Here is the first sign of the press (Jupiter) restraining (Capricorn) itself. From this article about Mr. Blackwell’s 48th annual worst-dressed list.

Victoria Beckham tops worst-dressed list

“…Missing from the list was Britney Spears, who has made it many times before.

“I felt that it was inappropriate at this time to make comment, when her personal life is in such upheaval. I hope 2008 is a better year for her,” Blackwell said.”

I almost fainted from relief. Finally some class. Leave it to an old man (Capricorn) to set the bar. I am inordinately happy about this and you?

A couple days ago George Clooney spoke about the paparazzi breaking laws and putting celebrities in danger…

“What they’re doing is illegal, its high speed chases and they’re competing with each other. They’re not trying to catch me doing something stupid, they’re trying to create me doing something stupid. You don’t get to break all these laws and then say ‘I’m just doing my job.’ The guys that commit all these crimes are rewarded for it. It creates bounty hunters in a way. “

“I am the son of an anchorman. I don’t want to restrict anyone’s rights. Take your pictures but don’t go 60 mph down a one way street. Don’t cause injury to people who aren’t involved.”

Who feels compassion for the people no one feels compassion for? In my experience, it is Scorpio, hands down. I have no idea how I would survive without Scorpio. I don’t think I’d manage. I have always been surrounded by people with copious amounts of Scorpio.

During the time I mentioned in the video, I was married to man with 5 planets in Scorpio. He had tremendous compassion for me. The AMF? Scorpio sun, part of a stellium in the sign, also tremendously compassionate. My friend, Ben? Scorpio Sun who sustained me single-handedly for 2 solid years.

My Scorpio rising daughter (Pluto conjunct) is tremendously compassionate, as is the soldier (Scorpio Moon Neptune) and my lifelong friend Leon (Scorpio Moon, part of stellium).

Remember Stevie? Supernaturally compassionate with her Moon, Venus, Neptune, rising in Scorpio.

HQ’s wife? She has a stellium in Scorpio and if you’re in her charge, she’s got your back like no one you can imagine.

Guess who came to Britney’s aid today? Scorpio, Julia Roberts!

Say what you will about Scorpio. When you live in the trenches the way I do you find out real fast who you can rely on. And they go to the dirty, icky, gross places no one else will even acknowledge exists and they will stay with your for the duration. I’ve had Scorpio process so much pain for me, it’s not even funny.

What about you? Do you agree?

Who feels compassion for the people no one feels compassion for?

Saturn is in Virgo…

Kadiya wrirtes:

I read your blog regularly and enjoy the insights and info you provide. While I have lots of respect for you, there is a little inconsistency that my 9th house Pluto in Libra needs to point out.

How is it that you can say for us to have compassion for Britney Spears when you yourself don’t have compassion for an individual who wrote you two times for advice in a similar situation. And I remember seeing the emails, the emails that you wrote, that said that other readers wouldn’t be able to relate to her situation….

I just want to say that I feel it’s a modern day stoning when it comes to this girl. Has everyone forgotten it’s not nice to hit people when they’re down? What does this public want? To drive her to suicide? Death by press?

Personally, I will be glad to see Jupiter hit Capricorn. You can see why Capricorn follows Sadge. Things just keep getting bigger and bigger with no restraint. I am so tired of big mouths making their money on the backs of these young girls. Responsibility (Capricorn) in publishing (Jupiter) coming soon, I hope.

Remember Albert, the Vedic, Western, Heliocentric Pet astrologer I introduced you to yesterday? Well he sent me a short piece on Britney Spears from a Heliocentric perspective and I threw it up on a xanga blog here:

Transiting Saturn’s Turbulent Synchronization with Mars and Neptune Strikes Britney Hard!! by Albert Stephens

Check him out and you’ll see what I mean about his compassion and pizazz. And how about some encouragement to help this guy get a blog going, you think? Because he has the same command and dexterity he demonstrates with his Heliocentric interpretations in this article with Western asrtrology or what he calls the “Vedic rendering” and I don’t know. I just think Albert needs a platform. You?
