Star Struck Style

February 25 is Veronica Webb’s birthday.

Veronica Webb actually has a couple of birth dates floating around the web. I believe that today is the correct date, but Astrotheme has her chart up on the site with a February 23 birthday.

Here is why I believe that is wrong. The February 23, 1965 chart gives the legendary model a Sagittarius moon. Adjusting the chart to February 25, 1965 gives her a Capricorn moon unless she was born very early in the morning. Even if that’s the case, the latter birth date also puts her sun and Mercury practically on top of Saturn in Pisces. It creates a powerful stellium.

With all that Capricorn/Saturnian energy in her chart, it makes her more like me (we are from the same generation and we share most of our outer planet placements). The reason I believe she is like me is found on the front page of her Instagram account where she adopts the tagline “Effortless is bullshit.”

I’ve railed against that word in the past. Every time I hear some idiot fashion commentator on TV mentioning “effortless style,” I want to punch them in the face. It’s my trigger.

Why do I feel that way? Because I’ve spent a lifetime trying hard to look as good as I do. I’ve been a fitness trainer since 1986. I’ve been a vegetarian since 1985. I don’t tan myself to a crisp. I don’t do drugs. I don’t drink until I black out. I get a good night’s sleep whenever I can. I drink plenty of water. I pay attention to fashion and try very hard to cultivate a wardrobe that conveys the image that I want others to see. I’m constantly educating myself in order to ensure that my mind is as healthy as my body. I put in the effort and it shows.

Being old isn’t easy when you start to see yourself falling apart. I’m not going to let that happen, though, because like Veronica Webb, there is something in me that makes me feel as if my life only gets better as I grow older. That is Capricorn energy in a nutshell: always working to ascend the mountain, despite any setbacks that may occur along the way.

Anyway, I feel as I have a kindred spirit in the model now that I’ve looked up her chart. I sure hope I’m looking at the right chart! I suppose that I could connect with her on social media to confirm her date of birth, but that would take some effort, right?

I’m kidding, of course. Maybe I’ll have an update soon . . .
