Libra Double Bubble!

This past year has brought us a brand new set of successful Astro twins, who don’t only share a birthday. They are both experiencing the most successful career streaks in their lives as well. Libras Frieda Pinto and Lindsey Vonn (both born on October 18, 1984) have not met each other, work in completely different industries, and yet both look like they’re destined for superstardom during the course of the next year. Pinto of course made her screen debut in Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire last year and then dazzled on the Academy Award red carpet in her John Galliano gown. Few weeks later, big guns started calling and the Indian standout quickly booked roles in two projects helmed by Woody Allen and Julian Schnabel. Meanwhile, Vonn has quickly become the most successful American woman skier in the World Cup history. She is the first Yankee to win back-to-back overall World Cup championships and she capped off an amazing season with two gold medals at the world championships. Blonde and photogenic, she’ll be one of the most prolific athletes during 2010 Winter Olympics. Ironically, Pinto’s two film projects will be released next year two, making the career path of both stars all that more parallel.

All About Pisces Eva

March is undeniably the month of three beautiful and spicy Pisces stars named Eva, who’re all ironically born in consecutive years and look incredible in scarlet dresses. They are: an ultimate supermodel Eva Herzigova (born March 10, 1973), a likable starlet Eva Mendes (born March 5, 1974), and the youngest housewife on the ABC block, Eva Longoria Parker (born March 15, 1975).

Simon The Libra Great

The 69th or so season of American Idol begun few weeks ago and the show tends to vary on season-by-season basis. Some runs feature better singers; some highlight strange guest judges, and some just fall flat for a lack of both. There’s of course one irreplaceable constant that pulls the mega-hit show together. Libra Simon Cowell (born on October 7, 1959) has become an irresistibly moody TV icon who made millions with his penchant for snarky remarks, perfectly timed eye rolls, and minimalist black t-shirts. And he’s an unlikely star.

He’s a Libra who really built mass appeal with his logical and tranquil approach to criticism. Cowell’s Mercury and Mars match his Sun Sign making him a very cautious but extremely intelligent character. He loves to listen to everyone’s opinion in the room and observe them closely before uttering his own prized prose. But once the famed judge does, he expects the world to stop revolving, though he’ll be fascinated and slightly amused with those who disagree with him. Cowell always seeks approval of others around him and is actually very conscious about his daily routine and appearance. Any insecurity that he has in his everyday life (and he has quite a lot) turns into a challenge. The Brit always seeks for a solution and improvement to anything.

Contrary to the obvious, Cowell is actually very polite and timid at heart. He’ll probably never return his plate at a restaurant and will frantically help a friend in need in the middle of the night. But the cameras and attention inspire him to turn on a devilish charmer personality that only escalates with the applause and approval of others. One thing is certain: the TV star is kind of celebrity that knows how to capitalize on personal success and invest in other ventures. He’ll never be going backwards even though his steps might be very cautious and calculated.

Our Collective Gift This Holiday Season: Capricorn Mars!

On December 28, shortly after you start returning all the unwanted reindeer sweaters and chocolate holiday mugs, Capricorn Mars will rule the sky taking over from often-inconsistent Sagittarius positioning. What can we all expect?

• Lots of financial tenacity. Right after we gave our credit card a good beating, Capricorn Mars encourages controlled, and almost obsessive money monitoring. Our saving accounts will become as important as our e-mail.
• Mars is a fiery planet; Capricorn is a very masterfully subdued sign by nature. This means that our dealings will be much more intellectual, rather than angry and passionate. It’s really all about wickedly intelligent discipline in the first weeks of the year.
• This is a great time to actually put thought in all our relationships. It’s a wonderful period to create potency, stability, and common goals with those you love.
• This is a perfect time to grab a marker and define your 2009 goals, as we usually tend to this time of the year. The difference is that Capricorn Mars might actually inspire miraculous follow through. Yes! You finally will push yourself to go to gym on Tuesdays and Thursdays. You really have no excuse come January.

