Jon & Kate Gosselin's Divorce Papers Revealed!

2009-07-27T05:11:00.001-07:00

Jon and Kate Gosselin of TLC's "Jon & Kate Plus 8" are splitting up. The Gosselin divorce, after 10 years of marriage and eight kids, is nothing new in the world of reality TV, where romances have crumbled on and off camera. The question is, why? Let’s follow Chinese Astrology to figure out what’s wrong in the Gosselins' marriage.

Born March 28, 1975, Kate Gosselin's primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Wood Rabit. Her sense of calm and a modest, unassuming presence is just what is needed to smooth ruffled feathers. The Rabbit's love of peace can manifest itself in a somewhat negative way as a love of comfort. She may generally avoid any kind of confrontation, as much because it disturbs her peace of mind as because she is fundamentally a timid soul who withers under criticism.

Born April 1, 1977, Jon Gosselin's primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Fire Snake. Snakes spend a lot of time in their own heads, but they are not usually worriers. Rather, they pass their quiet time in reflection and contemplation. In fact there is always more to learn about the Snake. Just when you think you know the Snake, you find out he has developed a totally new interest. More often than not they enjoy their own company more than that of other people. They easily lose themselves in their thoughts and derive great pleasure from so doing.

As you can see from Jon's personality traits, he’s more likely to keep his thoughts secret than to want to share. That is clearly the beginning of their problems. According to Kate, "It's very uncomfortable at this point... Jon has a lot of anger toward me... I would love to discuss it with him, and he won't talk to me. That's the truth." As for Jon: "I wasn't always the greatest communicator, so I know that.” An inability to share their feelings for each other has certainly played a role in the destruction of their love.

According to their Chinese Zodiac readings, Jon and Kate Gosselin made a terrible match. As a rule, they each tend to have little tolerance for the behaviors that are characteristic of each other's signs. For example, they both probably have a rather sharp tongue, which isn't appreciated by the other. Although they both made an effort to understand their differences and to compromise occasionally, their relationship has nevertheless been pushed to its breaking point. Accusations of mutual infidelity, child labor violations, public spanking, and antisocial behavior by their kids due to poor parenting has brought the family to its limits.

Divorce is always tough and it will be extraordinarily so for Jon and Kate Gosselin's brood of eight - because there are so many children, and because the drama will be played out in the public eye and on television. The reassurance of a loving mom and dad will help the children to heal. Chinese Astrology hopes that the Gosselins can figure out the best way to protect their children and ensure that the remainder of their childhood is a happy one, since their mother and father will only be separately at their sides.

Born September 25, 1968, Smith's primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Earth Monkey. The Earth Monkey is the most reliable of the Monkey species. He is generous, and will be a promoter of at least one, or more, charities in which he displays a keen interest.

Kristen Stewart - I’m finding it hard to be suddenly famous.

2009-07-21T21:31:00.000-07:00

Kristen Stewart is an American film and television actress. She is known for roles in the films Catch That Kid, Panic Room, Zathura, In the Land of Women, Adventureland, Into the Wild, The Messengers, and Twilight. Recently, she was catapulted into the public eye when she was cast as the lead human in the cult teen vampire love story Twilight, released in November 2008. Stewart will be reprising her role as Bella in the sequel, New Moon, in 2009.

Born April 9, 1990, Kristin’s primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal, the Metal Horse. Her relatively cold, self reliant nature, coupled with the Horse's love of freedom, make her a difficult Horse to get close to. She has strong determination and will go far, as long as she can maintain focus. It is not unusual for Kristen to become an object of desire, as people are naturally attracted to those who do not appear easily accessible.

Her secondary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal signs, the Metal Dragon and the Wood Dragon. True grit, steely determination and unshakeable self confidence are the hallmarks of the Metal Dragon. She makes a fabulous ally and an extremely tough opponent. The Wood Dragon is generally more open minded than other Dragons, and in the field of art her tastes might even extend to the avant garde. If she can develop her practical side, she will be capable of great accomplishments.

"There's a reason [Kristen] is so big and up and coming," dished the talented Miss Melissa Leo. "She's first and foremost a very smart young lady. She has actually built a career for herself by the choices she's made." Chinese Astrology hopes that with her smart choices, she will be rewarded with much success in her future career.

Whitney Houston's Long-Awaited Comeback

2009-07-20T21:49:00.000-07:00

Whitney Houston remains one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 140 million albums and 50 million singles worldwide. She is ranked as the fourth best-selling female artist in the United States with 54 million certified albums. Known as "The Voice" for her "powerful, penetrating pop-gospel" vocals, she has been listed by Rolling Stone magazine as one of The 100 Greatest Singers of All Time. Houston has been cited as having been a formative influence among numerous contemporary R&B and pop music artists.

