Scorpio Signature Star Child: Fraternal Twins Zoe Grace & Thomas Boone Quaid

Fraternal Twins Zoe Grace & Thomas Boone, daughter and son of Dennis Quaid and Kimberly Buffington are our featured Scorpio Signature Star Children!

(Because they are fraternal twins born within two minutes of each other, Thomas and Zoe's natal chart will look effectively identical)

Thomas and Zoe were born just before the new moon, with both the Sun and Moon in intense Scorpio, doubling their thirst to experience life deeply, always wanting to dig down to the truth, and never letting anything get in their way! Scorpio's ability to focus with razor sharpness on an idea can give them a tendency to stick stubbornly to fixed ideas, but with planet-of-the-mind Mercury in balanced Libra, they will develop the ability to see things from multiple perspectives. With three important planets in the eleventh house of the public, they may grow up to be in the spotlight like dad, although perhaps not right on center stage since Scorpios like their privacy.

Zoe and Thomas were also born with Sagittarius Rising, the sign of the seeker and explorer. With Jupiter and Pluto so close together, also in Sagittarius, they will develop strong convictions early on and maintain that questing attitude all their lives. Whatever sparks the twins' passion will be a constant fuel for their never-ending energy.

More from Thomas and Zoe's Kiddiegram:

Jupiter in 1st house:

     Zoe & Thomas Quaid tend to be fortunate because of the positive first impression they make on both other children and adults. Instinctively they put their best foot forward, and come across as confident, open people who can afford to be generous to others. They will want to participate in a lot of extracurricular activities, and be well known and popular at school and in the community.  They could be "big fish in a small pond," too.

Jupiter Conjunct Pluto:

     Zoe & Thomas Quaid have very strong ambitions and aspirations, though they may be disinclined to divulge the nature or the extent of them.  They achieve almost magical results when they make a decision and direct their will.  They don't avoid difficult experiences either, but actually seek them out to learn and grow from. Their powers of recuperation and regeneration are excellent also.

Sarah Jessica Parker's Twosome

In a interview with Parade magazine, Sarah Jessica Parker revealed some tidbits about the personality of her twins, Loretta and Tabitha, who just turned 2 in June:

“Loretta is deeply inquisitive: ‘Do you see that, do you hear that, Mama?’ She constantly checks that we are connecting with her.” Her sister is the family princess: “Tabitha does not give; she receives.”

One of the theories about twins in astrology is that each twin presents stronger in different areas of the chart; one may reveal some of the more outgoing components, the other the more introverted components, for example. If this is true, Tabitha is probably channeling the 'royalty' face of her Leo south node--a princess in a prior life would certainly expect to be treated as one in this life! No doubt that her mom and dad can provide a life where she won't have to go without, monetarily speaking, but Capricorn mom Sarah will certainly be grounded enough to help this princess land with her feet on the ground (in fabulous shoes, no doubt):

“[Tabitha] can put on any kind of shoe—she gets the feet right, figures out the Velcro. Yesterday she had on my husband’s shoes, mine, her brother’s, her sister’s, and a babysitter’s.”

"Deeply inquisitive" Loretta sounds like she's presenting the face of Mercury in Gemini (inquisitive) in the 8th house (deeply) that the girls share. Mercury in Gemini can be quite alert and curious, but put it in this mysterious and almost psychic house and Loretta will probably ask penetrating questions far beyond her youth. She'll probably have a knack for knowing when she's not getting the whole story as well. With Virgo Rising, these girls can focus their powers of observation sharply.

The girls share Venus and Mars in the 7th house of relationship as well, so they'll likely need a lot of connection to feel like they're being heard and understood, but also as a way to compare what others see to what they see. But at the very least, a princess needs her subjects!!

Mariah Carey & Nick Cannon See Double

Mariah Carey will be getting double the Mother's Day love today, just over a week after giving birth to twins on her 3rd wedding anniversary! On April 30th, Taurus twins Monroe and Moroccan, daughter and son, respectively, arrived on the scene. Nick and Mariah renewed their vows in the hospital.

The twins arrived around 9:07 am, which gives them a Gemini Ascendant, the sign of the twins. But the bulk of their planets all lie in Aries: Uranus, Moon, Venus, Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter all line up across their 10th and 11th houses. Aries is all about learning initiative and to take leaps to go after what one wants. Aries is learning not to be shy or hesitant, but to allow themselves to boldly and unapologetically be a force in the world. That goes double, at least, for these twins, with that many planets in this sign.

