ASTROCHICK

RISING STAR: Kevin Federline

Yes, I know Kevin Federline has been cast as the "villain" in the never ending Britney Spears saga. First let's get real, she DID ask him to marry her and she did steal this man away from his pregnant girlfriend. Yes, that makes him a bastard and Britney well all I have to say is karma is a bitch.

Kevin was born on March 21, 1978 in Fresno, California which makes him an Aries. Unfortunately, I could not locate the time he was born to figure out his rising sign. In his chart he has a grand stellium with Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Aries. This is a person who will rise to fame quickly and could just as easily disappear. This year Saturn in Leo will transit all three planets in Aries, giving him a new level of maturity and responsibility.

His Mars in Cancer, squares all three Aries planets. Here is a man who is independent, witty, and charming on the positive side. On the negative side, he is arrogant, insecure, jealous, and someone who likes to thumb his nose at authority. What do I believe was the major problem between Britney and Kevin? She was too controlling and jealous. She needs to be the center of attention and her husband was beginning to outshine her. This is reflection of her current attitude since she left Kevin. Shaking her booty all over town every night of the week screams insecurity and look at me. Overall, they had a tremendous amount of chemistry but they both love the limelight too much. There can only be one star shining in Britney's life...and that's her.

His Moon in Leo will give him a period of depression that will fade in and out over the next year. Of course this is understandable, since divorce is never easy and I do feel he really loved Britney. On Britney's side, I am not so sure. I expect more trials and tribulation between Britney and Kevin and when all is said and done in the media, he will come out ahead. I think they will both end up sharing joint custody of their children and eventually become solid friends over the years.

I expect us to see more of Kevin in his acting and modeling career. He has been signed to model for the Five Star Vintage line by the San Francisco-based Blue Marlin clothing company. His initial series of ads ran in August 2006, and was subsequently extended for Holiday 2006. The line he modeled for the Fall 2006 has been the top selling line in Macy's, Kitson in Los Angeles and Lord & Taylor.

Most recently he has appeared on an episode of CSI and you can find him WWE RAW perfectly cast as one of the bad guys. I don't expect his music career to go anywhere but you can definitely expect an autobiography of his life to hit the books in 2008.

In the area of love, I think Shar Jackson and him will reunite as a couple briefly. As a Virgo, she will be a shoulder for him to lean on. I think their love relationship will be on and off for the rest of his life. Eventually I see him settling down with someone older than him and trying to make a star for himself on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

DARE TO DREAM: Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson was born on September 12, 1981 in Chicago, Illinois. Her rocket to fame first began as one of the finalists on the third season of the television series American Idol. Although she did not win the competition, she did win the heart of Americans across the country.  Prior to American Idol, Hudson had worked as a singer and actor aboard cruise ships, but never had any formal musical training.

Hudson has Sun in Virgo, an Aries Rising, and Moon in Pisces in the Twelfth House. Her hard working, independent, and sweet spirit shines when she is on stage. Her intuitive nature allows her to feel her audience and give a performance that touches others on a very deep emotional level.

Her Seventh House is loaded with Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn in Libra giving her a grand stellium. This means that not only is she loaded with talent, charm, and beauty...she will shine best when working as a group in a partnership. On a romantic note, she will end up marrying a man who is older than her and most likely in the entertainment industry. I expect that will take place within the next three years.

In November 2005, Hudson was cast in the prized role of Effie White in the film adaptation of Dreamgirls. Hudson had to gain a total of 20 pounds in order to play the role.[1] She beat out hundreds of professional singers and actresses for the role. Filming of Dreamgirls began on January 09, 2006, and the film went into limited release on December 15 and national release on December 25. Reviews of the film acclaimed Hudson's performance, and she has been lauded as the frontrunner for this year's Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and she was recently nominated for a Golden Globe.

My prediction is that she will win one of the awards, but not both. I am leaning towards a Golden Globe, but she definitely deserves either one. Hudson can expect to enjoy a long and rewarding career in the entertainment industry. Also, I predict she will win a Grammy for her new album that has yet to be released.

THE NEXT PRESIDENT? Barack Obama

As the New Year begins to heat up, the news media has been speculating on who will be running for the Democratic nomination. News magazines predict a showdown between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

Pluto’s entry into Capricorn in 2007 will signal a continuation of the moderate, “just get things done” political trend we saw in the recent midterm election. Moderation will be a key ingredient in any candidate’s winning strategy if he or she is to ride the new Capricorn wave.

Two astrological “big picture” factors will be important in the 2008 election. One is Pluto’s entry into Capricorn and the other is the Saturn-Uranus opposition (which will be exact on election day, 2008).

Barack Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii. His big smile, handsome face, and regal manner symbolizes a true Leo. With a Scorpio rising, there is an air of mystery about him and with his movie star looks he makes women swoon. His Moon in Taurus in the Seventh House, makes him strong in his convictions, very charming, and works well in partnerships. His Venus in Cancer makes him a true family man, a tad bit jealous and posessive of the ones he loves, and he easily attracts money from outside sources.

The Saturn-Uranus opposition will hit Obama’s Virgo Mars, so he is a candidate to watch. Barack Obama is in many ways a moderate, although one would not at first think so. For months, he withheld urging a U.S. pullback from Iraq. Joe Klein, writing in the recent Time cover story, opined, “He's a liberal, but not a screechy partisan. Indeed, he seems obsessively eager to find common ground with conservatives.” Neptune squares Obama’s Mercury and Sun, giving Neptune some power in his horoscope.

