Gwyneth on Her Kids' Zodiac Signs

Gwyneth Paltrow is one celeb I would not have expected to believe in astrology. She just seems so Mr.-Spock chilly that you'd think she's one of those "rational" thinkers. (She was in a movie about math, fer Chrissakes.) But here's a cute quote from her revealing she understands that her daughter is ruled by Venus and her son by Mars:

"Apple [pictured at right with her Libra mama] is an open person. She's Taurus; grounded, calm, funny. Moses is Aries, he's the most sweet, sensitive thing but then he'll kick and karate-chop and spit and tumble. He's a real boy." --Gwyneth Paltrow to U.K. Glamour [Source]

If you recall, CelebAstroBlogy posted her son Moses' horoscope shortly after his birth two years ago. Wonder if Gwynnie checked out the chart? Here it is (along with Apple's), in case you'd like to do so....

Not the most earth-shattering astrological analysis ever committed to the Interwebs, I know--but hey, I promised a break from birthday posts and I delivered toot sweet, gosh darn it!

Happy Mother's Day! Some famous relatives and hangers-on were born today, in addition to those who became celebrities in their own right.

Absurdly adorable tot Apple Martin (near right, with mama Gwyneth) hits the Terrible Twos with a new baby brother to put up with. Are macrobiotics allowed to take Xanax? Just wondering. Read about Apple's relationship with Moses ~ See Apple Martin's birth chart (Astrotheme)

Sole surviving member of Milli Vanilli—the Omega Milli, if you will—Fabrice Morvan also hits the big 40 today.

Sharing a 44th birthday are rockers C.C. Deville of Poison and Ian Astbury of the Cult, who actually have quite a bit in common: a late-'80s heyday, a hotly debated membership in the musical category known as "metal," a love of eyeliner and an eternal place in my nostalgic little heart.

Mr. Orange, actor Tim Roth, is 45. See Tim Roth's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Talking Head David Byrne has been letting the days go by for 54 years now. Virgo rising certainly fits his geek persona. See David Byrne's birth chart (Astrotheme)

A double Taurus, he has a grand trine (a positive, flowing aspect) in air signs between Moon in Aquarius (mass communication, progressive thinking) in the 10th (career, fame), Uranus (technology, futurism) in Gemini (writing), and Neptune (fantasy, spirituality) in Libra (art, beauty).

Moses Martin Has a Leo Moon

It's a birth time bonanza today! (Stay tuned for a full TomKitten update.) After the vaguest birth announcement ever, the birth data of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's son, Moses Martin, have been clarified.

Young MoMar was born April 8 around 9 AM in NYC [Source]. Shoutout to Senior Research Editor Karen for digging up this info. Here is Moses Martin's birth chart.

Moses has Gemini rising and a Leo Moon. With Neptune conjunct the Aquarius Midheaven and his Sun in the 11th house, he could definitely go into music or movies like his parents. He'll be a bit of a rebel who doesn't like to be told what to do.

The Moon represents the mother, and Moses' Leo Moon in the 4th house of motherhood and family describes his movie star stay-at-home mom. With his Sun trining his Moon, he will have a good relationship with her and hopefully with women in general, although Venus and Uranus together in Pisces suggest that his love life will be a bit volatile and possibly self-destructive.

Moses Martin, Welcome to the World!

Mazel tov and all that good stuff to mama Gwyneth Paltrow, papa Chris Martin and big sister Apple (at right with Gwyn) on the birth of young Moses Martin, which, according to the paparazzi-party-pooping pair's reps, took place "this weekend." [Source] However, I must protest the dearth of birth data. This announcement is vaguer than Ricky Martin when discussing his sexuality. Um, is there anything more frustrating for an astrologer than a birth announcement with a two-to-three-day window? I mean, we live for exact birth data like celeb photographers live for first-baby-photo exclusives and drunken-ingenue nipple slips. "Weekend" could mean any time from Friday to Sunday (April 7–9), giving Moses either a Leo Moon or a Virgo Moon. Among other things, the Moon depicts how the person views his or her mother. With these two signs, Moses would perceive his momma either as a full-of-herself supastah or a controlling, neurotic macrobiotic, so that could really go either way.*

At the very least, we can say that a little Aries will vibe nicely with a Libra mom like Gwyneth (see Gwyneth Paltrow's birth chart; Astrotheme). His Venus conjuncts her Ascendant, fostering an empathic connection between them. With his Sun opposite her Uranus, his Uranus on her Ascaendant, and his Mars in Gemini on her Saturn, Moses will be constantly surprising his mom and she will have to keep a watchful eye on him as he's always running around getting into trouble. Once this kid reaches the terrible twos, Gwynnie won't need Ashtanga yoga to stay fit; she'll be too busy chasing after him.

Likewise, Moses' Uranus is right on dad Chris's Sun (see Chris Martin's birth chart; Astrotheme), signifying that he will bring a lot of unpredictable behavior and shake-ups into his father's life. Even Apple, who has a nice Venus-Mars bond with her baby brother, also has a Uranian connection with Moses, with his Venus on her Uranus (see Apple Martin's birth chart; Astrotheme). This kid is definitely going to turn this family on its ear. I'm starting to think Moses might turn out to be a little hyperactive and ADHDy, which would be kinda ironic considering Gwyneth would probably sooner give her children crystal meth than let them eat white sugar. All's I'm saying is, a few years from now, I would not be surprised to see the Paltrow-Martins tearing their collective hair out on "Celebrity Nanny 911."

That's about as much insight I can give working with aspects from the slower-moving planets, which would be in effect throughout the weekend. The P-Ms are bound to cough up a date and time sooner or later, and when they do, stay tuned for an update!*

*UPDATE: Moses' birth date and time have been revealed. Check out his birth chart and the analysis.