The 10th and 11th houses represent the public arena of our lives, ranging anywhere from our chosen career, to fame, to being involved in groups or causes, to simply finding our destiny 'out there in the world'. Most striking is the tight Venus and Moon conjunction in their 10th house. Venus is a planet of creativity as well as the planet of relating, and having the goddess of love and beauty here reveals a likelihood of these two being very charming, and able to use their grace and talents to charm others, possibly even making a career out of the arts as mom and dad have done, especially since it lies rather close to Mercury, the planet of the mind and voice.

Also striking is their Mars and Jupiter conjunction. Mars is quite comfortable in Aries and ready to shoot off into the stratosphere, especially with Jupiter adding it's 'bigness' to the mix. These two will be able to accomplish whatever they dream, with the Mars initiative and Jupiter's desire to aim high.

As children in the meantime, Mariah and Nick can expect to have their hands very full! These children will have an overload of energy and endless curiosity, so their ability to get themselves quickly into trouble will probably surprise them. Congratulations to the happy family!

Gosselin Kids' Growing Pains

People Magazine reported earlier today that two of the Gosselin sextuplets, Collin and Alexis, have been expelled from their private school and are being home taught for the time being, due to "greatly exaggerated reports of bullying and abuse" on their parts. While that can conjure up images of extreme violence in some fantastical minds, Mademoiselle Kiddie wishes not to jump to conclusions and supposes this expulsion could be due to something as simple as violating school rules repeatedly, for example. (especially in a private school that may be more strict). Either way, it has been said that the kids are 'acting out' as a result of difficulty coping with the divorce of their parents.

Mademoiselle Kiddie suspects Venus is behind this story.

When most astrologers, and even most people, think of Venus, they are drawn to the Greek myth of Aphrodite, who was known as the goddess of love and beauty. Astrologers think of Venus as the urge to create relationships based on harmony and similarity. So why would Venus be behind stirring up so much trouble?

Well, if you've ever read the old myths, you'll know that the gods and goddesses don't always behave and even like to stir up trouble with the humans! One such time of trouble can be when the planet that represents that god or goddess goes retrograde (appears to travel backward in the sky for a time), such trouble can often manifest. The planet Venus has been traveling backward through the sign of Scorpio (now briefly back into Libra).

Any time a planet is in retrograde, it is a time to REview and REpair issues that the planet represents. WithDuring the period that Venus is retrograde, we often see challenges in relationships of all kinds, whether it is old friends returning, or letting current relationships go, or dealing with what isn't working in a relationship in order to try and get it fixed. While Venus has been retrograding (since early October) people that have been feeling under-valued and under-appreciated by those around them have been more inclined to speak up about it and in Scorpio, that means in no-uncertain terms! They're not going to take it anymore. And that may be just the kind of issue surfacing with Collin and Alexis.


As Venus has been moving over Scorpio, it has been forming a square (a tense relationship) with their moon in Aquarius, which can push them to rebel (Aquarius) if they feel like their feelings (moon) are not being heard, understood, or valued (Venus). As it formed the square, it also forms a trine (a comfortable relationship) to Uranus and Mars, so Uranus and Mars behaviors are easier to express than the moon behaviors. Therefore, rebellion and disobedience (Uranus), as well as displays of aggression and assertion of one's own will and dominance (Mars in the 1st house) are most likely defense mechanisms for feeling like they don't have an outlet for their feelings. Addressing what's hurting, and especially what makes them feel like their freedoms and individuality are not being respected (which is one thing moon in Aquarius really wants), is a positive way to diffuse and re-direct the impulsive aggression.

Even though there is no report on the other four children being expelled, Mademoiselle Kiddie would not be surprised to find that similar behavior has been showing up in these children, even if it comes out in different situations, since they all share a chart and are all being triggered by Venus simultaneously.

Venus will begin moving forward again on November 19th, at which point she will, even though moving forward, trigger these sensitive spots again before leaving them for a significant length of time. Mademoiselle Kiddie guesses most of December may have these kids 'acting out' as they try to get their needs met.