The singer's long-awaited comeback album, I Look To You, will be released September. 1st. As the record industry icon Clive Davis told MTV News, "You wait for the great songs to be written. The great hits Whitney has given to the public for so many years. You keep encouraging and setting the bar." Let consult Chinese Astrology to see whether Houston can expect success from her next album.

Born August 9, 1963, Houston's primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Water Rabbit. This is a very favorable year for the Rabbit in general, but the Water Rabbit specifically may experience situations that force her to take an introspective look at her ideas and motives. She may benefit greatly from taking bold new steps in her career. September and October are two months that are particularly favorable for a change. Astrology would advise Whitney to set her sights high to achieve her aims in this highly favorable year.

September is the most important month for Houston this year; this is also the time when her album will be released. This is a great choice, since Chinese astrology predicts that September will be an outstanding 76% favorable for the Water Rabbit. According to the Zodiac, this is an especially good time for Houston to step outside of her quiet and peaceful existence and take bold steps towards her future. Her career may be comfortable, but if she has been seeking an opportunity for promotion, now is the time to act.

We don't know whether or not Houston is a follower of Chinese Astrology, but her choice of September for the release of her long-anticipated album is consistent with what Chinese Astrology would strongly advise. Coincidental or not, it's definitely excellent timing for her to initiate a spectacular comeback.

Don't be surprised if I behave like a savage. I am a savage.

“I'll never be happy. I believe I'll die alone. I would want it that way. I've been a loner all my life with my secrets and my pain.” It is hard to imagine the person who spoke these words used to be ranked #16 on Ring Magazine's list of 100 greatest boxers of all time. He made US$30 million for several of his fights, and made $300 million during his career. And now? He seems to believe he has lost everything.

Born July 30, 1966, Mike Tyson’s primary personality traits are ruled by the elemental animal sign the Fire Horse. The Horse has been accused of being headstrong more than once. Add to this a stubborn streak and a hot temper; he can be difficult to be around. This uncontrollable nature was demonstrated at an early age; at 13 years old, Tyson had been arrested 38 times. He ended up at the Tryon School for Boys where his emerging boxing ability was discovered by Deshawn Stewart, a juvenile detention center counselor, and former boxer.

The Fire Horse is a sign that tends to either succeed or fail beyond the wildest expectations. It is a sign that is volatile in the extreme, and not afraid to take even the most dangerous risks. So when it came to boxing, Tyson the Fire Horse was a genius. He won his first 19 professional bouts by knockout, 12 in the first round. He unified the belts in the splintered heavyweight division in the late 1980s. He knew how to add excitement to our lives and the sport. For these reasons, the Fire Horse is also charismatic and a pleasure to be around when, he can control his temper and innate restlessness.

Often impatient and rash, the Fire Horse is especially prone to engage in impulsive behavior. In 1992, Tyson was convicted of raping Desiree Washington, for which he served three years in prison. He regained a portion of the heavyweight title, before losing it in 1996 to Evander Holyfield by an 11th round TKO. Their 1997 rematch ended in a shocking fashion as Tyson was disqualified for biting off Holyfield's ear. He fought for a championship again at age 35, losing by knockout to Lennox Lewis in 2002. Tyson retired from competitive boxing in 2005 after two consecutive knockout losses to Danny Williams and Kevin McBride.
After 25 years of his boxing life, Tyson admitted retrospectively that he had wanted to be “the champion, the arrogant champion, sitting on the throne and just ruling everything.” Is this his true nature, or has he changed? Either way, his words are marked with unmistakable pain, “My whole life has been a waste. I've been a failure. I just want to escape.”

Voice of an Angel

2009-04-29T08:01:00.000-07:00

Physical beauty is sure to fade, but a truly beautiful sprit is hard to blemish. We have long been accustomed to living in a world where beauty is primarily judged by outward attractiveness. So no one was expecting to witness beauty when they saw Susan Boyle’s appearance in Britain’s Got Talent when she sang “I Dream a Dream”. Before she sang, both the audience and the judges appeared to express skepticism based on her unpolished appearance and awkwardness. In contrast, her vocal performance was so stunning, she received a standing ovation from the live audience, garnering yes-votes from Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden, and the "biggest yes I have ever given anybody," from Piers Morgan. Her talent is unbelievable and it truly is wakeup call to an appearance-obsessed society.

Susan Boyle was born on April 1, 1961. According to the Chinese Zodiac, her primary personality traits are ruled by the elemental animal sign of Metal Ox. That makes Susan someone who can persevere on a path towards her goals regardless of the difficult obstacles placed in her way. Although she tends to be very independent and self-reliant herself, she nevertheless volunteers frequently to shoulder the burdens of those around her.

