sun and Moon (ruler of Cancer), plus Venus, ruler of her Taurus Ascendant, in the 4th house of family, home and foundation, Halle has a lot of nurturing energy to give. The 4th-house stellium of the Sun, Moon and Mercury in Leo will make her a fiercely protective mother who is passionately proud of her kids, encourages and praises them constantly, and wants them to shine.

There are certainly indicators in Halle's natal chart of her painful history, such as the intercepted Saturn-Chiron conjunction in Pisces in a loose opposition to her tight Uranus-Pluto conjunction in Virgo. Life lessons (Saturn) have been painful (Chiron) for Halle; the opposition to the volatile energy of erratic Uranus and manipulative Pluto in controlling Virgo hints at her turbulent, abusive past. But there are also signs that Halle is reaching a more stable, settled, positive place in life and that luck may be turning her way.

In Halle's progressed chart, an astrological measure of where a person has evolved in life and personality, Halle's progressed Sun has just entered Libra and is trining the Aquarius Moon, signaling a significant shift in her energy and an increased focus on relationships. Cancer has come to the Ascendant of the progressed chart, and there is a stellium of five planets in the 4th house. Progressed Venus conjuncting Pluto in Virgo in the 4th house shows that Halle is taking control of her relationships and her home environment to establish stability and a sense of grounding.

Progressed Jupiter has moved into the 4th house and is right on Halle's Venus, an indicator of good fortune and stability in relationships. Expansive Jupiter in the 4th house could represent an addition to the family or household. Halle's solar return (birthday) chart for this year has a Moon-Jupiter opposition that could also augur good luck conceiving and an expansion to the family.

With the positive Jupiter aspects and the emphasis on Cancer and the 4th house, auspices of motherhood are looking pretty darned good for our Ms. Berry. If she is not pregnant already, she may well be soon. In late November and early December, when transiting Jupiter trines her Venus/IC and then her Moon, giving her a particularly fertile (literally) window of opportunity. I wish Halle the best of luck in fulfilling this dream and finally finding the sense of security and stability she deserves.

Kristy Swanson and Lloyd Eisler Are Expecting an Aquarius Baby!!!

OMG, OMG, OMG! As faithful readers know, I am obsessed with figure skating, obsessed with celebrities and obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer. So I was pretty much over the moon about Skating with Celebrities, starring O.G. Buffy Kristy Swanson. And I was even further (closer?) beside myself when it turned out that Kristy's superhot on-ice chemistry with partner and eventual co-winner Lloyd Eisler was extending beyond the rink. (Yeah, yeah, I know, he left his pregnant wife and kid for her. These things happen. This is O.G. Buffy we're talking about here, people. Don't hate!) And now comes the delicious icing-on-the-cake word that the rumors are true. Kristy and Lloyd are expecting a baby! {Source: CBB}

As I reported back in February when the news of the hookup broke, Kristy, a Sagittarius, and Lloyd, a Taurus, are not traditionally the best match. But, fortuitously, Kristy has a Taurus Moon, which makes for a nice connection in a romantic relationship. (Traditionally, a man's Moon in a woman's Sun sign is supposed to be the ideal, but I'm all about Sun-Moon connections making a couple compatible regardless of how they map out gender-wise.){Read the full story on Kristy and Lloyd's romantic compatibility} The baby is due on Valentine's Day, 2007, making him/her an Aquarius.

Adding a little air to the mix (Aquarius is the water-bearer but an air sign; it's a common misconception that Aquarius is a water sign) should make things even more interesting for this earth-fire couple. Unconventional Aquarius is typically more simpatico with free-spirited fire sign Sagittarius than with stable earth sign Taurus, so the baby may have more in common with mama Kristy than with daddy Lloyd.

Given their Sun signs, these two might actually reverse gender roles when it comes to parenting. With his nurturing Taurus Sun and Cancer Moon, Lloyd might be the one who's home baking cookies and tending the vegetable garden, while Sagittarian Kristy is the one who takes the kid out to the park to toss the ball around.

With a vampire slayer for a mom and a figure skater for a dad, this child is going to turn out to be one cool little Aquarius. I heartily encourage everyone to put aside the hateration and congratulate this cute couple on their forthcoming Aquarian addition to the fam!

Please Help Me Investigate the Halle Berry Pregnancy Rumors!

