Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (September 9 2012) - Katy Perry and John Mayer

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (September 9, 2012) - Katy Perry and John Mayer

The pop music pairing of Katy Perry and John Mayer has been hot and heavy all summer but the tabloids have it that they've split - or nearly - and they were said to have a huge argument leaving the MTV VMA Awards just the other night.

Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson aka Katy Perry was born on October 25 which makes her a Scorpio. She has the classic dark colouring and magnetic good looks of a Scorpio lady. John Clayton Mayer will celebrate his birthday October 16 - only 9 days later but in many ways worlds (or planets!) apart. He's a Libra, the balancing act of the zodiac.

Balancing is what these two signs would have to do a lot of in a relationship. It probably helps that each was born in proximity to the other sign - i.e. he's a late Libra and she's an early Scorpio. It doesn't change the basic make up of the sign's character, but it can, for instance soften some of Scorpio's laser-like intensity and emotionality with a little of that Libra laissez-faire vibe. Or it can add a little more substance to Libra's often too-breezy approach to life. It may make for some common ground to meet in the middle.

That may be what brought them together. As signs of the zodiac, though, these two are anything but a natural match. The Scorpio woman is fully cognizant of her own fabulousness and expects her mate to be the same - preferably besotted. Libra, on the other hand, has a definitely wandering eye and lacks the kind of emotional intensity that Scorpio craves. It's not that Libra is really unemotional, it's just that he'll run away from it like a house on fire.

Scorpio is attracted to his sophistication and wit and Libra will love Scorpio's magnetic and passionate persona, but he turns his attention to many other things while she demands to be centre stage in his world. She may find his casual approach to absolutely everything downright insulting at times. They'll respect each other's talent and smarts but they're opposites at heart.

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (September 3 2012) - Wills, Kate and Dirty Harry Too

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (September 3 2012) - Wills, Kate and Dirty Harry Too

What with the Olympics in London and shenanigans in Las Vegas, the young royals have been in the spotlight all summer long.

The Duchess of Cambridge, the former Kate Middleton was born on January 9, making her a Capricorn. Her classy, stylish image that eschews miniskirts and aims for a timeless elegance is both entirely appropriate for her public role and the epitome of the female version of this sign.

The lady Capricorn is solid, dependable and great with money - but there's also a secret side to Capricorn only her husband will know about. Carefully controlled and conservative in her public life, her most intimate relationships will see the spice and fire that's hiding inside.

Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge was born on June 21, which makes him a cusp baby - born between Gemini and Cancer. As it happens, he was born in the evening, giving him the Cancerian bent for being responsible and family oriented rather than the TWin's penchant for flightiness. He is still likely to show the odd Gemini qualities- like enjoying the adventure of being an RAF pilot.

The Crab is a private person. He's emotional but will only show those to people he really trusts - that's where Kate comes in. She's just the right sort of person a Cancerian can depend on. Family is important to both. The Capricorn style of conservative outside, passionate in private meshes perfectly with the Cancerian approach to life. Both of them are duty oriented, so a life of public service comes naturally too.

Prince Harry of Wales - aka Dirty Prince Harry - who was born on September 15 - is a Virgo who certainly belies the stereotype of the finicky, fussy person who lacks self confidence. Anyone who's known a Virgo intimately, however, knows that doesn't tell the whole story. Virgo can certainly have a wild streak - remember, Charlie Sheen is a Virgo too - but no matter his partying, he'll always get his duties done.

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (August 25 2012) - Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (August 25, 2012) - Avril Lavigne and Chad Kroeger
It's not that often that I get to write about an all-Canadian celebrity couple. This past week, these two lovebirds have made their engagement public.

Avril Lavigne, with her birthday coming up on September 27, is a Libra, born close to the cusp of Virgo. Chad Kroeger (lead singer of Nickelback of course), born November 15, is a Scorpio. It's an interesting combination.

Certainly, these two signs have the makings of a great dirty weekend. Libra will love his attentions and sexual prowess (it's true) and her flirtatious, airy and not quite there Libra qualities will drive him insane with lust. Scorpio exudes machismo and he loves nothing better than chasing after a pretty lady who seems to be hovering just out of his reach. There's a great sexual potential, to say the least.

For a long term gig, it will help if there's an element to ground Libra's flirtatious nature - something a jealous Scorpio will never put up with in the long term, as much as he is attracted to it himself. In turn, Scorpio can open up Libra's Pandora's box of sexual fantasies with his uninhibited nature, a Scorpio perk she'll respond to just as enthusiastically as he hopes for.

