Beyoncé’s new double album, ‘I Am … Sasha Fierce,’ is the work of two artists. On one side, the refined megastar we all know simply as Beyoncé. On the other, a brash, sexy newcomer named, you guessed it, Sasha Fierce. Surprise — they’re the same person! As Beyoncé puts it, “Sasha Fierce is the fun, more sensual, more aggressive, more outspoken, more glamorous side that comes out … when I’m on the stage.”

Born September 4, 1981, Beyonce Giselle Knowles has her sun in Virgo and Moon in Scorpio. Because we lack a birth time, we do not know which house these planets fall in her chart. However, both Virgo and Scorpio are known as “quiet” signs. The natural tendency of the individual is to be reflective rather than outgoing.

Balancing this energy is many planets is the sociable sign of Libra, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter, Venus and Pluto, which drives Beyonce to be “”out there” forming connections with others. These planets are in the harmonious energetic connection called a trine to her planet of action, Mars in the leadership sign of Leo.

We heard about Joe the Plumber as an aftermath of the Obama/McCain debate, and now as a result of the David Letterman’s pointed questions of John McCain, the most infamous of the “Washington Plumbers”, G. Gordon Liddy, is in the news again.

In the autobiography of Liddy, titled “Will” the blurb describes him thus:

From soldier to Washington insider; from a prisoner who preferred the walls of a prison rather than the betrayal of his principles; to a writer and top radio personality, G. Gordon Liddy is a hero to some, a villain to others, but always an enigma.

For those who weren’t paying attention in history class, Liddy played a seminal role in the Watergate break-in of the Democratic National Campaign Headquarters. the cover-up of which, ultimately lead the only resignation of a United States president, Richard Nixon’s.

In 1971, after serving in several positions in the Nixon administration, Liddy was moved to Nixon’s 1972 campaign, the Committee to Re-elect the President (officially known as “CRP” but to opponents known as CREEP), in order to extend the scope and reach of the White House “Plumbers” unit, which had been created in response to various damaging leaks of information to the press. At CRP, Liddy concocted several plots, some far-fetched, intended to embarrass the Democratic opposition. Most of Liddy’s ideas were rejected, but a few were given the go ahead by Nixon Administration officials, including the break-in at Daniel Ellsberg’s psychiatrist’s office. Ellsberg had leaked the Pentagon Papers to the New York Times.[4] At some point, Liddy was instructed to break into the Democratic National Committee offices in the Watergate Hotel. For his role in Watergate, which he coordinated with Hunt, Liddy was convicted of conspiracy, burglary and illegal wiretapping, and received a 20-year sentence. He served a total of five and half years in prison, including over 100 days in solitary confinement, before his sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter and he was released on September 7, 1977.

Liddy is know for his refusal to talk about the Watergate operation despite that people below and above him were singing like canaries to save themselves. It was a soldier’s viewpoint, and lest we forget, our armed forces turn out troops everyday with that same viewpoint. Destroy the enemy, protect your unit, protect yourself, survive.

To be sure Liddy has a view of American politics and the political system that is divergent with the average American’s view. It is clear, especially from interviews that he views the Democratic party as the enemy which is actively working to destroy the U. S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. What makes this Liddy’s working view of the Universe? What can astrology tell us?

A reader asked:

Could you please make a update on Britney Spears. She seems to on the road to recovery and finally getting along with her family. She is going to have a new album out this year so I wonder if she will be able to make a succesful comeback? And will she regain custody of her kids and find a new love and settle down?

The pop diva’s meltdown on the heels of her divorce from Kevin Federline and subsequent child custody proceedings may have been a blessing in disguise. Her increasingly bizarre behavior forced her father to intervene in his adult daughter’s life. Under his stewardship, Britney was diagnosed and received needed treatment for bipolar disorder. Those who have not had to deal with a bipolar family member do not know the heartache of watching a loved one suffer from the extreme mood swings, irrational rage and unfathomable behavior that its victims suffer.

Britney needs to dispose of what is a seemingly minor traffic accident turned into a small prosecutorial nightmare. In August 2007 she nicked a car in a parking lot and drove away. An insurance matter right? Wrong. The Californian authorities determined that Britney was driving without a proper California driver’s license and want to make an example of her. Last month, her lawyer rejected a plea bargain which would have put Britney on a year’s probation.