Kanye’s Taurus Mercury Says the Darndest Things!

We love Kanye West and our admiration probably has a lot to do with his Taurus Mercury. West is not even a Bull (he’s a Gemini born on June 8, 1977) but his communication planet and larger chart is a Taurus paradise. And what exactly does this particular personality feature entail? Taurus Mercury is very deceiving. It’s a patient, concentrated form of expression that usually helps to nourish all forms of art like music, poetry and painting. But that’s just the beginning. When it gets irritated, few have mercy. When Taurus mercury creates a catchphrase few will forget it. And when Taurus Mercury will angrily confront an enemy…well, let’s just say it’s a treat. Keeping all of that in mind, here are Kanye’s sometimes brilliant, sometimes stubborn top quotables.

Kanye’s Greatest Taurus Mercury Hits!

Yo, anybody that’s not a fan; don’t come to my show. For what?! To ya’ll come to the show and give it a B+. What’s a B+ mean? I’m an extremist. It’s either pass or fail! A+ or F-! You know what, fuck you and the whole fucking staff!!! I know I shouldn’t dignify this with a comment, but the reviewer threw a jab at all the artists.

I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice.

Britney Spears over Rihanna? Are you serious? I mean fucking Jared Leto? He’s my boy but he shouldn’t have won over some of those other artists.

There’s certain things that black people are the best at and certain things that white people are the best at. Whatever we as black people are the best at, I’m a go get that. Like, on Christmas I don’t want any food that tastes white. And when I go to purchase a house, I don’t want my credit to look black.

This is the most offended I’ve ever been… this is the maddest I ever will be. I’m typing so fucking hard I might break my fucking Mac book Air!!!!!!!! Call me any name you want…. arrogant, conceited, narcissistic, racist, metro, fag whatever you can think of…. BUT NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL! NEVER SAY I DIDN’T GIVE MY ALL!

And Kanye is in the elite eloquent central. Here’s few other proud Taurus Mercury generals: George Clooney, Barbara Streisand, Johnny Depp, Alec Baldwin, Russell Crowe, Bono, Cher, Jack Nicholson, Donatella Versace, Jay Leno, George Lucas, Tina Fey, Naomi Campbell, and yes…Elizabeth Hasselbeck.

How many temper tantrums can you count after reading these names? Millions. Can we live without Taurus Mercury? Absolutely not.

Scorpio Mars Revealed!

This is a last week of 2008 in which Mars will be ruled by Scorpio. The reign ends on Sunday and everyone always seems to be confused by the whole notion of Mars being ruled by different signs and we’ll do our best to break it down. We’ve noticed that this positioning often dictates of how energized everyone is in terms of work, productivity, excitement, and overall motivation. And Scorpio Mars is special because this sign is partially ruled by the red planet (along with Pluto). Anyway, since we have seven scorching  days left  we wanted to educate you about this very interesting feature on any calendar or chart.

Top 5 Things You Should Know About Scorpio Mars!

• 1) This period inspires crazy nuclear amounts of energy from very driven people. For example, folks like Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jennifer Aniston who were born when Mars was in Scorpio, get ULTRA determined. We mean lack of sleep and abundance of meetings.

• 2) Scorpio Mars inspires momentous change. Things move quickly, there is no time for excuses, and all fear is forgotten. Last week’s elections are perfect example of super Scorpio event, during which human interactions can be changed forever in a matter of hours or days.

• 3) This alignment is all about dangerous, unavoidable intensity. People who have Scorpio Mars are often dragons in beetle’s skin. They like to observe, calculate, and control and then attack with fire and uncompromising ambition.

• 4) This period is perfect for ventures, entrepreneurial salvation, and competitive balance shifts. Individuals who love to fight and obsess over personal success wake up during this period.

• 5) Lovemaking or at least passionate desire for it is huge. Those with infidelity issues should put a strap on themselves until Sunday!