Calling all astrologers! Does anyone have confirmed or at least sourced birth data for the lovely Halle Berry? These pictures of her would seem to suggest she is pregnant, and I would love to take a peep at her chart. But—so maddening!—there are a number of birth times floating around the Interwebs. (There's even some discrepancy about the year, with a few sources saying 1968, but Halle has talked a lot recently about turning 40 soon, and as I stated in the case of J.Lo, it's highly unusual for an actress to add years to her age.)

According to most sources, Halle Maria Berry was born on August 14, 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio. Astrotheme says she entered the world at 12:00 PM, which is suspect since that is their default chart time. Astroprofile.com puts her arrival at 9:03 PM while vegaattractions.com says 11:59 PM. No sources are given for any of the three birth times. Does anyone know which, if any, of these is correct?

Your help is much appreciated, dear readers! Thanks in advance!

UPDATE: As some commenters have pointed out, subsequent pictures of Halle do not seem to show a bump. Hmmm.... {Source}

Nicole Kidman Sure Looks Pregnant

Wow, Nicole Kidman does look pregnant in this picture, I gotta tell ya. I have already discussed the fact that the alleged timing of her wedding to Keith Urban troubles me, as it does not bode well for their marriage. But perhaps nice Catholic girl Nic is just in a hurry to get hitched so she can make her baby legal.

Right now Jupiter is in Nicole's first house, which can represent growth and expansion (literal and figurative) on the physical level. ~ See Nicole Kidman's birth chart (Astrotheme) Obviously this could describe her bump; a pregnancy would be a massive (literally) physical expansion for a Skeletor like Nicole.

Jupiter also rules luck and blessings, and Nicole has made no secret of her profound wish to be blessed with a biological child. (Which really begs the question of why she and Tom Cruise didn't have one, but we won't go there.)

In Nicole's progressed chart, representing her personality's evolution up to the present moment, the Moon (motherhood) in Taurus in the 5th house, which rules children, is moving into an almost exact trine with Venus, Taurus' ruling planet and the planet of relationships. Together the Moon and Venus, two female-identified planets, in harmony represent Nicole's readiness for a child.

Progressed Jupiter is also closely trining Nicole's natal Moon in Sagittarius (which is ruled by Jupiter), a great indicator of good luck conceiving, as well as moving toward a conjunction with her natal Venus, another possible indicator.

Indeed, as PerezHilton.com suggests, an announcement could be imminent, with Uranus about to station in Nicole's 5th house. If Nicole really is pregnant, congratulations to her and Keith; even if I'm not the biggest fan of their relationship, when it comes to baby-making I wish them both the best of luck and good health.

Is Jennifer Aniston Pregnant?

For major celebs, pregnancy rumors seem to pop up at regular intervals. To wit, when I Googled "jennifer aniston pregnant," I found two separate breathless announcements from 2004 that she and Brad Pitt were thisclose to announcing their beautiful little bun in the oven.

But this time, photo evidence is kinda hard to dismiss. In photos from recent Break-Up premieres, Jennifer Aniston, the woman whose abs are usually practically concave (or is it convex?) is now sporting a pooch that, while modest when judged against the midsections of most American women, qualifies her as morbidly obese by Friends-women standards. {Source: ONTD}

Granted, if your ex was the sexiest man on earth and the sexiest woman on earth had just given birth to his baby, you might hole up in your hotel room with enough Haagen-Dazs and tequila to produce a gut in a matter of weeks. (I mean really, can't all you haters show the woman a little sympathy? Jeeze.) But I took a look at Jen's horoscope, as well as her progressed chart, and really, it is just possible that she and Vince Vaughn could be trying to keep up with Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Over the past couple of years, Jen has definitely been going through a tough time, and is wary of trusting again. In her progressed chart, which shows where a person has evolved in his or her life, Jen's Sun has entered Aries, the sign of the individual, and is approaching a conjunction to Chiron, the planetoid that symbolizes wounding. With this Sun-Chiron conjunction, she feels damaged, like something is fundamentally wrong with her, and that she is on her own. (Jen, I recommend Tara Brach's book Radical Acceptance.)

In her progressed chart, Jennifer's Venus turned retrograde in Aries in early 2003... perhaps around the time she and Brad started to grow apart? It is now moving toward a conjunction with progressed Saturn, which sits on her natal 7th house (partnership) cusp, showing her extreme wariness toward trusting anyone but herself or entering into another relationship.

