Global Ambassador, Mom, Star: Reese Witherspoon

USA Today has run a story profiling the work of Aries actress Reese Witherspoon. Witherspoon with a Moon in Sagittarius or Capricorn (time of birth unknown March 22, 1976, New Orleans, LA) has been a good-will global ambassador for Avon. Here she is showing of the empowerment necklace that helps raise money for issues such as breast cancer, domestic violence and emergency relief through the Avon Empowerment Fund.

Witherspoon noted that its hard to travel with two small children but that her two children, 9 year old Ava and five year old Deacon have been

effected by her charitable work:

"They're very interested in green issues. They're very into recycling and composting — things they can do within their own school communities."

Ava is a double Virgo (Sun and Moon in the sign of Virgo) conjunct a Mercury in Virgo so it makes sense that she would be involved in green issues, like cleaning up the environment Her little brother Deacon was born with his Sun in Libra or in Scorpio, he was born on a 'cusp day" if he was born before noon his Sun is in Libra (as is his Moon) if he's born later in the twenty four hour period, he's a Scorpio.

Virgo Child and Brother: Oscar Mom Was Cool Once

Reese Witherspoon told Fox News in a recent

interview that her kids nine year old Ava and six year old Deacon are embarrassed by her.

My children are embarrassed at me all the time. They're like ‘mom your being really stupid’,"Witherspoon told us in a recent interview. "When ‘Monsters vs. Aliens’ came out Ava told me I'm the coolest mom in the third grade. I said ‘can you put it on a piece of paper and sign it for me please’. I was cool once."

The uber-famous actress had her first child at 23. This is most likely the child who is most embarrassed by her, she has a Moon, Sun and Mercury in the sign of Virgo! and her attitude probably affects her younger brother.

If you have a child born on the same day and year of either Ava (Sept 9, 1999) or Deacon (October 23, 2003) Mademoiselle will send you a gift Kiddiegram report. Offer will expire June 30th, 2009.

September CeleBaby RoundUp Featuring Tennessee James

Boy, oh boy!

Reese Witherspoon welcomed a baby boy on the morning of September 27th, with husband Jim Toth. Her third child and second son is named Tennessee James, and joins almost-9-year-old older brother Deacon Reese and 13-year-old older sister Ava Elizabeth. Ava and Tennessee share a September birthday, but unlike Virgo Ava, Tennessee is a Libra. Deacon's birth time is not publicly known, and since he was born on the cusp of Virgo and Libra (the day when the Sun moves from Virgo to Libra), Mlle. Kiddie isn't sure whether he is a Virgo or Libra. But either way, he's covered! He shares a sun sign with at one of his siblings!

Tennessee has a calm and steady Taurus south node, so he's likely to enter the world with an easy-going disposition for the most part. However, his sensitive Pisces moon is made even more sensitive being so close to Neptune and Chiron, so as he grows, even in the early months and first year of his life, he'll become more and more soft-hearted and tender and will need more emotional care than Reese's other two might have required. 

Tennessee has quite the artist's life in front of him, if he's so inclined, with his imaginative Pisces Moon, his artistically and creative Libra Sun, and his expressive Venus in Leo. Librans are known as the relationship or partnership sign, but an equally important aspect of Libra is their grace and heightened sense of what is aesthetically pleasing due to their ability to see and create things that are in harmony and balance in their elements.

Mlle. Kiddie also sends happy wishes to these celebrities who welcomed Virgo babies in September:

• Vanessa and Nick Lachey welcomed a boy, Camden John, on September 12th, at 6:54 pm.
• Model Adrianna Lima and her husband Marko Jarić welcomed their second daughter, Sienna, on September 12th in New York City.
• Actress Melissa Joan Hart and her husband Mark Wilkerson welcomed the third of three boys, Tucker, on September 18th at 10:00 pm.
• Television host Carson Daly and his girlfriend Siri Pinter welcomed a girl, Etta, at 5:15 pm on September 6th.

Tennessee's birth time is not publicly known, although it is known he was born at least before 8:00 am. No potentially incorrect interpretation due to lack of birth time has been given.

