COSMIC WEATHER:

“Life’s problems wouldn’t be called ‘hurdles,’ if there wasn’t a way to get over them.” Unknown source

Things may be a bit more “topsy turvy” today with the Moon in emotional Cancer forming squares to unpredictable Uranus in Aries and restrictive Saturn in Libra, and also an opposition to reforming Pluto in Capricorn. This alignment activity sets up a dynamic cardinal cross in the sky. Cardinal sign energy (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) is very active and initiating. The pace around us now could quicken. Somewhat of a roller coaster. We progress now by being flexible, aware, and simply going with the flow. Sometimes, this buildup of cardinal energy spawns heroic or uncommon efforts.  Other times, creativity (Elvis Presley was born with a grand cardinal cross). Hopefully its appearance in your life today will have positive, exhilarating consequences.

BTW, last fall, when American Idol’s two new judges were formally announced, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez, we had a cardinal grand cross exact in the sky. Again, it can be a highly creative, energizing configuration. Also a time when we feel more inclined or compelled to roll-out bolder agendas for ourselves, or are more amenable to changing things up, desiring newness and freshness. I was curious as to how Tyler and Lopez would fare on Idol, being chosen at that time,  but it appears that the viewer response has so far been favorable.

On a sweeter note, communicator Mercury and love maven Venus are aligned together in flirty Aries, boding well for weekend romance. This Mercury-Venus aspect will be exact on Monday. Too, with this same influence applying yesterday, it was announced that Beatle Paul McCartney is planning another trip down the aisle (trip #3) with his New York girlfriend of four years, Nancy Shevell (she’s reportedly a cousin to Barbara Walters). Not sure of the wedding date. Paul, a Gemini, has adventurous Mars and expansive Jupiter in new beginnings Aries presently sextiling his Sun (sense of self), so he is going through a more enthusiastic, optimistic phase (Jupiter-Sun aspects are often advised for weddings). Coincidentally, we had a similar type of Mars-Jupiter energy (the conjunction) in the royal wedding chart last week of Kate Middleton and Prince William.

COSMIC WEATHER:

A lot going on above us today…

The Night Owl Moon switches from Mystic Guru Pisces to Race Car Driver Aries (11:24 am EDT) at which time we may want to proceed warp-speed ahead with our agendas.  The Aries Moon is all about taking action, conquering new frontiers. Needless to say, today is not the time to be a cozy little “couch potato,” sitting around watching Oprah. But rather a time to “go out and do!” Later on, though, we may need to avoid power struggles with the Moon’s square to Controlling Pluto (5:39 pm EDT).

Mental Mercury, governing our thoughts and ideas, also joins Venus and Mars in Probing Scorpio for a three-week run. With Mercury in Scorpio, our thinking becomes deeper as we set about solving some of life’s greatest mysteries. Scorpio is the sign of the zodiac that deals with life, death, and rebirth issues. Mercury in Scorpio is keenly able to solve long-standing riddles and cleverly figure out “who dunnit plots.” We may also begin to get real clarity on those issues in our lives that may have been perplexing us for a while.

Mercury in Scorpio’s style tends to be “all or nothing.” When it examines something, it either gives it its full undivided attention or neglects it altogether.

Pioneering Mars in Resourceful Scorpio is also harmoniously trine Philosophical Jupiter in Pisces. This is, classically, a powerhouse aspect for social, religious, and political activism. We can make notable progress toward our goals and dreams today, and if there is something that we really “believe in,” this is the time to “go for it,” especially with the Moon in adventurous Aries.

The Sun in Relationship Libra is also in a more challenging quinqunx aspect to Quirky Uranus in Pisces. We could encounter some skeptics, or otherwise “oddball types” (Uranus) who want us to justify our actions to them. However, we shouldn’t let others derail or intimidate us now. Especially with Mars trine to Jupiter, “nothing’s gonna stop us now!”

Activities favored today: new beginnings, rebirth and renewal efforts, medical and scientific research, wills and estate matters, psychic development, spying and espionage, investigation, reviewing insurance matters, intimate sexual encounters, holistic healing, religion, social and political activism, treasure-hunting.

Quote for Today:

“Chase down your passion like it’s the last bus of the night.” Terri Guillemets

On October 20, 1968, former “First Lady” Jackie Kennedy weds wealthy Greek shipping magnate, Aristotle Onassis. Aristotle’s private island “Skorpios” in the Ionian Sea is the site for this historic event.

