Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (February 22 2013) Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (February 22 2013)
Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner

With the Oscars coming up and Argo a favourite for Best Picture, I thought I'd check out longtime celeb couple Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner.

Benjamin Géza Affleck-Boldt was born August 15 - a Leo. Jennifer Anne Garner celebrates her birthday on April 17 as an Aries. The union of the Lion and the Ram is a power couple extraordinaire.

Jennifer sounds like a typical Aries lady - girly on the outside, steel on the inside, with an athletic background as a dancer before she became an actress. She's the kind of lady who looks equally good in an evening gown as she does in sweats with a natural flair. Nothing artificial about your average Aries.

Leo is a mover and shaker and a natural leader. The Lion looks for substance in his mate and finds it in Aries. They're both Fire signs, so they'll be compatible in terms of energy levels and lifestyle choices. They're also hard workers.

This is a bold pairing - not for the fainthearted, but then no one has ever accused Leo or Aries of that. Leo can have a huge ego and a big personality but the Ram is more than strong enough to hold her own. The issues that might come up with Leo and Aries probably relate to their respective egos. Leo needs constant approval and Aries isn't the type to cater to anyone's vanity, but it's a pairing that works really well when they're balanced.They can bring out the best in each other.

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (February 13 2013) Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock

Kelly Clarkson and Brandon Blackstock

This cute couple recently announced their engagement - a union of music biz royalty. Brandon Blackstock is the son of Kelly's manager - who's married to none other than Reba McIntyre.

Brandon is said to have proposed on the day before his birthday of December 16. That makes him a Sagittarius - and someone whose romantic enthusiasm will often lead to big gestures like that. When the Archer is in love, there will be no doubt about it.

Apparently the couple met years ago and she's said in interviews that it was love at first sight although she had to wait a while before he was single and eligible. Kelly Brianne Clarkson's birthday is April 24, making her a Taurus. The Bull goes big or stays at home when it comes to making emotional investments and love at first sight is always an option as far as they're concerned. They're also typically patient and capable of playing the long game to get what they want somewhere down the road.

Now this mating of Fire (Sag) and Earth (Taurus) may not seem like such a good choice in some respects.

Sag likes to live in a whirlwind (and tends to create one no matter how much he may think he's trying not to) while a Taurus not only loves but needs a calm, clean and pleasant home base to function well. Luckily, they're rich enough to have servants to pick up after him.

Where they will mesh is emotionally. The Archer is a sentimental, impulsive guy who will be chivalrous and romantic in his dealings and Taurus needs emotional stability more than they need a partner who cleans up after themselves. Taurus will warm up to the Archer's soft heart like a moth is drawn to a flame.

They will protect each other's weak spots and be a real partnership, with a tight emotional closeness between them.

They'll also be good for each other - Sag can get sometimes staid Taurus to open up to adventure while Taurus will make sure the Archer's bills get paid on time

Good luck to the newly engaged!

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (February 5 2013) P!nk and Carey Hart

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (February 5 2013)
P!nk and Carey Hart

Pink (or P!nk) is gearing up for a tour and has just announced the release of a new single Just Give Me a Reason with Nate Reuss on March 17, 2013, the third to come from the CD The Truth About Love. She's making the headlines and that's how she and hubby Carey Hart ended up as this week's story.

Alecia Beth Moore was born on September 8 - a Virgo. Husband and retired freestyle motocross, motorcycle racer and current off-road truck racer Carey Jason Phillip Hart was born on July 17, making him a Cancer.

Virgo and Cancer are a natural pairing that works on many basic levels. They're both family and domestically oriented signs. They both value quality over a flash in the pan and can satisfy each other's needs. Cancer is a classic family man of the olde school variety and will always find a way to provide for his family materially. That satisfies Virgo's craving for financial security. Virgo is steady emotionally and that can satisfy Cancer's emotional insecurities - insecurities he keeps very well hidden.

Those emotions can also signal the weak spot in this pairing, however. He won't wear his heart on his sleeve but he is sentimental inside and has a need for emotional closeness. Virgo's blunt and pragmatic take on life can wound the Crab (intentionally or unintentionally) in ways Cancer will never show fully from the outside. Once Cancer feels under appreciated and unfulfilled emotionally, the Crab can lash out with a combustible anger.

How you handle the challenges are what brings the spice to any relationship.
