ASTROCHICK

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.

LOVEMATCH: Faith Hill and Tim McGraw

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are one of my favorite country western couples. When I look at these two lovebirds it seems like a match made in heaven. What makes these two country cuties such a great couple? Well, lets find out. 

Because Tim’s  Venus makes a tense 90-degree angle to Faith’s intense Pluto and Uranus in Virgo, powerful feelings were likely aroused when they first met; they probably felt an irresistibly, almost fated attraction and a passionate chemistry at work. Tim undoubtedly finds Faith to be charismatic (Uranus) and hypnotically alluring (Pluto). Yet her Pluto-Uranus combination is known for its willful independence (Pluto is linked to will, and Uranus to rebellion). Tim better not try to possess her or make heavy demands, since she can rebel and turn unexpectedly defiant when dominated by others.

Tim’s chart suggests that he derives vital energy from a balanced marital relationship, although with his sometimes stubborn Taurus side, he may need to be more mindful of the spirit of give-and-take required of all fruitful partnerships. It helps that Faith can be quite persuasive, in a sweet yet logical way, when she really wants him to do something.

Their compared charts show that they exchange their thoughts energetically and would rather get things off their chests quickly than let tensions build. They engage in direct, honest communication, although Tim may react defensively  should Faith sound critical and too nitpicky (as Virgos often do). Still, Faith has a generous spirit when it comes to love, shown by her warm Venus-Jupiter conj. in loyal Leo. Both Leo and Jupiter can be very giving. She can spoil her man, but her Venus in regal Leo also needs respect and first-class treatment in return.

Astrologically, Faith and Tim are classically well matched. Virgo and Taurus share common, down-to-earth values. They seek stability through the careful building of material structures. Each sign reinforces a sense of responsibility and commitment in the other. This couple’s Venus (relationships) signs are also compatible: his sociable Venus in Gemini, an air sign, enjoys her showy Venus in Leo, a fire sign. Air and fire signs often relate well to one another. Partners with such a pattern really "like," not just love, each other and are easily affectionate.

GENERAL FORECAST - March 31, 2006 - April 6, 2006

A few deep breaths may help whatever follows from the total solar eclipse on Wednesday go down a little easier. Same goes for the tricks pulled on April Fools’ Day. Daylight-saving begins on Sunday, the 2nd, which may take some getting used to. Let’s hope Saturn coming out of retrograde on the 5th while Venus descends from airy Aquarius into Pisces, the emotional water sign in which the goddess is exalted, won’t make waves. However, be aware that we’re approaching an ominous conflict between militant Mars in Gemini and subversive Pluto in Sagittarius on the 8th. Take care.

AMERICAN IDOL - Astrological Predictions

Yesterday was a solar eclipse and Lisa Tucker was sent packing from “American Idol” on Wednesday night, a move many television viewers understood. Some fans also venture that Ace Young would not have made it this far without his looks. Personally, I find him to be a bit on the Velveeta cheese side. Not the most sincere singer. I initially thought he was hot but after last nights hysterical performance...I am soooooooo over him.

I decided to check out the astrological charts of a few of my favorite American Idols. Taylor Hicks who is an Aquarius born on January 24, 1977, Bucky Covington who is a Scorpio born on November 8th, 1977, and  Kellie Pickler who is on the cusp of Aries/Taurus born on April 20, 1986.

What I found interesting is that both Taylor and Bucky are in their Saturn returns. When Saturn returns, it has a few questions to ask: Who are you? and Where are you going? These are simple questions but the truth is, at 29 you are beginning to wonder about the answers to these questions yourself. This is because your "real life" is just about the begin!

Yes, it's true. Up until the age of 29 we are living out our "past lives". By the way, if you don't have an experience of having lived before (reincarnation or past lives), then please consider this a metaphor. It works just as well. Don't let terminology get in the way of the point I'm making because it will help you so much to understand this.

Although Taylor is an Aquarius which makes him incredibly unique, he has several planets in Pisces. This makes him deeply sensitive, psychic, and gives him the ability to really touch fans in America on a deep level. Taylor is a very old soul. I think he will make it to the top 2.

Bucky is a Scorpio which gives him that sexy vibe but has a Libra twist with his Moon and Venus in Libra. That dude is a total charmer and ladies man. I think his marriage might be on shaky ground over the next year with Saturn knocking on his door. Also, I think he is going to go much farther in the competition than people anticipate. I think he will make it to the top 5.

Kellie is a sweet Taurus with that wholesome cutesy appeal. She has Moon in Leo which gives her that fun personality. She has Saturn going over her moon this year which tells me she will be experiencing some problems with her Father. Based on recent magazine articles her Dad is expected to be released from prison in the next year. I think this will have a depressing and negative effect on her emotional well being. I think Kellie will make the top 3.

