Reel-to-Real Love

Couples that met on set
Source: California Psychics

Bogie and Bacall, Hepburn and Tracy, Pitt and Jolie - why do some film flames ignite into real-life love affairs? If the "reel" love is based on genuine affinity, it may turn into real love - to the fascination of fans. Who can resist such a fantasy come true?

So how can you tell if an onscreen romance has the potential for true love? Comparing a couple's astrology charts reveals their compatibility. A Sun-sign comparison is only the beginning. Comparing a couple's Moon signs (emotional compatibility), Venus signs (love styles) and Mars signs (sexual compatibility) offers a more comprehensive picture of their relationship potential.

To discover some secrets of reel-to-real love, we'll analyze the charts of three famous film couples. Most recently, Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, who met on the set of Slumdog Millionaire (2008), then the unlikely match of Annette Bening and Warren Beatty, who married shortly after starring together in Bugsy (1991), and stalwart couple Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, who met in the early '80s on the set of Hanks' TV series Bosom Buddies.

Dev Patel (April 23, 1990), Freida Pinto (October 18, 1984)
The award-winning film about a poor Indian lad, played by Patel, who won a million dollars on a game show against all odds, became a worldwide hit. What made the film even more endearing was the relationship between the boy and his troubled lady love, played by Pinto. Their chemistry was magical.

Patel is a Taurus and Pinto is a Libra. She leads with her intellect, while he has a more earthy approach to life. Looking deeper, we see a case of opposites attract. His Moon in Aries is opposite her Sun in Libra, a compatible tie. (She has Moon in either emotional Cancer or passionate Leo, depending on her time of birth - probably Leo due to her charisma and profession choice.) What's more, Patel's Taurus nature is enticed by Pinto's multiple Scorpio placements: Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Pluto. She's super intense and magnetic, while he's easygoing and grounded. Well, as grounded as having Venus and Mars in fantasy-prone Pisces can be. His practical Taurus nature has a spiritual, imaginative side. He craves a spiritual union with a deep emotional connection, which he gets from Pinto's Scorpio influences. Also, the water (Pisces-Scorpio) emphasis between them deepens their bond, but makes it hard to be objective. Mutual stubbornness and the need for control are challenges as well.

As for sex - no problem there! Taurus and Scorpio is a compelling combination. Plus, Pinto's Mars in Capricorn appreciates a strong, earthy man, like a Taurus, while Patel's Mars in Pisces makes him sensitive and adaptable to his lover's needs, a must for a Libra-Scorpio woman. It's a soulful relationship that may well survive both their youth and the glare of Hollywood lights.

Annette Bening (May 29, 1958), Warren Beatty (March 30, 1937)
In Bugsy, Beatty plays mobster Bugsy Siegel, who falls madly in love with a starlet, played by Bening. Their onscreen chemistry was playful and funny, which isn't a surprise considering their Sun signs - he's a fiery Aries and she's a flirtatious Gemini. Obviously their chemistry deepened into love because they married a year after the film was released. Even better, they're still married after 17 years, an anomaly in Hollywood.

So what was Bening's secret to capturing this charismatic hunk, well-known for his playboy antics? Besides having more than her fair share of charm, compliments of Sun in Gemini, she has Venus in Aries, which is a strong love tie with Beatty. They have plenty of fire between them. They also have some opposite energy, similar to Patel and Pinto. Bening's Moon in Libra is opposite Beatty's Sun in Aries. Since Libra is the sign of partnership, she brings out the urge to merge - on all levels - in her Aries man. Additionally, his Mars in adventurous Sagittarius is opposite her Sun in Gemini, heightening the passion (and irritations) between them. As for their emotional bond, Beatty has Moon in secretive Scorpio, not the easiest placement for emotional openness. Fortunately, Bening's Mars in sensitive Pisces is in tune with his Moon in Scorpio, a Water-sign tie. In romance, his Venus in Taurus craves stability in love. He seems to have found it in his smart and talented Gemini partner.

Tom Hanks (July 9, 1956), Rita Wilson (October 26, 1956)
This Cancer-Scorpio couple met on the set of Bosom Buddies, but began their relationship in earnest while filming Volunteers (1985). They married in 1988. Their Suns being in Water signs is a deep emotional tie. Also, Wilson has Moon in either Cancer or Leo, which means she either shares Hank's Moon in Leo or his Sun in Cancer. Either way, it's a remarkable indication of emotional affinity. What's more, they both have Mars in Pisces, which heightens their intuitive-sexual bond. The challenge is a tendency to overlook problems instead of facing them head-on. Still, it creates an imaginative working relationship between two actors.