In Jackie’s and Aristotle’s “wedding chart” that day (time unknown for the service), Venus, the Goddess of Love and Marriage, was in Possessive Scorpio and in an “out-of-sign” sextile to Non-conforming Uranus in Marital Libra.  When Venus is aligned with Uranus we often see “unusual pairings” taking place.  Venus-Uranus is often “non-traditional” and tends to bring about alliances between very different kinds of persons.   When Frank Sinatra met Mia Farrow, for instance, he had Venus-Uranus prominent in his chart. Venus-Uranus craves excitement and embraces relationships that are “out of the norm.” Additionally, Paul McCartney met John Lennon when Venus-Uranus was exact in the heavens.  It can be an aspect of “sudden attraction.”

Interestingly, Jupiter, the traditional planet of “good fortune and abundance,” was also in a tight conjunction to Pluto. Pluto is associated with “mega-money,” especially when aligned with “lucky” and “expansive” Jupiter. Jupiter and Pluto were in Practical, Dutiful Virgo and harmonious to Sea-Faring Neptune in the sign of Joint Resources Scorpio (Aristotle’s wealth was from Neptunian-ruled shipping). It has been reported that a main reason Jackie married Aristotle was out of a need for privacy and security for her children, which would fit the practical, stabilizing Virgo-Scorpio energy.

Venus, at 29 degrees of Scorpio, was also separating from a Glamourizing, Idealistic conjunction with Neptune at 25 of Scorpio. With Venus-Neptune, there can be a lot of fantasy and make-believe at the core of the relationship, as Neptune is the ruler of our imagination and dreams. Venus-Neptune relationships are often hard to “see clearly,”  as Neptune characteristically looks at romance through “rose-colored glasses.” Venus-Neptune tends to “idolize the partner,” sees him or her as a “savior.” Venus-Neptune relationships can sometimes contain “martyrdom” elements to them as well, as Neptune often denotes ego-denying experiences. Sometimes, Venus-Neptune is indicative of marrying someone “on another wavelength.”

Also, in Jackie’s case, Venus-Neptune literally symbolized a “romance involving aspects of the sea,” as Aristotle made his livelihood from the sea.

Venus additionally was at an “anaretic degree” of Scorpio (meaning the last degree of a sign), which can signal a “sense of urgency” to the relationship and romance. (Too, in a few years, Jackie would later end up a “widow,” with Scorpio the sign of “transition.”)

Jackie, who was a proud, charismatic Leo with a Private Scorpio rising and an Adventurous Aries Moon, also had in her personal horoscope then, Stabilizing Saturn transiting at 21 degrees of Libra exactly trine to her natal Venus at 21 degrees of Gemini. Venus also rules her 7th house of marriage.  With Venus-Saturn, we often forge relationships with older individuals (which Saturn denotes) and often these relationships are based on security needs. Venus not only rules relationships it also rules money. Saturn was also getting ready to move into Jackie’s twelfth house of seclusion, a period when we often seek a “personal retreat” from the outside world.

Aristotle, an Ambitious Capricorn with a Travel-Happy Sagittarius Moon, had transiting Jupiter and Pluto in Virgo exactly trine to his natal Venus in Capricorn in his horoscope when he married Jackie.  Venus-Pluto can represent a “transforming passion” in our lives, and it sometimes synonymous with “bringing us our soulmate.” (Pluto denotes past lives.)

Ellen DeGeneres’ Horoscope, Her Quitting “American Idol”

01 Sunday Aug 2010

Posted by Patrice Thompson in August 2010 Astrology, Celebrity Astrology

American Idol, astrology, astrology August 1 2010, astrology for august 2010, Ellen Degeneres, Ellen Degeneres horoscope, Ellen DeGeneres quits American Idol July 2010, FOX Network, horoscope, Jennifer Lopez on American Idol, Kara DioGuardi gets fired from American Idol, Moon in Aries, music industry, Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Ryan Seacrest, Simon Cowell, Simon Cowell horoscope, steven Tyler on American Idol panel, Sun conjunct Venus, sun in Aquarius, sun opposite uranus, Venus conjunct Pluto, Venus in Virgo

Talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres,  who was also a judge this past season on “American Idol,” surprisingly resigned from her duties on “Idol” last week, citing, among other things, that it was hard for her to judge people and “sometimes hurt their feelings.” She also said that her work schedule “became more than I bargained for.”

