Rest In Love, Peace And Soul, Don Cornelius
“And you can bet your last money, it’s all gonna be a stone gas, honey! I’m Don Cornelius, and as always in parting, we wish you love, peace and soul!”
–Don Cornelius, Soul Train
Don Cornelius died this morning from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Cornelius was the series creator as well as host, writer and producer of “Soul Train” from its inception in 1970 until 1993. Previously Cornelius was a radio sports and news reporter and disc jockey in Chicago, the city where “Soul Train” got its start. The show was originally sponsored by Sears and Roebuck. “Soul Train” brought Soul and R&B music to a national audience through national syndication, and had a profound effect on popular culture in mainstreaming the music, fashion and dance of African-American youth culture.

The Astrology Of Celebrity Crushes: John Goodman
“Pardon me for loitering in front of an orchestra.”
–John Goodman
I was talking with a client about the astrology of attractive celebrities, just chat, a tangent, but it got me to thinking. Analyzing the charts of celebrities, often because of characters we find attractive, is a good way to sort through and categorize certain traits that activate us. While a public person we have no contact with stimulates something in us, their charts interact with ours, we have no impact on them. This makes for a good way to investigate our own issues with attraction.

The Astrology Of Stephen King
“People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy… and I keep it in a jar on my desk.”
–Stephen King
I consider Stephen King to be the Shakespeare of our times. Like Shakespeare he is heartily appreciated by the masses and the validity of his writing is often undermined by its popularity. Most people who have never read his books are aware of his writing through popular movies made from the books. What is not so widely known is his ability to craft whole and beautiful characters within the framework of his often creepy stories.

Astrology And Fashion: Celebs And Their Style- Anna Paquin
Astrology and Style
Leo Anna Paquin has shown herself to be a talented actress since winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at the young age of 11 for the movie “Piano.” With Sun and Mercury conjunct in Leo Anna has the dramatic flair one would expect from such placements. An understanding of how to bring a character to life would be second nature for someone with Leo Sun and Mercury conjunct and we would expect the individual to be creative when it comes to stories as well.

Astrology And Fashion: Celebs And Their Style- Anne Hathaway
Astrology and Fashion
In honor of the 2011 Oscars I will profile host Anne Hathaway. Anne is a strong Scorpio with a stellium in Scorpio in her 11th house just reaching out to people! The stellium includes the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Jupiter all in Scorpio. Anne’s chart is also powerful when we see that it is a wheel shape that includes houses 10th, 11th, 12th and 1st with Mars leading the way in the first house in Capricorn. This Mars placement would make Anne very concerned and energetic about her career and she has shown that in her working steadily these years and building her cachet of films, personality in public and her overall image in the public eye. Mars in Capricorn would be very concerned how they play out in public and Anne has the help of stylists that can make or break a person’s public image and probably a press agent as well.

Astrology And Fashion: Celebs And Their Style- Kim Kardashian by Annalisa
Astrology and Style
Today I enter into the realm of “reality television” in order to touch upon all types of celebrities and fame. The phenomenon that is Kim Kardashian’s popularity is easy to explain and to see in her chart while we consider what appeals to everyday people. In the realm of “reality stars” we consider what people can relate to and what they have become interested in with regard to knowing other people’s “business.” Kim has cashed in on this public interest with great skill.

Astrology And Fashion: Celebs And Their Style- Michelle Obama by Annalisa
Astrology and Style
Michelle Obama is a Capricorn Sun with a Pisces Moon. Her Capricorn Sun is joined by Mercury in Capricorn and they are supported by Uranus and Pluto in Virgo. With an emphasis on Earth signs, Michelle is somewhat conservative in her style and what interests her. With Capricorn so prominent in the chart there is an interest in public leadership. Michelle also has a strong Pisces presence in her chart with Pisces Moon and Venus conjunct. Her Pisces sensibilities show in her style of life and person and are as visible as her Earth leanings.

Cartoonist Gary Larson – Quit While You’re On Top
Astrology in real life
I have always admired Gary Larson. I think his cartoons are hysterical but beyond that he retired at the top of his game in the 90′s, without ceremony. He felt his work was becoming repetitive and did not to enter what he called the, “Graveyard of Mediocre Cartoons”.
This suits his chart to a T. Mr. Larson is a Leo with his Sun conjunct Pluto so there you have the both the cut-off of his creativity and the graveyard reference. He has a Virgo Moon, with Saturn conjunct Mercury in Virgo which would denote an exacting standard and I have no problem relating.
While I have never reached the level of Mr. Larson’s success, I have quit everything I have every quit at the pinnacle of whatever success I did manage for a similar reason. My heart just wasn’t in the thing anymore and I did not want to perform subpar.
What do you think? Quit while you’re on top or ride the thing down?
Astrology And Fashion: Celebs And Their Style- Kathy Bates by Annalisa
Astrology and Style
Kathy Bates is a very talented actor with Sun, Venus and Mercury in Cancer. An artist in her own right, she seems to understand the undercurrents in her character roles and helping her do this is her Moon in watery Pisces complimenting her Cancer stellium. Kathy has knocked out a variety of roles while keeping her nose to the ground turning out excellent performances with a work ethic that comes from Virgo rising and Mars in Virgo. With such an emphasis on Virgo in the chart of a Cancer Sun and stellium, Kathy is not only a hard-worker but a thinking actor who cares about the nuances of the characters she plays, bringing a depth to each role that is admirable.

Astrology And Fashion: Celebs And Their Style- Elizabeth Taylor by Annalisa
Astrology and Style
When one thinks of Pisces actresses Elizabeth Taylor is often mentioned. This is due to the life that Liz has led and the talent she has shown as an actor all while showing herself to be sensitive and to some, fragile. Often a Pisces is seen as fragile and due to their sensitivities there is some truth to that perception. A Pisces, however, is also a strong person in their ability to transcend and recover and Elizabeth is also proof of these traits. Elizabeth’s chart shows us a map of her life and her lifestyle. With Sun, Mercury and Mars trine Scorpio Moon, Liz is a passionate actress with great talent for drama who is able to transcend herself and become a person that seems to be the character she is portraying. Her Pluto in Cancer also provides her the ability to understand emotion and is also trine her Scorpio Moon lending it power. Liz has shown herself to be not only passionate on screen but also powerful in performance.
