Kevin Federline's Birth Chart

The fact that Kevin Federline appears to be acting like a mature, responsible adult may well be a sign that the apocalypse is wicked nigh. Or it could just mean that the FedEx is finally learning the lessons of his Saturn return.

A full astrological analysis of Kevin's present cosmic situation will follow soon. For now, I am pleased to present K-Fed's chart with birth time included. Infinite gratitude goes out to reader Pluto for sharing Kevin's birth certificate with me. As always, gentle readers, you make me feel luckier than David Spade the first time he scored with Heather Locklear. But I digress....

(Check out that Pluto in Libra on the Ascendant, which rather perfectly describes the way Kevin presents to the world as Britney's sex partner and kept man above all else. Tee hee!)

Will Britney Learn Saturn's Lessons In Time?

Now that Britney Spears is in rehab for the third time, will she take to the treatment? Is she finally ready to use the positive energy of the transiting Saturn sextile I mentioned earlier {Full story} to work on getting her life back on track before her Saturn return a couple of years from now? So far she seems to be committed to the Promises program, but for how long?

A look at Britney's progressed chart (showing where a person has evolved to at the present time) reveals many of the same themes of anger and rebellion present in her transit chart. Thankfully, it also reinforces the constructive "tough love" energy of the Saturn sextile, suggesting that there is still a chance for Britney's family to get through to her and for her to work through this and emerge stronger.

In Britney's progressed chart, the Sun in Capricorn is almost exactly squaring Mars in Libra. A lot of anger is coming out now. Britney is expressing her rage (Mars) about the identity (Sun) that has been defined for her by the establishment (Capricorn). (Also, Libra is the sign of partnership, and Britney is obviously taking out some of that rage on estranged husband Kevin Federline; witness her distressing bashing-SUV-with-umbrella scene outside his house.) Progressed Mars has also crossed Britney's natal Ascendant, bringing her anger out into the forefront for all to see.

Interestingly, in her progressed chart as in the transit chart, we find a Chiron-Moon aspect. The progressed Moon is trining natal (and progressed) Chiron, facilitating the flow of inwardly directed aggression. This aspect also describes the pain Britney is causing her mother (Moon) now, even as her mother seeks to bring her healing. Chiron represents the "wounded healer" archetype, and has the potential to serve as a bridge between the chaotic (no pun intended), turbulent energy she's been experiencing as Uranus squares her Sun, and the window of constructive opportunity presented by transiting Saturn's sextile to its natal position.

The progressed Moon in Capricorn is also squaring natal Saturn, an aspect that very much describes the way Britney's parents have been goading her to get her act together. This aspect heartens me greatly to see, as it depicts the challenge Britney is facing to get her life in order and deal with her emotions -- but also the potential for focus, strength, and determination, especially with the support of her family.

As she works toward her recovery, I would like to offer fellow Britneyphiles a way to energetically manifest their concern and support for her as she works on dealing with her issues. The image above shows Britney's crown chakra adorned with a lotus containing a jewel. This image is suggestive of the Tibetan Buddhist mantra Om mani padme hum, or "The jewel is already in the lotus," a phrase whose meaning is difficult to sum up but essentially conveys that the completion and even perfection we thrash about seeking are actually already within us. {More info} It's a bit like Dorothy journeying all the way through Oz only to realize that all along she possessed the power to return home. Sagittarians like Britney are born seekers, and my intuitive feeling is that right now she is casting around outside herself for something she needs to look within herself to find. Fans of Britney who wish to send her compassionate, nonjudgmental loving-kindness energy during this time might consider chanting this mantra silently or aloud while envisioning Britney surrounded by healing, purifying white light. Yes, I am totally serious. What?

Britney Divorces Kevin! The World Makes Sense Again!

How long I have dreamed of this day. I can scarcely believe this joyous event has come to pass, much less astrologically analyze it with any objectivity. My beloved, bodacious angel, Britney Spears, has filed for divorce from the no-talent, gold-digging, low-capris-wearing, indiscriminately inseminating piece of white trash she inexplicably chose to call a husband, Kevin Federline. {Source} Jaia Ganesha!!!

