Witi Ihimaera (New Zealand author)

* Witi Ihimaera was the first published Māori novelist. Ihimaera is of Māori descent (Te Aitanga-a-Mahaki) and Anglo-Saxon descent through his father. His stories generally portray Māori culture in modern New Zealand. His work often focuses on problems within contemporary Māori society.

In 1995, Ihimaera published Nights in the Gardens of Spain, a semi-autobiographical work about a married father of two daughters coming out. He had come out to himself as gay in 1984 and began the work, but out of sensitivity to his daughters, did not finish or publish it then. Nights In The Gardens Of Spain was filmed in 2010 with changes to the book, making the central character Māori rather than Pākehā (European) to more closely reflect Ihimaera's life. His story The Whale Rider was also made into a film.

His 2009 album, Ready for the Weekend debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart and its lead single, "I'm Not Alone", became his first number one on the UK Singles Chart.

Topping the UK charts, the album became his first to chart on the Billboard 200 in the US, reaching number 19.

His collaboration with Rihanna led to two singles, "Where Have You Been" and "We Found Love". The latter became an international success, giving Harris his first US number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100.

Harris holds the record for the most top 10 songs from one studio album on the UK Singles Chart with nine top 10 entries, surpassing Michael Jackson. In October 2014, he became the first artist to place three songs simultaneously on the top 10 of Billboard's Dance/Electronic Songs chart. He also became the first British solo artist to reach more than one billion streams on Spotify.

Harris dated British singer Rita Ora from May 2013 to June 2014. In March 2015, Harris started dating American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.

With the Banshees, Budgie didn't just play rhythms—he played hooks and leads, brilliant parts that set the songs on fire. His tom-tom-intensive approach, [was] enlightened by his awareness of world music."

Maria Gomes Valentim (Brazilian supercentenarian)

* Maria Gomes Valentim was the oldest verified living person in the world for a while before her death from multiple organ failure on 21 June 2011 at the age of 114 years 347 days. Valentim was the only validated supercentenarian from Brazil and one of the 30 verified oldest people in history. I always say that Cancer is the strongest sign in the zodiac; in Valentim's case tenaciously holding on to life and not giving in until the very end. Valentim had both luminaries and Venus in Cancer (all in the 4th house no less), with Venus ruling Mars, the ruler of her Aries ascendant.

Augustus II the Strong, Elector of Saxony

* Augustus II the Strong is famous for his great physical strength which earned him the nicknames "the Strong," "the Saxon Hercules" and "Iron-Hand." He lived up to his name by breaking horseshoes with his bare hands. That's certainly an interesting expression of Mars opposite Pluto. Augustus was also a voracious womanizer, bedding a string of mistresses over several decades and fathering as many as 382 children. His philandering Jupiter-Moon conjunction in Cancer is propelled by an opposition from Mars in Capricorn which also rules Venus in Aries on his North Node.

Michael Zühlke‏ (German pornstar)

* What does a guy need to become a pornstar? Michael Zühlke‏ (alias Pornfighter Long John) has a 23.5 cm (9.25 inch) genital appendage which no doubt helped, but certainly so did his Scorpio stellium including Mars in the 9th House. Sagittarius and the 9th are all about abundance and excess. Zühlke‏ has Pisces on his ascendant ruled by Neptune in Sagg in the 9th: he has performed in or produced 2300 erotic films. Venus on the MC in Sagittarius can translate into physical intimacy with a lot of young females. Zühlke claims to have had sex with 4888 women, many times in gang-bangs. For the sheer sake of pleasure, Jupiter in Taurus (in mutual reception with Venus on the MC) can make for one very happy and very lucky guy. And perhaps also, a very worn out one!

BIRTH DATA: Michael Zühlke, 10 November 1976, 14:30 (2:30 pm) CET (-1), Berlin, Germany (52n30, 13e22). ASC: 19 Pisces. RR: B (from autobiography). SOURCE: Sy Scholfield quotes "23,5 cm harte Arbeit: Mein Leben als erfolgreichster deutscher Pornodarsteller" by Michael Zühlke and Christoph Brandhurst (Riva Verlag, 2012): "Der 10. November 1976. ... Nicht länger als nötig wollten sie im Kreißsaal der Berliner Charité herumstehen und noch viel weniger am nächsten Tag, ... um 14.30 Uhr, kam ich zur Welt." Abridged translation: On November 10, 1976 in the delivery room of the Berlin Charité (hospital), I came into the world at 14.30 o'clock.

Jessica Simpson (American singer, actress, TV personality)

* We have a birth time giving an ascendant sign of Scorpio for Jessica Simpson. The Scorpionic Irresistible (2001) was her first certified Gold album, taking its name from the lead song which was so strongly criticized for the sexuality of its lyrics. The curvy Simpson has both Sun and Moon in bosomy Cancer (with the Moon as final dispositor). In 2005, she played Daisy Duke in the remake of the film The Dukes of Hazzard, and sang on the soundtrack, covering Nancy Sinatra's feisty 1966 hit, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin.'" Simpson also appeared as Daisy Duke in the song's sexed-up video: flirting and singing in a bar and then later washing the General Lee car, wearing a skin-tight, revealing pink bikini. In the last couple of years she has changed tack by starting a family, having given birth to a daughter and a son.

Many thanks to both Kevin Cee who spotted the online news of Simpson's rising sign and to Karen Marie Shelton for confirming that the data came from Simpson's mother.

NATAL DATA and ASTROLOGY CHART

BIRTH DATA: Jessica Ann Simpson, 10 July 1980, 14:45-15:05 (2:45-5:05 p.m.), Abilene, Texas, USA (32n26, 99w43). ASC: 15 Scorpio. RR: A (from mother's memory). SOURCE: Sy Scholfield quotes rising sign of Scorpio in a 2006 online article by Karen Marie Shelton (found on the internet by Kevin Cee): "According to her mom's (Tina Simpson) recollection of her birth time, Jessica was born under the ascending sign of Scorpio." (http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/articles.php?f=tip88803.htm). UPDATE: On 3 December 2014 Scholfield received a reply from Shelton: "When I specifically asked her what time Jessica was born Tina said '4:00 in the afternoon'. She then reminded me that although many people report Jessica was born in Dallas, Texas, she was actually born in Abilene, Texas. Tina didn't hesitate when I asked. She immediately replied with 4:00 pm. I know that sometimes mothers forget the exact time, but Tina seemed very clear & precise about the time."

Goldie Hill, 1933–2005 (American country music singer)

* Goldie Hill was one of the first women in country music, and became one of the first women to reach the top of the country music charts with her No. 1 1953 hit, "I Let the Stars Get In My Eyes". Along with Kitty Wells, she helped set the standard for later women in country music. Hill might have had a longer career in country music had she been inclined to pursue it. She had a strong and twangy voice that can be heard in other country singers of the 1960s such as Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. With the success of Kitty Wells and her 1952 hit "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels", Hill was able to pursue her own career after the profit potential of female singers was realized by record companies.

Jewel Akens, 1933–2013 (American singer and record producer)

* Jewel Akens recorded the single, "The Birds And The Bees," in 1965, and the song went to Number 3 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart that year, and Number 2 on the Cash Box chart. It reached Number 29 in the UK Singles Chart, selling over one million copies worldwide, and was awarded a gold disc.

The lyric is based on the "birds and the bees" idiom commonly referenced with regard to affording young people their introductory sex education. Akens had an Aries Ascendant ruled by a very sexual Mars in Scorpio on his 8th house cusp, softened by a euphemistic sextile from Neptune.
