Could you have ever imagined that hunky, gorgeous Brad Pitt would have 6 kids? OMG!! I have to admit that he does make some beautiful children with long time love, Angelina Jolie. I feel their daughter, Shiloh, is Hollywood's most beautiful baby. I'm looking forward to seeing their new twins, Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, who were born on July 12^th in Nice, France right before 10:00 p.m. local time.

Other than their individual beauty and sensuality, it got me thinking about what attracts Brad and Angelina to each other and more so, what is keeping them together. What I find interesting in their charts is that both Brad and Angelina have real issues with addictions and wanting more, more, and more. Addictions don't necessarily have to involve drugs or alcohol. For Angelina her addictions come in the form or power and control as her Moon, Mars and Jupiter are all in the controlling and "me oriented" sign of Aries. When this woman is on a mission she will get (or take) whatever she wants at any cost. Plus with her Venus in Cancer in conjunction to her ascendant, the world is automatically captivated (and intimidated) by her presence. Her sun sign is in Gemini which gives her an almost split personality coupled by her need to always be trying something new and challenging. To me it's only a matter of time before she decides that having all of these children or what I kindly refer to as her "third world baby land", is too much for her to be bothered with and she will be on to her new addiction and crazy thing to control.

Now as for Brad, he has a load of personal planets in the sign of Capricorn, which is actually in great conflict with Angelina's planets in Aries – we definitely know who rules the roost in their home – Angelina. By nature Brad is the type of guy who says yes to something without first realizing what he is getting into. Then all of a sudden his Capricorn comes into play and he dives right in making himself "Mr. Joe Responsible", however deep down inside a sense of gloom and doom hovers over head. His addiction to working hard at every thing he does and to define its financial and monetary value provides him with a sense of boundless energy to be the best at what he does whether its acting, fatherhood, advocacy or being the great provider he was born into this life to be.

So what's next for this ever intriguing Hollywood duo? Angelina has already stated that she is looking forward to giving birth to her 7^th child. I have a feeling that her plans will be interrupted by a health crisis that hits very close to home, whether that be someone within her immediate family to include herself or all of a sudden she dedicates her life to a new world (third world) cause. I wonder if this added responsibility will be too much for Brad to bear? Whatever Angelina and Brad may personally experience I wish them well and thank them in advance to bringing more attention to yet another much needed cause.

Live well and love always,

With the film version of Sex and the City hitting theaters this summer (2008), it got me thinking about shoes. Why is it that some women are obsessed with owning the latest designer labels, while many of us just want to keep our feet protected from the elements? As an astrologer it's innate in me to question why a person does what they do. When it comes to the art of shoe wearing, my logic tells me it's more about our how we feel about shoes than how we think about them. I feel wearing the right shoe is more about our moon sign then our sun sign. Case in point, I am a Libra with a Leo rising, with this combination I should own a thousand pair of designer shoes. However, with my Virgo moon, to me, when I shop for a pair of shoes, it's all about being practical. I don't need a closet full of shoes that is going to give me more to clean up around. Below is a guide to what your moon sign reveals about your shoe fetish.

Aries: Since the sign of Aries is known for their "me first" attitude, these folks want to be the first in line when the new Manolo Blahnik's hit the shelves. They may not camp out in front of the store for days, but they would hire someone to do so.

Taurus: They want the very best of everything and are willing to spend a fortune showing off their latest design. Not only are they looking to add to their mounted number of possessions, the endless pairs of shoes they purchase must add to their feeling of material comfort.

Gemini: These moon babies will buy a pair of shoes that are funky and hip just to get people talking about them. They'll do anything to start a conversation.

Cancer: Since these people love the beach and walking in the sand, you'll find their closet loaded with flip flops in the every style and color.

Leo: Leo moons want to show off their newest purchase and will not be caught dead wearing the same pair of shoes twice. For them every new outfit must include its own pair of shoes.

Virgo: Practical, practical, practical. A Virgo moon person will always question whether or not they really need that new pair of shoes. They will own and wear the same pair of comfortable shoes for years as long as they remain in perfect condition.