Britney, baby, I just know this is a new day for you. Sure, you were in a bad relationship, you let yourself go, but now that you've kicked K-Fed to the curb, you're already looking fiercer than we've seen you in eons. {Source ~ Source}(Okay, the picture at right is old, but isn't it an inspirational reminder of the glory days?)

In Britney's horoscope, change has been brewing for some time. See Britney Spears' birth chart (Astrotheme) Back in May, I wrote:

...Britney has Pluto sextiling its natal position, passing over her Neptune, and squaring her 12th-house Mars. This represents a time of transformation during which she sees the truth about her illusions come to light, and makes profound changes in her sometimes self-destructive M.O. (Mars in the 12th house).... Jupiter ... will make its last conjunction to Kevin's Uranus in mid-September (which could well be around the baby's actual birth date, considering how celebs like to pad their due dates). It's quite possible he could hang on till then in his basement lair, lurking in the corners of Britney's life. But Pluto has a way of unearthing the truth, and it won't be long before our beloved Britney sees the light about her marriage. {Full story}

Now, as retrograde Uranus draws toward a station in square to Britney's Sun, she is itching to break free of the confines of her current identity, perhaps shocking the world with a whole new persona. To feel vital and true to herself now, Britney needs to change. It may be scary and unsettling to shake up the status quo and take a sharp left turn on her life path, but this might be just what Britney needs to clear away stale psychic energy and find her center again.

Kevin, meanwhile, is going through a hugely momentous life shift: his first Saturn return, a time of reckoning and new responsibilities, when a person transitions into adulthood and reaps the consequences—for better or worse—of his or her work toward achieving maturity thus far. See Kevin Federline's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

The Saturn return is kind of like a cosmic midterm exam. And I think we can all guess how well K-Fed does on standardized tests. The divorce as well as the dismal response to his fledgling "career" as a "musical" "artist" (which, one suspects, may well have been the last straw for Britney, as she was finally confronted with a realistic assessment of his nonexistent breadwinner potential) suggests that Kevin has spent less time learning lessons from the universe than he has partying in Vegas.

Along with signifying adult responsibilities, Saturn also represents the father principle, and Kevin is being called to account for his parenting skills as much as anything else. Britney is seeking sole custody in the divorce petition, and it's hard to imagine Kevin fighting for the right to be encumbered by his kids on weekends when he could be out partying. But for an overgrown child of a man like Kevin, Saturn can come down pretty hard with the old reality check. He may be stunned to find out how difficult life on his own is, without the safety net of Britney's fame and money.

With Mercury and Venus on his Uranus, news of the divorce may have already come as a shock to him. Now, as Saturn gets set to station and turn retrograde just minutes away from its position in Kevin's natal chart, he has a rough road ahead. He will have to go back and make up for lost time in learning the lessons of adulthood and parenthood he should have been working on all along.

So, it looks like K-Fed's long-awaited and richly deserved slide into obscurity has begun ... and with it Britney's imminent resurgence to fame and fabulosity. She'll be starting 2007 on a high note, receptive to receiving new blessings from the universe as Jupiter conjuncts her Sun. Our original-flava Britney is back and ready to reclaim her one true love, Justin Timberlake, from the clutches of old Frying-Pan-Face Diaz. Man, between this and the Democrats retaking the House, I might just start to regain faith that there is some sense to the universe.

UPDATE: Britney's Baby's Real Name and Birth Chart

Whoo-hoo! A birth certificate has finally settled the many rumors about Britney Spears' second son not being named Sutton Pierce or not even being a boy. In fact, Britney's infant is named Jayden James Federline, indeed sports a Y chromosome, and was born at 1:11 AM in Los Angeles on September 12 {Source: TMZ}. Now that's what I like to see—official documents confirming birth data! Big ups to TMZ!

