I'm happy. But there's happiness and there's love, and then there's completion

"We were just supposed to be together. It was a tough decision. I was physically getting sick because I was trying so hard not to say anything." That’s how Ellen speaks about her passionate love for Portia de Rossi. Ellen DeGeneres is an actress and TV talk show host. She's won several daytime Emmy awards, hosted the Grammy Awards in 2001 and the Oscars in 2007. Portia de Rossi is an actress who was born in Melbourne, Australia. She starred in Ally McBeal and Arrested Development. They have been in love since 2004, when de Rossi ran into DeGeneres at a photo shoot and fell in love with her at first sight. DeGeneres and de Rossi were married on August 16, 2008 in Los Angeles, where same-sex marriage was then legal.

DeGeneres was born on January 26, 1958. Her primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Fire Rooster. According to Chinese Astrology, she has a wry sense of humor. She goes about her work in the most efficient manner. At work or play enthusiasm characterizes her attitude, and it is infectious.

As for de Rossi, who was born on January 31, 1973, her Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign is the Water Rat. She is active, inquisitive, venturesome, and inventive. Her attractive Rat charm serves her well, as the Rat is typically a very sociable sign that enjoys parties and clubbing. However, the Rat is also really an intuitive and private person. Despite her gregarious appearance, only a few people are allowed into her inner circle. De Rossi knows how to cherish her loved ones dearly and will do almost anything for them.

According to de Rossi’s and DeGeneres’ Chinese Astrology love match reading, their final compatibility rating is 46%. Their good moments inevitably will be followed by challenging ones. This match can work as long as they both continue to feel the good times outweigh the bad.

For celebrities, love is very difficult to keep; for the same-sex celebrity couples, the pressures are even greater. DeGeneres and de Rossi must surely have overcome great obstacles and stresses before finally deciding to marry and live happily together as they do now. Chinese Astrology hopes that they can feel the love they share every day and ultimately find the greatest happiness. As de Rossi said eloquently, “I'm happy. But there's happiness and there's love, and then there's completion.”

When is the Best Time for the Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron Wedding?

Rising stars Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron met each other on the cast of Disney’s High School Musical three years ago, and may be tying the knot in a intimate wedding ceremony planned for this September.

Born December 14, 1988, Hudgens’ primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Earth Dragon. Her boyfriend, Zac Efron is the sign of the Fire Rabbit. According to Love March, as reported by OnlineChineseAstrology, their relationship could be mediocre match. The Love March report says that these signs aren't necessarily bad for each other, but they may not really good for each other either. This match will take a lot of compromise on both their parts to work.

Maybe the reason that we have these comments is because of their innate differences in personality. Efron, the Rabbit, tends to be conservative and enjoys the quiet life. He often promotes peace and harmony, while trying to avoid conflict and unpleasantness whenever possible. The Dragon sign is a karmic sign, which means Hudgens will experience more than a few extreme highs and lows during her life. Some Dragons are quixotic, or wildly unrealistic with their big plans. Others are simply all talk and show but no action.

Currently, both Hudgens and Efron express real excitement about their upcoming wedding. Because Hudgens has dreams of being married on a beach, they plan to hold a picture perfect wedding in Hawaii. So we can see, they may both overcome the obstacles to seek their destiny together.

According to their 2009 Personal Forecasts, September is expected to be 76% favorable for Efron and 40% favorable for Hudgens. For Efron’s part, this is indicative of a highly successful time to step outside of his comfortable existence and take bold steps towards his future. There would be no better time to consider, or even enter into marriage. As for Hudgens, Chinese Astrology predicts that her relationships should be embarked upon wholeheartedly and without reserve.

Chinese Astrology shows us some interesting insights into the two young stars' relationship, some things they perhaps don’t know themselves! If they are committed to tying the knot in spite of the challenges, September will be a best choice for marriage.

Lily Allen - the colorful British singer-song writer

Lily Allen is the colorful British singer-song writer best known for her popular songs “Smile,” “LDN” and “The Fear and Their Mockery.” Allen also hosts her own BBC Three talk show, Lily Allen and Friends. Her hit single "Smile" reached number one on the UK Singles Chart in July 2006. In December of the same year her debut album, Alright, Still, was voted the Number Three best album of the year by Mixmag. In 2007, it was nominated for Best British Album at the BRIT Awards and for Best New Artist at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. In 2008 the album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album. To date, Alright, Still has sold over 2,600,000 copies worldwide.