Witherspoon Understands If Her Kids Choose Spotlight

Aries Oscar Star Reese Witherspoon was raised by two physicians who supported her desire at the age of seven to be a "star".

Witherspoon now promoting her latest film 4 Christmases, has said in an interview with British magazine Hello that she would support her children's desire to follow in her footsteps as an actor. Her two children with her ex, actor Ryan Phillippe, are nine year old Virgo daughter Ava Elizabeth (Sept 9, 1999) born the day before her Dad's 25th birthday and Libra son Deacon Reese born October 23, 2003.

Without Reese's precise birth time, her solar chart wheel indicates she could have a moon in Sagittarius or in Capricorn. The solar chart we show here indicates a Moon in Capricorn. Mlle Kiddie of Kiddiegram notes that Her daughter Ava is a double Virgo, with sun and moon in the sign of Virgo. Her son Deacon could be double Libra, with sun and moon in the sign of Libra unless he was born nearer midnight as then his Moon would be in Virgo. His Virgo father Ryan Phillppe was born September 10, 1974 in New Castle Delaware. Mademoiselle Kiddie of Kiddiegram.com notes that his Moon is in either Cancer or Gemini.(birth data source vegaattractions.com)

She guesses he's a Moon in Cancer cause he's a good cook, and is a nurturing hands on Dad.
Do you know your child's Moon? Sun Signs are easily found unless a child is born on a cusp. To calculate the correct Moon one must have a precise birth time. Mademoiselle Kiddie

Happy Birthday Virgo Kids!

The Sun is in Virgo from August 23rd to September 23 this year, which means Mlle. Kiddie is much overdue to wish these youngsters a happy birthday!

Virgo children are keen observers and love to learn. They, like Gemini, are ruled by the planet Mercury, the planet of the mind, but where Gemini goes in many directions, Virgos like to focus and analyze what they see. They catch a lot of details that others miss, and are fascinated with the inner workings and structure of whatever they are examining.

A Virgo child really loves to be helpful. Virgo is the sign of service, so it takes pride in feeling like it has something of worth to offer. It's one of the reasons a Virgo child can get so upset when they feel like they are doing something wrong or failing the objective, whether it's a task or a game. Sometimes they may avoid trying something new out of fear of failing or because they don't like the awkwardness of the learning curve. They are very sensitive to criticism, because they can be so hard on themselves in this regard. They will enjoy clear instructions and rules so they know what expectations they can meet, but they often expect more of themselves than even you do!

Last year we visited the chart of then 2-1/2 year old Valentina Pinault, daughter of beauty Salma Hayek, and found out she wasn't buying the tall tale of Santa Claus. Virgo children can be pretty shrewd! It's hard to pull the wool over their eyes, although if you can spin a tale that seems to make logical sense, they just might go for it. Mlle. Kiddie wonders if Salma has had any luck in her quest!

Astrological Milestones: Saturn and Growing Up

copyright Bill Watterson

In astrology, Saturn is the planet that represents our progression toward maturity, responsibility, and self-sufficiency. Yes, Calvin, it is the planet of building character. It's place in our chart describes where we will need to work hard in order to reap the benefits, and where no one can really help us or do it for us because we must be willing to go it alone and persist in our efforts in order to come out on the other side with a sense of accomplishment and pride in the hard work we've done. Someone with Saturn in their 6th house of work might find that they will not have promotions fall easily into their lap, but will benefit from persistent effort in climbing their way up the ladder under their own power. Someone with Saturn in their 9th house of higher education may have had to work harder to achieve their degree, for various reasons, but will have the pride in making it through on their own. This is Saturn's promise.

At the moment we are born, every planet in the current sky is frozen in place, seemingly imprinted on us in the form of our natal chart. As the planets continue to move in the sky, they form connections to their original location at the time of our birth. It's easiest to see this in the example of a planetary return, which simply means any time a planet returns to the place it was at the time of your birth. The Mars Return was discussed in an earlier entry, which happens every 2 or so years.

