John F. Kennedy (U.S. President)


John F. Kennedy was the youngest man ever to be elected president of the United States. He was also the youngest president ever to be assassinated. The intrigue behind his life, loves and early death remain a hot topic of conversation, even decades later. Behind the conspiracy theories and illicit affairs, who was this man? Perhaps the stars can give us an idea.

Birth Details: May 29, 1917 Brookline Massachusetts

Born under a Gemini Sun, Kennedy could always see every side of a story. When he was in the House of Representatives, though his district contained mostly Democrats, he would occasionally veer toward Republican thought if he decided that was best. Highly intellectual, it's no surprise that the former president was also a Harvard man, and his intelligence was always apparent. While he definitely didn't graduate at the top of his high school class, he was still voted most likely to succeed.

Succeed he did, perhaps thanks to his Virgo Moon, which lends an influence quite different from that of flighty Gemini. This placement is one of restraint and inhibition, in certain respects. Not likely to be the life of the party, Kennedy still made himself heard. In work (and probably hygiene!), he had a very strict, impeccable routine, and he was also an upstanding citizen. Throughout his life, his habits seemed beyond reproach, from his participation in school athletics to his time in the Navy to a life in public office.

But some habits may not have been as impeccable as they seemed. With his Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter in the eighth house of sex, Kennedy was far from perfect. Romantically linked with such ladies as Marilyn Monroe, Zsa Zsa Gabor and Marlene Dietrich, Kennedy's romantic life far overstepped the bounds of traditional marriage vows. The eighth house also rules death and rebirth, which Kennedy experienced a lot of in his life, from his older brother's death in World War II to the loss of his youngest child shortly after the baby's birth to his own early death. He went through quite a bit of rebirth too: He suffered from a variety of health problems and illnesses, but always pulled through them. And though he rose steadily through the ranks in his political career, he was constantly diversifying his politics and trying new things.

With Mercury, Mars and Jupiter in Taurus, Kennedy was strongly influenced by the Bull, and his success was largely due to this steady drive and determination. He overcame some severe obstacles to get where he was and stay there. Kennedy's planet of communication, Mercury, tempered his prudence; he did not speak too intellectually or too foolishly, but in a personable way that allowed millions of people to understand him. The passion planet, Mars, in the sign of the bull explains his late start in politics. Unlike many politicians who were groomed for the job from birth, this man traveled, fought and wrote all before he began his official political career. The Bull may be slow to get going, but once it does, there's no stopping it.

Even with all that persistence, though, JFK was eventually stopped -- not by the Bull, but by a bullet. Though controversy still surrounds his assassination, conspiracy theories all seem rather unimportant when looking at the life of this former president. Though one can't be sure what his destiny would have been had he lived, five fixed planets indicate that it would have been more of the same -- his dogged determination and common sense would have kept him on top. The loss of John F. Kennedy was the loss of a great thinker and a leader who did more good than most.

Naomi Campbell (Supermodel)


What does catwalk queen Naomi Campbell have to smile about? Everything, you'd think -- yet the supermodel is in a perpetual pout. Must be the look. This beauty with flowing locks and legs up to there has certainly made her mark on the fashion world, gracing innumerable magazine covers around the globe while still finding time to be a big-name heartbreaker.

Birth Details:May 22, 1970 London, England

Born with her Sun in Gemini, Campbell is versatile, witty and clever to the max. She may quite often be lost in thought (perhaps explaining the pouty visage -- she's not pouting, just pondering?), yet she can ably do two things at once in the best Gemini tradition. Since her Sun is opposite illusory Neptune, those mental gymnastics morph into a fantasy world that knows no bounds. Campbell will have difficulty distinguishing reality from illusion -- and her fast-lane life of rock stars and rocking till dawn isn't likely to be any help. Neptune's eye often turns to glamour, illusion and escapism, so this lady's chosen career in modeling may actually offer her an outlet for her mysterious energies.

With her Moon in Sagittarius, Campbell once again finds that modeling is a good fit. She enjoys travel and gravitates to foreigners to help satisfy her basic yearning to know the meaning of life. Sagittarius speaks to the spiritual and to a quest for truth. As a result, Campbell is likely to focus on one topic and go deep. Her wits have gotten her where she is -- with a little help from the answers she's picked up along the way.

Thanks to her Mercury in Taurus, Campbell has a sharp, practical mind. Since Mercury is conjunct taskmaster Saturn here, she may feel a bit insecure about her ability to speak her mind in an intelligent, clear manner. This abrogation of self may have been hammered home at an early age, perhaps by an authority figure.

With Venus in Gemini, Campbell is once again thinking big, this time about how much she'd like her lover to be her intellectual equal. Since Venus is at the 29th, or anaretic, degree in her chart, Naomi clearly has something to learn from her relationships. Luckily for her, she'll have plenty of practice, since she's quite adept at juggling two beaux at once. Furthermore, with Venus square both rebellious Uranus and powerful Pluto in her chart, Campbell has the charisma to overshadow most of her self-doubts, and you can bet it will be on her terms.

Mars also finds itself in Gemini, a surefire sign that Campbell is a terrific tease and quick to debate just for the fun of it. Make no mistake, though: When she gets down to business, she'll have information to burn and just the remark to put others at ease. And with Mars square Pluto, the last word will be Naomi's -- period.