Combining Metal with Ox yields one determined person, and one of the strongest signs of the zodiac. She can be like Atlas and carry the weight of the world on those strong Ox shoulders, or she can be the bulldozer that knocks down every obstacle. She is probably not always diplomatic, and could have more than her share of personality conflicts. On the positive side, her tenacity and sense of responsibility is unmatched.

The viral videos of her television audition, subsequent interviews, and her rendition of Cry Me a River recorded for charity in 1999 have been viewed or listened to over 100 million times on the Internet.

What is so special about this newly famous lady lies in her naturalness and her confidence in her singing. People love her for being who she is and adore her for being such a role model in pursuing our dreams against the odds. Cowell is reported to be setting up a contract with Boyle and his company label, Syco Music, a subsidiary of Sony Music. Chinese Astrology hopes that her dream of becoming a professional singer will at last be fulfilled.

Johnny Depp Post-Pirates

2009-04-22T09:13:00.000-07:00

Johnny Depp is perhaps one of the most versatile Hollywood actors of his generation whose portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow in the acclaimed Pirates of the Caribbean represents only a small portion of his range.

Born June 9, 1963, Depp’s primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Water Rabbit. The Rabbit is usually somewhat detached. At times the world can seem too harsh and intimidating for Depp. Though highly successful now, Depp spent his early life as a rebel, and was linked to vandalism and narcotics. He dropped out of school when he was 15, and fronted a series of garage bands, including The Kids.

However, the Water Rabbit shows great sensitivity and constantly promotes harmony. As for Depp, he is kind and generous, almost to a fault, and it is easy to take advantage of his generosity. He tends to be friendly and easygoing, a joy to be around. It wouldn't be surprising if he were drawn to other artistic pursuits beyond acting, either as an active participant, or as a connoisseur.

Although he has gained popularity ever since his starring role in the successful Edward Scissorhands, Depp’s international fame did not peak until his portrayal of the suave, charming Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. The film's enormous success has opened several doors for his career, including an Oscar nomination. For 2009, he a number of filming plans in the works, including The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Public Enemies, Shantaram, and The Rum Diary. Chinese Astrology hopes these movies will boost his career to even greater heights.

Tina Fey's year

2009-04-16T07:02:00.000-07:00

The year 2008 was really Tina Fey’s year. She became TV’s new golden girl when she won three Emmy awards for her work on "30 Rock," her wicked take on the inner workings of a late-night TV show on NBC. Fey was selected by Barbara Walters as one of America's "10 most fascinating people of 2008". In addition to skyrocketing fame for her scathing impersonations of U.S. vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, she won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series in 2009. Is it all too fantastic for a 38 year-old girl? Let’s see what Chinese Astrology has to say about her life.

Fey was born May 18, 1970. Her primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Metal Dog. According to Chinese Astrology, in Fey’s early years things were often likely to go her way, but Dog-sign people tend to take a half-empty view of things, and she may not have seen it that way. Thus, even if her childhood was generally happy, she is likely to have experienced increasing anxiety as she began to more fully experience the world around her. In mid-life, a Dog sign like Fey has a penchant for nostalgia. She may often look back longingly on the “good old days” of the past, which could make her vulnerable to mid-life crisis.

When Fey was five years old and was playing in the front yard of her home, a stranger approached her and violently slashed her cheek with a knife. She has overcome the trauma and grew up a confident person, but, of the facial scar she has said, “It's really almost like I'm kind of able to forget about it, until I [see it] on-camera.” That fact is still in her mind so deeply that she worries the experience may one day affect her role as a mother to daughter Alice, 3, particularly when Alice gets to be the same age as Fey when she was attacked.

Adulthood is a very strong chi (energy) period for Fey and she has been presented with wonderful opportunities for success in both her professional and home life. This is the time she can attain her greatest achievements and build a solid foundation for her years to come. Here is the advice of Chinese Astrology for her: Fey should try not to let her mind wander back over the past any more and focus instead on her present career and family. Chinese Astrology hopes she will truly overcome and move beyond any bad or lingering memories that could hold her back in the present.

Jennifer Aniston in Life and Love

2009-04-13T11:08:00.001-07:00

She has starred in several comedic Hollywood films such as Bruce Almighty, Office Space, Rumor Has It, and in romantic comedies like Along Came Polly and The Break-Up. However, she has also appeared in films from other genres, such as the comedy-horror Leprechaun and the crime thriller Derailed. Recent films in which she played a starring role are Marley & Me and He's Just Not That into You, both released in 2008.