Apart from my annoyance at having to redo the birth chart, which I originally calculated for 2:00 AM per media reports (imminent Mercury retrograde, anyone?), I must admit I am relieved that Britney did not actually give both her sons the initials SPF, as I was beginning to worry that she considered that some sort of magical nomenclatural substitute for actually covering up her babies when she takes them out in the sun. Anyway, here is the birth chart with the corrected name and time:

See Jayden James Federline's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy)

Little JJF's chart is not substantively different from the one with the 2:00 am birth time analyzed last month. Sensitive Cancer is still on the Ascendant and the Moon is in loyal, nurturing Taurus. The North Node moves to the Pisces Midheaven, which bodes well for his professional success in a creative and/or spiritual field and suggests that there may be a karmic mission entwined with his career path.

Venus' move to the 3rd house will make him a bit more social and his relationships a little more changeable, mitigating the clingy tendencies of the Taurus Moon; but then, Mercury and Mars in the 4th house suggest a shy homebody with his nose buried in a book. His Sun conjunct the Sun and Mercury of fellow Virgo sib Sean Preston (shown with Mom and Dad Kevin Federline above) indicates the brothers will have a close identification, though, like all close siblings, they may rip each other to shreds while jockeying for position and for points of differentiation.

As I mentioned previously, Jayden James may have a tendency to cling to his mother for comfort with that 4th-house emphasis. He will certainly be perceptive and attuned to others' feelings, perhaps worrying about them too much with Mercury at 29° Virgo.

One mildly worrisome point of note is that the earlier birth time makes the grand cross in Jayden's chart tighter by a degree or so than the 2:00 AM time did. As discussed previously, this configuration creates a lot of stress in Jayden's life, related to his parents and their larger-than-life celebrity image. But the North Node–Midheaven conjunction gives me hope that Jayden will choose to go down a different path; rather than trying to compete with or live up to his famous parents' glamour (uh, such as it is) and material success, he may decide to pursue a life of asceticism and service, in which success is defined by how many lives he can touch and transform. Flash forward 18 years, when J.J. and Shiloh Jolie-Pitt spot each other across a crowded Peace Corps tent.... Can't wait!

Sutton Pierce Federline's Natal Chart

Presenting the astrological birth chart for Britney Spears' second son, SPF II, brother of Sean Preston, fourth (!!!) spawn of K-Fed, a.k.a. Sutton Pierce Federline!

See Sutton Pierce Federline's birth chart ~ Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy

Thank God Britney did not make good on her threat to run off and give birth in Namibia, so her baby was born in a nice, unambiguous time zone. Media accounts have Sutton Pierce entering the world around 2:00 AM on September 12 [edited from Sept. 13, which was a typo; the chart was actually cast for the 12th] in L.A. {Source}This gives him a Cancer Ascendant that forms nice sextiles to his Virgo Sun and Taurus Moon.

But honestly, I am a little worried about this kid. With that Cancer Ascendant and his Sun, Mercury and Venus in Virgo, young Sutton is a sensitive soul with a tendency to be anxious and high-strung. His Sun's opposition to Uranus makes Sutton emotionally volatile, prone to picking up on other people's emotional energy and getting out of control.

What really troubles me, though, is the daunting grand cross between the Moon (emotions and the mother), Jupiter (growth and expansion), Saturn (responsibilities and the father), and Neptune (fantasies, ideals and delusions). It would seem that SPF II's larger-than-life, um, life, and the grandiose images posed by his parents, could set up some major obstacles for him in terms of fulfilling his own dreams. When this kid gets reality-checked, it could come down on him hard.

Interestingly, both of Britney's sons' Suns fall in her natal 12th house, suggesting that they play a backstage role in her life. See Britney Spears' birth chart (Astrotheme) She has already spoken of her desire for Sean to have a sibling to keep him company when she brings him along on tour (which is a lot like the logic people use in deciding to get a second cat because they're gone during the day, rather than have a second child, but whatever). With his Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars all in Britney's 12th house, it could be a challenge for Sutton to come out from behind the scenes and find his own way. Sutton's Mars conjuncts his 4th house cusp, suggesting that he might stay close to home and cling to family ties. (I would have said cling to his mother's apron strings, but it's a bit hard to picture Brit Brit in an apron.)