On twins and more: While all six children have basically the same chart, not all kids respond identically to the same urges, as they all have free will to make their own choices as they interact with the environment, and some people think may even have different inclinations based on past lives where they were not part of sextuplets/identical charts!

Jenna Jameson on Pre and Post Mommy Life

Former porn star Jenna Jameson talked to W Magazine about how she's put her past behind her and concentrates now on simply being a good mom. Jenna had fraternal twin boys in March of 2009: Jesse and Journey and never looked back. “The moment I decided to have children I quit," she says, even having her breast implants removed and refusing cover photo shoot opportunities (at least ones that feature her in her former role as "Queen of Porn").

Jenna is now happily settled in into mommy life, walking her twins in a double stroller daily. “I really don’t think I need to say, ‘Mommy was a porn star. I feel like they’re going to know me and think, ‘Mommy loved us so much that she quit everything and made us her jobs.’”

And according to the astrology of the twins, it's likely they'll share that sentiment. The Pisces Sun they share, including Mars, Mercury, and Uranus also in Pisces, brings with it a compassion and natural ability to empathize with others, often thinking the best of others. With Uranus close to their Sun, they are likely to want to go against the grain of "society's accepted social norms" themselves so they aren't likely to be bothered that mom did the same thing.

With Saturn in Virgo opposite their Mercury in Pisces, what they know and feel of their experience of mom (Mercury in Pisces) may come up in confrontation with the 'reality' of the social judgments that others may impose about their mom (Saturn in Virgo) about what is so-called 'appropriate' but they are likely to defend their mother quite easily since their Mars (planet of the defender in all of us) is right on top of mom's Venus.

Jameson's own mother died when she was about the age of her boys, so Mademoiselle Kiddie is certain that she will have a strong desire to be there for her own children and is not surprised about the strength of her conviction to focus only on her children from their birth. Read more about Jenna in this month's W Magazine.

Celine Dion's Double Baby Boy Bliss

It's a mini baby boom this month in Hollywood! Matt Damon and his wife Luciana just welcomed Stella Zavala on October 20th; Lance Armstrong and his wife Anna welcomed Olivia Marie on October 17th; Alicia Keys gave birth to Egypt Daoud on October 14th (with husband Kaseem Dean), and of course Neil Patrick Harris and his husband David Burtka brought home twins via surrogate: Gideon Scott and Harper Grace.

But perhaps the most thrilling news is the birth of Celine Dion's twin boys on Saturday, given her difficulties in the recent past in conceiving and carrying a baby to term.

Entering the world just one minute apart, the twins were born just after the full moon, so it still shows up in their chart: their Sun, just barely into Scorpio is opposite the moon in Taurus. Full moon people are said to be built to bring things to fruition - to take the enthusiasm, naivete, and idealism of the first half of the waxing lunar cycle and thrust it forward into life, to get 'out there' and make a mark, make a difference. These kids are on a mission!

And it doesn't stop there, but is echoed in the fact that their Sun, Mercury, and Venus are all in Scorpio in the 11th house. Scorpio takes what it's passionate about and follows it through to almost obsessive ends. In the 11th house, the house of the 'public, groups, and community', their mission will no doubt be far-reaching. They will obviously be well-known because of their parents, but they are not likely to be reaching for fame as much as they are to want to make a valuable difference in the world (Scorpio doesn't really like to be in the spotlight too much!)

But 11th house planets often take a long while to manifest, needing to gather up momentum, self-knowledge, and lengthy life experience so as to reach a crescendo of sorts. In the meantime, the twins will probably be working on getting to know themselves as individuals--something that any person, and especially twins, must do, but for these twins, that work takes center stage. They entered the world with a Cancer south node in the 7th house, which speaks of a tendency to think in terms of 'us' rather than 'I', and Cancer can be prone to giving much more than it allows itself to receive. With Pluto and the north node in their 1st house of Self and in Capricorn, a sign known for self-sufficiency and independence, they will be moving ever toward the goal of understanding and owning identity.

Once they start to get their feet under them in this regard, their second half of life should gain even more momentum, having them branch out into the world to show it their stuff! Their enthusiastic Sagittarius rising knows no bounds, so it should be a good show!

Congratulations to the happy family!


At this writing, the twins' names have yet to be made public.

