Cherry Bomb: "It's All in the Stars"

This week, the ladies of Cherry Bomb welcome Dani Campbell as their special guest in the first of two episodes shot on the Sweet Cruise. Dani squashes some rumors, discusses Tila Tequila’s change of heart and joins in on the Star sign debate this week. Does Astrology really affect your relationships and should you choose your partner based on your star signs?

And in this week’s question, an audience member asks how the new wave of gay and lesbian films has affected a younger generation coming out.

What is it with dykes and astrology?  I know it's relatively popular across the board, but I've noticed this spacey, new age woo-woo stuff is especially popular with the lezzies.  I just...yeah.  I don't get it, ladies.

I..

See Astrology as a hobby but I wouldn't swear by it. I like actually to observe and analyze people and see how they tie in with their birth chart. Astrology is an art. And it's so much more complex than just the day you were born lol we each have a sun sign, moon sign, rising sign (which affects predominantly our personality) but then you have a different sign for different aspects of you represented by the posiition of the planets when you were born, some even include certain asteroids actually. Oh and the astrological houses and the MC line. Because of this some signs classically considered incompatible may actually work well together because of the other aspects in the birthchart. Still I do believe we have a certain amount of freelwill and I don't think anyone should turn down someone they like because of their birthchart, common lol! simply it could be an indicator on how to deal with things if they get tough.

I love that lavender blonde... The way she moves the way she walks, I touch myself can't get enough...

Interesting episode ladies,

Interesting episode ladies, as usual. Haven´t paid that much attention to astrology before, but I found it interesting and I would loved to hear more about it. There were a lot of signs not mentioned so I went of and researched a little more on my own. It appears as if I am a true pisces:)

Nice to see Dani again. She seems like such a nice and genuine person. Where could one find her clothing line? I have been looking for stuff like that.

Taurus here.

I only have a passing interest in astrology. I mostly only know some info about my sign. I fit the stubborn part to a T, but the rest about being creative and artsy...well I couldn't be more opposite of that.

Amaya's picture

lol

I don't know where you read Tauruses were supposed to be creative and artsy but it sounds as if they didn't know what they were talking about. Most Tauruses couldn't be further from that. Although they can appreciate art, Tauruses are very grounded, down to Earth people. Oh they're hedonists (at least to a degree haha) and normally know how to manage money. They like routine and get a headache if someone tries to redecorate their house or change things from their usual spot lol. Kay I'm exaggerating a bit but I think you get the idea. Oh and food. Tauruses love food, especially good food. And a weak spot for chocolate...

I could give you a more detailed overlook if you want ;)

I love that lavender blonde... The way she moves the way she walks, I touch myself can't get enough...

Now the way you describe

Now the way you describe Taurus sounds a lot like me. Heh. I go crazy when my roommate moves my stuff. If you are willing I would like to hear more about it.

i'm the creative side

One of my exes is a Taurus

One of my exes is a Taurus and shes very creative also. She is heavily into all forms of art and love to draw/paint. On the other hand she hates routine and is horrible with money. Its amazing that two Taurus's can be some damn opposite. 

My one and only wrecking ball. And you're crashing through my walls. -Brandi Carlile

Remy's picture

im getting better with money

 

 but routine is so crucial to my mood. I love it. It just makes my day go smoother. Not a set schedule but sort of this and that. If you catch my drift. I've never dated another taurus mostly virgos, a sagitarrius and libras. But I never delved into astrology too much

I know what you mean. I

I know what you mean. I don't have to do things at an exact time, but there are things I have to get done by a certain time everyday. When someone comes along and asks me to do something during a time I have set aside for something else...I get a bit agitated. I have found that while some people are fascinated by my ability to keep a schedule, some people are driven mad by it. Heh.

Mhmm..

What I got so far: Scorpios are intriguing.. Kindly noted.
On Nov 16th the new moon rises or something along those lines.. Also, kindly noted.

So, being born on November 16th myself, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now. ;)

The downside though: Now I really would like to take this to a next level with Nikki.^^

Shared Birthday

We share a birthday but I don't even know who Nikki is!  I see characteristics of a Scorpio in me - a lot actually but I also know that my age, generation, upbringing also shaped my personality.  But happy belated birthday to you - I always love to meet people (even if it is over the web) that share my birthday.

Typical Pisces

I'd say I'm much like a pisces in the creative sense but I also feel a strong connection to Aquarius possibly because my birthday is on the 21st and pisces only begins on the 20th.

I don't judge partners or friends on their starsign but I do believe it can tell you a lot. My best friend is a Scorpio and we genuinely click better than any two people I know and we are the only Pisces/Scorpio mix in our circle of friends. 

 

I don't believe the day-to-day stuff but my chart is definitely accurate. 

 

 

Amaya's picture

you might

Also have some influence in your chart with Aquarius (planetary positions). What you say is true haha one of my close friends is Pisces and an other friend of ours is Scorpio and they're inseperable (until she got a boyfriend who is also Pisces). Water signs get along well with each other... I'm an Aquarius and two of my best friends are Gemini and Libra (so all three of us are air) and my lover is a Libra. The last of my best friend is Aries, Fire (Air and Fire mix well). 

I love that lavender blonde... The way she moves the way she walks, I touch myself can't get enough...

Hey,

  Great subject and fun...I am not a total astro-junky but I have been keeping up with the stars since I was 15. Now 13 years later I haven't lost interest.Too much truth in it.

  I became pretty bummed at 18 when I found out I had a virgo sun with virgo rising..and a capi moon..How earthy and "boring" could I be? It used to really bother me when people would say, "oh no" after I told them I was a virgo. But I am like so not the boring sit around and knit type. I love adventure. So having Mars in Leo helped there.