A quick look at Ellen’s natal horoscope (born 1/26/58) shows that she is a freedom-loving Aquarian with a restless, trailblazing Aries Moon, with the Moon governing her emotional nature. She also has her Aquarian Sun, denoting her ego and basic sense of self, in a close conjunction with peacekeeper Venus, the love principle.  This Sun-Venus aspect gives her a real flair and strong need for diplomacy, as well wanting to connect with others in a friendly, yet more impersonal, detached way, characteristic of airy Aquarius.

This same appeasing Sun-Venus aspect, however, is also likely the very thing that made her feel “out of sorts” as a judge on “Idol,” as in that role she had no choice but to deliver honest assessments to candidates, which in some cases, meant possibly hurting contestants’ feelings by having to tell them that they were not as talented enough as they needed to be for the big time.

Now, for someone like Simon Cowell, who I personally love dearly, who has his loving Venus deposited in more critical Virgo, and also exactly conjunct “toxic Pluto,” the planet of death and destruction (also rebirth and regeneration), it’s much more natural and effortless for him to unabashedly “pick apart” candidates and shred them to pieces.

I believe he also feels that when he is doing so, that he is being of “real service,” because I think he feels he is only being honest with contestants and just “telling it like it is,” so they will not continue to delude themselves into thinking they have talent, when in fact they don’t.

Of course, Simon is only human, and not infallible, but most of the time he does seem to be spot on with his assessments.  Venus Pluto is very perceptive, especially when it comes to sizing up musical talent, which is also ruled by Venus. Pluto confers “X-ray” vision into things.

Ellen, meanwhile, while she prefers to “preserve the peace,” simultaneously she is not beyond engaging in some measure of controversy at times. Especially when it comes to seeing others receive “fair and equitable treatment,” as her Sun-Venus aspect is opposed by innovative, change-agent Uranus, the planetary ruler of Aquarius, which governs equality issues, as well as such impulses as originality and taking radical, individualistic stands.  Especially when such stands are needed to empower the disadvantaged or downtrodden. Aquarius is intrinsically humanistic in outlook and generally concerned with issues “outside of self” that pertain to the collective.

Uranus can be “quirky acting,” however, and is also likely the main catalyst that fuels Ellen’s more wacky, creative, electrifying sense of humor.  Uranus is associated with “genius,” and in this astrologer’s eyes, I definitely would rank Ellen as a “comedic genius,” although her math scores may be less than desirable and her aptitude for physics, lacking.

All kidding aside, Ellen probably would have also made a good teacher, as she has an outgoing, upbeat, scholarly Sagittarius Rising, a sign that rules higher education, with both energizer Mars and disciplined Saturn conjoined her Rising sign. One’s Rising sign, or Ascendant, governs one’s outward personality and also shows how others tend to see us.

(Important Note: This Sagittarius rising is also assuming that Ellen was born around 3:30 am which was the time that was listed on Astro.com, but it is a birth time that has not been verified, although it certainly seems to fit her, especially with her just quitting “Idol.”)

Also, with Mars and Saturn on her Rising, she is very determined and very ambitious for herself and definitely not a quitter when it comes to going after what she wants.  She can be “very competitive,” but also in a nice, “Sun-Venus” way.

From the looks of Ellen’s horoscope, too, I think a big part of the original appeal and lure for Ellen about “American Idol,” was the perceived opportunity, on her part, to personally be able to help inspire the contestants, in an idealistic, Sagittarian way, so as to hopefully goad them on to reach their loftiest potentials.

Ruled by expansive Jupiter, Sagittarius Rising perennially wants to “impart knowledge” and “help facilitate growth,” including even giving a tendency towards “evangelizing.” I can even see Ellen standing behind a pulpit on TV someday, can’t you?  Perhaps imparting some non-traditional type of gospel message.

Plus, if you’re on Twitter, you already know how driven Ellen  is in wanting to keep getting more and more “disciples” to follow her on Twitter. Anyway, I believe that Ellen probably feels most fulfilled when she is able to help others “move forward,” in addition to obviously wanting to entertain people as a comedian and talk show host.

Ellen’s Sun-Venus conjunction, too, is highly creative, both artistically and musically, and no doubt it has helped to make her a very gifted performer and artist. Venus, and its higher octave Neptune, rules music, art, as well as general aesthetic sensibilities. She also loves dancing and Sun-Venus can give an ability in that department, too.