Yet in the face of all this, Jen is constantly reminding herself to be optimistic about love, with Jupiter in Libra opposing her Sun. Jupiter is conjunct Uranus, which brings the urge to be impulsive and unpredictable in expressing oneself. And it is also worth noting that Jen's progressed Sun at 0° Aries (the start point of the zodiac, symbolizing new beginnings) is coming toward a conjunction with Vince's natal Sun at 6° Aries, while her progressed Venus at 26° Aries retrogrades toward a conjunction with Vince's natal Venus at 24° Aries. Jen is still in a lot of pain from her last relationship, but she is excited about connecting with Vince and trying something new. And as time goes on and she settles into the relationship, she seems in some ways to be growing more like him, coming around to his relationship style. With natal Mars in Scorpio coming to the Ascendant of the progressed chart, Jen wants to be seen as more impulsive, dynamic and passionate.

Yes, yes, you say, but what does all this have to do with babies? Well, Venus is in the 5th house (children) of Jennifer's progressed chart, though it has been there for several years, and the progressed Sun is in the 4th house of home and family, so after all she's been through, she is still looking to settle down into stability and be on solid ground at this point in her life.

And looking at her transits, retrograde Pluto is about to stop just short of a conjunction to her Moon, representing the emotions as well as one's attitude about motherhood. Jen has been reevaluating her feelings about motherhood over the past couple of years as Pluto passes back and forth over her Moon. As it makes its last close pass, has Jen finally decided to take the life-changing leap into parenthood? See Jennifer Aniston's birth chart (Astrotheme) Certainly, the fact that Jen's Moon conjuncts Brad Pitt's Sun is absolutely coincidental and would signify nothing about his influence on her decision to have a baby.

Incidentally, in Vince's chart, transiting retrograde Jupiter is 6° away from his natal retrograde Jupiter in the 1st house, signifying good luck that comes in unusual ways (e.g. the unexpected success of The Break-Up), and Saturn (which represents fatherhood as well as responsibility) is squaring his natal Saturn. So perhaps Vince, who does seem like an unlikely candidate for family man, is challenging himself to take on a new level of adult responsibility. See Vince Vaughn's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Obviously, time will tell whether Jen Pilates-es off that pooch or whether it blossoms into a full-blown bump. While I am clearly biased in favor of the creation of more celebrity babies, as they are this blog's bread and butter, I for one would like to see these two bring a little Vinnifer into the world. With all that Aries between the two of them, they are each focused on themselves as individuals, and having a baby would likely put all those things they angst about now (their abs, her hair) into perspective. Stay tuned!

The Latest J.Lo Pregnancy Rumor

Periodically, rumors surface that Jennifer Lopez is pregnant with the zombie spawn of her undead third husband, Marc Anthony. Such murmurings have recently been posted by Perez Hilton:

The usually stylish J. Lo looked rather plump in the mid-section and was sporting many a grey hair, a sign of women in the first trimester of their pregnancy....

Sources tell PerezHilton.com that the singer was scheduled to perform a series of concerts and Lopez just cancelled her entire international tour at the last minute, leaving many to believe that an impending pregnancy led her to make that decision. Source

Now, when last we reported a J.Lo pregancy rumor, in late January, I discussed the fact that her Moon sign was uncertain due to her unknown birth time. But at the time I was unaware of an even greater ambiguity, which is that J.Lo's year of birth is alternately given as 1969 or 1970. Without hard evidence in favor of one or the other, I have chosen to continue working with the 1969 chart, operating on the assumption that it would be highly unusual for a actress to lie and add a year to her age. Astrotheme now even has a chart with a birth time, though it makes me a little nervous that the time is exactly noon, which is the same time they use for default charts. See Jennifer Lopez's birth chart (Astrotheme, 1969 birth data) Please email me if you have evidence in favor of a different chart for La Lopez or have any idea where the noon birth time comes from.

With that out of the way, let us look at the current aspects affecting J.Lo.

If the noon time is correct, she has 14° Libra on the Ascendant, a degree currently being inconjuncted by Uranus in Pisces in the 5th house. The 5th house does rule pregnancy and childbirth, and the Ascendant represents physical appearance, so this aspect at least shows the impression, if not necessarily the reality, that Jennifer is pregnant. Pisces is ruled by confusing, deceptive Neptune and could represent the cloudy perception more than the actuality of a pregnancy. Neptune is also trining Jennifer's Venus, which could also be creating an aura of confusion around her.

