Martha Stewart Update:
July 21-July 30, 2004

SHELLEY L. ACKERMAN

Today Cancerian Songstress Linda Ronstadt was booed off the stage and fired for touting Michael Moore in Las Vegas, while Leo Martha Stewart's fate hangs in the balance:

In July 2002, I was quoted in Liz Smith's column saying that "Martha should humbly and graciously accept any part in her wrongdoing."

Well, she didn't.

And at New Years 2004 in the same column, I said she'd prevail and she ultimately will, BUT Stars Say Leo Diva Should Do the Time NOW:

The stint in jail (though undeserved) will endear her, even to her detractors.

You gotta love her, defending her creative empire, her employees, and her stockholders on the steps of the courthouse, as she reminds us to visit her website.

Martha is a Leo with Scorpio rising and The Moon in Sagittarius (in 'Moola', the same lunar mansion, as Judy Garland and Margot Fonteyn, indicating that emotional suffering is a part of her otherwise successful 'star-package', a suffering that can only be alleviated by service to humanity). She will be back, you can bet on it: the question is - exactly when?

Her chart is super strong around Christmas '04 and in January '05 (transiting Jupiter in Libra  stationing on her progressed midheaven). So if Martha must serve time, she should do it sooner rather than later and avoid prolonging this unpleasant sequence into a rougher star-crossed patch in 2005-06: That's when Pluto is on her Moon, a transit which makes for super emotional vulnerability laced with relentless intensity. And things could get tougher for Martha next Summer: that's when Mars the planet of war and aggression, and planetary culprit the week of her conviction last March, enters Taurus- spending several months in Martha's 7th house of open enemies.

I wouldn't want to see her in prison while that's happening, she'd be a target of all kinds of antagonism in and out of the big house.

But Martha fans should take heart! Ultimately, Martha will not only prevail, BUT WILL BE BACK MORE BELOVED, APPRECIATED and successful than ever!

Though charismatic and flashy, Leos are always done in by arrogance.

A word to the wise: A little humility goes a long way.

One last thing:
If you have not seen "Outfoxed" please make it your business to.
It is disturbing but required viewing, I believe, for every American.
