Johnny Depp based on June 9, 1963 Owensboro, Kentucky

Johnny Depp may have been born under the sign Gemini but he certainly has a strong earth influence in his chart with his natal Mars, Uranus and Pluto in the sign Virgo, his natal Moon in Capricorn and his natal Mercury and Venus in the sign Taurus. One must appreciate the fact that the light-hearted Gemini characteristics coupled with all the practical and die-hard earth traits do paint a very pretty picture. I happen to like the combination and feel that this accounts for his playfulness without ever totally going over the line. When it comes right down to it Depp has managed to get the Gemini Peter Pan looks with the stable, secure follow the highway paved with gold attitude all wrapped up in one. With his natal Sun well aspected to his natal Saturn he has added discipline and with his natal Jupiter well aspected to his natal Moon he knows how to be emotional and very irresistible when it comes to the big screen. With his natal Venus conjunct his natal Mercury he is no doubt as charming as can be.
Johnny was born with his natal Uranus conjunct his natal Mars however and that can cause some rather erratic behavior in an area of his life that deals with personal issues and relationships and with his natal Saturn adversely positioned to his natal Venus Mercury conjunction he may have a problem expressing his true feelings or staying in one relationship indefinitely and that could spell trouble on the horizon for Depp and his partner Vanessa Paradis.
I recently went to see his latest movie Pirates of the Caribbean and let me tell you he stole my heart in many ways. Not only his acting ability and obvious good looks but there is a strong presence that he possesses that cannot be denied. Yes I do believe that Gemini born Depp is one of the chosen when it comes to having what I consider to be a pretty good chart. He is facing many changes both personally and professionally over the course of the next couple of years. Where his career is concerned they will definitely catapult him into a top ranking box office moneymaker. Personally I believe that the changes he experiences will be more difficult and certainly not what he expects but the end result will be good for him.

Angelina Jolie based on June 4, 1975, Los Angeles, CA

Angelina continues to dazzle her fans as Laura or Lara Croft (if anyone knows the correct spelling please advise as I've found both on the Internet) in her newly released movie and at the same time mystifies most while doing her promotional interviews. Just when you think you have this young starlet figured out she becomes even more unusual then most of her contemporaries. Now that's not hard to understand after viewing her chart after all she is a Gemini and they are continually changing. You can ask a Gemini the same question two days in a row and get a completely different response depending on where their head happens to be at the moment.
With Angelina having both her natal Sun and Mercury in that sign well positioned to her natal Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus she is dynamic, interesting and certainly spontaneous. She was born with a great chart but with her natal Neptune opposite her natal Sun trine her natal Mars, Moon and Jupiter and sextile her natal Pluto all in areas of entertainment and communications you can bet that she has a very imaginative mind and the wherewithal to live out whatever she can drum up in her head. She doesn't like to live with boundaries and has probably never conformed to any sort of regular lifestyle. She is an adventurer who wants to discover the unusual.
With her natal Saturn and Venus in the sign Cancer there does appear to be a certain need for her to nest especially now while Jolie is approaching her Saturn return and re-evaluating her life up to this point. Her restlessness is also causing confusion because at the same time she is feeling the necessity to settle down somewhere she is also feeling the need to try something altogether different with transiting Uranus beginning to square her planets in Gemini and Sagittarius. Unfortunately she is likely to change her lifestyle to such a degree that she could lose control just when she thinks she is gaining it. There does appear to be some trouble brewing at a maternal level however that could be more to do with her parents then with her son, however my guess is that it will be a little of both. She will also have to watch her health and well being as both stress related illness coupled with putting herself in dangerous situations could lead to a challenge that even the alias Laura Croft has a hard time handling.

Johnny was born with his natal Uranus conjunct his natal Mars however and that can cause some rather erratic behavior in an area of his life that deals with his personal issues and relationships and with his natal Saturn adversely positioned to his natal Venus Mercury conjunction he may have a problem when it comes to commitment. Maybe that's why he has been with Vanessa Paradis for a little while. He may not feel threatened where this relationship is concerned, partly because his chart really doesn't match up all that well to hers making this a safe haven for him. She has just completed her Saturn return and has probably re-evaluated her position and her direction and that could lead to wanting to settle down with Depp for all the wrong reasons.