His Virgo planets, Taurus Moon and Cancer Ascendant make Sutton caring, nurturing and concerned about other people. Hopefully he will be able to tap into these qualities without developing a tendency to take care of others' needs at the expense of his own. With that grand cross configuration, he does have some struggles ahead. And if his parents would appear to be part of the problem, at least they—well, at least Britney—can afford to get him therapy.

Poll Results: When Will Britney Give Birth?

Okay, okay, as I've already abjectly apologized for, we're playing catch-up here on CelebAstroBlogy this week. So, these poll results are a wee smidge late. And since my original post on Britney Spears' due date, there have been (according to others who were able to access the Interwebs this week) a flurry of reports about a forthcoming scheduled C-section. Were our readers prescient in their response to the poll question? Time will tell soon enough.

When will Britney Spears give birth?
And the results are...

Two-thirds of readers believe Britney will give birth in late September, after firstborn son Sean Preston Federline's birthday, giving her baby a Libra Sun. The fall equinox, when the Sun enters Libra, isn't until September 23, so if the rumors about an imminent C-section are true, SPF will wind up with a fellow Virgo sib. Rest assured that, barring further cosmic technical difficulties from the universe (knock wood!), CelebAstroBlogy will be bringing you the new Baby Spederline's birth chart ASAP. So stay tuned!

Poll of the Week: When Will Britney Give Birth?

Britney Spears may feel like she has been pregnant for ten years {Source}, but it seems her second pregnancy is flying by—with not nearly enough bump photos, if you ask me. And as usual with celebrity due dates, there is a complete lack of consensus around when Britney will give birth to Sean Preston's sibling.

Some outlets report that the latest Federline is due right around SPF's first birthday (September 14), while K-Fed himself recently offered up "Halloween" as D-day for his (what kind of a God would allow this?!?!) fourth child's arrival into the world. {Source} But of course, celebrities are notorious for throwing out late due dates to keep the press away from the delivery room, and one assumes that K-Fed's math skills are on a par with his verbal and rapping skills, so it is necessary to take this pronouncement with a margarita glass worth of salt.

Pursuant to consultation with Senior Bumpalysist Karen, who believes Brit Brit to be about eight months along, it seemed clear that Britney would make sure to stagger her scheduled C-section around Sean's birthday, so that she could throw him a party. But would she plan to give birth before or after her son's big day? Or might Kevin be telling the truth, meaning we have a whole two months more of giganta-bump photo ops to look forward to? This is the question posed to you, gentle readers.

The Poll of the Week is...

Voting closes Tuesday, September 5. Check back Wednesday, September 6, for the results!

Is Britney Finally Done With Kevin?

This really could be the biggest week in celebrity news ever. Not only were we blessed by the birth of Shiloh Nouvel "New Messiah" Jolie-Pitt (and let us not forget poor, forgotten Kingston Rossdale), but there are also murmurs that the other most eagerly anticipated event in the star stratosphere may come to pass:

"AFTER just 20 stormy months of marriage, Britney Spears has finally had enough of her loser husband Kevin Federline.

For weeks they've been leading separate lives. Now their relationship is so strained that Britney - who is pregnant with their second child - has banished 28-year-old Federline to a self-contained "bachelor" flat in the basement of their Californian mansion....

Ominously, her spokesman refused to deny claims...that she thinks her second marriage is over and wants a divorce....

According to a close friend of Britney, she had hoped that her marriage could survive at least until the birth of their second child in October.

We hear: 'She wanted to wait, but their relationship has become so hostile she just doesn't see how she can make it work.'" {Source}

Lord knows we've been burned before by getting our hopes up that Britney will finally sever the purse strings and G-strings connecting her to Kevin. (Remember when she had his Ferrari repossessed? That was so awesome. And then it was returned with custom "Federline" rims? That was so lame.) But there is a chance this could really be happening.