The risk will be if Libra is too impersonal, a common fault of Air Signs. Libras are friendly and sociable and typically make a great first impression. In the romantic sphere, that can lead to a way of leaving a messy trail of personal relationships behind them because they forget to end one before they begin the next. Libra often likes to keep their relationships at a fairly shallow stage while Scorpio wants to dive deeper and deeper; that's probably the major point of incompatibility in this pairing. However, Avril is said to have both the Moon and Venus in Scorpio, which could well be what makes her more inclined to be simpatico with this Scorpio native.

And with human beings there is always a wild card. Best case scenario: it could just be the kind of passionate rollercoaster Libra and Scorpio can thrive on. She'll warm to his sexual heat and he'll love her stylish version of femininity in an opposites attract kind of way that could keep this passion burning for a long time.

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (August 19 2012) - Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (August 19, 2012) - Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux

I don't think there's any escaping it - all celebrity stories eventually lead to Jennifer Aniston. As it happens, I have a soft spot for Jen since I share the same birthday with my Aquarius sister, being February 11.

It makes her a late Aquarian, which may be playing a role in this match up. Late Aquarians are often a little softer and more sentimental than the classic cool headed January Aquarian. Little things can swing either way in this union of opposites in the zodiac.

Justin, who just celebrated his birthday August 10, is a Leo; in fact he is said to have proposed at his own birthday party - which is just the sort of grand gesture you might expect from a Lion.

Independent, intellectual Aquarius - the ultimate loner out of the twelve signs of the zodiac - isn't really a natural match for the super sociable Sun King. A meeting of these two signs is usually a hit or miss situation. Aquarius will either find Leo insufferably full of himself and way too high maintenance - or fall hook, line and sinker for his sunny, warm personality. I think we know which way this partnership has gone (so far!)

At the extreme end of either Aquarius (too unemotional, too freedom-loving, too skeptical of people in general) or Leo (attention seeking, a big ego that's too easily bruised, chronic womanizing to feed that big ego) it's a pairing of oil and water. But let them meet somewhere in the middle and Leo brightens up Aquarius' often solitary world while the Water Bearer adds a grounded note to the Lion King's high flying fantasies. Both have a sense of humour and fun and they can both spend money like water.

They'll respect each other's intelligence, which bodes well, and while Leo loves the spotlight, Aquarius prefers to pull their own moves from somewhere behind the scenes, which makes them compatible. No competition for centre stage there; not that this Aquarius ever needs to worry about being out of the ring, but you don't want to get into a battle of look-at-me with a Leo, for sure.

The one thing an Aquarius/Leo relationship is always likely to have is a sexual chemistry that's off the charts. They'll find it easy to make each other happy, even deliriously so, and that warm energy will be the glue to keeping a relationship alive. In fact, if these two signs begin as a one-night stand, it can be quite some time before either of them stops to wonder about whether they're really compatible out of bed.

Best of luck February 11 sister! The planets would say it's no coincidence that I'm sizing rings too as we speak...

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (August 12 2012) - Rihanna & Chris Brown

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (August 12, 2012)
Rihanna and Chris Brown

Rihanna made headlines this week by talking about an "old" story about her turbulent romance with Chris Brown on Oprah's show. It's probably not a coincidence that Pisces and Taurus keep grabbing the celebrity headlines this summer and coming up in the weekly celebrity astrology story. This time, they show up together in this former and - if any of the rumours are true - still occasional coupling.

Robyn Rihanna Fenty was born February 20 as a Pisces and she seems to be one of the slippery variety of Fish sisters. Pisces is an emotional sign and will either be overtly sentimental or shy away from emotions in general and real commitments in particular. It seems easier to enjoy the company of the many men who are attracted to these beautiful women. The fact they exude the kind of girly appeal that we associate with traditional versions of femininity doesn't hurt. Still, swimming away from your emotions seldom works 100%, and her tears during the Oprah interview are evidence of that.

Chris Brown was born May 5 -  a Taurus. Taurus is also an emotional sign, but in him any idea of superficiality or shying away from those emotions is just about impossible. He's a true romantic, but the truth of it is that he's also a bit of a caveman at heart - and sometimes more than a bit! While he's popular with the ladies, he's also what previous generations called a 'man's man'. Every sign has both positive and negative possibilities and juggling the hand that's been given to you is your's life's work in a nutshell. For the male Taurus, the big question is, what does he do with that ultra-male part of him - and for our purposes, how does he handle his relationships with women?