Libra: They want to feel pretty and sexy all of the time and will often be seen wearing four inch stilettos even at the grocery store. 

Scorpio: This moon sign probably doesn't think much about shoes until they have to make some kind of impact. Whether they are attending the holiday office party or a loved one's funeral, picking out the right shoe to make a statement is essential.

Sagittarius: 'Shop until you drop" is their motto when it comes to shoes. Their closets are filled with hundreds of shoes, many of which they've never worn. It's the fun of knowing they own all of the shoes and bragging to the world about them is why they have such an extensive shoe collection.

Capricorn: Shoes, who needs shoes? But if I have to wear them, they better be not cost a lot and they must be comfortable as I go off to work, work, work.

Aquarius: These people were probably the first in line to purchase Air Jordan's. It not so much about needing to have the best of everything, but more about showing off the latest technology that will enhance their ability to run, jump and climb.

Pisces: These people go all out for comfort when deciding on a new pair of shoes. Since Pisces rules the feet, it's only natural for them to think about how their feet will feel and how they can be protected against damage caused by wearing the wrong shoe.

What’s the secret to a long and happy marriage? We can look to the sky for a clue. As an astrologer one of the biggest questions I get is "when will I find the right person and how do I know if he/she is right for me?" Most people just look at their sun sign and wonder if they can be compatible with another person. Unfortunately or hopefully - luckily, there’s more to finding a successful, lasting relationship than just knowing a person’s sun sign.

When I do relationship readings for couples I compare several planets in a person’s chart and how they interact. I am big on a person’s sun and moon sign comparison and what houses they fall into in the others person’s chart. The moon represents our emotions and how we feel about things plus it’s a very karmic point. If your moon sign falls in your partners’ 12^th house and/or is near their ascendant that typically tells me that this isn’t the first lifetime they have shared together. It doesn’t necessarily mean you will live happily ever after, but it does show that there is purpose and meaning and even some unfinished business that must be addressed in this lifetime.

Beyond the moon sign I compare a person’s lunar node and how that may interact with the other person’s sun or moon sign – there again, the node is another indication of past life experiences together. Knowing your time of birth is very important when it comes to knowing if a relationship has staying power, because where your planets line up in your partners natal houses further shows how the energy of that planet will be expressed.

Of course we want to compare our Venus’ – the planet of love and Mars – the planet that rules our sexuality and drive. If these planets are compatible in air signs it may show that you have a great ability to communicate well with each other. In fire signs, it may indicate your relationship is very sexually driven with a lot of excitement. In water signs, you feel very intuitive with this person.

As far as longevity for the relationship, it’s always important to compare the person’s Saturn and Venus because these two planets together represent our karma and our love. If we look at charts of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, who are one of Hollywood’s longest lasting marriages we will see that his Venus is conjunct her Saturn in Capricorn in her 12^th house and his Saturn makes a trine to her Venus in water signs.

No one knows for certain how long a relationship will endure, but having the right planet alignment is essential for any potential compatibility and longevity.

Linda Furiate, Astrologer

www.itsallaboutastrology.com

I recently came across a book called "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Sextrology" written by Megan Skinner, Astrologer and Clairvoyant. With love in the air and romance on our minds as we quickly approach Valentine's Day, I thought it might be a nice treat to share with my readers what we are all looking and hoping for when it comes to "sex". The following excerpts are from Megan's book, which may help you gain a little insight into your mate's sextrology.

For those fire signs who want to heat things up:

Aries (3/21-4/20): Rams want to be first in everything they do. They are dare-devils in life and love. They have strong will and can be very aggressive about getting what they want. They are impulsive lovers and are ruled by their instincts. Act now and think later is their motto. Rams have strong sex drives and make fearless lovers. They are open and honest about their feelings, if an Aries wants to be with you, you will know it – because he or she will tell you. They can be a little bossy in the bedroom, although they may not be well versed in the finer nuances of making love. The secret to seducing an Aries is to let them be the pursuer.