With Mars crossing the Midheaven (ambitions and goals), and Saturn on her Sun-Mercury conjunction in the 10th house of career, it would seem that Jenny is focused on her many enterprises and quite disciplined at the moment. Of course it's no secret that she wants to have a baby, but I don't know that she has allowed herself to slow down long enough to let it happen. Honestly, I'm sorry to say it, but I don't see her being preggers.

Britney Spears, Serial Mom

Oh, Britney, Britney, how was I supposed to know that something wasn't right here?

Oh, pretty Britney, I thought you just let yourself go... but now you're really pregnant. [Source - um, way to rip off my headline, CNN]

According to E! Online, "Spears is reportedly due in October, just a couple of weeks after Sean Preston [Federline]'s first birthday." [Source] Ah, but those two weeks mark the transition from Virgo to Libra, which means that Bebe Deux will be a very different personality from little SPF: social and outgoing where he is withdrawn and shy. If the baby is born in the early days of October with a charming, graceful Libra Sun and Venus, seductive Mercury in Scorpio and an audience-seeking Aquarius Moon, he/she could even follow in Britney's footsteps to become an artist (of sorts) and sex symbol. Well, not straight from the womb, obviously, but you know what I mean.

I cannot bring myself to comment further at this juncture, although the words "What kind of a God would allow this?" do come to mind. Rest assured that we will be maintaining a vigilant watch for any updates on Britney's due date. Meanwhile, people, I can't stress this enough: Get your local Federlines spayed and neutered!!!

Britney: Baby One More Time?

Oh, my poor, dear Britney. What can I say about your marriage, life and possible, now seemingly ever more certain, pregnancy that will get you to heed my warnings? Now the ever-reliable Us Weekly is reporting that Britney is definitely, visibly, inconcealably (especially in a bikini) pregnant, per a bunch of people sitting around a hotel pool, who obviously could not be wrong. [Source]

Supposedly Britney is due on October 2 or 3, which would make her second-born a Libra, a good match for a Sag like Britney (although very different from Virgo sib Sean Preston). See Sean Preston Federline's birth chart (Astrotheme) And if the baby were indeed born on Oct. 2 or 3, it would have an Aquarius Moon like Britney. See Britney Spears' birth chart (Astrotheme)

But is Britney really pregnant? The gossipmonger I respect most, Ted Casablanca, is voicing some suspicions:

"There was the Caesars employee who described Brit as 'definitely pregnant' only to shake her head and say 'of course, it could be baby weight.'

Far more insistent was one of K-Fed's numerous amigos.... 'I'm here with them,' he said, all proud.... 'And my boy's gonna be a daddy again. She's having the baby in September. C-section.'

Such odd talk from a dude, doncha think? Especially given that he was at a table full of strangers. Yet so specific was this information that I had no choice but to put in a call to Brit's lovely flack. Apparently, the Spears spokeswoman didn't like this guy's maneuverings, either. She hasn't responded. So far." [Source]

For the past couple of years, Neptune, the planet of confusion and deception, has been conjuncting Britney's Moon, representing the mother principle, in Aquarius, sign of the public and mass media, in the 5th house of childbirth. So it's no surprise that there is widespread lack of clarity about what's really happening in Brit's belly. With Mars having just crossed her Midheaven (career goals), she has recently been focused on her career (working on her album in Hawaii). Chiron, the planet of wounding, is inconjuncting Mars as it approaches a station within a few degrees of Britney's 5th-house Moon. This suggests that a pregnancy would force Britney to adjust her current career comeback-oriented M.O. If, as Us reports, she indeed cried when she got the pregnancy news, she could be grieving the loss of her album (a creative output that, like childbirth, is ruled by the 5th house) and the chance to get back into the spotlight, as well as the fact that another baby keeps her tethered to Kevin (Us says she had thoughts of splitting with him, hence the tears upon learning of the pregnancy).

Lord knows that as much as I love Britney, anything that keeps her married to Kevin, not to mention brings more Federlines into the world, cannot be a good thing. Well, of course time will tell whether Brit has a bun in the oven or just a little excess padding. I don't know what those people by the pool saw, but based on her chart alone, I'm still holding out some hope that my girl will wait to have her next baby with her next husband.

TomKitten = KittyTaurus?