Marcia Cross' Yin/Yang Twins

Marcia Cross' fraternal twins are now three years old, old enough to see their personalities develop and display themselves. Marcia says they're surprisingly different, saying in a recent interview with People:

"...they remind me of a yin and a yang, with how opposite they are … and they fit together so well. They complement each other, but yet they’re so different."

Because the most apparent observation about twins is how alike they are, many people seem to go out of their way to observe just how different they are. You'd never make the assumption that two siblings who were not twins would behave identically, yet with twins there is an awareness of how similar they might be, and as a balance, many people look for clues on how different they actually are. In a recent post, we looked at twins Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen as an example of the differences among the physical similarities in this most famous set of twins. They had a strong Uranus signature, which is a planet of individuality. These twins want to be anything but solely a mirror image of each other.

So on to Eden's and Savannah's chart. If you accept the premise that souls 'choose' their families before birth, one could speculate that there are still many reasons why souls would choose to come in as twins. With so much Pisces in these girls' chart, one might speculate that the intent could be to blur the boundaries between the self and others, to open the souls up. Pisces is a sign that is about the spiritual side of life--not religious, but focuses on matters of the spirit: empathy, compassion, magic, and inspiration. Pisces is about learning the connectedness between people as part of the human family, not the separation, hence the qualities of empathy and compassion being so prevalent among Pisceans. These twins have half the planets in their chart in Pisces.

But not so fast! Like the Olsen twins, Eden and Savannah have a strong Uranus signature in their chart. Uranus is conjunct their north node, in Pisces.

Their south node is in the opposite sign, Virgo. The south node reveals what assumptions, beliefs, and habits the soul is leaving behind, or putting into balance, by moving toward the north node traits. With a Virgo south node, the twins will be working toward having more compassion, forgiveness, and love for others, but especially for themselves, since Virgo has a tendency to be self-critical and a perfectionist. Add Uranus in as a primary lesson (conjunct the north node), they are going to be learning how to worry less about doing everything right and being perfect in the eyes of the standards of other people or society in general (Virgo) and more about being a perfect version of themselves.

Mom Marcia is recognizing their individuality early on, like all twins' have, but her ability to embrace and encourage their individuality will be perfect for them, and Marcia's chart shows some specific connections to Eden and Savannah's chart. Marcia's Jupiter lands right on the twins' Sun in Pisces, so she encourages  (Jupiter) them to build their own identity (Sun). Marcia's Mars also lands right on their Uranus in Pisces, so she will almost push them (Mars) into breaking away from the expectations of others (Uranus) and reinforce the need to be themselves. Sounds pretty "perfect"!

Twins: Identical Astrology Charts but How Alike Are They?

Hollywood is full of twins, identical and fraternal, young and not as young. Twins, typically born just minutes apart, will have nearly identical birth charts, with the exact degree of the ascendant sometimes being ever so slightly different. If the birth chart describes one's personality or fate, how can twins actually be any different from each other with the same chart?

Gemini twins Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen are arguably one of the most well-known twins in Hollywood (let's take a moment and have a giggle that these twins are also symbolized by the sign of the twins, Gemini!) While their lives are greatly intertwined both professionally and personally, there are some obvious differences, even to the general public. Ashley seems to have a more classic style and her preferences seem to be on the sweeter side, while Mary-Kate likes things a little more on the edge (she prefers Halloween, to Ashley's Christmas preference), with her style being more bohemian. They even have a different dominant hand: Ashley is right-handed and Mary-Kate is left-handed. Ashley is older by 2 minutes.

They have plenty in common though. Looking at their chart, they have Leo Rising, which reveals their shared love of using their outer appearance and fashion to express themselves. With a Virgo Moon and Mars in Capricorn in the 6th house of work, they will both share a strong work ethic and a desire and ability to work tirelessly to achieve their goals. With their Sun in the 11th house, their public identity is and will continue to be a strong anchor for their sense of self, yet with Uranus in the opposite position from the Sun, they will always need to strive to pull back into themselves and re-authenticate when the pull of the public and its expectations threatens to overtake their sense of individuality. Because their own sense of identity (Sun) is kept in balance by their desire for individuality (Uranus), they will always be modifying their answer to the question Who Am I? An interesting tidbit: apparently they like to refer to themselves as 'an individual pair' rather than twins.