When Saturn returns at age 29-1/2, we tend to experience a great lesson in growing up, and a prompt for reflection about what it means to be entering our 30s and the beginning of the mid-life period. But a return is not the only meaningful connection a planet can make to our own chart. At approximately ages 5, 7, 10, 15 and on up, Saturn is making a connection to our charts. Each of these connections at these different ages represents a time in our life where we are faced with an opportunity to do a little growing up. These small milestones can sometimes be pivotal turning points in our view of ourselves and our own capability.

Sometimes we are given the opportunity to grow and take on additional responsibility, which any parent knows can give a child a sense of pride and a welcome feeling of having an important duty to fulfill. A great example might be the birth of a new sibling, which can prompt the necessity of fulfilling the Big Brother or Big Sister role and being a helper and caretaker rather than the one being taken care of. Another example might be the first day of school, where the child enters a phase of their life in which they manage things more on their own than they do at home; a need to take on the responsibilities of managing their schoolwork and following instructions.

There are times when the Saturn prompt to mature teaches us self-sufficiency due to circumstances that force us to stop relying on something we have been because we now need to learn to stand on our own. While these circumstances aren't fun and may even be frightening or painful, they allow us to have a real sense of our strength, of what we're capable of, even when the chips or down, or perhaps especially when the chips are down, as we rise to a challenge.

Let's take a look at not-so-little-anymore Ava Phillippe, daughter of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe. In October of 2006, when she was 7 years old, her parents announced their separation and filed for divorce, an event that came in Ava's life only a month after she experienced what's known as her Saturn square, a time when sometimes difficult circumstances prompt our growth. Ava's Saturn is in Taurus, a sign which represents a desire for stability and a fixed routine. In this case, the divorce of Ava's parents would have awakened her to the reality that she will not be able to remain in the same sheltered parental/family structure that she had up until now. The challenge for her was to recognize that not only can a new structure can be built, but that she is resilient enough to withstand that change and create a sense of stability and resilience in herself even as her world changes. 

Being the eldest child, perhaps she might have even taken it upon herself to offer shelter and support to her younger brother Deacon, especially since her Sun and Moon are in Virgo, a sign oriented toward service. What might have been a great way to support Ava during this transition would be to help her realize that her structure isn't lost, just changing, and to recognize the role she can play in creating the new one, thereby encouraging her to see where she can take control of this part of her life in how she moves forward as the family changes.

It can be very useful for a parent to understand some of the milestones that don't always have a marker in everyday life, but which astrology tracks quite reliably. In the case of Saturn, a parent can use this knowledge to see how they can assist their child going through a time when they need to learn to stand on their own, so they can feel supported and encouraged to find their own footing as opposed to feeling alone or helpless.

Happy Birthday Scorpio Kids!

The Sun is in Scorpio this year from October 22nd to November 22nd. Happy birthday to all those Scorpio kiddos (and their mommies and daddies)!

Kids with prominent Scorpio planets in their charts, especially the Sun and/or the Moon, tend to be very perceptive. Scorpio loves a mystery: whether it's figuring out a traditional 'whodunnit' story, or researching a topic to figure out the elusive answers, they have a need to know that's not so much out of curiosity as out of a desire for truth.

Their 'sixth sense' ability also makes them good at picking up on the sometimes hidden and non-verbal signals that happen in every-day interactions between people and figuring out what's going on beneath the surface. Therefore, one of the most important things a parent can do for their Scorpio child is tell them the truth. Scorpio needs straight talk and honesty, appropriate for their age of course, but not the sugar-coating that might be tempting when parents find themselves on the end of an uncomfortable question from their child!

Willow Smith celebrates her 10th birthday this Halloween! More about Scorpio from Willow's Kiddiegram:

Willow is a child of powerful feelings, emotional extremes, and great sensitivity and depth, sometimes marked by a rather quiet demeanor. At heart she is a very private, even secretive, soul, and her need for a room of her own, or a hideaway in the backyard, or some other personal, unassailable place where she can be alone at times, is quite strong. She may well be sociable and friendly enough, but she likes to be the one in control of when, and with whom, she shares herself.

Her feelings tend to run hot or cold - she loves you or she hates you (sometimes both!), with equal fervor. There is a rather dramatic emotional side to her, and it may seem that she exaggerates her feelings. She is rarely lukewarm.
