Victim? Vixen? In control or out-of-control? The debate over Pisces singer Rihanna has been a hot one for the last few years. And fuel has just been heaped onto that fire with a leaked copy of her new song “Birthday Cake,” an unlikely duet between her and Taurus ex Chris Brown, who was charged with beating her three years ago.

This week, four planets are visiting Pisces, the zodiac’s hazy, confusing and oft-contradictory 12th sign. The Sun, messenger Mercury, boundary-blurring Neptune and yesterday’s new moon all gathered in Pisces, the sign of secrets, soulfulness, suffering and the subconscious. What’s real? What’s an illusion? What makes sense? The Pisces pileup has us questioning everything. That can make for a heady and head-spinning week.

I (Ophira) certainly felt that way when I heard “Birthday Cake” yesterday. I was at a North Carolina university giving a speech on body image and women’s empowerment (my other longtime passion — see www.loveyourbody.org) when I heard the song. Feeling especially sensitized to the subject matter, I was taken aback by Brown’s X-rated opener: “Girl I wanna **** you right now/Been a long time/I’ve been missing your body.”

Huh?

Pisces is the sign of karma. It brings the past back around for examination, healing and recovery. Under Pisces’ influence, secrets spill out into the…

Like the rest of the world, we were shocked when the news hit that 48-year-old Whitney Houston had tragically passed. Oddly, we were in Beverly Hills visiting a friend at the Hilton, the site of Whitney’s death, that very day. The hotel was packed, but not with paparazzi—there were music industry insiders glammed up for Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy gala, at which Whitney was supposed to perform. The contrast (a red carpet, flashing lights, a luxury car on display) was bizarre and unsettling.
 
Why now? Neptune, the planet that rules substances, healing and psychic wounds, just began a 14-year cycle into Pisces, Whitney’s eighth house of death and addictions. While this could have been an important time for Whitney to address her longstanding battle with drugs, unfortunately, she succumbed to their effects. The eighth house rules privacy, and the pressure to perform as part of the Grammys extravaganza may have been too much for Whitney, leading her to self-medicate her anxieties. Neptune and Pisces govern water, making it extra chilling that her life ended in a bathtub.
 
A couple days before Whitney’s death, tough Saturn went retrograde (backward) in Libra, her third house of the voice and communication. Saturn retrograde can bring up old…

Gisele Bundchen’s Cranky Cancerian Superbowl Rant
Sportsmanship and supermodels made an awkward mix when Cancerian Gisele Bundchen was caught on camera making a cursing rant about her Leo husband Tom Brady’s Super Bowl loss. And now the Brazilian beauty is paying the price, as the video makes the rounds online. We’ll chalk this up to the T-square between the Cancer Moon, hotheaded Uranus and stern Saturn. With Gisele being a Cancer, this would put…

Demi Moore (Scorpio)’s Struggles
We’re still rooting for Demi Moore, a private Scorpio who is no doubt embarrassed by the public breakdown in the wake of her divorce from Aquarius Ashton Kutcher. Expansive Jupiter is in her seventh house of relationships, but this doesn’t just mean romantic ones. Demi is probably learning from this experience how to open up to other people and lean on them for support. With boundary-blurring Neptune rounding out a 14-year visit to Aquarius, her fourth house of personal affairs, no surprise this has leaked into the public eye. Neptune also rules addictions and substance abuse, so…

So sad! The roster of Gemini breakups and rifts is getting longer by the day. First, Scorpio Katy Perry and Gemini Russell Brand’s marriage turned sour, and Brand stunned Katy by filing for divorce when they spent the holidays separately. Then, news broke that Johnny Depp was estranged from Capricorn partner Vanessa Paradis, living “sad, separate lives” in spite of having two beautiful kids.

But the biggest shocker was PDA-happy parents Seal (a Pisces) and Gemini Heidi Klum. We never expected those “Project Runway” shears would cut her man…

Word on the celebrity grapevine is that Gemini Johnny Depp and Capricorn Vanessa Paradis have drifted into separate lives. Whose enquiring mind DOESN’T want to know…will the world’s hottest pirate be up for grabs in the near future?