So how does the chart reveal the similarities but the differences alike? There are a few theories, such as the idea that twins 'split up' the chart's energies and express some traits stronger than their twin or that environmental factors make up the other half of the astrological picture, that external stimulus and life events dictate how each twin uses their chart to respond to life. Or is it the core of modern astrology and the belief in free will: that no one can predict what an individual soul's choices will be, only their lessons, struggles, and strengths?

You decide! But here's some reading to investigate these creative ideas.

• The Zodiac Master, Twins and Astrology
• Lynn Koiner, Astro-Twins and Biological Twins

Molly & Mathilda heat up the kitchen

Molly Ringwald recently shared with PeopleTV that her mother was a chef but while raising Molly, she was a stay-at-home mom who loved to involve her family in the process, something that Molly is doing with her 6 year old daughter, Mathilda and her husband. Her 'secret recipe' for a good start in life is not only cooking together, but eating together and having everyone share their day with each other over the meal. Sounds like a good recipe for any family!

Mathilda's Sun and Mercury are in Libra, a sign whose association with partnership often overshadows an equally important component of Libra: the artist. They don't call it the culinary 'arts' without reason! Cooking will probably be a great way to stimulate Mathilda's creative instinct and get her thinking (Mercury) creatively as well, a skill that can carry over into many areas of her life. 

With her Virgo moon, skill is also an operative word. The moon shows how we love to be nurtured, and also nurture others. In Virgo, Mathilda will enjoy nurturing others best by polishing her skills, any skills, in a way that makes them truly useful to others. She will also enjoy the time Molly takes to teach her a craft and help her not only learn a skill, but apply it directly in the food she helps prepare for the whole family.

Molly and her family welcomed twins Adele and Roman in 2009!

Octuplets Turn 1 Year Old Today

I don't think these octuplets, dubbed "octo-babies" need much introduction. Their mother, Nadya, gave birth to all eight children between 10:43 and 10:48 am a year ago today. Happy birthday to Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Nariyah, Makai, Josiah, Jeremiah & Jonah!

Even if you don't know much astrology, their birth chart is pretty striking, with many planets clustered near the top. The babies have half of their planets, including the powerful sun and moon, in Aquarius and the 10th house. It is not uncommon to find people with a full 10th house in the spotlight, which isn't surprising in this case since these babies have been there since day one of their lives. But what's in store for them? How will these babies develop?

As individuals, believe it or not. With such a strong Aquarian presence in this chart, each of them will find it imperative that they feel free to develop and explore in accordance to their true selves. While that's healthy and natural for everyone, it will be vital for these children. They will find it exceptionally important to find people in their lives that view them not as a collective group, but as individuals with names and dreams, fears and needs. Of course, one can see why it'd be even more crucial for them, since they're going to have to fight for elbow room in their own lives and even at the dinner table! And fight they will. With Aries rising, they've come to develop an approach to life that's less like a walk and more like a leap. It's every baby for themselves!

Looking at the 10th house and the issue of fame,'this will also obviously play a significant role in their lives, as they need to develop not only as individuals from each other, but also need to develop a sense of separation from the role that they are already playing in society, that of "The Octuplets." The 10th house represents how one contributes to the world. This can be through our career, but can be larger than that; it's the work we've come to do in this world and the legacy we want to leave through that work. Whatever these babies decide they want to be when they grow up, they can bring a lot to the table: ambition (Mars), a strong voice (Mercury), an optimistic outlook (Sun & Jupiter) and a desire to nurture and bring healing to those they've chosen to help (Moon). I wouldn't be surprised if we find many of them in humanitarian endeavors if they're given the chance to show what they can contribute.

With their Sun and Moon conjunct the North Node, they've got two challenges ahead of them: one, the need to develop a strong sense of identity (Sun) based on their development as individuals (Aquarius) and not as a famous baby lost in a crowd of famous babies (10th house), and two, the need to receive nurturing (Moon), something that one hopes they'll get even in the midst of the challenge of nurturing the individuality of 14 children all at once.

In the cases of twins, triplets, etc., it becomes even more obvious just how flexible, yet sound, astrology is. Astrology is a sort of blueprint of the soul, with external factors such as environment, parenting, current cultural and social trends, etc. playing a big role in how that blueprint is constructed throughout a person's life. While all these kids have the same chart, they will build different lives around this common blueprint; the garments will differ, but they'll be made from the same thread.
