SJP Turns 45 This Week with Plenty of Aries Sparkle!

If you like Aries Sarah Jessica Parker (March 25, 1965) you’re about to get a whole lot more of her thanks to the Sex and the City 2 promotional blitz tour. If you’re not a fan, there is not much you can do to escape her. The actress has a particularly strong chart and she’s not going anywhere. The mega-famous Ram has plenty of Aries planets in her chart to compliment her Sun; she boasts Mercury and Venus in her birth sign. The star is a driven businesswoman who’s energized by those with sense of humor and confidence. She’s constantly thinking of ideas, business concepts, and other innovative ventures. In recent years, she has become a President of Halston, a noted producer, and successful fashion entrepreneur thanks to the sales of her perfume and clothing brands. Her Moon in Capricorn is actually a little conservative and prudish at times. Parker has very many old-fashion beliefs: she won’t wear revealing clothes, ever do nudity on screen, or curse in public. Her Mars in Virgo very much compliments her far-working persona. Parker believes in working extra hours and once said that she has phobia of being destitute, therefore saving is always on her priority list. Fortunately for her, she’s way her worst fear thanks to her fierce drive.

It’s the Age of the Pisces Teen Idol!

So what do pre-teens and teens spend money on these days? When it comes to iTunes, Ke$ha and Justin Bieber are the first two names that come to mind. And it’s just so happens that the two current untouchable teen dreams share the same Pisces birthday. Ke$ha (whose real name is Kesha Rose Sebert) was born March 1, 1987, and Justin Bieber was born exactly seven years later on March 1, 1994. Both are comfortably dominating the prepubescent airwaves with catchy tunes, distinct looks, and seemingly good intentions. Though historically, Pisces has not been a sign that tends to produce an internationally renowned pop stars. But these two also have a confident and attention-loving Moon in Aries in common, making their connection even more convincing.

Astro Oscar Preview: Best Actress

It’s time for big girls to take a spin on the Oscar carousel, and this ride will be a battle. Which actress will claw her way to the top?

Sandra Bullock (Leo) “The Blind Side”
Why she’ll triumph: Without a doubt, Leo Bullock earned her fur this year by becoming the most bankable actor of 2010 (male or female). She also won three major wards she was nominated for (including the SAG and the Golden Globe) thus becoming the most unlikely frontrunner of the year. This lioness is itching for her coronation.
Why she won’t: But can a so-so Southern accent and blonde bleach really win you an Oscar? Especially when Meryl Streep was denied for like a quarter of the century?

Helen Mirren (Leo) “The Last Station”
Why she’ll triumph: Lionesses like Mirren have won 5 out of 11 last times in this category. It’s a juicy, masterful, and a memorable role at Leo Tolstoy’s intriguing wife.
Why she won’t: Her last statue (won in 2007) is not rotting just yet. The academy already paid their Mirren dues.

Carey Mulligan (Gemini) “An Education”
Why she’ll triumph: The Academy loved the film and nominated it for Best Picture. Its breakout Gemini star gave a star making performance that drew comparisons with none other than Audrey Hepburn. Why not reward her early in what looks to be like a lengthy career?
Why she won’t: She did win a BAFTA, but was that just a British bluff? Mulligan turned off some voters by not being as appealing and bubbly as some expected her to be in real life. This is just not her time.

Gabourney Sidibe (Taurus) “ Precious”
Why she’ll triumph: Sidibe has the most demanding role in the lot and her illiterate character is virtually opposite of actresses’ real life charms. It was an impacting, deeply felt performance that might send shockwaves through the world on Oscar night.
Why she won’t: Taurus women haven’t won in the lead (as opposed to supporting) since 1974. Her competition is simply too stiff this year and Precious will undoubtedly be rewarded with Mo’Nique’s win.

Meryl Streep (Cancer) “Julie & Julia”
Why she’ll triumph: This poor woman got dressed up over and over since 1983 on Oscar night…only to lose 13 times. After winning a Globe and starring in two more hits this year, she’s way overdue. Her loss to Leo Bullock (who’s also favored to win a Razzie this year) might be too painful to bare. It’s easy, right? Oscar is hers.
Why she won’t: But Hollywood doesn’t often follow logic. It’s widely believed that this is Bullock’s year and Streep will just have to fake her applause on Sunday and hope that she competes with robots or five-year olds next year.

Astro Prediction: Bullock wins the gold in an appoprietly Leo gold dress, while Streep sucks up her pride and tells reporters that she’s “just thrilled for Sandra”.

Jemaine’s AstroStars Forecast: March 2010

Erratic conditions and changeable situations of the past five months finally come to end. Mars the planet of drive in backward motion was causing log jams, stalemates and general frustration. Finally from March 10 an unlocking of creative energy and anxieties are released. Projects get the green light and its smooth sailing all the way as we proceed to our goals at lightning speed. Self confidence that has been lacking of late returns giving us the impetuous to make some bold changes if necessary and to shake us out of the doldrums that we find ourselves in. Pisces is the last sign of the astrological year, so this is the month to get our act together, wrap things and set plans in motion. We set off a little unsure but as we move on we gain some ground and kick into high gear. March may start with a whimper but it certainly goes out with a bang!