Leo (7/23-8/22): Leos are true divas of the zodiac; they love to be the center of attention. They are ambitious by nature and have big dreams. They love making others feel special. Leos are optimists and see the best in everyone. In love and lust – the romance, the passion and the excitement is everything to them. They have big emotions and rarely hesitate to express them. They love showering you with gifts as a way of showing you their affection. Once you get past the external theatrics, you can expect real passion and generosity from a Leo lover.

Sagittarius (11/22-12/22): Sagittarians live large and have a big appetite for life. These independent souls are always on the hunt for new adventures. They are the seekers of higher truth and wisdom. They love to learn and travel. There's too much in life to worry about the small details. They can be the jack of all trades and have an opinion about everything. In love they are flirtatious and fun. It is difficult to capture their heart, which stems from their notorious fear of commitment. They are uncomfortable with expressing their emotions and are more likely to show their affection through actions rather than words. Seducing a Sag is not that difficult; they are always up for a good time and they are most likely attracted to an outgoing person and someone who can make them laugh. Top it off with a little flattery and he/she is all yours!

For those airs signs who have something to say about love:

Gemini (5/21/-6/22): The Twins love to discover new facts and should guard against becoming information junkies. They are fun-loving, entertaining and can be quite the social butterfly flitting around from one gathering to the next. Because Gemini's have so many facets it can be hard to get to know them, much less understand them. They like the "idea" of being in love and can be affectionate and romantic. However the reality of a sustained connection is often intimidating to a Gemini. They are charming and mischievous and making flirting an art. When it comes to emotional intimacy they can be distant and detached. The quickest way to heat up a Gemini's libido is to stimulate them with sexy conversation.

Libra (9/22-10/22): Libra's are intellectually oriented and want their minds stimulated as much as their bodies. They are sensitive to the finer nuances of lovemaking and seek beauty in sexual passion. The Scales are always looking for the mysterious and elusive lover. The key to capturing their heart is to court them faithfully, surround them with beauty, let them know you admire them and respect their deeper sensitivities. For a Libra, pleasure should be slow and long lasting.

Aquarius (1/21-2/19): Aquarians love to shake things up with their originality and rebel, rule-breaking nature. They are true intellectuals with the heart of a freedom-loving hippie. Water bearers are often highly critical and their analytical abilities can cut like a knife. Many Aquarians are tuned into New Age practices. For these independent seekers, emotional intimacy is often the final frontier. At the beginning of a relationship they can be knights in shining armor, but once you have rescued this water bearer - expect the unexpected.

For those water signs who are quite sensitive in love:

Cancer (6/22-7/23): Cancers are always there when you need them. They love to nurture and be nurtured. With a Cancer you will get a caring friend, parent and partner all rolled into one. By nature the sign of Cancer is ruled by the moon, these crabs have very sensitive emotions and often fear revealing their deeper selves. In love they can be extremely possessive and are very picky when choosing a mate, but once they find the right one, they will never want to let you go. Crabs are a classic combination of naughty and nice and can be passionate and caring lovers. A little candlelight and sensual massage and you are sure to release their inner passion.

Scorpio (10/23-11/22): Scorpio can be described as: intense, intense, intense. They will challenge you to think and grow in new ways. They are mysterious lovers, full of sexual intrigue and nothing short of fascinating. They are highly charismatic and charming when they choose to be. Their presence can be hypnotic, even spellbinding. In love Scorpios are one cool customer. They are hard to read or know what they really want. They may seem all powerful, yet deep down they are actually very sensitive. Sex with a Scorpio is likely to be pure, raw and passionate. With these folks, imagination is everything.

Pisces (2/19-3/21): Pisces are romantic, intuitive and poetic souls. They are often visionaries and would rather play in the pretty world of fantasy then deal with the cold, hard reality of life. These Fish are not overly ambitious and at times can be downright lazy in love. They are very feeling oriented and can be moody, although generally good natured. Pisces in love seek enchantment. They are the Cinderella's of the zodiac, content to sweep cinders and spin romantic fantasies until their prince or princess appears. Once they find their soul partner, their gift of unconditional love can last a life time. Pisces are very attentive and often experienced love makers. Sex with a Fish can even have a healing effect as they soothe your deepest fears and awaken you to previously unknown sexual possibilities.