It’s quite possible. Johnny Depp is a Gemini, and the planets have been sending the zodiac’s Twins through quite a romantic obstacle course lately. Since December 2010, a series of eclipses on the Gemini/Sagittarius axis have illuminated trouble spots in the love lives of people born under this sign. A lunar eclipse on December 10, 2011, may have been the final straw to an issue that has been building for Depp and Paradise since a solar eclipse in Gemini on June 1.  Also, since…

Halle Berry (Leo) Is Engaged
Congrats to Halle Berry, who’s now engaged to Capricorn Olivier Martinez. There’s something about these two signs, different as they are, that always attracts. Leo and Capricorn are five signs apart, which is a karmic match, so the attraction is never superficial! Gabriel Aubry, father of Halle’s daughter Nahla, is also a Capricorn. However, it can have its challenges, since Leo is so outgoing and glamorous and Capricorn can be a stern, behind-the-scenes type. But when it’s right, it’s really right, and these two may even have been together in past lives. With Leo women, who are famous for multiple marriages and serial monogamy (cue Leo sisters Jennifer Lopez and Madonna), you never know!

Nothing Compares 2U? Sagittarius Sinead O’Connor Calls Off Divorce
It’s been 7 hours and 16 days … since Sinead O’Connor got married, filed for divorce, and then decided her fourth marriage was back on again after a night of “lovemaking.” Well, Sagittarius is the zodiac’s bachelorette, so this kind of wild behavior isn’t entirely out of character, especially since there was a total lunar eclipse in Sinead’s marriage house last month. However, there are some wellness issues here to address — and with her ruler, Jupiter, in her health house until June, we hope she tackles them. Just like her Sagittarius signmate Britney Spears, Sinead wed in Vegas and also suffers from bipolar disorder. (In fact, Sinead wed in the very same Little White Wedding Chapel where Britney got hitched in 2004.) Sinead released another bizarro statement, saying, “We decided to be boyfriend and girlfriend again and stay married.” Boyfriend and girlfriend? Or husband and wife? We’re already worried.

Scorpio Katy Perry & Gemini Russell Brand: Splitsville
We have to admit, as fun as this crazy couple seemed, we weren’t gonna bet any money on them. Gemini and Scorpio are five signs apart, which can be a karmic yet challenging match. Despite their public personas, their signs are incredibly different. Scorpio is an intense, internal…

The economy might be down, but baby making is up! In Chinese astrology, 2012 will be the Year of the Dragon, a time that legends say can bring a lot of important births. It seems some of the celebs out there have been busy preparing. Here’s who will bring little ones into the world next year.

Kourtney Kardashian (Aries)
The eldest Kardashian sister recently announced that she’s expecting baby #2 with Gemini partner Scott Disick. Will it be a brother or a sister for Sagittarius cutie Mason? No idea yet, but Kourtney’s due date is sometime in July. If it’s earlier in the month, the baby will be a Cancer, which is very different than the three current family members’ signs and will introduce a sweeter (but needier) dynamic. If it’s later in July, they’ll have a Leo, which will mean all three Fire signs are represented in the family, and poor Scott (an Air sign) will be outnumbered even more.

Jennifer Garner (Aries)
Jennifer and Leo hubby Ben Affleck will soon bring…

Model Lauren Scruggs & Mercury Retrograde in Sagittarius
In a freak accident, “Gossip Girl” alum, model and blogger Lauren Scruggs walked into the moving propeller of a plane last weekend, causing severe damage to the left side of her body. She lost her left hand, sustained head injuries and may even lose her left eye. So tragic! Although we couldn’t find her astrological sign, we’re looking at Mercury, ruler of travel and the hands, which is currently retrograde (moving backward) in Sagittarius, ruler of airplanes and also a sign prone to absent-mindedness. Mercury retrograde can cause complications with travel, and with Uranus retrograde in Aries (ruler of the head), this doubled the chances for…