I was unable to locate Chris Daughtery's birthdate but I believe he will make the top 3. My psychic prediction is Taylor Hicks will be crowned our next American Idol. For more information on other American Idols, check out www.idolonfox.com.

STARSTRUCK: John and Yoko

I am always fascinated by what brings two couples together. Astrology plays a big part in bringing lovers together and just as quickly breaking them apart. Some couples have a karmic tie where both individuals have been brought together to complete a cycle.

One of my favorite Astrological "Star Struck" profiles is John Lennon and Yoko Ono from Astrology.com.

Yoko Ono's Sun in Aquarius and John Lennon's Sun in Libra:

Both of them are very social, active people. They are involved in community groups and their line of work probably brings them into contact with lots of people. They harmonize well with each other and are great friends.

Yoko Ono is very attached to clubs, social groups and colleagues. John Lennon may feel that Yoko Ono needs friends more than a marriage partner or lover. In fact, John Lennon devotes much more attention to any close partnership. This difference in orientation is fairly subtle, however, and may not be a source of difficulty or conflict. They both tend to live in their minds, and they enjoy a partner who is awake and alive mentally -- an intellectual peer. Fortunately, they have this in one another.

Yoko Ono's Moon in Sagittarius and John Lennon's Moon in Capricorn:

Their emotional needs and deeply ingrained attitudes toward life are somewhat at odds with each other. John Lennon is a sober realist who tends towards cynicism and pessimism at times. John Lennon's security lies in work, accomplishment and having a solid material foundation. Feelings of self-doubt often limit what John Lennon is willing to aim for. Fears of poverty or financial ruin may drive John Lennon to work excessively. Highly responsible and conscientious, John Lennon tends to take life too seriously and puts business or duty before pleasure.

MONDAY MORNING BANG

Well Mercury finally went direct on March 24th. Boy, I am glad that is over. If any of you have felt a bit out of whack, misunderstood, experienced delays...blame it on Mercury Retrograde.

If you are curious on what to expect this week Astrologically, I have posted Haley Cook's blog column located at cometeer.friendsation.com. Haley is a fabulous Psychic and Astrologer located in Hollywood.

Haley Cook

 Well if you wake up Monday morning with a bang, blame it on Uranus who always gives the
impression that something is about to happen but doesn't tell you until the very last minute. However, a Monday morning jump start can definitely be appreciated since the moon is in dreamy Pisces the rest of the day. Be the busy, buzzing bee and get all the absolutely necessary work out of the way and then take time to love the one you're with, daydream about the one you want or reminisce...about last nights romance thanks to yesterday's hook-up between Venus and Mars. Tuesday should shove you into high gear as the moon moves into Aries. Yesterday it was all about him/her but Tuesday's all about ME! Wednesday is the Solar Eclipse which is a follow-up to the lunar eclipse which took place in Virgo two weeks ago (eclipses always come in pairs) which probably made us all a little more pragmatic in relationships....and who knows what else it did! You tell me. This one will push you to plant new seeds of personal ambition or harvest those planted way back in 1997! Plus Pluto will push backwards, shifting into a long retrograde in Sagittarius same day. Archers and others - who have been going through deep, dark transformations lately are not done yet! Secrets and riches can be revealed and found under a Pluto retrograde and plans can be laid for any mission involving the transformation of the world! It's a big order, but Pluto never settles, just make sure someones got your back! And since the moon moves into Taurus Thursday afternoon, we won't have to worry about making any hasty moves. The moon in Taurus loves a hot bath...and this is not necessarily "alone" time if you know what I mean. The touchy-feely Taurus moon gives way to Gemini The Trickster just in tome for April Fool's Day! Ha ha! I'm not telling you the rest, except to say that if there are any ripples in relations due to tricks played

( I like the saran-wrap over the toilet seat trick ) the making up should be more than compensatory come Sunday. No pun intended.

ASTROLOVE PROFILE: Brad and Angelina

Astrology influences celebrities just as much as the rest of us. What about couples? Absolutely! Each week I will feature a brief summary of various celeb connections and my prediction on how long this love match will last.

Brad and Angelina

These two lovebirds have one of the most significant interactions of all. This is because the will and ego of one of them finds its mirror or shadow in the manner and presentation of the other person --and vice versa. Essentially, Brad and Angelina is the other's ' other half'. The classic example of SOULMATES. Depending on Brad or Angelina's espective level of self-awareness, they reflect back a part of themselves to one another: their personal shadows.