As for their love styles, they're both highly analytical, but his Venus in Gemini can clash with her Venus in Virgo. She's the practical one in the relationship and may get impatient with his intellectual approach to working things out. Fortunately, the Water placements in their charts keep them focused on their feelings, which makes them inseparable. Having been married for over 20 years, they're obviously doing something right!

It's intriguing when you can sense a deeper connection between two actors than just the usual onscreen chemistry. With the couples mentioned above, real love was apparently written in the stars.

A Glimpse Into the Future

Good predictions come true
Source: California Psychics

There are times when a glimpse into the future is one of the most rewarding gifts we can give ourselves. A good reading can open our eyes to choices we may not have thought of when we believe we have run out of options.

It can also offer confidence that we are doing the right thing so that we can go ahead and pursue our plans with gusto. For many, it can be the first step in becoming more proactive about the future.

Marissa, (not her real name) was at a place in her life, where she just didn't trust herself to make good decisions. On her first call to Barbie ext. 9295, she explained that she had always been practical and independent, but she was suddenly faced with several important and emotionally difficult choices. She had met a man on the job and had found herself involved in a long distance affair. The project she was working on professionally was rife with problems and the blame had been pinned on her. She had inherited the down payment for a house, but she was worried about making the investment with her job status seemingly up in the air.

"Help!" the caller asked, responding easily to Barbie's big dose of southern comfort. "It's hard for me not to keep a smile on my face, as we speak," Marissa, who said she was calling from Tennessee admitted. "I first need to know, is there love for me in Wisconsin?"

Barbie focused on the question Clairvoyantly and on the Tarot deck she's been using since 1995. "I see this man as genuinely interested in you. His marriage is over. His feelings for you are genuine. He will make time to be alone with you, when you are there on business," the psychic said in answer to Marissa's second question.

The caller explained that she had been flying in to Madison for several months now, to work on a consulting project and met Edward (not his real name). Though he had been divorced for some time, they were both still living in the same house for financial reasons. "He never calls me on weekends, he's being considerate, because he's living in their den until the house sells."

"Give it a month or two and he'll call you on the weekends," Barbie replied. "I see him moving in with you in the future."

"How? He's a senior vice president, jobs like his are not easy to find. He's never said anything about moving. If anything, I'd have to move, but life is wonderful here. It's just a shame that I fell in love in Wisconsin."

"I see it strongly. He'll be with you," Barbie repeated matter-of-factly, before their first call ended.

"Barbie, I'm becoming too emotional about everything… I need your help. The project I've been flying in to Madison for is falling apart. My colleague is blaming me... Besides possibly not being able to see Edward, my reputation could be at stake."

As Barbie looked into the situation, she again saw Marissa in Tennessee with Edward. She also saw her speaking to her boss in confidence. "Your reputation will be fine, but your job might end, anyway."

"I really want to buy a house, prices are down and I do have the money... but all of this unpredictability at work is scaring me."

"I see you finding a single story house. The house will have an unusual color of paint on the outside," said Barbie who got a clear picture of happiness with Marissa's decision to buy that particular home. If anything happens with your job, you'd actually be better off than you would paying the high rent on your apartment. You'll find a good job, maybe even something better."

"Seriously?"

"I'm confident," the psychic confirmed sweetly.

"Well, you were right, Edward did make time for me…." she said evaluating the information. "Okay then, I'm keeping my appointment with the real estate agent. Thanks."

Months later, Marissa called Barbie, in tears. "I bought the house, but I was laid off. And now Edward's company is in the process of closing its doors… I finally have this adorable place - it's just as you described … it had bright purple trim and shutters."

"I still see that you'll have a better job within months."

"And eventually, Edward will move in with me..." Marissa playfully finished Barbie's prediction. "Oh, now I get it," she paused. "I've never understood how Edward would move to Tennessee. Maybe when his offices close…" Marissa wondered out loud. "Barbie, I don't know how you know what you know, but it sure helps," she said before hanging up.

That was the last Barbie heard about Marissa and Edward for over a year, as the Clairvoyant took a leave from

California Psychics.

One evening, after Barbie had returned to work, she heard Marissa's familiar voice welcoming her back. "Oh Barbie... I got a great job!"

"And your boss is completely bald and highly respectful of your work."

"Wow, you nailed that! And, the love of my life has decided to move here," she added happily. When he came to visit he fell in love with Tennessee. He's interviewing for jobs right now… Now, I've only got four minutes left on this call and I want to spend it thanking you. Everything, you said would happen, happened. I'm very, very grateful."