For those earth signs who want to be comfortable and grounded:

Taurus (4/20-5/21): Bulls are conservative in their approach to life and do not like to expend unnecessary energy. They would rather enjoy life each slow step of the way. Their determination and perseverance makes them likely to outlast their quicker rivals and they will often win the game…and your affections. Bulls love to surround themselves with nice things. They are sensual lovers and enjoy spending money on life's little luxuries. For Bulls in love, it's all or nothing. They often fall in love at first sight as they trust their instincts. Once they have chosen a partner, he or she will prefer to mate for life. The Bull does not rush into bed; they love the full art of seduction. Slow and deliberate sensual foreplay is their game plan; satiny sheets, scented candles and warm naked skin is sure to arouse their libido.

Virgo (8/22-9/22): Virgo's desire a well-ordered life and are known as the notorious perfectionist. They are giving and supportive partners and try their best to help their partner achieve a well-ordered life. They are highly intellectual and analyze everything. If you want to figure something out; ask a Virgo, but beware they may come back with a critical and judgmental answer. Aside from their critical ways, Virgins are sensitive and get their feeling hurt quite easily. They are also very kind hearted and have a soft spot for those in need. In love and in their sexual relationships, Virgos are cautious and extremely particular. You may feel like you are on a job interview with the endless questions they will ask of you, as you both express your feelings for one another. Although initially reserved, when it comes to expressing their sexual needs, once a Virgo can get out of their mind and into their body they are able to release an abundance of nervous energy creating a dutiful and thorough lovemaking session. For all of their complications, Virgins are warm and generous lovers. They are also very monogamous and will not tolerate infidelity.

Capricorn (12/22-1/21): Goats are strong with an extremely practical approach to life. Although reserved they are very sexual creatures and make stable and reliable partners. They are focused on their outward appearance and their reputation is very important to them. Goats are not very spontaneous lovers nor are they very romantic. Forget about them writing you a poem or carrying you off to Maui for a whirlwind trip; unless it happens evolve around business. They appreciate strength and modesty in their mate and those who are serious about their lives and careers. Once they find the right lover, they are calm and deliberate in their pursuit. Saying they are tenacious is an understatement. Like all earth signs Capricorns are sensual, tactile and in tune with their deeper physical senses and making love with them tends to be passionate and intensely physical.

Britney Spears

Britney Spears was released from a California hospital today after a bizarre incident in her home on Friday with her refusal to allow ex-hubby, Kevin Federline's body guard to pick up their two sons as mandated in the couples court ordered child custody papers. Britney was hauled off in an ambulance with at least one witness stating that it appeared she was under the influence of "something".

It's a known fact that Britney's been in and out of rehab and astrologically speaking she clearly has issues with addiction. To go even deeper into her chart she has even bigger issues with self worth and knowing how to express her emotional, softer side. She is quite demanding in what she wants and more than anything she feels she is above the law or at least feeling as though she needs to comply with the rules and regulations or Universal Law that applies to all of us. She wants to be a "rule maker" trying to get her "square life" to fit into a "round hole". Britney, life doesn't work that way, so sooner or later you must be willing to let go of some of your ego and insecurity or you will never know how to be happy.

I predicted in the past that Britney would loose custody of her two boys. Britney – let go!! If you ever want any kind of relationship with these precious children let them be with their father in a more stable environment and also let them know you are part of their lives by sending them birthday and Christmas presents and little tokens of love throughout the year. They don't need to be with you to love you, nor should you want them around you while you are seemingly out of control and learning how to heal your own life. A mother's love never fades nor does the longing of a mother's love from the child ever disappear.

Britney if you really want to prove you can be a good mom, hang out with little sister Jamie Lynn when she has her baby ….and just observe. In time you may learn. If you refuse to change your behavior now, you may not be singing "Auld Lang Syne" come 2009.

Why is Britney having such a hard time letting go of Justin?