Allen was born May 2, 1985, a Taurus according to Western Astrology. The coming year will be one of sacrifices for her, but they will seem small next to the rewards she stands to reap, particularly in her finances. She will be creating a world of her own making with the goal of ensuring security for her loved ones, and her own future. Watching that security grow will be compensation enough for the lighthearted fun she will be passing up. With all this serious work, she will need to do all she can to carve out time for her creative side. For her health, making time for exercise will also be of utmost importance. But for Taureans like Allen, long walks on the beach or hiking miles in the forest or mountains are better replacements for treadmills and jogging. Nature provides Allen with both aerobic exercise and tranquility of mind.

According to Chinese Astrology Allen is represented by the Ox, who is not afraid of a challenge. She should embrace that role this year. Her willingness to be looked up to and desire to be respected for her qualities of personal stability and wisdom may be the force of major changes in her life and those around her. This won’t be the year of adrenalin-fueled passion at-first-kiss love for Allen, but her romantic life will be stable as she focuses on her other priorities. By November she will more energized than she has felt in a long time. Not only will she be in prime health, but her personal life will also have settled down and order will prevail in her household. In 2009 she will be admired for her ability to wield an iron fist with charming diplomacy in all her affairs.

Allen’s second album, It’s not Me, It’s You will be released in the U.K. and U.S. in February 2009. According to the Chinese Zodiac, one of the greatest strengths of the Ox sign is the ability to dream up schemes and plans, and also to follow them through. In 2009 this skill will surely continue to bring young Allen success in her music career and closer to the fulfillment of her dreams.

The Time Has Come for Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson has just announced plans to do a series of concerts in London.

In Jackson's brief speech, he said simply "This is it. My final performances in London. The final curtain call."

Thousands of screaming fans chanted "We love you, Michael." Jackson responded, "I love you too".

And that really was it. Jackson left the stage shortly after.

Michael Jackson’s birthday is August 29, 1958. In the Chinese Zodiac this means his primary personality traits are ruled by Earth Dog. The 2009 Forecast for the Dog indicates that Michael will have to face a number of challenges. The Earth Dog is very talented and astute. That’s why Michael’s knack for efficiency should allow him to prosper this year.

During this year of the Ox, work will play a large role for the Dog. Michael Jackson may find himself working long hours to achieve an enhanced status or to further his pursuits. Later in the year, he may be offered a step in the right direction. If he is able to remain focused and willing to listen to the good advice of others, he should have a promising year in his career.

Jackson’s open-ended tour of the United Kingdom will start with a show at London's O2 Arena on July 9. The show is expected to be the first of ten concert dates, and the tour could be extended to meet demand. Chinese Astrology hopes that his grande finale this year will be one worthy of the impact his career has made in the music world.

Paul McCartney’s show in 2009

Tickets for music icon Sir Paul McCartney’s upcoming show in Las Vegas sold out in just 7 seconds. That is an average rate of almost 600 seats per second, becoming the new record to beat for fastest selling show ever. Let’s consult Chinese Astrology to predict what a new year holds for this old member of The Beatles.

Paul McCartney was born June 18, 1942. His primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Water Horse. According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Water sign contributes an added fluidness to the already free-flowing Horse. This, coupled with the Horse's innate instinct to roam, often leads to indecision. A Water Horse like McCartney is the breed of Horse most likely to embark on many different activities without completing one. But on the positive side, his Water element makes him a remarkably appealing companion in any social setting, be it one-on-one, or as part of a large group. This trait was evident in the importance of his personal to The Beatles.

The legendary popularity of the Beatles, however, almost certainly contributes to to McCartney’s continued ability to sell tickets at record-breaking speed. Fittingly, his 2009 Personal Forecast also says that the Horse should take caution to maintain personal relationships in order to be successful in the year of the Ox. He should pay attention to the needs of those around him, and listen carefully.

The Horse sign may have a challenging year ahead. People born under McCartney’s sign may become frustrated with lack of progress in their career, but patience is advised; positive results are likely to be seen next year. Chinese Astrology indicates 32% favorable days for McCartney this year. He is a Water Horse in an Earth year; unfortunately Earth has a destructive relationship with Water. Since he was born under a Water sign, he may have to lower his expectations this year more than Horses born under other elements. He should hesitate before doing anything risky this year.