I almost never look at K-Fed's chart other than in relation to Britney, but it is worth noting that Venus (love, money and possessions) is passing over his Chiron, the planet of wounding, in Taurus, the money sign. His financial and/or relationship situation is causing him some pain. And Jupiter is crossing his Uranus in Scorpio, possibly auguring a reversal of fortune. Scorpio happens to be the sign that rules sex and other people's money. See Kevin Federline's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)

Meanwhile, Britney has Pluto sextiling its natal position, passing over her Neptune, and squaring her 12th-house Mars. This represents a time of transformation during which she sees the truth about her illusions come to light, and makes profound changes in her sometimes self-destructive M.O. (Mars in the 12th house). Britney could really be taking to heart all the media attention (Neptune) about her being a bad caregiver (Virgo) and undermining her baby's well-being (12th house). See Britney Spears' birth chart (Astrotheme)

Jupiter is retrograde and will make its last conjunction to Kevin's Uranus in mid-September (which could well be around the baby's actual birth date, considering how celebs like to pad their due dates). It's quite possible he could hang on till then in his basement lair, lurking in the corners of Britney's life. But Pluto has a way of unearthing the truth, and it won't be long before our beloved Britney sees the light about her marriage.

Britney Spears, Serial Mom

Oh, Britney, Britney, how was I supposed to know that something wasn't right here?

Oh, pretty Britney, I thought you just let yourself go... but now you're really pregnant. [Source - um, way to rip off my headline, CNN]

According to E! Online, "Spears is reportedly due in October, just a couple of weeks after Sean Preston [Federline]'s first birthday." [Source] Ah, but those two weeks mark the transition from Virgo to Libra, which means that Bebe Deux will be a very different personality from little SPF: social and outgoing where he is withdrawn and shy. If the baby is born in the early days of October with a charming, graceful Libra Sun and Venus, seductive Mercury in Scorpio and an audience-seeking Aquarius Moon, he/she could even follow in Britney's footsteps to become an artist (of sorts) and sex symbol. Well, not straight from the womb, obviously, but you know what I mean.

I cannot bring myself to comment further at this juncture, although the words "What kind of a God would allow this?" do come to mind. Rest assured that we will be maintaining a vigilant watch for any updates on Britney's due date. Meanwhile, people, I can't stress this enough: Get your local Federlines spayed and neutered!!!

Britney: Baby One More Time?

Oh, my poor, dear Britney. What can I say about your marriage, life and possible, now seemingly ever more certain, pregnancy that will get you to heed my warnings? Now the ever-reliable Us Weekly is reporting that Britney is definitely, visibly, inconcealably (especially in a bikini) pregnant, per a bunch of people sitting around a hotel pool, who obviously could not be wrong. [Source]

Supposedly Britney is due on October 2 or 3, which would make her second-born a Libra, a good match for a Sag like Britney (although very different from Virgo sib Sean Preston). See Sean Preston Federline's birth chart (Astrotheme) And if the baby were indeed born on Oct. 2 or 3, it would have an Aquarius Moon like Britney. See Britney Spears' birth chart (Astrotheme)

But is Britney really pregnant? The gossipmonger I respect most, Ted Casablanca, is voicing some suspicions:

"There was the Caesars employee who described Brit as 'definitely pregnant' only to shake her head and say 'of course, it could be baby weight.'

Far more insistent was one of K-Fed's numerous amigos.... 'I'm here with them,' he said, all proud.... 'And my boy's gonna be a daddy again. She's having the baby in September. C-section.'