I feel Britney and Justin will always remain connected to each other in some. These two are truly soul mates and were privileged enough to find each other once again at a very young age. With Justin's south lunar node conjunct Brit's moon in Aquarius in her 5^th house of romance this is a huge indication that these two were lovers in past lives, that's why it's so hard for her to let go. For Brit being with Justin or surrounded by him in some way is like coming home. In many ways they are very much alike when it comes to love and emotions; they both have a hard time committing. I would love to see Britney grow up a bit, straighten up her act and be re-united with Justin – they belong together. And Justin deserves to be with the young Britney he first met and fell in love with. He has a huge heart with a very special place for Britney in it. In November (2007) I see these two having a great opportunity to sit down for a heart to heart talk which will help in the healing of both of their souls.

If Pam carries her pregnancy to full term I feel her union with Rick Salomon may have some longevity. Although anything beyond four months is a long relationship for the blonde bombshell. If she does have his baby Rick will always be a part of Pam's life whether they stay married or not. What may hold this relationship together is the fact that karmically Rick was destined to gain something that changed the course of his life. This guy is pretty intelligent, intuitive while a borderline sneak freak. He may have easily and purposely intended to get Pam pregnant just to put him self back into the limelight. Pam is very moody and has a hard time figuring out what she wants out of her life as her Sun and Mercury in Cancer, Moon in Aries, and Mars in Libra all square each other creating tremendous conflict. She passes herself off as being overly sensitive and has a hard time letting go of the past. I don't see these two staying married long because Rick's logical mind will not put up with Pam's emotional outburst and mood swings. For now it's a wait and see on how the pregnancy delivers itself.

We all know he did, now its karma time.

O.J. Simpson, born July 9, 1947, has claimed his innocence for twelve years now when it comes to killing his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. We all feel he killed the both of them but more importantly, the Universe knows the truth no matter what O.J. wants to believe. Here we are twelve years later and the planet Jupiter has returned to the sign of Sagittarius, where it was when the infamous "not guilty" verdict was read. Jupiter in Sadge is all about higher philosophy and acts as the judge and lawmaker. With this combination, plus favorable moon aspects and the fact the Mercury was retrograde at the time of the reading of the verdict, I predicted O.J. would not spend any jail time for the killing of Nicole and Ron.

The Universe always has a way of catching up with our actions. It's like big brother watching over us no matter what we do. O.J.'s chart indicates a life of confinement probably brought in from past lives where he failed to pay his debt to society. He's not going to be so lucky this time around as he finds himself once again in legal woes. Whether O.J. was set up or orchestrated this whole "give me back what's mine" event, it will be the turning point and the gift to the Browns and Goldman's to finally see the man they believe to have killed their loved one get the punishment he deserves – spending out the rest of his natural life behind bars.

It has been reported the hunky Dylan McDermott has split from his wife Shiva Rose after twelve years of marriage and the birth of two beautiful girls. When Dylan saw Shiva in a coffee shop he says he was in love right away. As the stars between the two aligned I'm not surprised by that at all as Dylan and Shiva were lovers in past lives; for him it was like coming home to an old friend. She may have recognized that as well but this time around she has a hard time making up her mind on what she really wants out of life. No doubt Shiva is a beautiful and intelligent woman and that she and Dylan have a lot of karma together. However, Dylan is experiencing a new 12-year Jupiter cycle with everything in his life changing; from love, to money to his hopes and dreams. We are really going to see his life and career sky-rocket over the next couple of years. This break up with Shiva is opening the door to new love. So what is Dylan looking for in a second go around in love and marriage?

Dylan has his Sun and his Mars is mysterious, passionate and intuitive Scorpio, plus his Moon, Mercury and Venus in air signs. When it comes to life and love he is very intense with a philosophical edge. He enjoys a great conversation with an intelligent woman who is versed in world events, has a deep sense of self and shares his philosophic passion for life, plus looks good on his arm. One thing he may have lacked with Shiva was the deeper side of her own self. For now Dylan needs to focus on his career and his children because in about a year from now life is going to get crazy busy and he will become even more successful. The best part about this is he won't be experiencing his success alone. I predict by July or August 2008 Dylan will find himself in a very loving relationship and by the end of 2009 he will once again tie the knot.
