Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (December 29 2012) Brandy & Ryan Press

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (December 29, 2012)
Brandy & Ryan Press

This couple recently announced their official engagement, although they've been said to have been dating for a couple of years.

RnB singer and actress Brandy Rayana Norwood celebrates her birthday on February 11 (same as me!) as an Aquarius. I don't know the exact birthdate for Ryan Press, her Philadelphia music executive fiance, but he claims online to be a Sagittarius.

The Water Bearer and the Archer make a good match on the face of it. They're both brainy and share a wild sense of humour as well as an unconventional approach to life. They're both positive, upbeat signs who will have a lot of fun together and be good friends along with romantic partners. They'll be able to talk for hours and hours on just about any subject and enjoy a spontaneous lifestyle - including an adventurous take on bedroom sports.

The fly in the ointment may come in the emotional sphere. Aquarius can be several degrees cooler than the Archer, who's very sentimental at heart. Aquarians often don't need much in the way of outside encouragement - ultimately loners, they've learned to rely on their own counsel. The problem comes when they don't recognize that others aren't so flinty and self sufficient and may actually need and value their encouragement and support once in a while. An Aquarian's spouse has to have a certain amount of patience and be certain of their love even during those times all their other interests and friends and ventures take them away for a while.

On the other hand, the Water Bearer will also have to be patient with Sag's tendency to forget the details (something an Aquarian will never do), lateness, sloppy living habits and other assorted behaviours.

With the right perspective, though, all that can be minor compared to what they will share. Provided the Water Bearer can curb her cooler impulses and remember that some people need to have their feelings taken into account, it can be a great match. She'll help to ground his more reckless, even careless edge and he will add fire to her solid thinking.

A note here to all my other February 11 sisters - there's Jen, Brandy and me - are you guys getting engaged too???

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (December 18 2012) Ice-T and Coco

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (December 18 2012)
Ice-T and Coco

This long time celebrity couple - they've been married since New Year's Eve 2001 when they tied the knot in Las Vegas - is in the news not only for their hit reality TV show Ice Loves Coco but also because of a recent spat that hit the social media fan just the other day.

Turns out Mrs. Marrow was partying it up in Las Vegas and posted pics of her 'canoodling' with rapper AP.9 on the internet. Ice-T felt disrespected and took to his Twitter account to say so, although the two have apparently made up and all pics and comments have been taken down.

Nicole Natalie Austin - aka Coco - was born on March 17, a Pisces and Tracy Marrow, also known as Ice-T, Ice, The Iceberg, Ice Ice Baby, Cold as Ice, Ice to See You, and Mr. AdvICE was born February 16 - an Aquarius. 

It's a popular combination of signs for good reason. These two signs respect each other and will find a lot of common ground for a solid friendship at the root of their romantic relationship. I'm not a fan of reality TV in general but I'm told that the show reveals that they seem to have a good and stable relationship overall, which would be entirely in keeping with that aspect.

Actress, dancer, glamour model and web personality, Coco has that typical Piscean lady's ultra-girly appeal down pat. The Water Bearer in the male version doesn't typically need to be ultra macho or come on strong to assert his masculinity, but they're not immune to that perennial male need either. A soft, sexy Pisces lady fits that bill to a T - she makes him feel like a man. In turn, he makes her laugh and supports anything she does without the kind of ego issues or power struggles you might find where there's higher octane testosterone, such as with a Leo or Taurus, let's say.

While it's generally a good match in most respects, the friction may come when super cool Aquarius doesn't give baby-girl Pisces the kind of emotional maintenance she needs. All Aquarians are independent and never have a problem with going it solo - they don't need anyone else's affirmations of who they are, so why do you? goes the logic. It has to be said that the male Water Bearer has a tendency to take his women for granted in that respect.

No matter what happened with them exactly, it is definitely nice to see a situation where I can use the phrases 'long term' and 'celebrity couple' in the same sentence.

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (December 11 2012) Taylor Swift and Harry Styles

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (December 11, 2012)
Taylor Swift and Harry Stylesfor now that is...

Miss Taylor Alison Swift is famous for her singing talent - and a song catalogue filled with odes to her exes. It's inevitable that I'd have to write about her sometime.

Taylor was born on December 13, a fiery Sagittarius. I've read that she says she doesn't know why her relationships haven't lasted... but it's very Archer of her to pick up right where she left off with the next cute guy who takes her fancy.

Harry Styles was born February 1, an Aquarius. The Water Bearer and the Archer are natural friends, both of them brainy and talented and always up for spontaneous fun. There is usually an immediate attraction, and a relationship will be an adventure for these two daredevil signs. They'll be friends as well as romantic partners and that can help to make things last maybe a little longer.

Despite the compatibility, there are potential trouble spots. Aquarius is cooler emotionally, especially the male variety. It's not uncommon for Aquarians to stay single - and wild - until they're in their 40's, which can make any long term relationships a long shot.

Still, it'll be fun while it lasts.

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (December 3 2012) Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (December 3, 2012)
Hugh Hefner and Crystal Harris

This age-diverse couple (and that's about as neutral a term as you can come up with, isn't it?) made headlines last year when Ms Harris cancelled the wedding a mere fives days before the date in June 2011. However, they are said to have reconciled earlier this year and are supposedly preparing for a New Year's Eve wedding.

Born in the United States on April 29 - a Taurus - Crystal Harris has made her career in the U.K. as glamour model, singer, and television personality. She was the Playboy Playmate of the Month in December 2009. Taurus is a very physical, earthy sign, a good match for Aries' youthful sexual energy. A Bull also respects elders and likes material comforts.

Hugh Marston Hefner was born April 9, an Aries. To be perfectly unironic, Aries is a youthful sign even without the Viagra. If there is a boy inside every man, in an Aries it's a wild boy, like one of the Lost Boys from Peter Pan. However they do slow down somewhat as they get older, putting that breakneck Aries pace more in tune with solid Taurus' more measured approach to life in general.

The tabloids say she wasn't crazy about all the other women hanging around all the time on a permanent basis; there will always be a straight-laced edge to Taurus no matter how hedonistic their lifestyle may appear. Conservativism can be relative. Aries isn't terribly emotional as a rule and that can be a downer for romantic to the bone Taurus.

She not only broke off their wedding on short notice but sold her $90K engagement ring at an auction at a big loss. But Hugh is apparently a forgiving man and is set to take the plunge again. Being quick to forgive is actually typical Aries behaviour. They blow hot and cold within seconds of each other; they fully understand that what is felt and said now doesn't necessarily apply in a second or two - at least, not where they are concerned. They're more than willing to extend that same consideration to others.

Best of luck to the said to be engaged couple!