Born February 11, 1969, Aniston’s primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Earth Monkey. Of all the signs, the Monkey is most adept at putting a smile on others’ faces. She knows how to turn on the charm when she wants to, and that is most of the time. This ability seems to have served Aniston well as she just topped a new list of Hollywood’s Sexiest Women in the men’s magazine Details.

The Earth Monkey is the most reliable of the five types of Monkeys. This element lends Aniston a strong sense of generosity and , not unexpectedly, she displays a keen interest in a number of charities. She has contributed considerable time and money to causes and organizations such as the EB (Epidermolysis Bullosa) Medical Research Foundation that fights the life-threatening deformity, , GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), Habitat For Humanity, Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and Friends of El Faro, an orphans’ charity in Mexico.

According to Chinese Astrology, Aniston’s life could become very confusing in her mid-life, especially where romantic relationships are concerned. As Monkey signs often likes to play tricks on others, fate has a tendency to do the same to them. More than one of her life plans are likely to fail, or at least result in completely unexpected consequences. She will need to make good use of her wits to achieve success both in her career and her love life. Fortunately, wits are a strength that the Monkey has in abundance.

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

2009-03-31T09:14:00.000-07:00

"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?

2009-03-25T17:09:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-24T08:49:00.001-07:00

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

2009-03-23T13:04:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-18T08:42:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-17T09:02:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-16T06:46:00.000-07:00

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?

2009-03-11T10:09:00.000-07:00

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

2009-03-09T09:16:00.000-07:00

A new season of American Idol is coming, while waiting for the next American Idol, why don’t we check out one of the most hated and favorite judge of the show: Simon Cowell. Simon Cowell is an English artist and repertoire executive, television producer and entrepreneur. He is also the owner of the television production and music publising house Syco. As a judge, Simon is notorious for his unsparingly blunt and often controversial criticisms, insults and wisecracks about contestants and their singing abilities - or lack thereof.

Born in October 7, 1959 his primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Earth Pig. Being a social animal he has many opportunities to exhibit those qualities. He tends to be naturally happy. He is no punster, but he probably has a nice, earthy sense of humor. All in all, he is pleasant, cheerful, co operative and normally does well in group situations. Although it is true the Pig plays hard, and also works hard when work needs to be done. Simon also tends to be very resilient, not easily worn down by life's challenges. And, he is probably strong-willed.

Simon’s secondary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal signs, the Wood Dog and the Wood Rat. According to Chinese Zodiac, his sense of justice often causes him to make judgments about others and to criticize their actions or motivations. Furthermore, he sometimes rashly categorizes people and put them into little boxes. Having done that, he is not beyond giving severe tongue lashings to those that fall in the wrong box or those in the right box when they step out of line by his reckoning.

American Idol is still on the way, as many one said: “Sometimes the best part of “American Idol” is the latest sly comment from acerbic judge Simon Cowell.” Chinese Astrology hopes you have fun reading about Simon while waiting for the next American Idol show: The top 12.

2009 personal forecast for Britney Spears

2009-03-05T09:16:00.000-08:00

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

2009-03-04T05:43:00.000-08:00

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

2009-03-03T09:40:00.000-08:00

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

2009-03-02T10:00:00.000-08:00

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.

Lily Allen - the colorful British singer-song writer

Much has been written about the Ox in Chinese Astrology, both good and bad. To relate it all could take a 100 pages. For your convenience the information has been distilled to a very manageable amount. All Ox sign people (and years) will display these characteristics from a slightly to far above average degree.

Many factors, to include the signs of a person's month, day and hour of birth and overall element mix, go into determining to just what degree. These, plus the environment, also contribute to whether each trait generally manifests in a positive or negative sense. Persistence, for example, as (inspiring) determination is positive but negative as (excessive) stubbornness.

Here, then, is the Ox in a word, or rather several of them.

Authoritarian

Bigoted

Calm

Chauvinistic

Constant

Conventional

Dependable

Determined

Disciplined

Domineering

Down-to-earth

Fair

Firm

Goal-oriented

Hard-working

Humorless

Insensitive

Intolerant

Methodical

Patient

Perfectionistic

Persistent

Physical

Plodding

Precise

Rigid

Reliable

Sensible

Slow

Steadfast

Stubborn

Systematic

Traditional

True (to their word)

Understated

Unshakable

Since 2009 is The Year of the Ox, it's important for people to adjust their behavior to be in harmony with these traits, as they are the ones ruling the environment. This enhances probability of success, while opposing them achieves the opposite.

Astrology never lies

2009-02-24T11:36:00.000-08:00

Contrary to its detractors concerted opinion, Astrology is not superstition.
Superstition is more akin to: "If I break a mirror, I will have 7 years bad
luck." or "If a bird flies into my house, someone will die." or "If I step on a
sidewalk crack, I will break my mother's back." or "When It's Christmas and
the weather is warm, it will be cold at Easter."

