McCarthy Muses on Son Evan's Dating Future

Jenny McCarthy has a new show starting soon, called Love in the Wild, so she recently shared some thoughts with Parade magazine on her son's dating future and what she predicts for him:

"I can already tell his mannerisms and behaviors with his pretend girlfriends. He'll be ahead of the guys because he's very honest with his emotions and shows affection. So he's got that covered. But he doesn't like it when anyone is sad and disappointed and I'm afraid a girl might play that card."

10 year old Evan has his moon in Leo, which can be a very demonstrative and affectionate sign. Leo moons don't like to hold back or do anything small, but have an emotional energy that is meant to express itself outward. Leos love to shower the ones they love with attention and receive it in return.

Evan also has Neptune opposite his Moon, which tends to reveal a very open heart (sometimes too open!) With Neptune aligns with the moon in any way, intuition, imagination, and creativity can certainly be present in high amounts, but most of all, it can indicate a highly empathetic heart, one who is sensitive to the moods of others around them and can relate sometimes too well to what others are feeling, even if they don't understand why someone may be feeling a certain way. Looks like Jenny knows her son well!

Suri Surely an Actress?

This summer, Katie Holmes told InStyle magazine that she thinks Suri will be an actress!

"She's an amazing athlete, singer and dancer, and I think she'll probably be an actress."

Of course, mom couldn't be biased about her daughter's talents, surely! But while many celebrity moms worry about their kids in the business, I guess the business has been good enough to Katie that she wouldn't mind it for her daughter. She's certainly got acting in her blood, but will she really be an actress?


Actors and actresses come with charts of all kinds, but it's not surprising or uncommon to find a Piscean and/or Neptunean influence. This planet and sign create fluidity in a personality, making it easier to become a chameleon. Like water filling a glass, a bucket, or a bowl, it takes on the shape of its container, just like an actor might with a role.

Suri has Neptune very close to her Ascendant. Any planet close to the Ascendant often colors the overall personality, style, and appearance of that person. Someone with Mars close to the Ascendant might be very driven or aggressive, for instance, while someone with Uranus close to the Ascendant will certainly stand out in a crowd, dressing and acting in a way that sets them apart from the norm. So Neptune, the planet of the shifter, the chameleon, often makes the person seem like a bit of an enigma. She may reflect the moods and expectations of those looking at her (can you say Quantum Astrology?!), which can be great for an actress, although challenging sometimes in real life.

Suri would probably be able to take on the different identities of her roles rather easily. And she certainly already has the wardrobe changes down pat!

My daughter Angela is a pretty happy and enthusiastic child, but can be overbearing and hyper. Sometimes it seems like she's the 'bull in a china shop.' She also seems to burn hot and fast all day, just go go go, and then just crash out when she finally falls asleep at night. I'm wondering if this is just because she's so young or if this is part of her personality?

Amy answers:
I first note the fact that Angela's got three planets in Gemini, which can tend to be a rather active sign, especially in children, who live in a world where there is so much to see and do and learn at a rapid rate. It can be a frenetic kind of energy sometimes, like she's going every direction at once.

One thing that could be enhancing it is the planet Neptune right on her Aquarius Ascendant. The Ascendant is where we take in the energy of the world on a moment to moment basis, interacting with our surroundings on an instinctual basis, so it's a sort of gateway to the world at large. Neptune is a planet that is very highly attuned and sensitive, so having it right at this 'gateway' for her heightens her sensitivity to sights, sounds, impressions, and just general raw data she's receiving every minute. It's rather like being overstimulated because one is so sensitive, even if others in the same situation don't feel overwhelmed.

Watch closely to see how she reacts in situations that are loud, crazy, crowded, or with a lot going on. Some children (and adults) shut down in situations like this and avoid them. Even if she doesn't do this in an obvious way (crying or hiding), the symptoms of overwhelm may still be present, such as a lack of ability to concentrate, or absorbing the energy around her and then going from active to overly hyper in the blink of an eye as if the energy she absorbed has filled her up and needs to exit somehow. These might be good times to see if you can remove her from the situation and get a little more quiet so she can focus and calm down. She's got her Moon in Taurus, so she has a real emotional need for a sense of stability and calm, which can make it even more important to be aware when she's overstimulated, and might also explain why she seems to 'burn out and crash' rather than simply relax and fall asleep.

It's likely that with that Taurus Moon, and Mars in Cancer, she will mellow out a bit as she gets older. She's got her south node in Scorpio, which is a very intense energy, and she's working toward her north node in Taurus, which is a more calming, stable energy. She'll probably always have a bit of an eccentric side, which most will probably find quite charming, but as she gets older she can learn to channel the energy she absorbs rather than have it overwhelm her, learning to stabilize herself. Until then, as her parent, you can help her by providing stability, calming exercises, and awareness of her needs.

Would you like some input on how to understand and nurture your child in the most effective way for their unique needs? Amy offers readings for parents and children; find out more at her website.

Suri Cruise is 4 years old

Suri Cruise, daughter of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, will turn 4 years old on Sunday. Her 2nd birthday party was a backyard shindig complete with a 4 tier birthday cake. Her 3rd was a smaller princess party for family and friends. What will 4 years old bring?

Astrologically, Suri's progressed moon is right on top of her Neptune in her 12th house. Neptune in the 12th house represents the world of dreams and imagination. Here's hoping whatever the Cruise's do to celebrate Suri's 4th birthday, that it's out of this world!