According to reports, Ellen actually told Fox and “Idol” producers a couple months ago that the show was “not the right fit for her.” She also supposedly told them then that she was going to hold off doing anything, until they decided on a direction for the panel. Late last week there was also word that Kara DioGuardi has been fired from the show, with the additional rumor widely circulating that Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler would be joining Randy Jackson and that the show was returning to a three-judge panel.

Reviewing Ellen’s horoscope with respect to the planetary “transits” (what’s occurring now in her chart), we see that on July 25th is when things really began “heating up” for her most recently, astrologically.  That is when the Full Moon in Aquarius fell smack on her Sun in her money house, an aspect often denoting a “change in status and income,” as well as generating a “full awareness” of one’s life situation and perhaps what to do about it. Full Moons “illuminate” our consciousness.  They also signify endings.

Also on that very same day, assertive, warrior Mars conjoined and moved into her tenth house of career, a major, short-term influence that often correlates with sudden “job changes,” as Mars is the planet of action and moves matters and events forward aggressively and often very swiftly. Mars stays into Ellen’s career house till mid-September, making some harmonious career aspects to both her Sun and Venus this month, especially around August 6th through the 9th and again the 12th through the 15th. It should be good and energizing for new beginnings, new strategies.

Additionally, Ellen has had major, major long-term Saturn and Uranus aspects affecting her Virgo career house strongly for the past year, really ever since she first got involved with “Idol.”  When Ellen first signed on to be a judge on the show, she had Saturn, often billed as “The Taskmaster,” sitting smack on her tenth house career cusp.  It was also separating from more challenging aspects to her natal Mars and Saturn, both in her first house of new beginnings.

Saturn  has basically not strayed far from that position at the top of her chart for the past last year, due to its prolonged retrograde (backward) motion, which finally came to an end at the end of May, when Saturn finally stationed direct, which was ironically the same exact time the last “Idol season” ended.

That would have also been around the time, too, that she alerted the “Idol” producers and Fox to the fact that the show was not the right fit for her. Saturn probably made her internally aware of that fact. Like the Full Moon, Saturn is also symbolically associated with endings.

While Saturn will stay for another two years in the career sector of her horoscope, it’s affect during this time period may not seem as psychologically “onerous” or “heavy” to her, as it probably did to her this past year, when it was steadily within a close range of conjuncting her tenth house cusp, which has the similar affect of a doorbell ringing non-stop, driving you batty.

Planetary energies often have their greatest impact when they are exactly on the house cusps, which is like being positioned on the front porch entrance of a house. Then you also usually feel the planetary energies again later when they meet up with other planets inside the houses, or throw aspects to planets in other houses.

Saturn, which represents duties and achievement, is often associated with an increase in “heavy responsibilities,” especially when aligned with the tenth house. At the same time, Saturn transiting here is also often correlated with important career accomplishments and finally being rewarded and recognized for one’s past efforts, which is why Ellen was likely signaled out and approached for the show in the first place.

Also, I wanted to backtrack again, for a minute, to when Ellen was originally recruited for “Idol.” She not only had the demanding Saturn influence prominent at the top of her horoscope then, she also had unpredictable Uranus simultaneously at the bottom of her chart, in opposition to her career house, and also squaring her Mars and Saturn in her first house of new beginnings (again assuming the 3:30 am birth time here.)

That volatile Uranus influence was sort of the equivalent of being thrown a “career curve ball,” as Uranus can bring in sudden, disruptive changes out of the blue, changes which may seem really exciting and liberating at the time, but later they can make you feel disoriented and pressured when you realize that you maybe reacted too hastily in making new moves.  Then add heavy Saturn to the mix and you’re needing serious liquor to get through the days and nights.

Ellen is not really out of the reach of Uranus yet, either, in terms of its more erratic influence on her career, as this planet will be very prominent in opposition to her career house starting again in September and pretty much continuing all the way through early spring of 2011. Uranus during that period is retrograding back into the sign of Pisces, going back to 26 degrees of Pisces, and Ellen’s career house cusp is 27 Virgo, so it will be exactly opposing it.

During this same span, too, Ellen also has some very harmonious, stabilizing Saturn aspects involving her career the first three weeks of September and then also roughly mid-October.

It could be, too, however, that Uranus will be affecting her through early spring on more of a psychological level, this time, versus on an outer level. She may be internally feeling the need to yet do something different again with her life.  Uranus again governing change. She may even also want to move or make changes in her surroundings, as Uranus is in the area of her chart dealing with home and family issues.

