TROUBLE IN PARADISE THIS WEEKEND!!

O.K. fellows, I thought I'd better warn you! There are a couple of not-so-nice relationship-issues, which could manifest this weekend. Expect some drama. Freedom-loving, and commitment-phobic energy will be flying around like wasps, ready to sting, especially if you try to trap 'em!!

Here goes:-

Venus will be squaring Uranus. If you are in a rather shaky relationship to begin with, then it is very likely the 'freedom-lover' of the duo will be going for a long hike. "I'm outta here" may be heard in towns and villages all around the world...and cities too!!

Next, Mars will be squaring Uranus, so there will be a tendency for people prone to impulsivity, to really act impulsively this weekend - be warned!! With that mars squaring Uranus, there could be even violence! So if you are in a domestically violent situation currently, please be aware, and take precaution!! Do not stir the pot, and pick your arguments - wisely.

Lastly, and I'm not keeping the best for last. Pluto will be opposing Venus - ouchy ouchy!! Lots of drama, especially for Aries and Scorpio, who are directly ruled by Mars (Aries) Scorpio (Pluto).

Forewarned is half the battle!!

Get out and enjoy the sun, and don't plan on proposing this weekend! Keep things easy peasy!

Luv,

BRANGELINA ON MY MIND...

I should warn you - this blog is longer than my usual ones. Better put the kettle on! I don't usually elaborate on each person individually, but Angelina Jolie has one of the most incredible birth charts I have seen in a long time. As I studied her chart, my heart began pounding at the sheer craziness of it all. How could any person be so dang insane, and yet turn her life around to become the hugely successful woman she is today?  There was such an immense amount of conflicting energy going on within her. She has a stellium (4 planets) in Aries, the most macho sign of the zodiac, contrasting with her Ascendant and Venus in Cancer, the most feminine sign. Is she a veritable Lolita, or a kick ass Boudicca? The truth lies somewhere in the middle.

Brad Pitt's birth chart was interesting too, but not half as much as Angelina's. Without a doubt, he is the rock in this union. He does have one highly unusual thing going on in his chart, in that his Sun makes no aspects to any other planet, also known as an un-aspected Sun. People with this configuration tend to go it alone, do not rely on others, and value their space. He also has conflicting energy within. His Sun and Ascendant are both in freedom loving Sagittarius, but he also has four planets in the ultra-conservative, hard-working, and responsible sign of Capricorn. The way he has embraced fatherhood tells me the Capricorn side of his nature is at the helm of this union.

Angelina has both Sun and Mercury in the restless sign of Gemini. Gemini is the sign of the twins, and if ever a woman had two distinct sides to her nature, she is a perfect example. To add fuel to her already lively fire, she has a powerful Moon conjunct Mars in the macho sign of Aries, opposing Pluto, which might very well explain her fearless independent nature, and fondness for guns and knives. If that wasn't enough excitement, she has Venus in Cancer on her ascendant squaring Uranus--God help the men!--that's all I can say about that!! Not just the men, she was into women as well--not unusual for Gemini, a masculine dual sign. Boring she is not. The Venus square Uranus would indicate an attraction to unusual partners, willfulness, and a LOT of sexual experimentation.

Her interest in blood rituals may be understood by her Moon conjunct Mars in Aries (the sign of war) on her Saturn/Pluto midpoint. Early on in her life, she enjoyed cutting herself. She said that it made her feel alive (I could think of better ways). As a wedding present to her ex-husband, Billy Bob Thornton, she handwrote a message to him in her own blood with the words "To the end of Time". She had it framed, and placed above their wedding bed. She was so insanely in love with Billy Bob, she had herself admitted to a hospital for fear she would harm herself. I attribute that to all the warrior Aries stuff, conflicting with the already conflicting Venus square Uranus, and her moon opposing Pluto. Her emotions are all over the map.