Michael J Fox based on June 9, 1961, 12:15 AM, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Gemini born Michael J. Fox has had a rough go of it the past several years. The Gemini born actor only has his natal Sun in that sign and although you can definitely see the qualities of the Twins in his persona. Michael also has strong Taurus/Leo qualities in his chart as well.
Fox was born with his natal Mercury in the sign Cancer well aspected to his natal Neptune in Scorpio in an area of his chart that deals with creativity, entertainment and communications and although this area of his chart will be under fire it will also receive some help from transiting Uranus that is sure to bring about change regarding the dreaded disease that he fights so diligently. The fact that he was born with his natal Mercury in Cancer indicates that he has a very astute memory however right now with transiting Saturn conjunct his natal Mercury it is apparent that his disease is probably causing some problems with speech. Michael's natal Saturn falls in a health area of his chart in the sign Capricorn and with transiting Saturn slowly moving towards his second half life Saturn beginning in the fall of next year I fear the brave young Fox will have to fight hard to find a cure for this dreaded disease between now and then. With his natal Venus conjunct his natal Moon in an area of his chart that deals with communication adversely positioned to his natal Saturn time is becoming very crucial.
Between the fall of 2004 and the summer of 2006 he will face one of the most horrific battles of his life. For Michael it is obvious by his chart that he has always been faced with extreme life cycles. He has never been willing to back down, nor has he ever given up. He has beaten the odds in the past and he will fight in order to beat them once again. For Fox many adjustments are taking place but as in the past he has always brought something important to others on both the small and the big screen and now I believe that he will bring something even more significant to those who are all to familiar with Parkinson's. He will give people suffering from this disease hope and encouragement coupled with a chance for a cure. I'm sure like myself everyone one of Michael's fans is behind him sending love, prayer and positive thoughts.

Lebron James based on December 30, 1984,Akron, Ohio

Okay I know basketball season is over but humor me - you know I'm a big fan and just couldn't wait until next season to take a look at LeBron James, the up and coming superstar of the basketball scene. Born under the sign Capricorn he certainly will have the determination and stamina to go the distance. With his natal Mercury and Uranus conjunct in Sagittarius he is definitely a team player and with his natal Saturn and Pluto in Scorpio I don't think he's one to back down, accept defeat or give up. Nope LeBron James is just about a perfect package, he is like the guy who found his niche at a young age, the born to be a superstar basketball hero that everyone will grow to love. He is a clean player, a team player who is blessed with so much natural talent that it's impossible for the media to ignore his presence.
LeBron injured his left wrist on June 8th while transiting Mars was conjunct his natal Venus and square his natal Saturn and Uranus was conjunct his natal Mars but trine his natal Pluto. Bad blow but with the favorable Pluto Uranus trine I do believe he will heal quickly. All that being said it does bring me to the question - How accident-prone is this young hoop star? Astrologically speaking LeBron was born with his natal Venus adversely positioned to his natal Saturn and this can be a problem causing some limitations where injuries are concerned but unlike some players with this aspect LeBron has a saving grace and that is the fact that his natal Mars is so well positioned to his natal Pluto, Neptune and Sun that regardless of any injury that he might endure he will bounce back and continue to play like a pro, not some woos who is afraid of injuring himself again. I have to say Cleveland is lucky to get this young man who has been well raised, is obviously very close to his mom with his natal Mercury conjunct Uranus well aspected to the Moon in his chart. James is a guy who has been raised by a dedicated mom who reads him like a bookboth inside and out.
As a basketball fan I feel fortunate that I will be able to watch this young man take the court by storm. I do believe that we will see great things from LeBron with maybe one pitfall and that's if he lets the Jupiter transit he faces come this October, that will I might add stay with him for most of the season, allow him to let all his fame and fortune go to his head. This transit usually results in the person needing a dose of reality or diet shampoo and making some big mistakes along the way so we may have to give James a year to adjust to the big transition he is about to make. Hopefully the coaches will keep his mom close by to knock sense into him should this be the case. If he can keep a straight head he will have the world in his hand and we won't have to wait a few years to actually see what he can do.

