Leona Lewis: The New Mariah Carey 2008-04-11 13:37:13 About a week ago was British singer LeonaLewis
' birthday.
I was totally blown away by this singer and songwriter when I first watched her performance in the singing Talent TV show the X-Factor 2006 (the equivalent of American Idol in the US).
Before appearing on the show, Leona Lewis
worked as a chiropodist's receptionist. Not surprisingly, Leona Lewis - now Simon Cowell's protégé - won the Talent Contest and landed the record contract. Read more:Mariah

ARIES: The Sign of the Pioneer and the Warrior 2008-04-11 11:27:47 I have met quite a few Aries women in my life who have over the years become my best friends.
With Aries men, there has always been a dynamic attraction between us as well as an element of unpredictability (My planets and ascendant in Aquarius as well as Uranus and Pluto in Libra may have something to do with it!) which kept the relationship lively and interesting.
As a whole, I like Aries straightforwardness, honesty and adventurous and enterprising spirit. Aries often live in the present, in the now and don't always think about tomorrow or the consequences of their actions. They are passionate, spontaneous, direct and impulsive. Read more:Pioneer

New Moon Tonight! 2008-04-05 17:23:27 The New Moon – when the Moon conjunct the Sun - occurs tonight in the Cardinal sign of Aries.
Aries is about making new beginnings, moving ahead in life, setting new goals, being assertive, enterprising and adventurous.
This go-ahead theme is even more emphasized as the New Moon forms a dynamic planetary configuration, a Cardinal T-Square with energetic Mars in Cancer and expansive Jupiter in Capricorn. Read more:Tonight

As Naomi Campbell

Patrick Swayze 2008-03-10 15:52:11 I am a great fan of American actor Patrick
Swayze, the Hollywood superstar, and so I am greatly sadden by the recent news that he has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Patrick Swayze has been best known for his breakthrough role as a dance instructor in Dirty Dancing (1987) and in other films such as Ghost (1990) along with Demi Moore and Whoopi Goldberg, and Point Break (1991) along with Keanu Reeves. Patrick Swayze is also a talented dancer, an accomplished figure skater, a singer and a songwriter of the famous Dirty Dancing hit: She's like the Wind.
Full Moon Today 2008-04-20 10:49:04 The Moon is Full today as the Sun in Taurus opposes the Moon in Scorpio.
Scorpio is the sign of intensity, so powerful and intense emotions are likely to rise to the surface now.
The Moon is also at the apex of a Kite, in sextile to Saturn and Pluto, bringing energy and dynamism into the Earth Grand Trine formed by the Sun-Mercury conjunction in Taurus, Saturn retrograde in Virgo and Pluto retrograde in Capricorn. Read more:Today
Jackie Chan in Forbidden Kingdom 2008-04-24 15:26:49 Action movie star hero Jackie
Chan, famous for his comedy-style Kung Fu fighting is one of the rare martial arts actors I find rather entertaining and funny.
The Chinese cultural icon is currently starring in the new action movie ForbiddenKingdom
along with martial arts actor Jet Li.
Forbidden Kingdom is apparently the most expensive Chinese martial arts movie ever made, with a budget of $30 millions.
Jackie Chan
made his first appearance in a film at the age of 8. His career took off in the early seventies and he has played roles in over 100 films.
The Sun and the Black Moon 2008-04-28 15:26:20 Although Lilith the Black
Moon is traditionally associated with an awareness of one's dark side, I have found that when Lilith the Black Moon is conjunct to the Sun in a Natal Chart, it often depicts qualities of personal strength, independence, motivation and determination.
In other words, the Black Moon carries the energies of Mars and Pluto combined, so conjunct to the Sun, this makes the personality even more determined, independent and charismatic.
TAURUS: The Sign of the Builder 2008-05-02 14:44:54 Taurus is a sign I know very well. My daughter is a lovely Taurus, one of my brothers is a stubborn Taurus, and some of my friends are reliable and emotionally stable Taureans.
If your birth date falls between April 20th and May 21st (the dates are approximate depending on your year of birth) then your Sun is in the sign of Taurus. Read more:Builder
The Austrian Incest Abuse Case 2008-05-02 14:44:46 I was shocked to hear about this abuse story.
Austrian
devil Josef Fritzl had abused his daughter Elisabeth since the age of 11, and locked her up when she was 18 in a windowless cellar for 24 years.
Elisabeth was forced to bear seven of her father's children. Six children survived and only three of them were taken upstairs and adopted by Josef Fritzl and his wife, Rosemarie.
New Moon Today 2008-05-05 14:23:02 The New Moon, the Sun and Moon conjunction, is in the fertile sign of Taurus today and is in its perigee, that is to say its closest proximity to the Earth. This may dynamically impact on the weather, the tides and tectonic activity.
Not only the Taurus New Moon is in harmony with Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion and its energies will influence the entire month, but also the Earth Grand Trine involving Saturn now Direct in Virgo, Pluto in Capricorn and Venus in Taurus, makes it an excellent time to start a new project that is build to last.

When a planet goes retrograde it makes an apparent backward motion through the Zodiac. It does not really move backwards, but appears to due to the relative motion of the planet and the Earth revolving round the Sun.

Those born under the sign of Cancer can also be great story-tellers. It is therefore not surprising that the French writers Antoine de St Exupéry, Jean Cocteau, Marcel Proust, Jean de La Fontaine, and American novelist Ernest Hemingway were all born under this sign.