Those are superstitions. Astrology is not superstition. Not even close.
Astrology is a language. It exists. Like Estonian or French. It just plain
exists. Like hard boiled eggs or chutney. Now, for some, languages that they
do not know and are unable to read or converse in, constitute a sort of threat.
When we hear friends chatting in a language that we don't know and we are
present, we almost automatically imagine that they are talking about us. This
is a kind of natural paranoia. We cannot understand. So we feel threatened or
left out and perhaps even targeted as a victim.

Astrology, like any language, does have to be learned in order to be used.
That's why some people are astrologers and other have other learnèd
professions such as doctors. An astrologer might tell you that your Sun in
Leo means that you tend to want to be in the spotlight, but if your rising sign
is Pisces, that Leo need for the spotlight might be mitigated.

This sort of "diagnosis" is not unsimilar to when a Dr tells you that the lump
on your arm looks like a cyst, but if the tests come out positive, it might be
something more serious. He looks at the cystic physical evidence, but he
also digs further to find out if it might be something more dangerous.

Now the language of Astrology has been much squelched and derided by a
sector of the population we refer to as "scientists" or , in any case, people
who believe that science (another language) is the pathway to understanding
every human ill - including mental, emotional and physical ailments - and to
conquering and refining and owning whatever commodity it available to
man. (Space flight for example or improved hard boiled eggs)

But squelching a language doesn't always put it out of existence. And
Astrology has survived the giant squelch of science and remains a means of
communication between peoples and a method of both diagnosing and
better understanding the human condition. Astrology is not in competition
with science. It's just there alongside it the way that TV is there alongside
the Internet. The two media must co-exist. They cannot afford to be at war.
The Internet will win. It's bigger. And younger. TV knows that the way that
Astrology knows that it must coexist with science because if there was a war
between them Science would win. It's bigger. And younger.

Nonetheless, there is wisdom in what it ancient. So Astrology continues to
exist. Some people study it and are able to use it in their work and daily
lives. Other people don't study it sufficiently to become astrologers. But they
dabble and they enjoy dabbling. Other people (most people) consult
astrologers. They are the clients or the patients or the consultees who come
to people like me for advice and information about their astrological charts:
Who am I? What should I do about my mother-in-law's interfering in my
marriage? How can I get a divorce and keep my children? Why do I not have
self-confidence? Where am I making my mistakes and why do I keep
making them over and over again?

What some skeptical people (the Science-blinded or prejudiced) don't know
is that the answers to all of those questions are sitting right there in peoples'
astrological charts. Moreover, just because most people don't know how to
read their charts and don't speak the language or know how to interpret the
letters (symbols), doesn't mean the answers are not there. They are.
Astrology never lies. I have watched it tell me and my clients the truth over
and over and over again, thousands of times. A client writes and asks me
why she cannot seem to get a husband. She's young and beautiful and
accomplished and owns her own home. Yet, she has nobody to share it with.
What should she do?

I find out her birth date, time and place (sometimes she sends me a photo as
well) and I do her chart. First thing I note is that she is more accomplished
than she let on in her query letter. I know already that she is president of her
own company. But she is also an Aries with Leo rising and she was born in a
Rooster year. This woman is what my mother used to call "a tough cookie"
and a multitalented cookie at that!

She doesn't bend easily. She is not soulful and won't listen to whining - even
her own. She wants to be in the spotlight (Leo rising) and she is indeed in
her own spotlight all the time.

She's also a Rooster which is one of the most successfully non-flexible signs
out there. Rigidity lurks in this woman's chart and has already done some
damage to her private life.

But... I look further and...Eureka! This young woman has the Moon in
Cancer. She is longing for a home and children and a man to share it with.
But, because the Aries and the Rooster and the Leo got a hold on her soul
(Moon) when she was still very young, she followed them to her own
multimillion dollar successful oblivion. She learned how NOT to share and
she made her fortune by being ruthless and firm in her opinions.
(Aries/Rooster w Leo rising)

It gets better. I dig a bit deeper and what do I find? This woman has Venus
in Taurus!

NB: I know. I know. You just don't get it when we tell you that there's a
planet in some sign or other about which you know less than zero. Why?
Because we are speaking to you in a language which is foreign to you. And
this time it is about YOU. But we are not trying to hide anything. You can
learn the language too. Nobody is stopping you.

So our young woman has Venus in Taurus. This means (for some astrologers
and we are not all alike. Just like doctors... Get a second opinion) that she
equates love with sensuality and earthiness and posssesion. So, she is
hunting for sensuality, earthiness and ownership and she is only finding pin
stripe suits and striped ties and executive trappings. Why?