My prediction is he will win the Democratic nomination and the 2008 campaign will be one of the most exciting in Presidential history. Obama will have a "Kennedy" like affect on the nation and will push many to get out and vote. Whether he can win or not only time will tell. He is definitely one of the candidates to watch this year.

NICOLE RICHIE - A Classic Virgo?

My God I hope not! Nicole Richie is one of those girls who is famous for being famous. If it wasn't for her good buddy Paris, we might never have had front row seats to the unraveling of her life. Better yet would we even care?

I think she is incredibly beautiful, funny, and a super talented girl. Although, she is someone who likes to get her groove on just a little bit too much. Her Sun in Virgo represents who she is trying to be in this lifetime which is smart, independent, down to earth, practical, and a loyal and devoted friend. Add her Moon in Cancer, which gives her a supersensitive and sweet side. Unfortunately her Saturn in Libra squares her Moon which means an early rejection by Mom.

In love relationships, she has Venus in Scorpio and Mars in Leo. This makes her a very sensual woman, who is mysterious and possessive in relationships. With her Mars in Leo, she is attracted to dynamic extroverted men who add excitement to her life. Once again a slight problem, Venus square Mars makes her incredibly insecure in relationships. Also, with her Moon in Cancer can make her moodly as hell...can we say Drama Queen?

Right now Saturn in Leo is squaring her Venus and conjuncting her Mars. Any relationship she is involved in will be short lived and with Saturn sitting on her Mars, her energy level is at an all time low.

My prediction is for the next year she will continue to be in and out of relationships. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up in rehab for at least six months. In 2008, we will see a new more mature Nicole who will focus on settling down.

CELEB COUPLES - Madonna and Guy Ritchie

Madonna and Guy Ritchie 's love affair has been going strong for nearly a decade. It appears that they have hit a rough spot and are reportedly seeking marriage counseling. Rumors as to the cause of their marital problems have been swirling -- some say the publicity surrounding baby David's adoption (or Madge's desire to adopt another baby), caused the strain, while others point to Madonna's obsession with Kaballah. It is a combination of many reasons.

Every marriage no matter how strong will hit a few speed bumps along the way. From an Astrological perspective, all issues seem to point to Saturn. Madonna has Sun in Leo, Virgo Rising, and Moon in Virgo. Her hubby Guy is a Virgo, Moon in Taurus, Venus and Mercury in Libra. Saturn is transiting her Twelfth House which is her subconscious mind. Madonna basically is cleaning house and entering a period in her life where she is more mature, focused on her children, and giving back to the world. I would expect her to follow in the footsteps of Angelina Jolie in donating her time to charity.

Ritchie is coming into his own and will continue to focus on writing and directing. I see him entering the spotlight in late 2007 and Madonna will take a backseat. Right not he needs a tremendous amount of harmony and balance in his life. He is incredibly mellow, witty, charming, and a super funny guy. It may be that the extroverted and wild Madonna is what originally attracted him to the relationship. The older and wiser and Madonna may be a bit to serious for his taste. He can't handle her constant need to criticize.

Either way they both have an incredible emotional bond and a deep love for one another. If the couple is to split, my prediction is that it would happen when Madonna turns 50 and he turns 40. Both defining ages for men and women. I think if they stay together for the children they can weather the storm and be life partners.

BRITNEY SPEARS - I'm Not That Innocent

It would be quite an understatement to say that Britney Spears has turned heads, inspired many water cooler sessions, and kept bloggers like Perez Hilton and Popbytes adding comments until wee hours of the morning.

Any Astrology fan is probably asking themselves what sign is she and what the hell has she been thinking. Some Astrological Notes about Britney: If her birth time is to be believed, Britney has a charming Libra Ascendant with Mars in Virgo not far behind in the twelfth. Her Sun in Sagittarius conjuncts both Mercury and Uranus; her Moon is in Aquarius; and her Venus is in Capricorn, forming a square to both Saturn and Pluto and trining her 12th house Mars. What does this all mean?

A true Sagittariaun is a free spirit, open minded, fun, easily bored, and constantly on the move. Her Libra Ascendant gives her a sweet charm and when necessary she can behave appropriately...for the moment. Her Moon in Aquarius and Venus in Capricorn makes her emotionally cool and extremely independent. You need to get inside her mind to really keep her interest. The Capricorn side makes her super sexy and lusty little girl. She is attracted to men who are smart, witty, a bit of a bad boy, sarcastic, and has a sense of mystery to him. Who she is best suited for is a practical, down to earth, business kinda guy, and I think by the time she is 29 she will remarry a man older than her that can provide her support and guidance in her career and life.

What can we see from Britney in 2007? As the Superstar and singer that she is we will see her try to produce a new album, without much success, and a girl who DOES NOT GIVE A DAMN about what others think. She will show that she is her own woman. Behind closed doors? Emotionally she will feel shut down and will unplug from any real love connection. Lots of affairs but nothing serious. When she hits 27 or 28 she will settle down with that older man who will eventually become her life partner.

Be prepared for some really big surprises from Britney this year on a personal level. She definitely will give Madonna a run for her money in the shock factor arena.