Hillary Clinton based on October 26, 1947, Chicago, Illinois

What's behind Scorpio born Hillary Rodham Clinton? This strong minded and willed woman has probably surprised most with her ability as a Scorpio to forgive her not so faithful husband. Hillary was born with three of her natal planets in Leo the sign that Bill Clinton was born under and that may be the trigger that has enabled her to be understanding and loyal to her partner through thick and thin, however my guess is that she has good reason to keep him by her side and that would have to be strictly for career purposes.
Hillary Clinton can be just as much of a charismatic leader as her counterpart given the chance. With her natal Mars, Saturn and Pluto in Leo there is no doubt that she is quite capable of being a leader who can actively drum up the kind of following needed to put her family back in the White House. For Hillary the means justifies the end result and in this case as long as she feels that Bill is an asset she will take him along for the ride. Hillary is bright, compassionate and very focused on what she wants. With her natal Moon in Pisces well aspected to her natal Mercury and Venus in Scorpio she is also loyal regardless of what has happened and will not tolerate letting her belief in tradition and the institution of marriage be compromised.
I believe that her recent book has a purpose as well that pertains to her future goals. This is a coming clean type of book that gives her public a chance to view her up close and personal in preparation for her next leap into the limelight in the political arena. There is no doubt that her heart has always been set on the challenge of being the first woman to become president of the United States and with this in mind one has to look at her upcoming transits over the next several years. With transiting Saturn moving into the sign Cancer well aspected to her natal Sun, Mercury and Venus in the sign Scorpio and Uranus in the sign Pisces also well aspected to those planets one has to believe that Hillary's time may not be all that far off. She is on an upward climb this decade and certainly worth watching as she maneuvers herself into a favorable position as a future candidate.

Orlando Bloom based on Jan.13, 1977, Canterbury, Kent, United Kingdom

Orlando is a Capricorn with his natal Sun, Mercury and Mars in that sign making him determined to follow his dream. With his natal Venus in Pisces the question of love and his preferences, which appears to be the talk of the town is certainly not a mystery after viewing his chart.
With his natal Venus favorably positioned to his natal Mercury, Mars, Uranus and Moon there is absolutely no doubt that the man is a sensual lover but which way does he swim. I'd have to say both - Orlando has a deep passionate nature and needs variety when it comes to the romance department. With his natal Saturn in Leo square his natal Jupiter in Taurus and his natal Uranus in Scorpio there is a little uncertainty and confusion regarding who, where, when and what he likes but the bottom line is - if someone turns this young man on he's going to venture down the path to see where it leads.
Orlando was also born with his natal Venus adversely positioned to his natal Neptune and this can also bring about a wee bit of sorrow when it comes to love so whether he is breaking hearts or having his broken quite often his relationships will end in some unfortunate manner. On the whole Orlando has what I consider to be a pretty decent chart. He has lots of opportunity and is quite able to take advantage of whatever is offered along the way. He is amicable and will get along with just about everyone. Orlando lands on his feet and for every difficult aspect that he has in his chart there is another to counteract that making him lucky in life however on the down side the man is what I would consider to be extremely accident prone with his natal Mars and Mercury adversely positioned to his natal Pluto and this can be a problem especially if he wants to do his own stunts.
My advice to Orlando is to get a double and leave the dangerous stuff to the experts. Orlando has a great couple of years ahead of him as long as he can avoid injury. This will be a make it to the next level of stardom or mend your broken body and miss out sort of period. Let's hope that this fine actor is clever enough - and he should be with his natal Mercury well positioned to his natal Uranus - to leave his ego at the door and give in to letting someone else take the risks.

Toronto Raptors Coaching Search

Well what can I say, I'm a Raptors fan and I just want the best for our purple poppers. Out of the six candidates to coach Vince and his teammates I managed to get the birth dates for four, those being Aquarius Kevin O'Neill, Aries Mike Woodson, Aries Dwane Casey and Virgo Sidney Moncrief. Not being able to find any information on Brian James, Craig Neal or P.J. Carlesimo was a bit of a drag but hey you work with what you've got and you do your best. So, on to who should coach the Raptors...

Well after taking a look and sizing each candidate up to the one and only Aquarius Vince Carter there was really only one choice and that was the ever so demanding perfectionist Sidney Moncrief.

