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.

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.
