Aries are ruled by Mars, the planet of energy and passion, so it makes sense that some of the most aggressive, active and out there celebrities are born under the sign of Aries. Check out our list below and you'll get the cosmic drift... * Russell Crowe

* Andy Garcia

* Mariah Carey

* Diana Ross

* Ewan McGregor

* Eddie Murphy

* Aretha Franklin

* Alec Baldwin

* Vince Vaughn

* Fergie

* Celine Dion

* Julia Stiles

* Kiera Knightley

* Steven Seagal

* Emma Thompson

* Martin Lawrence

* Ellen Barkin

* Victoria Beckham

* Kate Hudson

* Maria Sharapova

Quite a few loose cosmic cannons in that group hey? Alec Baldwin, Russell Crowe, Steven Seagal, Martin Lawrence, Elton John, Vince Vaughn amongst others...quite a few feisty women too – Diana Ross, Mariah Carey and Fergie. And the reason for the feistiness is the fact that Mars is their ruler and they are the first sign of the zodiac. The zodiac starts with Aries – the first sign of Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere anyway). So Aries are the most immature and excitable signs in the zodiac and also,the most likely to get themselves into trouble.

Let’s have a look at the planetary play in April and see what sort of trouble our celebs are going to get themselves into going forward in 08...

Planetary placements for April 2008

Sun in Aries through April 21, then Taurus

New Moon in Aries – April 6

Full Moon in Scorpio – April 20

Mercury in Pisces through April 18, then moves into Aries

Venus in Pisces through April 7, then Aries

Mars in Cancer all April

Jupiter in Capricorn

Pluto retrogrades in Capricorn April 4

Saturn retrograde in Virgo



The Full Moon in Scorpio on the 20th is going to be a real doozy. With the energy of the Sun in Aries (on its last legs), Mars in Cancer, Mercury and Venus in Aries, it’s sure to stir up all sorts of trouble for the fire signs – Sags, Leos and Aries and of course the air signs as well – Librans, Geminis and Aquarians. The relationship with Reese and Jake seems to be going smoothly – but Aries and Sags don’t normally run that smoothly and this Full Moon (preceded by a New Moon in Aries April 6) could definitely throw a spanner in the mix.



And there is a certain cosmic swagger in the air with so much planetary play in Aries. Aries and over-confidence go hand in hand and this month, over-confidence could land celebs in hot water. The paparazzi is OTT right now. They are like a pack of wolves chasing down lambs to slaughter. It’s out of control and needs to be stopped immediately before someone else gets killed (seeing as they did contribute to Princess Di’s death). Pregnant Jessica Alba is fed up with the paparazzi – being a Taurus there is only so much she is willing to put up with. We’ve all seen how Russell Crowe and Alec Baldwin feel about the photographers chasing them down the street and Taurus George Clooney has spoken out about them on more than one occasion.

The New Moon is all about energy – energy expressed outwardly and a very energetic outpouring of emotions and feelings while the Full Moon is much more underground – a much more intense energy and one that could result in violence or threats...or just an undercurrent of negativity and disappointment. Affairs and flings could come out into open too. We’ve already seen the results of the Elliot Spitzer affair – the Governor of New York who was in charge of stamping out prostitution yet spent $80,000 on prostitutes! Elliott Spitzer is a Gemini – so very much able to put on his Governor face/side and then his kinky side – apparently he was into unprotected sex but wanted to keep his socks on...go figure.

Comedian Robin Williams isn't laughing right now – walking around with a t-shirt displaying a heart with a sword through the middle of it, blood gushing out...he has just completed a stint in rehab too...Robin is a Cancer and won't this sudden separation from his wife well at all. And we could see him back in rehab around the time of the April 20 Full Moon.

Aries Kate Hudson and Scorpio Owen Wilson are back on again – and while this is great news as they do make a cute couple – Kate and Owen are both ruled by Mars but in very different ways. We all know about Owen’s demons and his supposed suicide attempt and that Kate has a young child and needs to protect him as well as her own heart and sanity. Kate’s ex Capricorn Chris Robinson is a recovering addict, so Kate is very much aware of what she is getting herself into.

Leo Patrick Swayze is a fighter – and while reports on his condition differ from one day to the next, he is someone who sticks to his guns. He’s been married to the same woman for 30 plus years! Unheard of in Hollywood! So let’s hope he can overcome sickness and keep on dirty dancing his way through our lives!

Babies and more babies – Brangelina, TomKat (supposedly), Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale, Jessica Alba & Cash Warren, Nicole and Keith, and there will be more revealed around the time of the Full Moon on the 20th. There could be an unexpected announcement too – as unexpected as Aries Jamie Lynn Spears announcement that at 16 she is pregnant. What a family! Speaking of the Spears, Britney has certainly be on the DL lately – quiet and behaving herself and let’s hope it continues. I wonder where Adnan the ‘paparazzi boyfriend’ is? No pictures of him lately? Maybe poppa Spears got rid of him? He was embroiled in a relationship with the girlfriend of one of the contestants of Who Wants to be a Supermodel? A new reality show on TV (no doubt which you will get in Australia). Adnan was photographed with the girlfriend of Perry – the front runner to win the competition. So it looks like Adnan is off finding new lives to ruin. Meanwhile he’s still married...

Meanwhile the tabloids insist in trying to get Britney and Aries Kevin Federline back together. Wouldn't that be a turn up for the books? You never know...Aries and Sags have this thing...

Cosmic Well Wishes,

Tune in next month,