Before taking a closer look at Sidney I'll quickly cover a few of the other candidates. Aquarian Kevin O'Neill is coming into a high cycle limitations are also heading his way. Now that could mean that he is saddled with a team that he can't motivate so hopefully it won't be the Raptors. In some ways he is a little too much like Vince Carter and that could lead to bumping of heads or a complacency that does not do the team any good. Not a great match for the golden boy and lets face it if the new coach doesn't turn Vince on he probably won't do much for the rest of the team either.
On to Dwane Casey - it's obvious that he is going to be fooling himself and bamboozled by others over the course of the next two years. Although he would probably get along with Vince his vision will not be clear and that can lead to mistakes.
So what about Mike Woodson - well probably the worst match for Vince so why bother even going there which takes me back to Sidney who is by far the one who can motivate and drive this team and Vince back to where they belong and that's a first class basketball organization.
Over the past two years Moncrief has gone through his trials and tribulations which I might add are coming to an end on June 11th and at that time Moncrief will be moving into a very opportunistic period coupled with broad vision, strength, stamina and what it takes to push himself and everyone around him to glory. He has a do-or-die attitude and will not stop at anything short of being number one. Sidney must not be underestimated, with his natal Saturn squaring his natal Pluto and Mercury he may not be one to say he'll do this and that but he will be one to take action and show everyone what he can do. Keep in mind when you are picking your next coach that actions do and will speak louder than words.

Denzel Washington based on December 28, 1954 Mount Vernon, NY

I received a request to take a look at Denzel Washington's chart and although to date I haven't written about this particular Capricorn it isn't because I am not a big fan but more so because he is such a private sort of individual who is loyal and true blue. He loves what he does for a living but he is not a man who flaunts his superstardom nor does he venture far from his family who mean the absolute most to him.
Denzel doesn't fit your normal Hollywood image with his natal Sun and Mercury in the hardworking sign Capricorn and Saturn and Venus in the dedicated sign Scorpio. Washington also has his natal Jupiter and Uranus in the nurturing homebody sign Cancer with his Moon in an area of his chart that deals with family making his private life that much more precious to him. Denzel is coming into a period that will be a little difficult for him over the next two and a half years but not because he won't do well or continue to thrill his fans. It will probably be more so due to the lack of time he has to spend with his family because he is in such hot demand. For Denzel it will be hard choices that will involve his work and his personal life interfering with one another.
All that said, with his strength of character and his do or die attitude I'm sure that he will figure a way to satisfy both aspects of his life however should he discover that his personal life is suffering you can bet that he will take time out to rectify any problem that he or anyone in his family faces. Denzel is a man of his word and he will not give up on anything or anyone he deeply cares for. Denzel isn't the least bit conceited and he doesn't think he's better than anyone else but he does prefer to stay out of the limelight unless it has to do with his professional advancement.

Ray Ramano based on Ray Ramano, December 21, 1957, Queens, NYJune

What's up with Ray? Is his cusp born birth date confusing him or something? Although his Sun does fall at the very tail end of the sign Sagittarius you have to know that his Capricorn Moon and Mercury must be bringing the Goat characteristics to the surface especially with Saturn swiftly moving opposite his Sun sign and Ray feeling a little greedy while contract renewals are flying across the boardroom table in Tinsel town.
On the positive side Ray will probably be back for another season but not without causing some friction along the way. With transiting Saturn favorably aspecting his natal Jupiter and Neptune his creative side coupled with opportunities will flourish however on the negative side with that same planet opposite his natal Sun, Moon and Mercury over the next year limitations, frustrations and some depression will result if he has caused some hard feelings along the way with his co-workers.
Ray was born with his natal Pluto well positioned to his natal Moon and Mercury in Capricorn and his natal Neptune in Scorpio and this gives him a strong sense of who he is and what he can do. Currently with his natal Venus in Aquarius opposite his natal Uranus in Leo and transiting Neptune in Aquarius I believe that he is going through a period of confusion and this can lead him astray. It will be important for him to get some sound advice from someone he can truly trust over the course of the next couple of years or he could make some mistakes that he will regret later.
With all the positive aspects in his natal chart you know that he will probably land on his feet but at what expense is the question. With his natal Venus and Neptune at an adverse position to one another sorrow will surface somewhere, somehow and with someone. For Ray I suggest that he keeps his head on his shoulders and he doesn't underestimate those around him. He should get everything in writing and he must not be too quick to take a leap of faith that may be built on empty promises.