Also, then when Uranus re-enters Aries and begins expansively trining her Sun late April and all May of 2011, magical things could really begin opening up for her, as she begins to embark on even more exciting new chapters in her life, minus the more frictional sorts of energies that have been stalking her as of late. So she should be feeling pretty good and her financial aspects are very positive then.

Too, astrology is only a road map, and essentially only shows archetypal energy patterns.  What we decide to do with them, is strictly up to us. Some people screw up perfectly good aspects, just because they can.  Others thrive when the stars are the dimmest.

Patricia’s Daily Astrology Horoscope July 9, 2010: Sudden Fame

“It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely.” Albert Einstein

Cosmic Word Of The Day: Fame

Definition: 1) widespread reputation, esp. of a favorable character; renown; public eminence

Origin: 1175-1225; < L fama, talk, public opinion, repute

COSMIC WEATHER:

We’re craving our fifteen minutes of fame.

This is because Mental Mercury leaves Homebody Cancer for Rock Star Leo today (12:30 pm EDT), a sign that is profusely addicted to being on stage and hogging the spotlight.

Also, since Mercury in Leo is harmoniously trining Innovative Uranus in Get Discovered Aries – a very powerful creative alignment that is also synonymous with sudden fame and notoriety – we’re considering taking the plunge and auditioning for none other than the likes of Simon Cowell himself, the Universe’s guaranteed pathway to instant fame and riches for wannabee stars.

Simon reigns supreme in this area partly because in his personal horoscope, he has his musical, lovable Venus and controlling, penetrating Pluto, together in the picky, “masterfully analytical” sign of Virgo the Virgin, providing him with profound,  instant ability to size up singing talent, while simultaneously calling into question some of his more private, bedside predilections.

We’re also not going the traditional audition route with Simon – standing in line for hours. What we’re going to do instead is audition for him by way of “telepathy,” since Uranus rules intuition and telepathy.

Another thing we believe working in our favor today: Talented, Voice-Ruler Venus is at the tail end of Performance Leo, separating from an exact opposition to Disillusioning, Undermining Neptune in Brotherly Aquarius. This planetary aspect is perfect here because it endows us with a very deep need and overwhelming desire and capacity for vast amounts of humiliation and embarrassment before the collective.

“Fame is the thirst of youth.” Lord Byron

“If you have to have a job in this world, a high-price movie star is a pretty good gig.” Tom Hanks

That’s exactly the sort of gig we’re seeking today, Tom. Can you help us out?

Enjoy your Friday!

Hope you make it through to Hollywood.

“My second favorite household chore is ironing.  My first being hitting my head on the top bunk bed until I faint.” Erma Bombeck.

It’s day two of the Moon in Virgo (until 10:50 pm EDT).  What could that portend for us? What do I see taking shape in the crystal ball?  Hmm.

How about a bucket and a mop! After all, it is a Saturday. And, the Virgo Moon is a nut about cleanliness – I’m even cleaning the keyboard as I write this.

Plus we have Venus now deposited in Cancer, signifying a love of the home, and nobody wants a dirty home, especially when the Moon is in tidy Virgo.

Voila. So that’s it!  Our karma question has been readily solved for today.

Yes, the more I think about it, it is our destiny now to be submerged in all manner of cleaning. Virgo is also talented at organizing, so we can line up all of our cleaning supplies and related paraphernalia in a most adroit manner before we even get started.

I also realize, too, that many of us are probably feeling a great deal of moral and spiritual angst today, with the Jupiter (expansion) opposition to Saturn (contraction) almost exact.  But, we’ll talk more about the full meaning of that weighty influence tomorrow, when it will indeed be exact (1:38 am EDT).

Too, Saturn is also in Virgo so why not try to make that cranky old planet a tad happier by removing that annoying ring around the kitchen sink and giving him less competition.

Celebrity News:

Oprah did a “farewell interview” with Simon Cowell on Thursday. Fittingly, Simon’s horoscope (born 10/7/59) was echoing that same “parting sentiment” that day.  He had the transiting Venus exactly opposite his natal Saturn, a classic aspect of separation that also hints at a little bit of sadness.

Venus represents what we love and value.  It shows what we are attached to in the guise of our relationships. It also signifies our creative attachments and things of beauty that we have perhaps given birth to, such as exquisite works of art, paintings.

Saturn meanwhile represents those “safe structures” that we have painstakingly erected in the world as a result of going to work every day and responsibly doing our job.  Saturn showcases to all our composite of talents and skills that we have so keenly honed over time that consequently allows us to eke out a living on the planet.