As I absorbed all Angelina's astrological information, I couldn't help but think of another Gemini-- Marilyn Monroe. Both Angelina and Marilyn had troubled childhoods. Despite all her macho, independent ways, Angelina has experienced deep feelings of insecurity, and doubts about her abilities. She has Mercury retrograde, which makes her feel very misunderstood at times. In addition, she has her Moon square Saturn, indicating feelings of discontent and insecurity. Her natal Saturn in Cancer tells me she felt somewhat isolated within her family.

To add insult to injury, her moon opposes Pluto, so as a child and teenager, she would have experienced intense conflict between herself and a parent figure. I believe she had some issues with her father, which have been painfully resolved. They did not speak for years. This could have contributed to a love/hate element in her relationships with others. As a teenager, she had a morbid fascination with death, (could be attributed to her 3rd house Pluto) and entertained many a suicidal thought. Troubled-- that she was.

Then along came Brad...

Solid as a rock Brad, with his four personal planets, Mars, Mercury, Moon, and Venus all in the responsible, hard-working, and disciplined, sign of Capricorn. How on earth could he tame Angelina? For starters, he is good-looking--that helps!! And he is older--that helps too. But the real attraction comes from his Sun and Ascendant, both in the ultra charming sign of Sagittarius, which is polar opposite to her Sun in Gemini. They are polar opposites in almost every single way. All his planets in Capricorn oppose all her planets in Aries, their Sun oppose each other, his moon in Capricorn squares her moon in Aries. Her Ascendant and Venus in Cancer oppose all his Capricorn planets. They say opposites attract, and yes, there is massive sexual chemistry going on. However!!--theirs is a relationship that will require a huge deal of effort, and communication, if their love is to stand the test of time.

Angelina has no earth in her chart, so clearly well-earthed Brad grounds her, and gives her the sense of security which she lacks. Because of his Mars squaring her Moon, he will need to hold back when an argument is looming, to avoid angry outbursts. I think a big plus for their union is the fact Brad's natal Jupiter conjuncts Angelina's Moon/Mars/Jupiter/MC stellium. The generosity and benevolence he extends to Angelina re-enforces her feeling of inner security, and encourages her boldness, as far as her public image and career are concerned. So yes, take a bow, Brad!

Even though their conjugal relationship, from an astrological viewpoint, only scores 49%, there is still good reason they will survive, provided they both put in the mammoth effort required, and respect each other's differences. They are both dedicated to their children, and share a commitment to improving the world. It will take a lot to shake off Brad. He is in it for the long haul. Were it not for the children, I'd watch Angelina!! She has a restless streak...I think she is married to her work now, which isn't a problem for Brad, who enjoys his own space, and would not be a demanding spouse. Just like Beyonce and Jay Z, money sure helps to honey out any bumps in the hive!!

Until the next one!

BEYONCE AND JAY Z...IS IT FOR REAL??

Mama Mia, this relationship is the beeeez knees! It works, and there sure is a lot of sizzling chemistry going down. I used to wonder to myself how a sensitive, private, Virgo gal (Beyonce) could be compatible with a fire engine Sagittarius (Jay Z), but let me tell you--there is more to their relationship than meets the eye!

Normally, I would not team a Virgo with a Sagittarius for everlasting love--more like friendship--but Beyonce is not a normal Virgo, and Jay Z is not a normal Sagittarius...goodeeee!! This means there is love potential here, and I want these darlings to stay together. There is nothing like money to honey out any bumps in the hive...and yes, with Jay Z's stinging tongue, it is best to keep on his sweet side!

Now down to their chemistry...

They aced it in the LOVE department! Jay Z's Mars in Aquarius is in perfect harmony with Beyonce's Venus in Libra. Her Mars in Leo is also great with his Sun in Sagittarius. Her Moon and rising sign in Scorpio snuggle up nicely with his Venus in Scorpio.

In addition, Beyonce has a stellium in Libra, the most charming sign in the zodiac. By stellium I mean 5 planets (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto) are all in Libra--that's an awful lot of charm to house under her modest Virgo sun, and helps offset some of the differences between their sun signs.