Chinese Astrology offers some advice to McCartney and others of the Water Horse sign. Work hard to steer yourself out of ruts in the coming year with healthy activities and other projects that keep you energized. Take comfort in your loved ones and friends who will provide support for you in times of need. Be open to trying new things, and heed the advice of others in the year of the Ox.

Marisa Miller: the return of the great American supermodel

Marisa Miller is an American model best known for her appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues and her work for lingerie retailer Victoria’s Secret. She has been a Victoria’s Secret Angel and graced the cover of the 2008 SI Swimsuit Issue to record sales, accomplishments that have led to her being hailed by Maxim magazine as the "return of the great American supermodel." She is also known for her contracts with companies like Harley-Davidson and for taking the #1 spot on Maxim's 2008 "Hot 100" list. Aside from modeling, she is an ambassador for the American Cancer Society.

Miller was born August 6, 1978. Her primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Earth Horse. Both the year of her birth and this year, 2009, are Earth years. This bodes well for the months to come. With her natural element in her corner ruling this year, the general atmosphere is likely to be one of relative comfort for her. She should feel at ease with the events and developments in her life. The Earth Horse has a tender and caring nature relative to other Horses born under other elements. One area of note, however, is a tendency to be indecisive.

According to Chinese Astrology, the Month of the Fire Rabbit (February 25 - March 26, 2009) is a fair one for Miller. Miller's personal forecast for this month is 27% favorable. The awkward relationship between the Horse and the Rabbit this month can create real challenges for the Horse. Being open to advice from those who have proven themselves in their areas of expertise will greatly enhance Miller’s knowledge and position. She may be accustomed to doing things independently, but asking for advice, seeking help, and being willing to listen could be beneficial at this time. With hard work and right decision making, Chinese Astrology sees this "great American supermodel" as poised to continue her rise during the coming year.

Shakira’s time to plan for a baby

In Arabic, the name “Shakira” means “woman full of grace,” a fitting name for this Latin-pop superstar. Shakira has revealed that she is not a “traditionalist” as she puts it. In a recent interview she dishes about babies, marriage, and a new album. Shakira has said that she wants lots of babies with boyfriend Antonio de la Rua. They have lived together happily for eight years without a wedding. Let’s consult Astrology to see how their love will fare this year!

Born February 2, 1977, Shakira’s primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Fire Dragon. De la Rua was born February 26, 1973 making his sign the Water Ox.

For March 2009, their Love rating is 18%. Their chances of success in love this month are poor, but they have more positive than negative factors in their overall chart comparisons. They both tend to be more comfortable using logic rather than following emotions alone. Although they don't have inherent conflicts and generally get along, they are two strong, stubborn people who will inevitably clash. In Chinese Astrology we observe that of all the elements, Shakira’s element of Fire has the most extreme impact in relationships. The impact can be for the good or the bad. Above all, Fire is animated and hot, drawing people in closer but also creating the potential for conflict. However, Chinese Astrology indicates that their sign mix is actually very positive. Their similarities and differences complement each other very well, which has enabled them to live peaceably together for such a long time; They're made for each other.

Chinese Astrology also indicates that Shakira might have the greatest potential for success at the mid-life. She is likely to have sufficient energy throughout her life to accomplish her goals. It is in her power to establish and nourish supportive relationships. This is also a good time for Shakira and de la Rua to evaluate their relationships and make sure they are supportive of each other’s goals. Between the two of them, they probably have the energy to achieve them.

This year could be a good time for the couple to raise a family, if that is their chosen path. Shakira will probably be best served by deepening her existing relationships, rather than creating many new ones this year. Basically, her continued success and happiness is up to her, achievable with hard work and wise choices. So, it could be the right time to plan for a baby. Chinese Astrology hopes to see the couple holding hands long into the future as a happy, loving family.

Would Kelly Clarkson’s Life Suck Without A Boyfriend?

Kelly Clarkson, 2002 American Idol, has just set a huge record on the Billboard Hot 100 with the biggest leap to No. 1 in the chart's 50-year history. Her hot single, "My Life Would Suck Without You," rocketed from #97 to #1 after selling 280,000 digital downloads in its first week of availability. The song is the first ever to make such massive leap. Let’s see if her life would really suck without a boyfriend?!