Indeed, Saturn symbolizes the world that we have diligently assembled for ourselves.  It’s like our little empire. A few people, like Simon, as well as Oprah, are able to manifest gigantic Saturnian empires that have the net affect of allowing them to wield an inordinate amount of “earthly power” and “status.”

Saturn can also signify poignant endings, however, or a letting go of those self-made trappings, especially when paired with relationship Venus, Goddess of Love.

So, on Thursday, with transiting Venus in vulnerable Cancer, the zodiacal sign of the womb, opposite Simon’s Saturn in the professional sign of Capricorn, Simon was saying “goodbye” to a part of the world (Saturn) that he had so creatively crafted (Venus) and birthed, and that had afforded him a notable amount of material riches and worldly success.

He was also saying goodbye, in many ways, to the extension of corresponding relationships that he had forged with the fans who were part of that reality (Saturn) that he had manifested on American Idol, hence there was a palpable tone of sadness in the air during the interview and Simon’s demeanor was also more serious. The “opposition aspect” is an aspect depicting a full culmination of awareness regarding what one has previously set into motion.

For the last few days, Simon has also had in his horoscope, transiting Mercury, denoting thoughts and communication, exactly trine his natal Pluto, the gatekeeper of all of our secrets. Pluto represents the subconscious and all that is hidden from view.  It symbolically depicts what we have buried inside us at the deepest level of our beings.

With Mercury aligned with Pluto, we often get in touch with those hidden elements inside ourselves that we may have previously kept submerged or maybe didn’t even consciously know existed.  Mercury-Pluto is associated with psychotherapy and arriving at a new awareness of the nature of things as a result of unearthing hidden feelings and emotions.

With this aspect, we are also more willing to articulate and share our secrets. During the interview with Oprah, for example, Simon mentioned that he suffers from depression and said that he can be very difficult to be around because of his moods. He also mentioned that he has felt under pressure because so many people depend on him.

I have previously written about Simon Cowell’s horoscope on my blog here, and am not going to go into much detail again about it, except to say that one of the most notable aspects in Simon’s chart is his Venus and Pluto conjoined in workaholic Virgo, the sign of service.

Venus, as I mentioned earlier, denotes what we love and in the sign of Virgo, it shows that we are inclined to be “married to our work.”  Simon even told Oprah that his work has been sort of a girlfriend for him. Pluto also speaks to our need for power and persons with this aspect can be very obsessive and controlling in going about obtaining  that power in the workplace.

Venus-Pluto is often the signature of someone who can be completely consumed by their work to the point of obsession (Pluto). It is very hard for these persons to let go and delegate and also harder for them to relax physically, as Virgo is a more nervous sign physiologically.

Virgo is also all about perfection with an insatiable desire to serve and please and when natives of this sign feel that they are not delivering here, they can feel boatloads of guilt. Simon also addressed this very same guilt issue.

What is very positive now for Simon is that he has transiting Pluto, which often acts as a transforming agent in our lives, exactly trine to his natal Venus-Pluto configuration. This more harmonious trine influence is allowing him to broaden out his scope of pleasurable things (Venus) in his life, beyond the confines of the work sphere (Virgo), to the formation of a very significant personal relationship with someone he apparently plans on marrying.  As I wrote about earlier when I did his horoscope, transiting Pluto to Venus can bring in a soul mate and it does sound like Simon feels that way about the current female presence in his life, at least that is what I gathered from hearing him talking to Oprah.

It could be, too, that Simon’s professional work, in the next couple years, perhaps his involvement with the new American X-Factor, or maybe something else that he is working on, is also going to propel him to even bigger and newer heights on the world stage.

Mick Jagger, incidentally, wrote the lyrics to Satisfaction when Pluto was exactly conjoined his Venus, which is also in the same sign as Simon’s (Virgo).  Satisfaction in a left-handed way is a “soul mate” for Mick and the Stones in that it is their trademark piece of work that most identifies them. Maybe Simon has something else inside him, as well, that he will be birthing soon, that will also impart some kind of fresh trademark status for him beyond his many achievements already.  We’ll just have to wait and see and wish him the best. I know I will personally miss him on Idol, the show will not be the same, but I am looking forward to watching Simon on the X-Factor.

Enjoy your Saturday! Tidy up your nest today with that Virgo Moon. You know, she doesn’t want to see one speck of dust lurking around anywhere.