OMG! The April 17 issue of OK!'s U.S. edition reports that Katie Holmes' due date for her spawn-of-L.-Ron baby with Tom Cruise is April 21:

In recent weeks, Tom has been keeping busy not only working but also planning the birth of their little TomKitten—which OK! has learned is due to arrive on April 21—with senior members of the Church of Scientology.

This is astounding to me for two reasons: (1) Hasn't she been pregnant for, like, 17 months, with that bump changing size more often than Oprah? Haven't they been preparing with frankincense, myrrh, and silent-birth cue cards outside the Cruise Compound for weeks now? And more importantly, (2) April 21 is MY BIRTHDAY! Not only would I be terrified to share a birthday with this freak of nature, I will also be so pissed if I have to excuse myself from aging-related activities involving beer and cake to run its chart. (We Taureans love our beer and cake, let me tell you.)

Plus, I'm really not feeling the way an April 21 birth relates to Katie's chart. The baby's Sun at the very beginning of Taurus would be an awkward, uncomfortable fit with Katie's Sun, Moon and Ascendant in late degrees of fire signs (Sagittarius Sun, Leo Moon and Ascendant). I can't see her really relating to an earth-sign child. (See Katie Holmes' birth chart; Astrotheme)

Meanwhile, Tom's Moon at 1° Leo would square TomKitten's Sun, suggesting that he may try to impose his own will on the baby's identity and in some ways assume the nurturing/mothering role himself. I mean, I'm all for nontraditional gender roles in parenting, but in his case all I can say is, ay que freak show! (See Tom Cruise's birth chart; Astrotheme)

Moreover, a baby born April 21 or up to a week later would have Sun conjuncting Katie's Chiron, the planet of wounding, possibly suggesting a C-section or a very painful birth. As we all know, Scientology forbids Katie to speak or take painkillers during the birth, which is downright disturbing. I mean, most red-blooded Americans enjoy talking and taking painkillers even when they're not in labor, so this really seems cruel and unusual. I am concerned about her giving birth during this time, especially in an environment that is so utterly unsupportive of her physical and emotional needs. C'mon, Katie, pop that tot out NOW, while the Sun is still in Aries—you will have such a better relationship with a fire-sign child than with an earth sign!

Yet Another Angelina Due Date Update

The Brangelina baby watch continues. To recap: The initial reports had her due around her own birthday in early June. Now, after recently reporting a mid-May due date for Angelina Jolie's first biological boobah, Star has gone so far as to peg the date as May 18 in its April 3 issue:

"'The official due date is May 18,' a source close to the Pitts tells Star.... Star consulted numerologist-astrologist Carmen Harra, author of Decoding Your Destiny. Here are her predictions: 'He -- and I'm feeling male energy -- will be extremely creative. He will be handsome and thoughtful, loving and charismatic -- but not overly emotional. His strongest connection will be with his mother.'"

Before we move on to my own reading of the May 18 chart, a few passing comments. First of all, I HATE, HATE, HATE when people refer to astrologers as "astrologists." That would be like a celeb referring to her "styler" or "publicer." Second of all, every astrologer knows you cannot tell gender from a birth chart. Yes, you can pick up on masculine energy, but that could just as easily mean a little baby butch girl -- especially with a badass mama like Angelina. Third of all, way to go foreseeing that a newborn baby's strongest bond will be with its mother. That is some keen predictive power, boy. (Not that I am in any way bitter that the Star did not call me for an expert opinion on a Taurus baby for Brangelina. It's not like I am an expert on Brangelina or Tauruses. But whatever, I'm totally enlightened and so over it.)

Anyhoo, if born on May 18, the Brangelina baby will not necessarily be butch so much as have a nontraditional sense of gender and a refreshingly free interplay of "masculine" and "feminine" traits, what with masculine Mars in nurturing Cancer and feminine Venus in Mars-ruled Aries. Especially if born after 8:00 AM (I'm assuming a birthplace of Paris, France, since the tabloid consensus seems to be that Angie wants her baby born there as opposed to early frontrunners L.A. and Africa) with a progressive, experimental Aquarius Moon, Branjunior/Brangelette would be a nonconformist in terms of gender roles. With a tight Sun-Mercury conjunction in Taurus, mini-Brange would be very bright and, yes, creative. The Jupiter-Uranus trine in water signs contributes to the creativity as well as the progressive mindset. This chart certainly fits the child of two actors who travel the world and adopt children from different cultures, not to mention a mom who is unabashedly bisexual, flies planes at 7+ months pregnant and will probably be squeezing into black leather catsuits within weeks of giving birth.