Born April 24, 1982, her primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Water Dog. According to Chinese Astrology, the Water Dog is the gentlest and most intuitive of the Dog family. She will tend to be popular at home and in group settings because she is a good communicator, using the spoken or written word, and sometimes both.

This year Clarkson’s 2009 Personal Forecast shows 52% favorable days, with five months favorable overall. Four months will be neutral and three months will be unfavorable. This year won’t be a bad one for Dogs, but will present a number of challenges. Clarkson’s patience will certainly be tested in more than one instance. Although Dogs and Oxen are far from bosom buddies, they can get along just fine as long as they stay out of each other’s way. In other words, her chances for personal success won't be foiled by the Ox’s influence.

Astrology indicates that Clarkson can achieve new levels in her relationships this year. People think highly of her, and she is a well-respected individual for her work ethic and devotion to her loved ones. She should focus on being more open to two-way communication; she may at times be unwilling to change her views, even when her partner has a valid point. If she can work on this issue, she will find her relations with family members and friends very gratifying in 2009.

Chinese Astrology predicts that a true, cozy, sweet and lasting love will show up toward the end of this year, in an interesting disguise. A seemingly ordinary colleague or old school acquaintance could turn up at some odd venue when she least expects it. Clarkson should welcome this unexpected charmer into her life. She will have earned the happiness he may bring. So, while her life wouldn’t suck without boyfriend, a new relationship development this year could make it far more interesting.

Chineseastrology check out one of the most hated and favorite judge of American Idol Simon Cowell

2009 personal forecast for Britney Spears

In 2008 the success of Circus really does signify Britney Spears’ triumphant return. Brit’s manager, Larry Rudolph, told The Associated Press "At the end of the day, I think she is America's pop princess, and the world's pop princess, and this just reconfirms it to everyone who doubted it," he said. "Professionally, she's feeling great. ... It's great for her to hear that she's got a #1 album again." Having sold over 505,000 copies in the United States in its first week, Circus debuted on the Billboard 200 at number one, making it Spears's fifth number-one album. The feat made Spears the only act in Nielsen SoundScan history to have four albums debut with 500,000 or more copies sold. Let’s follow Chinese Astrology to take a look at what would happen with Brit for the year 2009.

Britney was born on December 2, 1981. Her primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Metal Rooster. For this year, determination and diligence are two key aspects that put the Rooster over the top in 2009. This is a year for Britney to promote herself. Her ideas and talents will be highly regarded, and she will be recognized for past and present efforts. This year will certainly be a landmark for years to come, and she will remember it as one of the most productive times in her life.

In relationship Brit would find comfort in the support and encouragement of family members and friends alike. She would enjoy the company of others in many social functions and parties. Romance is highly favorable for Brit this year. Health issues are minor for the Rooster this year. She might have a problem maintaining the discipline of a steady routine. Being somewhat of a risk taker, she might want to try something new. Consider surfing or para-sailing to indulge her fancy. This year is a great year financially for our pop princess but to decrease risk she should receive professional advice for any large investments in unfamiliar areas.

According to Chinese Astrology, next year might be a wonderful year for Britney since she would continue her success from last year. This is a positive reading for Britney, as after many dark and terrible years, luck may have been come back with her.

Welcome to the month of the Fire Rabbit

This lovely creature, usually friendly, calm, and intelligent, can sometimes be reserved, even a little shy. Fire,however,adds magnetism and flair. The Rabbit is a heart sign, that is, someone who makes decisions based on emotions as opposed to logic. Therefore, expect this month to contain more emotional roller coasters than usual. Then again, that can be a needed relief since the year of the Ox in general tends to be a cold, insensitive one.

The Fire Rabbit has a thirst for action in life. Its element provides a certain excitement. On the other hand arrival of the normally unobtrusive Rabbit signals thirty days having a reduced chance of ardent confrontations or fights. Selfishness, however, may rise since the Rabbit loves living in comfort, putting its own luxury first. There may be some easy going, good times in store, which can be a change of pace from the hard working year of the Ox. Although the Rabbit is typically graceful and kind, it can sometimes be indifferent and even volatile. This can result in a gentler, more carefree time; nevertheless, it could cause pent up feelings and random outbursts.

