Robert Downey Jr.'s Junior

Aries Robert Downey Jr. and his wife Susan welcomed their new son, Exton Elias, on Tuesday morning in Los Angeles. 

Exton is not a twin, but many things in his chart reveal more than one personality (metaphorically speaking, of course!). To mention a few: first, he was born with the south node in Gemini which lends curiosity, a strong intellect, and good verbal skills, but a lesser well-known quality of Gemini comes from the symbol that represents it: the twins. Gemini is a sign that has a strong element of duality. 

This duality ripples through Exton's chart. His Aquarius Sun and Mercury are hidden away in the private 12th house. The Sun represents our core "power source," it is central to our sense of self and cohesiveness. In the 12th house, Exton will be most comfortable recharging himself with solitude, or more likely, retreating into his mind and imagination in the mental air sign of Aquarius.

But Exton was born with an engaging Leo moon, as it was building toward the full moon phase. The full moon, occurring when the moon is farthest away from the sun as depicted in an astrological chart, is fully illuminated and therefore bright and visible for all to see. These souls are often moved to extend themselves out into the world, whether it's socially, professionally, creatively, etc.

While Exton probably will not be overly gregarious in his personality characteristics, he will likely have quite a magnetic presence. The most striking thing about his chart is the planet Neptune, which is parked right on his Ascendant. The Ascendant is not just how we approach the world, it is also the impression that the world gets of us and therefore, how it responds to us. Neptune has a kind of mystery and fantasy about it that draws us to it. If you're wearing it on your sleeve, the world is drawn to you! But there is always that enigmatic quality to these people that leaves us wondering what's really going on behind-the-scenes.

Magnetic and captivating celebrities with Neptune close to the Ascendant: Marilyn Monroe, Bjork, Paul McCartney, Paris Hilton, and Suri Cruise.

Haven's 'Haven'

Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren welcomed their second daughter, Haven Garner, just shy of two months ago. Jessica shows off her new baby in People, where the couple talked about the inspiration for Haven's name.

Haven was born in the caul, which means she was delivered inside the amniotic sac. Because she was "born in her safe haven," as dad Cash put it, they chose Haven.

Haven was born while Mars was in the sign of Cancer, so she'll definitely appreciate a safe haven. Perhaps that's why she decided to try and bring hers with her! But this little one was born with three planets in Leo, a sign of dynamic self-expression, and not one to hide their light under a bushel (or a haven, as it were). She was also born during a full moon.

The full moon, occurring when the moon is farthest away from the sun as depicted in an astrological chart, is fully illuminated and therefore bright and visible for all to see. These souls are often moved to extend themselves out into the world, whether it's socially, professionally, creatively, etc. Haven is not likely to stay in a safe haven for long, as she's going to have great gifts to share with us all!