A May 18 birthday for Brangelissimo would mean Venus on Angelina's Jupiter (and possibly Moon opposite her Venus/Ascendant, depending on birth time) as well as Pluto on Brad Pitt's Sun, signifying how his life and sense of self would be transformed by the baby. (Pluto is slow-moving, so this aspect would be in effect even if the baby is not born right on May 18.) With the Sun-Mercury conjunction in late Taurus trining Brad's Moon-Venus, I actually think the little one might be more connected to Brad (you hear that, Carmen Harra? It's ON!) in the long run. With the baby's Neptune on Brad's Saturn, he would be a doting dad -- the kid could easily charm his/her way out of any kind of discipline or punishment because Brad adores him/her so much.

Of course, even if the Star has obtained the true due date (seems to me celebs often plant fake dates to maintain their privacy around the blessed event), there's no guarantee that Brandene will come into the world as scheduled. (Well, unless they, um, schedule the delivery. They can do that these days.) For instance, the kid could easily pop out a few days earlier with his/her Moon in Sagittarius conjuncting Brad's Sun. But this due date does seem like it's in the ballpark, with the way it depicts Brad's heart being utterly melted, and Angelina feeling blessed (Venus conjunct her Jupiter), by the bambino/a. Needless to say, I will be keeping an ear out for any further due date updates and encourage you to email me if you find any.

Demi and Ashton: Baby Rumors!

Perez Hilton is reporting that Star is reporting (don'tcha love the gossip hall of mirrors?) that Demi Moore was spied shopping at a baby store and making such remarks as "I like this for the baby" and "I wonder if Ashton would like this." What the report, at least as so far reported, does not mention is whether Demi was sporting a baby bump. And yet she allegedly did not want to wait 8-12 weeks for furniture to be delivered, which begs the question of when she might be delivering.

Now, I admit to being all sorts of confused about the normal progress rate of pregnant women's bellies thanks to the public yo-yo gestation process of one Katie Holmes, but surely some enterprising paparazzo would have spotted developments in Demi's abdominal region if she had a baby set to arrive in a mere two months. Of course, the other alternatives would be that Mr. and Mrs. Kutcher are adopting or making use of a surrogate. Let's see what Demi's chart has to say.... See Demi Moore's astrological chart (Astrotheme)

From a look at her progressed chart (a chart that depicts how the individual has grown and evolved), Demi is in a great place in her life, especially in terms of relationships. Direct-by-progression Venus is conjuncting her Sun and approching the return to its natal position. After a volatile early life in which her parents provided a train wreck of a relationship model (Source: IMDB), Demi has worked through a lot of relationship issues and reached a point where her partnership really strengthens and validates who she is. Venus' importance is further highlighted by the fact that it is the ruler of the progressed chart, with Taurus on the progressed Ascendant. And Demi's progressed Moon is in the 7th house of partnership, another sign that love and relationships are focal in her life right now. (Incidentally, the progressed chart is calculated by advancing the natal chart a day for every year of the person's life, and Demi's chart has now progressed to Christmas Day, which seems like fitting symbolism for the many blessings in her life right now.)

So, could all this love and affection be directed toward a new baby, as well as her partner? Uranus and Pluto have moved to the 5th house, which rules motherhood, in Demi's progressed chart, but this has been the case since before she first became a mom way back in '88, it doesn't tell us much about the prospect of a present pregnancy. Venus rules the 1st and 7th houses of the progressed chart, so this seems to be saying more about Demi's marriage than hitning at a new addition to the family. It seems like Demi and Ashton really might be soul mates like they've been saying all along, though. Who'd'a thunk it? See Ashton Kutcher's astrological chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Turning to the transits to Demi's natal chart, we find that retrograde Saturn is currently transiting the 5th house -- which, again, rules motherhood and is an important point in the chart where we would seek out pregnancy indicators. But Saturn, the planet of restriction, repression and hard lessons, is not exactly the bearer of joyous tidings when it comes to childbirth. Furthermore, Saturn is opposing its own natal position in the 11th house, indicating a time of reckoning or testing, a theme that is reinforced by transiting Uranus in Pisces opposing natal Pluto. And with Saturn approaching a conjunction to the karmic North Node, there could be a deep spiritual lesson coming up for Demi, requiring her to go beyond what comes easily for her and make a leap of faith. Chiron has been opposing Saturn -- and just crossed Demi's Saturn -- suggesting thaht this lesson could be a painful one. I hope very much that this does not signify the dashing of their pregnancy hopes, but perhaps a reevaluation and reestablishment of those hopes. Saturn in the 5th could indicate difficulty conceiving, but the contact with the North Node suggests that if Demi meets this obstacle with an enlightened attitude, it could lead her to a higher purpose. With transiting Pluto having just crossed her natal Midheaven, Demi has been transforming her life goals and aspirations. Success means something different to her now than when she was young and hungry. With Jupiter retrograding over her Sun-Venus, she is in the midst of a period of growth and expansion that will enrich who she is and her relationships.