Because here she is, the president of a thriving software company, owner of
her own 3000 sq ft. house and two luxury cars, 35 years old and beautiful
and she cannot find a husband - someone to love and be loved by and make
a family and a life with.

So?

She's too strong by half. And she is moreover "attracted" to the wrong kind
of suitor. She has always thought she needed "someone like me." A major
player. A boss person. A leader of men (and women). Balderdash! Two
bosses in the same household? Ouch.

She needs either a steadying, long-suffering Ox or a lovely, languorous
Snake or even a tempestuous Tiger - born in Gemini or Leo or perhaps
Sagittarius because she has Mercury (her communication planet) in
Sagittarius. And those guys she should be looking for are not necessarily
world beaters. They might be teachers or poets or musicians or even weedy
scientists who leave their brains in the laboratories when they come home at
night. They should not be head honchos. She is the head honcho. She needs
soul. So she should find someone with extra soul to share.

Need I say more? Astrology simply never lies!

P.S. Following her personal astro consultation, our heroine started looking
for Mr. Right in all the "right" places. She is now successfully married to a
brilliant Gemini/Ox (a laid back communicator type) who writes books for a
living. He loves to cook and help with the kids. They have a nanny and some
household help. Madame goes to her job every morning after taking the
children to school. Papa pipes and slippers into his office and hits the
computer for a few hours before dressing and driving to the supermarket to
do the family shopping. You see? Astrology works! sw

What the Year of the Earth Ox Could Mean for Your Career

2009-02-24T10:42:00.000-08:00

The year 2009 could be regarded as a period of stability and practicality for many of the signs. In Chinese Astrology the dutiful Ox is known for its capacity for responsibility and ability to build solid foundations. When it comes to your career, the seeds you plant now might very well bring you great rewards as the year progresses. To attain these benefits, the Ox requires us to maintain diligence and patience. Those born under the sign of the Ox may receive special opportunity for wealth this year, an omen indicative of slow and steady financial success. Signs like the ferocious and demonstrative Tiger will do well if they have steady jobs but should take extra caution when signing documents or contracts. It’s a good idea to read over any fine print to avoid losses. For the kind and patient Rabbit, many nurturing stars of luck may make this year a great time for cultivating careers and skills, and could very well guarantee success in the initiation of new ones. In the life of the Dragon, many changes might occur when it comes to reputation and financial success. Be prepared! Maintaining a consciously optimistic attitude will help to emphasize the positive. With enough hard work, the Dragon could make considerable progress.

2009 has the potential to be fortuitously lucky for the Snake! They will likely find themselves bombarded by many unique chances for advancement this year. However, it may be more beneficial to them if they act intuitively and seize the moment. Too much consideration could equal missed opportunity. For the social and generous Horse, too much movement and activity could be unwise. Although you may experience both good and bad luck in the coming months, it is important to maintain a grounded approach when it comes to the workplace. This makes it likely you will find yourself looking for a change in career at some point. The affairs of the gentle Sheep possess great potential under the guidance of the Ox. Keep up the good work, and you are likely to be granted a promotion or raise. It’s all part of personal growth that you have the ability to achieve at this time. There could be

more than one opportunity for success at work in the life of the clever Monkey. If you are in an academic or intellectual field, your luck may be even more accentuated. Your thoughts and ideas are both creative and clear this year. Take advantage of any extra energy you have by accomplishing goals and acquiring more knowledge and skill in your chosen trade.

The dauntless Rooster might have to work extra hard to achieve success. It’s an excellent time to gain on anything you feel you may have lost in the past few years, and your prestige and networking skills can only aid in improving this. Work now to build new business partnerships. You may even meet someone in a position of authority who will make it a personal priority to foster your growth. If you are lucky enough to know someone like this, it is advisable for you to accept their mentorship.

The Dog may experience large amounts of recognition and appreciation. It is a very good time for those of you involved in the industry of design or other creative endeavors. As time goes on your inspiration might feel unhindered and never ending. Use your ability to market resources to others and maintain your social circle. However, remember not to work too hard. It may be fun getting so much done, but don’t hesitate to relax.

For the Pig, the year seems full of promise. Your devotion to work could very well earn you the respect of your peers and supervisors. However, it is critical for you to focus on communicating with others. If you don’t, there may be misunderstandings that leave you feeling frustrated. If there’s anyone who knows a thing or two about how to succeed in the workplace, it’s the Rat. As usual, your tenacity will definitely help you to overcome any obstacles that may arise this year. It would also be extraordinarily prudent for you to be involved in a career that focuses on being involved in nature or presiding in a position of authority. Sagacious and determined to the very last, the year of the Earth Ox brings many chances for the Rat to develop his or her career. However, if progress does not come quickly, do not be disheartened. Lasting results may take time.