In what the victim’s family characterizes as “senseless act of unbelievable cruelty”, award winning actor Shelley Malil, most recently noted for his supporting role in “The Forty Year Old Virgin”, was arrested and arraigned for the brutal stabbing attack of single mother Kendra Beebe.

His arraignment [was] scheduled for 8 a.m. Wednesday. Authorities said there was no immediate motive for the attack, but Brust’s statement said: “Malil and the victim had apparently been in a dating relationship which recently ended.”

Police were summoned to a San Marcos residence when neighbors reported hearing glass breaking and a woman screaming for help.

Why does everyone, including Rielle Hunter, seem to be in denial about who she is? For a woman who for many years was a “seeker of truth” and even started a production company purported to be “committed to projects that reveal truth” anything but seems to be spun about her story.

John Edwards is suffering some perhaps well deserved vilification for recently confimining the story that the National Enquirer and blogs such as Death By 1000 Papercuts been pursuing for months, that he had an affair with novice filmmaker and former party girl Rielle Hunter.

He says of the affair:

“I got some acclaim as a lawyer. . . then I went from being a young senator to being considered for vice president, running for president … becoming a national public figure, all of which fed a self-focus, an egotism, a narcissism that leads you to believe you can do whatever you want, you’re invincible and there will be no consequences. And nothing could be further from the truth.”

So what is the story? Is 50 Cent obsessed with his Baby’s Mama? Did he burn down his house? Or did she? What does astrology have to tell us?

It’s all Monica’s fault at Astrology Mundo, getting me started again on Sedna. There she posted about Tatum’s O’Neils drug arrest. For those of us that remember, Tatum O’Neal wowed us with her Oscar awarding winning performance in the hit movie “Paper Moon” when she was only eight years old. Surely, we thought, that the child with the movie star pedigree and the talent to prove it would be a major star in the years to come.

It didn’t happen.

One Obama supporter on the Official Obama website says:

About “likeability”, Obama outshines all of the other candidates when it comes to likeability.  As far as I am concerned that quality speaks volumes about a person when it comes to leadership.

And according to a Quinnipiac University poll:

In deciding on how to vote for President, a candidate’s “likeable personality” is “very important” or “somewhat important,” 77 percent of voters tell the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University poll.

The same was true in the 2000 Presidential Campaign:

For all the layers of difference between the Republican governor and Democratic foe Al Gore and their competing policy initiatives, Bush strategists at this week’s political coming-out party in Philadelphia believe the election could come down to personality, not policy.

“Bush comes across as someone who is straightforward and plainspoken, someone who is approachable and likable,” said Karl Rove, his chief political strategist.

As governor, Bush has exuded confidence in his ability to win people over, one by one, by sheer force of personality. He won over many Texas legislators by playing down his patrician roots, popping into their offices unannounced just to shoot the breeze

.

And when it comes to similarities, Obama shares them with our current president.

Our next block buster movie is on the horizon. Let’s take a look at the fictional life and times of Indiana Jones. and the astrology of the swashbuckling archaeologist’s complex psychology. He is not your usual Sun sign Cancer!

Here is a little bit about the movie and Jones as he is portrayed in it:

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has the bullwhip-wielding hero up against Soviet bad guys led by a black-wigged Cate Blanchett as Irma Spalko, leader of the Soviet army’s quest for the Crystal Skull.

Marion Ravenwood, Indy’s girlfriend from Raiders of the Lost Ark, is back - played again by Karen Allen - and together they find themselves in the South American jungle encountering quicksand, amphibious vehicles, Ugha warriors, giant ants and a massive python.

Indy’s sidekick this time is played by 21-year-old Shia LaBeouf, star of last year’s Transformers. LaBeouf adopts a punk-rebel persona as Mutt Williams, a leather-jacketed, switchblade-carrying, motorcycling adventurer, who may or may not be Indy and Marion’s son.

Dan Rather fired off a new lawsuit against his former network Tuesday, charging that CBS News labeled the anchor “too hot to handle” and prevented him from being hired by other networks after his acrimonious departure.

