Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (April 14 2013) Jane Seymour and James Keach

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (April 14 2013)
Jane Seymour and James Keach

This longtime couple has just announced they're calling it quits after 20 years of marriage. Rumours are that James was a little too friendly with a mystery woman and Jane kicked him out of their Malibu home pronto.

Jane was born on February 15, an Aquarius, and soon to be ex-hubby James Keach on December 7 - a Sagittarius. This is typically a compatible pairing (and the marriage has lasted two decades, after all!)

They share a sense of adventure and a disdain for the conventional - the Archer and the Water Bearer will be great friends. The one sticking point will be that Aquarius is a good deal more hard headed and practical than ever boyish and exuberant Sagittarius. The Water Bearer is likely to feel like the (only) adult in this relationship and that tends to grate after a while.

The two share 17-year old twin sons Kristopher Steven and John Stacy Keach (she also has two other children from previous marriages and he has one other, having been married twice before himself). James was Jane's director on Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, the series she credits with saving her financially and mentally when her previous marriage was crumbling.

Aquarians are often serial monogamists. Don't forget - although she's been married four times, this one lasted 20 years and her third, to David Flynn, a full decade. (Two earlier marriages in her twenties were brief.)

Sometimes, we - and our relationships - are caught up in larger tides that run through the river of life. It's a year of make it or break it year for Aquarians, so it seems - especially but not limited to us ladies - with many tying the knot (Jennifer Aniston, Brandy, Justin Timberlake) and others ditching longstanding relationships (Ashton Kucher, Laura Dern - and now Jane Seymour).

It doesn't matter how old an Aquarians is, they're always ready for a fresh start if things get stale. Once an Aquarian has decided that a relationship isn't worth the trouble anymore, or has realized the other person involved just isn't on the same page, the break will be quick and clean. They very seldom look back.

Best of luck to them both!

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???