Chinese Zodiac Analysis for Adele, Best New Artist at 2009 Grammy Awards

2009-02-23T10:17:00.000-08:00

With a musical style that has been described as “heartbroken soul,” 20-year-old British singer Adele has just won the 2009 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. She also scored an additional Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Adele will return to the U.S. for a nine-city tour kicking off March 9 in San Diego, California at the House of Blues. Her first U.S. tour will conclude March 21 at the House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio (see full itinerary below). Adele is slated to headline at the Roseland Ballroom in New York on May 5 in celebration of her 21st birthday, and is also set to headline a very special evening at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on June 28.

Born May 5, 1988, Adele’s primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, Earth Dragon. The Earth Dragon may be less flamboyant than other Dragons, but their practicality more than makes up for this possible shortcoming. She may not be selected for the Chinese New Year dragon dance, but she will do better than others at accomplishing the stuff of her dreams. With her heightened sense of responsibility, she often wins more respect than other Dragons who are sometimes accused of being show offs, or all talk and no action.

Adele’s secondary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal signs the Fire Dragon and the Metal Monkey. The Fire element heightens the karmic effect common to all Dragons; her successes will be awesome and even her flameouts spectacular. The Metal Monkey is the strongest, most rigid of the bunch. This combination can be very powerful for Adele, as her Monkey creativity is harnessed into the solid structure of Metal. She prefers to work independently rather than as a cog in a corporate wheel.

With her unique personality, Chinese Astrology hopes that in 2009 Adele will continue to display her range and abilities that make hers one of the most stirring voices pop music has seen in a very long time.

Go Ahead Jennifer Hudson on the Way of Success

2009-02-19T08:48:00.000-08:00

Jennifer Hudson, the African-American singer-actor, received her first Grammy this week at the annual ceremony held in Los Angeles, California (USA), where she earned the award for excellence in the category of Best R&B Album. This notable victory is sadly shadowed by the tragedy she has had to overcome since the death of her mother, brother, and nephew in a harrowing crime last year.

Hudson was born September 12, 1981. Her primary personality traits are ruled by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal the Metal Rooster. Let’s see what’s in the Chinese Astrology cards for this talented and tough young woman!

An Earth year like this year of the Ox exerts the most beneficial influence on element Metal. Hudson, with a Metal sign, can hold even greater expectations than others of the Rooster sign this year. The Metal Rooster is a hard worker. This, combined with the Rooster quality of determination yields highly favorable results professionally and financially in this Ox Year. Hudson should not be afraid to take some risks in 2009.

According to her Personal Forecast for 2009, Hudson will have an outstanding year. Along with the Snake sign, the Rooster has the best prospects of all the signs in the year of the Ox. This will be the kind of year she has been waiting for, and everything will seem to naturally go her way. She has been diligently working toward some long-term goals that will finally come together, as we can already see with her Grammy victory. It is likely she will continue to earn other high awards and recognition throughout the year.

Chinese Astrology advises Hudson to steadily promote herself in her career. Her ideas and her talents will be highly regarded, and she will be recognized for past and present efforts. Determination and diligence are the two key aspects that put the Rooster above the fray in 2009. This year will certainly be seen as a watershed in years to come, and Hudson will remember it as one of the most productive times in her life.

All aspect of life bode favorably for Hudson this year. Chinese Astrology wishes her all the success she richly deserves, and hopes the good fortune brought by the coming year will also help to heal the suffering of her terrible loss.

The 2009 Personal Forecast for Hillary Clinton

2009-02-17T11:12:00.000-08:00

Hillary Clinton is the 67th and current United States Secretary of State under President Barack Obama. She was the First Lady of the U.S. from 1993 to 2001 as the wife of Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the U.S. She has also been voted one of the 100 most powerful women in the world by Forbes magazine.

Born October 26, 1947, her primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Fire Pig.

According to Chinese Astrology, Fire has the most favorable effect on an Earth sign like the Pig, and this year of the Ox is also an Earth year. Ms. Clinton, as a Fire Pig, is more poised to take advantage of opportunity than others born under the Pig sign. The Fire Pig is bold and not afraid to take risks. The year of the Ox will provide favorable periods for her to take chances and even become more prosperous. Everywhere she goes people will admire her natural sensibility. Of course, she knows exactly what she wants out of life and never hesitates to play all the angles in order to get it.

Fortunately for Hillary, the Pig will enjoy much personal happiness in 2009. She will be endeared to others who will provide her with encouragement and good advice in both her social and domestic life. Her family and friends will be the focus of many memorable occasions this year. For the unattached Pig, there will also be new romantic opportunities.