In its most positive expression, that macho, semi-caveman Taurus becomes the chivalrous lover, his masculine instincts channeled into behaviour that's protective and solicitous - the kind of guy who will always open doors and carry heavy bags for his lady love even as he deeply respects her. With negative influences, be they in his chart or in his environment, Taurus can be outright domineering and something of a bully.

Rihanna is the epitome of that sexy Piscean ultra-woman; Taurus is all boy and has few defenses against her kind of appeal. It's a very natural sexual pairing of ultra-feminine and ultra-masculine vibes so it's not hard to see why the rumours continue to linger on about this once upon a time couple, or why she'd consider working with him even after his assault. She knows his temper, but she also knows there's more to him than that. Hopefully, he's learning how to direct that male aggression of his to productive and positive uses.

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (August 4 2012): Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week:
Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake

This week's celebrity couple astrology story is about Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, with reports that they'll be tying the knot later this month.

Jessica's a Pisces (March 3) and Justin is an Aquarius (January 31), which can be a great combination that's based on true friendship along with mutual attraction of a fleshier kind.

Pisces ladies are often among the zodiac's most beautiful (no surprise there!) with a lovely and ultra-feminine appeal. They're also quite emotional, although Pisces will often hide that with a surface persona that can seem like the opposite - emotionally distant. They're quite aware of the depths of their feelings and will seek a little distance to protect themselves from hurt.

This puts them in a vulnerable position with an Aquarius - the zodiac's ultimate lone wolf, especially in the male version. I think the course of their romance, including break ups and reunions, points to the truth of that. Freedom loving Aquarius men won't hesitate to go their own way if a relationship proves too binding; the surest way to get rid of one (if you should find yourself in that position) is by getting clingy and making emotional demands.

You really need to have patience with these guys and a relationship with them will often have those hot again/cold again ups and downs. If you can play it cool and you're prepared to leave it on the backburner if need be, then he may just show up again when he's decided he's had enough of being alone.

What to watch out for? The celebrity gossip mills have always been full of stories about Justin's partying with the ladies when Jessica's not around, and that's very typical Aquarian behaviour too. He'll be the perfect boyfriend when you're together - but just watch what he does when you're not.

The good news is that once this elusive Air sign has made a real committment, he does it wholeheartedly and long and faithfully monogamous relationships can be the result.

Will he be the good Aquarius - like Paul Newman and his legendary love affair with wife Joanne Woodward - or the flighty and untrustworthy guy who'll break Jessica's heart? Only time - and other influences in their charts - will tell that tale.

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week (July 28 2012): Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson

The first of what I'm going to make a weekly feature:

Celebrity Astrology Story of the Week
July 28, 2012: Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson

Surely the saddest celebrity story of the week is that of Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. Caught canoodling very publicly with her Snow White and the Hunstman director, 41-year old married father of two Rupert Sanders, just last week in photographs seen around the world, Kristen has since made an equally public apology.

She seems to be paying a heavy price for the indiscretion and Robert has moved out of the home they shared.The pair have been an item since falling in love on the set of the very first Twilight movie.

A source told People: "I'm not sure they'll be able to recover from this. Robert is heartbroken and angry.”

What prognosis can we find in astrology?

Robert, who turned 26 on May 13, is a Taurus. They're probably the most genuinely romantic men in the zodiac - when they fall in love, they fall hard and they fall deeply. He'll be steady in his affections; maybe too steady. Sometimes, their partners can tend to take that rock of Gibraltar quality for granted.

That's a mistake, though, because he'll believe in his love interest until she lets him down... then, all bets are off. If a Taurus is deeply wounded, as he can't help but be in this kind of situation, the break is usually final. And it wounds him not only in a romantic sense but also attacks his sense of male pride; the Bull's emotions are very strong and tied very closely to his whole sense of self. Add to that he's got a volcanic temper once he's been roused. He may, in the end, decide to stay around for a while just because of the memory of what was once so perfect, but he'll never truly forgive and forget. If they got back together, the next news would likely be him straying in public.

Kristen is an Aries (April 9) - lady-like on the outside, a strong, free-spirited and sometimes restless soul on the inside. Aries has a propensity to stray just because they're spontaneous and always open to adventure; Kristen's forthright way of handling it with a public apology is also something you'd expect from a Ram. They may make mistakes, but they'll own up to them.

As to the future - Taurus and Aries is one of those genuinely sexy matches (it's Venus and Mars after all!) that probably doesn't work out in the long term. Time will tell if there are any other aspects to their astrological charts that make a difference one way or the other.

P.S. Rupert Sanders (March 16) is a Pisces, an attractive and charming sign who lives in his imagination and is very susceptible to the appeal of beauty.