Such odd talk from a dude, doncha think? Especially given that he was at a table full of strangers. Yet so specific was this information that I had no choice but to put in a call to Brit's lovely flack. Apparently, the Spears spokeswoman didn't like this guy's maneuverings, either. She hasn't responded. So far." [Source]

For the past couple of years, Neptune, the planet of confusion and deception, has been conjuncting Britney's Moon, representing the mother principle, in Aquarius, sign of the public and mass media, in the 5th house of childbirth. So it's no surprise that there is widespread lack of clarity about what's really happening in Brit's belly. With Mars having just crossed her Midheaven (career goals), she has recently been focused on her career (working on her album in Hawaii). Chiron, the planet of wounding, is inconjuncting Mars as it approaches a station within a few degrees of Britney's 5th-house Moon. This suggests that a pregnancy would force Britney to adjust her current career comeback-oriented M.O. If, as Us reports, she indeed cried when she got the pregnancy news, she could be grieving the loss of her album (a creative output that, like childbirth, is ruled by the 5th house) and the chance to get back into the spotlight, as well as the fact that another baby keeps her tethered to Kevin (Us says she had thoughts of splitting with him, hence the tears upon learning of the pregnancy).

Lord knows that as much as I love Britney, anything that keeps her married to Kevin, not to mention brings more Federlines into the world, cannot be a good thing. Well, of course time will tell whether Brit has a bun in the oven or just a little excess padding. I don't know what those people by the pool saw, but based on her chart alone, I'm still holding out some hope that my girl will wait to have her next baby with her next husband.

Sweet Jesus, Is Britney Pregnant Again?!

Rumors are running rampant that my dear Britney Spears may have yet another bun in her oven. The alternative view holds that Brit simply hasn't lost her pooch from the first one. This is clearly terrifying, because, I mean, what if Federline sperm is super-powerful and after Britney dumps him, Kevin opens a fertility clinic and the earth is overtaken by Federlines? This could be the doomsday prophecy of which the Mayans foretold! Leaving that aside for the moment, however, there are two pressing questions: (1) Is Britney indeed pregnant? and (2) How long till she pulls a Denise Richards and realizes that she's actually better off raising two kids on her own than having to care for the kids and a disease-ridden, impulse-control-challenged man-child?

Well, first things first. Britney is definitely in a strong nesting phase right now. She may have initially told People that she couldn't wait to get back on the road, but she does not want to stray far from home and her baby. In Britney's progressed chart (a measure of where a person has evolved to in her life), the Sun is conjunct the Descendant or cusp of the her natal 4th house, which rules home and family, and the Moon, the natural ruler of the 4th house, which is all about mothering and nurturing. She is strongly identified with her role as mother and nest-builder right now. (The fact that these planets are all in Capricorn may represent that Britney has to be the breadwinner and disciplinarian in the household as well as the nurturer.) Of course, the 4th house emphasis could just mean that Britney is focused on taking care of the child she already has. But with those Capricorn planets lined up, I wonder if she doesn't have a plan to put the mothering thing into high gear and become a baby factory now so she can get back to her career. (After all, why lose the baby weight when you're just gonna gain it back, y'all?)

Now, what about Kevin? Well, with Neptune, the planet of delusion and illusion, finally separating from Britney's Moon, the glow is wearing off her feelings for him. It's not like there are such great aspects for compatibiity in their charts, other than her Venus opposing his Mars, square her Pluto, which makes for all that hot sex she was always talking about on Chaotic. (Gross, yes, but frankly, I'm relieved to know that selfish, shiftless three-planets-in-Aries mofo is good for something.) Kevin's impulsive, spontaneous Sun in Aries trines Britney's Uranus in Sagittarius, which makes her feel wild, adventurous and free around him. Yet Britney's progressed chart, representing where she's at in her life now, shows that she is not really into expressing her free-spirited Sagittarian side right now. It would seem that Britney has grown while Kevin continues to be a party boy.

But, sad to say, that doesn't necessarily mean that Britney will sever ties with Kevin and permanently confiscate the Ferrari keys anytime soon. Neptune is still going to go retrograde and return to within 5° of Brit's Moon. And those Capricorn planets in her progressed chart could also speak to a dogged determination to keep her family together. I'm afraid she might not throw in the towel till late November, when retrograde Uranus stations in a square to her Sun and Britney just can't take it anymore and explodes.