Sun sign Scorpio Dan Rather’s penchant for digging to the heart of the story, of going into territory never attempted before, of graphically illustrating how events around around the world effected the American viewer not only got him into hot water more than once during his thirty seven year career, but proved him to be an icon of investigative journalism.

Among other things, his tough coverage of the Nixon Administrations’ Watergate scandal drew criticisms of biased reporting. Because forceful and skeptical reporting of the Iran-Contra affair, Presidents’ Bush Senior and Junior refused to grant him interviews during their presidencies. He has alleged that Fox News received “talking points” from the Republican controlled White House, though he has been criticized for having no proof for this claim. The end of his career at CBS came on the heels of his critical story of George W. Bush’s National Guard service record, where it was alleged that the source documents for the story were forgeries. Though Rather, on air, retracted the story, he on a Larry King interview said, “Nobody has proved that they were fraudulent, much less a forgery. … The truth of this story stands up to this day.”

Rather has said that “You can’t be a good reporter and not regularly be involved in some kind of controversy.”

What does astrology tell us of the makeup of the man? Why is he such a persistent fighter?

While Barack Obama has spent considerable time positioning himself as the candidate that bridges differences and brings together diverse segments of the Democratic party, his association with the controversial Reverend Wright has tainted this image. After twenty years being a member of the Wright’s congregation and having said publicly that Wright was “like a family member”, he now says that “The person I saw yesterday [during Wright's recent public appearances] was not the person that I met 20 years ago.”

Wright counters with “If Senator Obama did not say what he said, he would never get elected”, adding more fuel to the fire by insinuating that Obama’s denouncements are politically motivated. He made the rounds of various talk shows, stating that his remarks were misunderstood and taken out of context. That was before he went before the National Press Club and blamed the government in creating HIV as a biological weapon to destroy people of color.

Yet beyond the war of words between a presidential candidate and the man who ministered to his spiritual needs for two decades is the simmering issue of race relations. It is a powder keg issue, especially since one of issues is the root cause of racism.

Wright, in a much publicized YouTube clip says unequivocally that:

People have to put up with who cares what a poor black man has to face every day in a country controlled by rich white people

laying squarely on the white segment of the human race the plight of people of color, despite a PEW poll that reports that a majority of black people say that regardless of the race of an individual, a black person can make it in America.

What does astrology have to say about Reverend Wright and why he views the world as he does?

Rob Lowe has decided that the best defense is a good offense when in comes to a battle with former employees. Rowe alleges that one employee demanded a million and half dollars by April 11, or she would go to the press with her story of an alleged affair and sexual harassment. In response, Lowe filed a million and half dollar lawsuit against his former nanny and posted a blog post on Huffington Post explaining the reason for his action.

Lowe is gun shy, having scandal damage his career before. In 1988 he was caught on tape having sex with two women he met in a bar, one of whom was underage. Eventually he went into rehab for alcohol and sex addiction and says he has maintained his sobriety for eighteen years.

However, it is unusual for Hollywood celebrities to file lawsuits against former employees. Lowe’s lawyer says this about the situation:

“You either succumb to their request or you fight back, and I think Rob felt that it was appropriate to, when improper things are said about him, to fight back.”

Is this the right tactic for Rob Lowe to take? What can astrology tell us about the situation?

Bon Jovie’s Ritchie Sambora had a recent brush with the law.

Sambora was pulled over by police in Laguna Beach, Calif., late on Tuesday after they observed him driving erratically, according to TMZ.com. Sambora reportedly failed numerous field sobriety tests and was detained for DUI.

The musician was admitted to rehab last year following a battle with alcoholism, which, among other factors, was sparked by his deteriorating marriage to actress Heather Locklear and the ailing health of his dad.

He spent a stint at celebrity rehab facility the Cirque Lodge in Utah months after completing a detox at the UCLA Medical Center.

In the car was his 10 year old daughter, another child and another unidentified adult.

Though TMZ has posted that Sambora might be cleared of DUI since his voluntary alcohol test might show a alcohol level below the legal limit, there is some sort of problem that caused him to drive erratically and cause him to fail field sobriety tests.

Gifts as songwriter and guitarist has earned him wealth and fame, but like so many celebrities, he has had trouble controlling his substance abuse problems. He has been in and out of rehab twice. What can astrology tell us about this man and his problems with substance abuse?
