Cold and calculating Linus will have none of it. He will not have a multi-million (or billion, depending on the movie) deal fly out the window because of another of David’s short lived affairs. Even as he prepares his checkbook to buy off the affections yet again of one of David’s dubious love choices, he finds out that both the ill-suited lovers are hell bent on their illusions. In the guise of the helpful brother, he tries to deflect the attentions of Sabrina to himself, with the ultimate strategy of sending her safely off to Paris once his plan is accomplished. Who would think of love in such a cold and callous way? Who would even think that social standing is part of the equation of amour? Who would dare to believe that ills in matters of the heart could be cured with a big enough checkbook? Someone with Saturn in the Seventh House, that’s who.

Saturn is not well placed in the house of relationships. In the Ormond/Ford version, Sabrina calls Linus “the only living heart donor.”

Listen to Linus’ explanation of why he hadn’t married:

“If I got married, I’d have to take a Dictaphone, two secretaries and four corporation counselors along on the honeymoon.

I’d be unfaithful to my wife every night with vice presidents, boards of directors, slide-rule accountants…

This … [indicating his office] this is my home.
No wife would ever understand it.”

(from the 1954 version of Sabrina)

Is it business or is it the coldness of their hearts? No, actually it is more complex than that.

Relationships require give and take of equals. The truth be known, Saturn in the Seventh denizens secretly measure people as better than or worse than them. Until they evolve past that point, they set up impossible goals in matters of love. Their ideal love is nothing less than perfection itself, something so unattainable that no flesh-and-blood lover could ever fulfill their requirements.

In addition, they themselves do not feel worthy enough of the kind of love they seek, so ultimately they bury themselves in their work, trying to make themselves good enough. However, this doesn’t mean they won’t mix it up with the opposite sex. Underneath the cool demeanor of the Saturn in the Seventh individual is a real sense of kink, someone who gets off on making it with people who are totally unsuitable partners. However, the trap is that once they get involved, Saturn keeps them locked into the relationship. This leads to another reason why Saturn in the Seventh is such a difficult position.

The Saturn in the Seventh person is leery of partnerships because these folks take on a great deal of the labor of the relationship, physical, emotional or both. The Saturn in the Seventh person tends to a marriage like a business, and while every bill will be paid on time, don’t expect “extra” money or time to be available for the fun things. That money is zipped up in savings or investments for a rainy day, or retirement, whichever comes first – and the time is spent on all-important work projects.

The Saturn person will support the partner in many ways, giving the partner “the hand up” they need to come up to the Saturn’s person’s expectations. The Saturn in the Seventh native does have high standards, expecting their partner to be hard-working, sober, stable and faithful – whether or not their partner has shown these traits in the past. When the expected “reward” of the relationship is not forthcoming, the Saturn person can simmer in their resentments. These resentments are often used to “cash in” on the reason why they won’t marry their lover. In their view, it’s the other’s persons fault that they can’t climb the pedestal on which the Saturn in Seventh person wants to place them.

Marrying young is generally not a good idea for these folks, since they need a fair amount of seasoning to be a good marriage bet. They need to work out their uber sense of responsibility to keep a relationship going. They need to work on their poor sense of self-esteem that allows to them to make choices in partners that are not good for them, or that holds potential lovers to a standard no one could attain. Once they do, however, they are the poster children for happily ever after, utilizing the best of Saturn’s traits to be sterling catches for someone who wants a forever love.

True to Saturn in the Seventh form, at the end of Sabrina, Linus managed to send off the chauffeur’s daughter to Paris, then realized he wanted her after all. He ran off after her, leaving the merger in David’s hands. But if you ask me, Linus was probably back to work within a month, married to Sabrina, with her pregnant. Saturn in the Seventh gets down to business once his or her mind is made up. He or she couldn’t do otherwise.

Hey Josh Duhamel! Ever hear the adage about how silence is golden? Yeah, we didn’t think so. On the set of his new movie Life As We Know It, big mouth Duhamel’s bragged to anyone in earshot about bagging a stripper. Now his yapping has landed him in the hot seat with the wifey and put him in the running for Moonit’s “Pathetic Loser of the Year Award” (Seriously? If you really think seducing a woman of the pole is impressive, you need to stop taking assclown lessons from Tucker Max).

Josh clearly didn’t think his bragfest would circulate back to his wife Fergie, once again demonstrating his unfamiliarity with the immutable laws of time, space and relationships. Not only was he dumb enough to blab, but he left a trail of texts to this exotic dancer. (We imagine they’re something like, “Yr prfume gets me so hot! Smls like baby pwdr, sweat & shame-xoxo JD.”)

Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be an isolated incident; rumors are a-flyin’ that Josh is quite the philanderer when he’s on location, hitting on anything with a smile, a SAG card and a skirt. Case in point: although he was engaged while working on Transformers, women have started coming out of the woodwork and claiming that their on-set interactions with Duhamel were more than meets the eye.

Even though she’s got, like, six smoking guns, Fergie isn’t having it with the haters. She’s been brushing off any and all eyewitness accounts, claiming her marriage to Duhamel is, “awesome.” But why is Fergie so intent on defending her man? (We mean…other than the fact that he’s ridiculously, insanely hot.) According to Moonit, it looks like there’s a reason why these two have been together since 2004 – an eternity in celebrity years.

A setup involving the Sun, Mercury and a small, meaningful planet called Nessus suggest we need to be careful not to inflict our parents’ judgments onto ourselves. There’s also a reminder not to make small matters into big ones; that is, to focus on what is truly meaningful rather than what is trivial or gossipy.

It’s also a reminder that our words, once spoken, leave our lips and we can no longer control them. Therefore, be gentle in your speech, no matter now right you may feel. Understate your case. People will trust you more if you do. Mercury square Nessus also says, own your stuff; take responsibility for your pain; don’t put it on others. Once you do that, you may find that the people close to you are eminently willing to be supportive in ways you hadn’t imagined possible.

In the natal astrological chart, Venus and Mars are the “go to” planets of love and relationship. More than almost any other signature in the chart, these planets (and their aspects and house placements), give clues as to how you like to “do love” (Venus) and “do sex” (Mars). They represent the internal feminine and masculine, giving valuable information about how you like to love and be loved (Venus) and what makes you passionate, lusty and turned on (Mars). In a woman’s chart, Venus can give indications as to how she relates to her own femininity and sense of herself as a woman. Mars in a woman’s chart tells how she expresses her masculine energy, and also indicates what she may project onto the men in her life. Mars in a woman’s chart also can describe what she is attracted to in a man. In a man’s chart, Mars describes what makes him feel “manly,” and gives clues as to how he personally expresses his own inner masculine energy. Venus in a man’s chart indicates the feminine qualities a man may project onto a woman, what he’s looking for in the women he relates to, and also describes his relationship with his own inner feminine side.

Like a fine wine, this duo ages well together. The harmonious combination of water (Venus in Cancer) and earth (Mars in Taurus) creates a love connection that is both stable and enduring. Once this pair makes it through the initial dating phase, it usually forms a relationship that is secure and drama-free. Content with creating a comfortable home and family life, this couple has no need to stir up excitement in other arenas.

Venus in Cancer is emotionally sensitive and intuitive. She loves in a nurturing and compassionate way, deeply loyal almost to a fault. This Venus can be protective and a bit possessive in love, wanting to know that she doesn’t have to compete for the affection of her mate. Valuing family and home life, Venus in Cancer will devote much of her energy towards nesting and creating a home with her partner.

Mars in Taurus is passionate about physical comfort and stability. Taking slow and careful action, this Mars steadily moves in the direction of what he desires. As a lover of sensual pleasures, Mars in Taurus’ fires are stoked by beauty in all its forms. Though it may take time, this stubborn and persistent Mars is usually very successful at getting what he wants.

Mars in Taurus is attracted to the watery and mysterious depth of Venus in Cancer, drawn to her mermaid-like beauty and grace. Venus in Cancer is moved by Mars in Taurus’ peaceful, gentle nature and encouraged by his ability to manifest in the physical realm. When these two come together, they form a union that is strong and long-lasting. As a couple they are able to work through their rough spots with an ease and creativity that is inspiring to behold.

It looks like Katy Perry may have tamed the wild, gnarly beast that is Russell Brand. Ever since Katy got together with Russell at the VMAs, we’ve been waiting to see if this random hookup would trainwreck its way into infamy, or actually (shudder to think!) last. Love him or hate him, it seems Russell and our eccentric, darling Katy may be looking at ’til-death-do-us-part. For those of you thinking, “Who the hell is Russell Brand?”, he’s the guy who played obnoxious rocker Alduous Snow in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. (You know–the guy who looked like the love child of Tim Burton and an electrical outlet. That one.) And in another example of art imitating life, Russell’s reality is strikingly similar to his on-screen persona; he’s a recovering addict known for his promiscuity and loud-mouthed antics.

As of late, Katy and Russell have been caught around town making out like teenagers in the backseat of Mom’s Prius, and these in flagrante deLexus moments have prompted inquiries into their coupledom. Russell’s now opening up to reporters about his life-changing relationship with Katy and sound-biting about his willingness to settle down; so sayeth Russell, “I have gone weary of the [romantic] carousel.” He’s even discussed his desire to have kids. (So…there’s that.) Since the thought of a Brand baby makes us feel like H1N1 would be the easy way out, Moonit felt a relationship assessment was long overdue.
