Why do some star matches fade while others continue to burn bright? It's all in the astrology, baby! Here's a look at what could be next for two celeb couples.
Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn
Fresh on the rebound from her divorce, Jennifer Aniston is giving love a go again with Mr. Wedding Crasher (the tall one). You might not think fast-talking Vince Vaughn and Jennifer are that much alike, but really, they're astrological peas in a pod. That's both good news and bad news. Similarities can bring a couple together, but with no friction to keep the sparks flying, the relationship could cool and eventually fizzle out.
Jennifer's an Aquarius and Vince is an Aries, two signs that usually get along. They're both independent and innovative, which can be exciting at first. However, the Aries tendency to flame out quickly, combined with the Aquarian's need for emotional distance, makes it difficult to keep the passion alive. Jennifer and Vince were both born with the Moon -- planet of home and family -- in Sagittarius, which can make them feel like they've known each other forever. This could explain why they were so quick to shack up, but it might become a problem because home isn't necessarily where Sag Moons want to stay. Seeking more exotic partners and places is usually more exciting for these two.
With so many things in common -- they also share a Libra Ascendant -- they're more likely to be like best buds than life partners. Jen and Vince may never be mister and missus, but at least if and when they call it quits it should be with a "no hard feelings" attitude.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban
Nicole Kidman is long overdue for a new man, especially with ole Tomcat splashed on the cover of every tabloid. And her hook-up with Kiwi country music star Keith Urban is the kind of Dior-meets-denim match that both the media and the public love. Seen recently together at the Grammys, their relationship appears to be more than a publicist's ploy -- their astrology charts say the same thing.
The key to their cosmic connection is buried deeply in the mystery of Scorpio, the sign of Keith's Sun and most likely Nicole's Moon. Two people sharing this bond understand each other's needs without having to spell them out. Don't expect public declarations of love or televised couch jumping from this pair. The country singer from Down Under has Venus in Virgo, too, a sign of consideration when it comes to relationships. Nicole, on the other hand, has Venus in extravagant Leo, and though far from acting the diva herself, she does seem to be attracted to superstars. With her Leonine need for glamour, Nicole could get tired of Keith's more down-home style. He might be a country hottie, but keeping Nicole's affection may require more flash. We can expect a certain ex-husband of hers to keep getting most of the tabloid attention ... unless Nicole finds someone who's a little less country and a little more rock and roll.