Interestingly, both Beyonce and Jay Z have a Moon conjunct Uranus aspect in their individual charts, which means they are both independent, resourceful, and need excitement in their lives. Yeps, there is no shortage of that!!

I could tell by Jay Z's smouldering gaze that he had some sexy Scorpio hiding inside of him. He has his Venus in Scorpio sextile Pluto, and conjunct Neptune which tells me he is a very intense and committed partner, and expects the same in return. In addition, he has his rising sign in Virgo, which is very compatible with Beyonce's sun in Virgo. It helps to soften his hard edges and ground him.

I mentioned Jay Z's stinging tongue earlier...he has Mercury square Pluto--Ouch!! Coupled with his Sag Sun, I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him!! When he is being sharp tongued, I hope Beyonce tells him to Buzz Off!

Jay Z's Sun opposing his Midheaven tells me family is very important to him. That's good, because it is also very important to Beyonce. In addition, he has his Venus conjunct Neptune, indicating a very private and romantic person. Communications between them flow nicely. His Mercury in Sagittarius has an ease of expression with her Mercury in Libra.

Is it any wonder Beyonce is the 'Queen Bee'?! She sure makes her Jay Z Buzzz. He just needs to keep his sharp little tongue singing, not stinging!

BOY GEORGE - IS IT A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN??

Like most women, George Clooney has always fascinated me. Why can't he settle down? Why is he such a serial heart-breaker? Will his current love-interest - Amal Alamuddin, the Lebanese-British born Barrister and Multi-lingual Oxford-educated Human Rights Lawyer finally seal the deal??
She has more letters after her name than George, and if that doesn't do it - what will??

George snobby?? Yeps. I've the scoop on this handsome heart-breaker. As a typical Taurus, George is into 'Investment pieces' and no, he does not like to be rushed (as if we couldn't guess!!). He does feel entitled to a 'good catch' and with his equally snobby and financially cautious Capricorn moon, he fears a potential 'ALIMOONEY' - get it?? So that might give us a clue as to why he is marriage-cautious. (this snobby side does frustrate his more earthy, bull side at times!!)

In his defense, he is quick to remind critics that Yes, he was married once, which is true. He was married for four years to Pisces Talia Balsam from '89-'93. He slithered out of the union saying "I wasn't very good at it". Liar. If George was just a normal guy working a normal 9-5 job, Talia would have been a perfect match for him. You see he has a Pisces rising sign, and Pisces and Taurus make charming bedfellows. But George is not a perfectly normal guy - enooo!

POWER is what turns George on. He can get the milk for free, so why buy the cow? Let us remind ourselves this boy is a Taurus - and a rather earthy one at that, and is into investment pieces, and not into Alimooney.

No, George is looking for more than marriage, he wants to be part of a power-couple now, and Amal perfectly fits the bill. He likes to dabble in International-relations stuff, and what better partner than Amal, who also looks great, and wears fabulous shoes by the way!

Is this a Looove-match? Astrologically speaking, I don't think so. It is more like a mutual-respect union. Amal is a double masculine sign (Sun Aquarius, Moon Sagittarius). Yes, she is highly intelligent, in a masculine, freedom-loving way. Will she be happy to make comfort- loving Taurus George a cosy hot-chocolate by the fire-side, with his furry slippers waiting for him? No.

This is a trade-off in the love department. As a romantic, I have one other concern for George and Amal. They are both fixed signs, which means stuff like compromise will be difficult for these two stubborn, and at times, opinionated, individuals.

Marriage is definitely on the cards for George. Based on his natal chart, Saturn in Scorpio is transiting his 8th house - serious 'make-it-or-break-it' stuff going on. He has a very strong urge to settle down. The 8th house is all about unions, and joint financial partnerships.

George, above all else, is a practical man. He can make this power union work - if he wants to. He is a grown up and realizes that he wants more than just loooove to seal the deal. I think he has done quite well for himself, and she is young enough to have babies, which George would love. There is great potential, for good, in this union...

Amen.
