Mayim Bialik's Road Trip to Mars

Mom of two, Mayim Bialik (Blossom, Big Bang Theory), recently shared some experiences from what she calls the "Family Road Trip From Hell" on Kveller.com. In one amusing anecdote which she refers to as "The Pasta/Ketchup Incident," she describes the "holy fit" her son, 3-1/2 year-old Fred, threw when he couldn't have ketchup on his noodles. 

While it's not at all unusual for a 3-1/2 year-old to throw a fit, it just so happens that Fred was born when the sign of Virgo was rising, making Virgo the sign of his Ascendant, and during the period of time that the family was on the road trip, Mars was traveling over the same space that marks Fred's Ascendant, giving potential to have it triggered (or shall we say, detonated?!) 

Mars is a planet of will, action, and aggression, and its presence encourages us to go after what we want, pushing at boundaries and exercising our sense of power. For a 3-1/2 year old, it's not about strategy, but immediacy: I want!

Blossom's Late Bloomers

In an interview for Parent&Child magazine, Mayim Bialik (from TV's Blossom and more recently, The Big Bang Theory) talked about her kids, Miles, 5, and Frederick, 3, and whether they might follow in her footsteps as an actor.

"My boys both like to sing and be playful at home, but whenever a camera is turned on them or even if too much attention comes their way, they will stop immediately and blush. That’s not the exact profile of a child actor!"

It came as a surprise to Mlle. Kiddie, then, to find out that 3-year-old Frederick has an expressive Leo Sun in the 11th house of the public - an astrological sign of a born actor! But Freddie has a Virgo Ascendant, so everything in his chart must 'filter' itself through the Virgo lens.

Virgo is not necessarily a shy energy, but it is rather modest and certainly cautious. Freddie approaches the world carefully and thoughtfully, which can curb the sometimes boisterous energy of Leo. Planets in the 11th house are often said to develop later in life, blossoming over time, so it's likely that after Freddie gets a little life under his belt, he'll find his audience, even if it's not on the screen!