Angelina Jolie based June 4, 1975, Los Angeles, CA

Although I don't believe it was all that long ago that I featured Gemini born Angelina Jolie, a big request came in to do so once again from a very ardent fan. So what's Angelina all about, well yes she does have her natal Sun and Mercury in the sign of the twins but her chart blazes with lots of fire and air. Her Moon, Mars and Jupiter are in the sign Aries and Uranus and Pluto are in Libra with Neptune in Sagittarius now that's powerful stuff. Flighty and a bit of a space cadet one might think, but hold on, two very important planets Venus and Saturn and Jolie's rising sign are all in the moody, sensuous and sultry sign Cancer. What does all this mean, well to begin with there is definitely a very caring and emotional side to Jolie. She has the capacity to love deeply and to nurture unconditionally but when someone breaks trust or her code of ethics with all that fire and air in her chart you better believe that she can do a complete reversal.
There is no doubt that Angelina is talented and that she didn't just get into the film industry because her parents are Jon Voight and Marcheline Bertrand. With her natal Moon, Mars and Jupiter in her ninth house well aspected to her natal Neptune in her fifth house of creativity there is no taking away from the fact that she was born with the goods that would take her to the top of an industry that she adores. With her natal Mercury and Sun in Gemini also well aspected to her planets in Aries and those in Libra yes the girl was born with a great chart that is perfect for acting and taking any creative direction that she might choose but never expect what she does, thinks or pursues to be orthodox. Jolie doesn't operate that way. So what's wrong with her chart after all it can't be perfect. Well it isn't and the crux of the matter is that the very area that she is most sensitive about (her private life, her love life) is not the most favorably positioned. With her natal Saturn and Venus in Cancer adversely positioned to her natal Uranus, Jupiter and the Moon you can bet that when it comes to home, family and love life many things go array. For Jolie she is bound to have many loves and many losses. She attracts unpredictable partners and can fall in and out of love very suddenly herself not leaving much room for longevity when it comes to relationships.
For Jolie it will be important that she picks the right partner if she wants it to last and of course my suggestion for her is to get the best astrological compatibility advice on the market before she makes another commitment that will lead to tattoos and other proof of her undying love. It's obvious that she falls deeply and head over hills in love but usually it's with the wrong person.

Monica Lewinski based on July 23, 1973

Monica is back on top. Attention seeking Leo born Lewinsky is hosting a new show called Mr. Personality and I guess she got that position due to her superb qualifications. After all she chose the charismatic former President Clinton as her Mr. Personality and there is know denying that he was all that and more. Monica is a Leo by sun sign but she also has Cancer, and Libra strongly placed in her natal chart.
She does act and love like your typical Leo but when it comes to the way she thinks it's the sign Cancer all the way and with her Moon in Taurus that just confirms that she isn't as much of a party girl as people would like to imagine. Monica is proud, thoughtful and can be quite the diplomat when necessary. She is creative with her natal Neptune well aspected to her natal Sun but when it comes right down to it she's not so lucky in love. With her natal Venus square her natal Neptune this femme fatal does tend to pick a sorrowful path to follow and although she may do just fine helping others find love I believe that she will have trouble when it comes to her own life. Now I'm not saying Monica can't find love but it is likely that she will have to work hard at any relationship she gets involved in if she wants it to last.
For Lewinsky this is a good year to get serious and to find someone who can sweep her off her feet. Come August of this year she will be in a very high cycle regarding relationships and this should help to take whatever liaison she is in to the next level. I also believe that as ambitious as this Leo is she is also interested in finding solid and secure ground through marriage, children and family. Monica is going through her Saturn return over the course of the next six weeks and that means she is reevaluating her life up to this point. I believe that she will discover what it is she really wants to do and to be. Most of all I believe that this almost thirty Leo wants to be loved and respected for who she is and what she does. Who knows maybe the vivacious Lewinsky will discover that helping others to find love will fatefully result in finding her own true love.