To me, what this suggests is that there may not necessarily be a pregnancy, but that the Moore-Kutcher household could receive the gift of a family addition through unconventional means -- the emphasis on Uranus, Aquarius and the 11th house of community reminds me of the "it takes a village" approach to child-raising. Aquarius also rules progress and new technology, so a technique like the use of a surrogate could be in the works. Or, given that Demi's progressed Moon is in multi-culti Sagittarius and passing through her natal 9th house of long-distance travel, she could pull an Angelina and jet across the world in search of an infant to become the adoptive Kabbalina Kutcher. Either way, Saturn's placement suggests the challenge of getting past an attachment to conventional biological parenting and embracing the idea of motherhood in a more cosmic, progressive way.

Sweet Jesus, Is Britney Pregnant Again?!

Rumors are running rampant that my dear Britney Spears may have yet another bun in her oven. The alternative view holds that Brit simply hasn't lost her pooch from the first one. This is clearly terrifying, because, I mean, what if Federline sperm is super-powerful and after Britney dumps him, Kevin opens a fertility clinic and the earth is overtaken by Federlines? This could be the doomsday prophecy of which the Mayans foretold! Leaving that aside for the moment, however, there are two pressing questions: (1) Is Britney indeed pregnant? and (2) How long till she pulls a Denise Richards and realizes that she's actually better off raising two kids on her own than having to care for the kids and a disease-ridden, impulse-control-challenged man-child?

Well, first things first. Britney is definitely in a strong nesting phase right now. She may have initially told People that she couldn't wait to get back on the road, but she does not want to stray far from home and her baby. In Britney's progressed chart (a measure of where a person has evolved to in her life), the Sun is conjunct the Descendant or cusp of the her natal 4th house, which rules home and family, and the Moon, the natural ruler of the 4th house, which is all about mothering and nurturing. She is strongly identified with her role as mother and nest-builder right now. (The fact that these planets are all in Capricorn may represent that Britney has to be the breadwinner and disciplinarian in the household as well as the nurturer.) Of course, the 4th house emphasis could just mean that Britney is focused on taking care of the child she already has. But with those Capricorn planets lined up, I wonder if she doesn't have a plan to put the mothering thing into high gear and become a baby factory now so she can get back to her career. (After all, why lose the baby weight when you're just gonna gain it back, y'all?)

Now, what about Kevin? Well, with Neptune, the planet of delusion and illusion, finally separating from Britney's Moon, the glow is wearing off her feelings for him. It's not like there are such great aspects for compatibiity in their charts, other than her Venus opposing his Mars, square her Pluto, which makes for all that hot sex she was always talking about on Chaotic. (Gross, yes, but frankly, I'm relieved to know that selfish, shiftless three-planets-in-Aries mofo is good for something.) Kevin's impulsive, spontaneous Sun in Aries trines Britney's Uranus in Sagittarius, which makes her feel wild, adventurous and free around him. Yet Britney's progressed chart, representing where she's at in her life now, shows that she is not really into expressing her free-spirited Sagittarian side right now. It would seem that Britney has grown while Kevin continues to be a party boy.

But, sad to say, that doesn't necessarily mean that Britney will sever ties with Kevin and permanently confiscate the Ferrari keys anytime soon. Neptune is still going to go retrograde and return to within 5° of Brit's Moon. And those Capricorn planets in her progressed chart could also speak to a dogged determination to keep her family together. I'm afraid she might not throw in the towel till late November, when retrograde Uranus stations in a square to her Sun and Britney just can't take it anymore and explodes. In the meantime, I will be compiling a list of whom Britney should date next. Please post your suggestions and I'll run the charts!