According to her 2009 Personal Forecast, Hillary will have many opportunities to shine. Her generous nature is apparent in all aspects of her life. It is an admired quality that people respect. This year, her inherent generosity plays a large role in her life, and may pave the way to a shift in her career.

The Ox year 2009 is set to be a period of lasting accomplishments. This is true for individuals, societies, and the entire human race. A hint for those born under the Fire Pig: A change will occur in the second half of the year that will provide greater financial comfort, allowing you the means to become accustomed to a preferred lifestyle.

Valentine’s Day Survival Guide: Avoiding Love Disasters

2009-02-16T09:34:00.001-08:00

Love it or loathe it, Valentine’s Day is a day we all reflect on the state of our romantic life. Chinese astrology offers insight into our inborn characteristics that influence what most attracts (or repels) us, and also with whom we can ultimately find lasting harmony. Among the twelve animal signs of the Chinese Zodiac, each has two ideal partners and an utterly impossible one. Most of us have experienced a love disaster, or two.

The biggest catastrophes in love are usually not with one’s most zodiacally opposed sign because the conflict is obvious immediately. Most dangerous are those “second-worst” signs whose traits spark attraction, but ultimately are incompatible in values and worldview. Below are some common examples of dangerous pairs who can expect struggle and strife when the honeymoon is over.

Rat and Sheep: Attractive to each other as opposites, but neither can understand the other’s needs. Rat’s love of society and material success will be at constant odds with the Sheep’s need for quiet introspection and spiritual exploration.

Ox and Tiger: Each admires each other’s strength and will. But, this powerful combination will drain each other’s productive energy as both signs struggle to dominate the relationship, which inevitably will be adversarial.

Rabbit and Dragon: Dragon pulls Rabbit in with irresistible magnetism, and is fascinated by Rabbit’s understated grace. In love though, Dragon will disrespect Rabbit’s cautious approach to life as weak, and Rabbit will be overpowered by Dragon’s unmitigated dominance.

Rooster and Dog: Rooster is exotic and displays a self-confidence that is naturally attractive to an idealist like Dog. Rooster won’t hesitate to take advantage of Dog, who will suffer rather than complain. Rooster will be unfulfilled as Dog grows weary and resentful.

Horse and Snake: With Horse’s charisma and Snake’s hypnotic mystery, these two can become enchanted with one another as quickly as they will torment each other. Snake will be hurt by Horse’s inconsistency of devotion and Horse will be baffled by Snake’s intense and brooding behavior.

Monkey and Pig: Monkey is drawn to Pig’s sensuality and Pig is captivated by Monkey’s entertaining personality and intelligence—at first. Monkey can’t resist pushing sensitive Pig’s buttons and Pig will respond with moodiness or depression.

Are of these unhappy pairs familiar? Read more about the Chinese Zodiac to find out which signs understand your needs and appreciate your unique gifts in love.

Personal Yearly Horoscope

2009-02-10T10:51:00.000-08:00

The Ox is the second sign of the Chinese zodiac. Like its predecessor and complement, the Rat, it signifies new beginnings. The main difference is the Ox is associated with building to last and slow but sure action. Even more so than last year we all have to make good choices, as that which is begun now is likely to have long term consequences.

As with last year, this is an Earth year. The difference is this one is yin rather than yang. It is thus likely to be less tumultuous. On a personal level, better results are more likely to be achieved by reacting to circumstances and going with the flow rather than aggressively charging forward and initiating a lot of action.

Unfortunately Earth has a destructive relationship with the Ox's fixed element, Water. In fact this is the fourth in a run of six years governed by an unlucky conflict of elements. This fact should come as no surprise to those who have followed US and world financial markets or the unspeakable horror that has persisted in Iraq.

The combination of Earth and Ox, however, is not at all a negative combination. Its primary characteristic is durability. It suggests an environment dominated by cautious pragmatism rather than quixotic dreaming. Things will get done.

Furthermore, they will generally be successful if done in harmony with the spirit of the Earth Ox. This applies both to the type and amount of new projects as well as the approach to accomplishing them. That means focusing on just a few, long term projects. It also suggests proceeding in a cautious yet determined manner. Finally, it counsels avoiding taking unnecessary risks and yielding to the temptation to seek short term gains.

Since this is an Earth year, those people born in a Metal year will generally fare better than others of their animal sign, while those born in a Water one are likely to do worse than those born in Wood, Fire, and Earth years.

The year 2009 will be a period of lasting accomplishments. This is true for individuals, societies and the human race in general. There may be times when motivation appears to be lacking. In fact the big challenge everyone faces is to generate the enthusiasm and desire to act. Those individuals and organizations that do will create enduring benefits for themselves and the world.

To see how your sign fares during the year of the Ox, continue on.
