Can you spot a tyrant from his natal chart?

It got me thinking what with the chaos happening in Egypt which is gripping everyone right now. I went on to cafeastrology and put in Hosni Mubarak’s (president of Egypt) date of birth, I discovered that the man (a Taurus) has a square Mars - Saturn.
 It goes on to say that
He is only interested in doing something if there are problems attached: once these are solved, he goes on to something else which has complications. He likes to overcome obstacles, is tough, does not have too many feelings, especially in business. He is egoistic, violent and stubborn. He does not always make friends.
 
Says it all doesn’t it? I’m not saying that everyone who has a square Mars – Saturn is going to end up being a dictator, but it’s funny how astrology can reveal so much about a person.
 
To all the Egyptians out there: Freedom of speech and democracy are things that we unfortunately take for granted. Keep up the great work!

Men with Venus in Aquarius

Ouch. A man whose Venus is in Aquarius is very difficult to understand- if you are the type of girl who wants a man to lavish you with attention and treat you like a queen- then you had better run for your life NOW!
I have seen this so many times with friends as well as famous men, and how they deal with their respective partners.  Last week for example, a good friend of mine introduced me to Stephanie (I have changed the name so as to respect the identity of the female in this story), a lovely twenty-something Gemini with her Venus in Leo. She had been dating this guy, two years younger than her – whose Venus is in Aquarius. Can you see where this heading already?
She of course is MAD about him but is confused as to why he is not responding to her the way she would like him to! I sat down with her, told her all about men with Venus in Aquarius, how she had to give him space; to try and play it ‘cool’ with him and not be quite so affectionate, but this of course frustrated her all the more. So, what to do? It breaks my heart to see women like that; crazy about a guy, who can’t seem to see how great the girl is. When I read the book, ‘Why men love bitches’, and the follow up, ‘Why men marry bitches’,  it got me thinking (well, as well as howling with laughter and kicking myself for all of MY past mistakes with men) – are all men born with a hint of Venus in Aquarius? Do they all like to chase as opposed to being chased?