Everything will be a little more flamboyant during the fiery reign of the Fire Rabbit. The Rabbit is notorious for going in style, so expect people to dress more elegantly than the rest of the year, but also look forward to added pizza thanks to ruling Fire. The Rabbit's influence can sometimes lead to rashness, but it should be tempered by the sturdy Ox. Overall, expect expect life to be spiced up with extra style and heightened emotions.

Note: The sign of the Rabbit is known as the Cat in some cultures, especially Vietnam.

Penelope Cruz: Chinese Astrology Forecast for Life After the Oscar

Penelope Cruz won the first Academy Award of the night at the Oscars last week, claiming Best Supporting Actress for her role as a tempestuous artist in Woody Allen's Spanish romance "Vicky Cristina Barcelona". The honor caps a big weekend for Cruz, who is fresh off her win Saturday for the same prize at the Spirit Awards, which pays tribute to independent films. Cruz is the first female Spanish actor to win an Oscar.

Born April 28, 1974, Cruz’s primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Wood Tiger. Let’s see what’s in the Chinese Astrology cards for this sexy Spanish star.

From the outset, this Earth Ox year may present some true challenges for the Tiger. The year of the Ox presents an overwhelming influence upon the untamed Tiger to maintain an uncharacteristically steady and well-disciplined pace. That is not to say that there won't be opportunities for great achievement. However, it would be more precise to say that this year will benefit the Tiger in the areas of experience, and laying a solid foundation for the long term. She will have to be resourceful.

It will be beneficial for Cruz to be cautious when it comes to career decisions in the Year of the Ox. This means she should think carefully before choosing new films. She should also be conscientious in her responsibilities and persistently impress her capabilities upon others, as this recognition will further her goals in the future.

In collecting her Academy Award, Cruz follows in the footsteps of her boyfriend Javier Bardem, who became the first Spanish actor to win an Oscar last year. Actually, her romantic relationship may be one of the more favorable areas of her life during the Year of the Ox. She can look forward to joyful times with her loved one. Perhaps Cruz’s and Bardem’s shared Oscar honors will contribute to their happiness together this year.

Cruz will not want to neglect the other relationships in her life, however. She should stay mindful that those around her hold her in high regard. This esteem is valuable to her, so she will not want to jeopardize these relations by dismissing others’ opinions, or by being too stubborn. If she maintains a healthy awareness and concern for the thoughts and feelings of other important figures in her life, her path will remain smooth.

For Cruz, and others born under the Wood Tiger sign, Chinese Astrology advises reliance on boldness and quick wit in the year of the Ox. Furthermore, this is not the time to disregard the views of those around you by being too independent or taking unnecessary risks.

The Asian pop princess in Chinese Astrology card

Boa Kwon, a young Korean singer, is attracting fame in the U.S.A. with her latest hit single Eat You Up. It was quickly successful in sales due in part to a strong online advertising campaign, and was a top breakout disc reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play chart—marking possibly the most successful debut into the U.S. music market by a Korean singer. A new English-language album will be released in March 2009.

Let’s see what Chinese Astrology has in store for Boa in the coming months. Born November 5th 1986, her primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Fire Tiger.

The Year of the Earth Ox 2009 may present some true challenges for the Tiger, but it would be more precise to say that this year will bring growth and experience to Tigers, laying a solid foundation for the years to come. People born under the Tiger sign will have to be resourceful this year, so Boa should rely on her boldness and quick wit as her allies in the year of the Ox.

Career-wise it will be beneficial for Tigers to be cautious in the coming year. Boa should stay keenly aware of the views of those around her, as this is not a year that favors too much independence of action, or taking any unnecessary risks. Persistence in her responsibilities this year and the favorable impression she makes others will lead to progress toward her future goals.

Boa’s 2009 Forecast warns that March will be a month to be careful about impulsive spending, as it could greatly affect her budget. Though March will only be 38% favorable for Boa, she should not anticipate serious problems. March is the month of the Earth Dragon, and the Dragon is known to add even more flare to the Tiger's impulsive nature. This could be most noticeable in fashion. She may show up at a release party slightly overdressed, but being the charismatic Tiger, this shouldn't be problematic.

Boa may find she needs to compromise on certain controversial opinions this year in order to avoid arguments that have no favorable solution. This may be a suitable time to release her new album if she heeds this advice, and we wish the Asian pop princess much continued successes in her American debut.