No, Really, What's Up With Katie's Belly?

This disturbing photo* got me wondering about exactly whose alien fetus is or is not in Katie Holmes' womb, and whether astrology might help solve the mystery. Turns out some truly freaky-deaky transits are taking place in this budding Scientologist's chart.

In her birth chart, Katie has Venus, the relationship planet, conjuncting alternative-lifestyle Uranus in Scorpio in the 4th house of home and family, which could suggest some kinky goings-on behind closed doors, and perhaps an unconventional family or household arrangement. With Scorpio on the 4th house cusp, there could definitely be some skeletons in the closet.

At the moment, Jupiter has just entered Katie's 4th house of home and family. This can mean an addition to the family as well as a material upgrade to the home, i.e. moving in with Richy McMovieStar. As Jupiter approaches Venus, this could be a nice "aww, motherhood is expanding her capability to love" aspect. But remember, with Venus comes Uranus, and when Jupiter contacts this conjunction Katie's home life could become very volatile and unstable. Again, the Scorpio influence can mean secrecy as well as issues with power and control.

Another HUGE transit in Katie's life that hints at major life transformation, as well as secrecy and power struggles, is Pluto sitting right on top of her Sagittarius Sun (a transit that affects her all year). Pluto is the planet of transformation, and as it moves over Katie's Sun, she has certainly become an unrecognizably different person. (um, Catholic virgin to unwed pregnant Scientologist? Katie to Kate?) Katie's Sun is in the 5th house of children, so this could mean that motherhood is changing her life. But Pluto, ruler of Scorpio, also brings hints of control and manipulation. As if some powerful force were controlling the process of transformation. Katie's Sun and Jupiter are in mutual reception, meaning they vibe off each other; with both planets in fire signs, one would expect Katie to be bursting with exuberance 24/7. But Jupiter's placement in the 12th house of self-undoing damps down the enthusiasm a bit. Could this be the chart of someone who jumped at a chance for fame -- then realized it meant giving away her own power and hiding her true self? Was that a loaded question?

And as if that weren't enough secretive 12th-house action, Saturn, the planet of structure, restriction and paternalistic authority, is sitting on Katie's Jupiter, further repressing her self-expression. Gosh, it's almost as if some strong male personality were imposing his will on Katie's Sagittarian free spirit. As 2006 rolls on, Saturn will steamroll over Katie's Moon (emotions) and Ascendant (self-image), perhaps causing her to withdraw even further into herself as her fire-sign energy is snuffed out by Saturn.

Neptune -- currently transiting Katie's 6th house, which, interestingly, governs one's day-to-day responsibilities -- is in Aquarius, the sign of mass communication, directly opposite Katie's Leo Moon, which rules emotions and mothering. While Leo is the "look at me" sign, Katie's Moon is in the 12th house of the subconscious; here again we see that tension between loving the spotlight and preferring to remain hidden behind the scenes. Neptune, the planet of delusion, illusion and deception, seems to be creating an aura of mystery around Katie's status as a mother (Moon). Her pregnancy has been offered up to the masses via the media (Aquarius) as a spectacle (Leo), yet seems on some level to be a Neptunian illusion -- hence, perhaps, the morphing bump. Time will tell -- maybe -- whether an actual baby or the spawn of Xenu emerges into the world. But I'm guessing Neptune will figure PROMINENTLY in whatever-it-is's chart. Does anyone have a due date on this little beastie, anyway? Given that the photo above was taken in October, the fact that she's not RV-sized at this point raises some questions....

So, to sum up, Jupiter's entry into the 4th house and Pluto's transit of Katie's (Kate's?!) Sun could signify that she is indeed about to experience the life transformation that is giving birth to her first child. Or, with Neptune, Saturn and the 12th house in the picture, Katie's life change could be something more sinister. Clearly, further study of this matter is needed. Unless hustled into the trunk of a car by L. Ron Hubbard's "legal team," I will follow up soon with analysis of Tom Cruise's chart and how it relates to Katie. Come to think of it, I wonder if anyone has established an astrological chart for the founding of Scientology. Please e-mail me with any thoughts or data.

*UPDATE: This link, which originally yielded a photo timeline of Katie's inexplicably growing and shrinking baby bump, no longer works, and I have searched in vain for another copy of the image on the interwebs. Suffice to say, it was a disturbing pic. Also, please see Media-Darling.com's updated report on TomKitten's birth chart.
