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.