The more I learned about it.. the less it bothered me..in fact I have libra in like 5 other places in my chart. And a couple leo. sagi and scorpio.(all my planets on one side of the chart- not beuno in vedic charts).

It gets kind of confusing (and interesting) when you try to understand urself and ur interactions with people on the chinese (rooster here), western(virgo) and vedic (leo) levels..but its fo' sure fun.

  My weakness is for sagittarius...out going.. fun .. goofy people..

      That's my two cents...

ps my mom is scorpio. So that pretty much immunized me to scorpio's...Thank The Universe for that!

Scorpio

here. Loved the episode by the way. I'm like my sun sign bad traits and all, I had my whole chart done and it's very spot on which at first was creepy. Katrina from Miami Social I believe on bravo did a blog on a certain kind of astrology that helps you find your purpose and said it helped her in her life and career.

I have noticed that I get along well with pisces as long as it stays platonic, if it crosses over from my experience it will not turn out well. For some reason I find myself surrounded by leos which is interesting b/c we don't really click. I do get along well with capricorns though, my bf is one. I have found that my relationships with a taurus are always the same. With cancers we always click and stay that way for some years then drift apart. I know that there is some truth in astrology. 

Tila Tequila as a scorpio hmmm, I wonder what her chart looks like.

Aquarians are cool cause we've got psychic powers.


top that!  
I must say I was quite distracted by Dani's hair.  Dude.  Blonde?  Platinum Bleach Blonde?!  Not ok.  You stop.  You're too cute for that! 

Daliah looked so nice.  Always generous with the cleavage.  We thank you for that. :)

As far as the current topic goes, I'd have to say the general Aquarian personality traits fit me.  I love everything in the arts. Fiercely independent.  I fight for the underdog.  Hate full of air promises.  And.  I can be stubborn as hell.  kinda detached.  :|  But it's ok.  Because once again ... I have awesome psychic powers & an entire AGE named after my sign!  Take that Scorpios!

Finally!!!! I've been waiting for this episode!!!AND with Dani?! *THUD*

Does anyone know of a reliable website where I can get my chart done. I had no idea that it was more than just your sun sign.

 

D-slilgrrl's picture

You can get one

 done at Astrologydating.com. Once you kinda go thru the whole signing up bit, they ask you to have your chart created to match you up properly. When I signed up it was free and I think it still, is for the most part.

Remember: Karma can be a real you know what* if you don't treat her with respect!

vedic astrology

i agree astrodienst is very good. i used to be really into astrology but then it all came falling down when i was introduced to vedic astrology. i am not one to base my life on any astrology nowadays but vedic astrology is said to be the most accurate form of astrology. check it out!:) http://www.indastro.com/

ps: western astrology sun sign sagittarius

Great Epi!

Thanks Ladies, you never disappoint! 

Like Dorian_Anna, I have been into astrology to some degree since my teen years. I am more into now than ever. I have been looking for a serious, legitimate group online to join to explore it a lot further. Any suggestions?

BTW, We Scorpio's get such a bad wrap.

I have been actively

I have been actively watching cherrybomb for a while now and it is very spot on with what i am going through. there are many interesting conversations on a variety of topics you ladies touch upon. you have a fabulous team of people who share different angles and opinions and so it is good to hear what each of you have to say. 

i myself had signed up for a season 3 at shot at love with tila tequila. but i always thought dani was the most compatible of all contestants. i absolutely adore and respect tila, and understand what she needs and i always thought dani was the most suitable (her personality , her sincerity is very much like mine.. but i didn't know she was a virgo also! yay!!) and when tila tweeted about that recently, i knew it. the media loves to distort things and spread false rumours about celebrities and you really shouldn't get too sucked into the whole thing.. tila is a beautiful woman inside and out, and i do love her within the very fabric of my being. she is just severely misunderstood and a passionate person who people either admire or hate. i think she is the epitome of the scorpio. (look what happened to RIHANNA!) you really don't want to mess with scorpios for sure. tila deserves only the best... and i'm here to love and support her.

 don't worry ladies, i will take care of my baby tila.. you'll see more of me afterellen. :)

Being a leo...

I don't know much about astrology or what signs fall on what dates but I admit I do look up some astrology stuff with my friends for fun. I'm a leo and I wouldn't say I wear my heart on my sleeve because I'm a pretty quiet and reserved person but I am very honest and it is very hard for me to lie about anything. It might also be considered a leo thing that I'm stubborn and hate being told what to do yet I love doing things for people and always try to be the hero. My best friend is a libra and I guess it's my favorite sign because from what I got from the internet they can get along with basically anyone specially with leos, which is perfect.

Ladies, I love Cherry Bomb

Ladies, I love Cherry Bomb more and more each week. I look forward to it, so thank you. The topics are always interesting, this one included. Dani is absolutely adorable, such an obviously kind and genuine person. I totally understand why she's remembered while so many other "reality stars" are already forgotten. Tila has been ridiculed by all and sundry, rightly or wrongly, but she did not take that same road. Good on you Dani.  

 If you couldn't tell, I'm a Scorpio (hmm wonder what gave it away? ;-)) and I am SUCH a Scorpio. Cautious? Check. Passionate? Check. Honest to a fault? Check. Very intuitive? Check. Strong-willed? Check. There are so many times I've said things or thought things or done things, and then I'll go read a profile of Scorpio and my jaw just drops because without realizing it, I was acting in a Scorpionic way.

 However, I also know that your sun sign is how you perceive yourself, and your rising sign is how other perceive you. So while I see myself as a Scorpio, the rest of the world sees me as my rising sign, which is Sagittarius aka the charming, innocent, youthful, naive, foot-in-mouth, lucky one of the charts. And I've gotten plenty of feedback over my lifetime to know that's exactly how people perceive me. Hahah if only they knew what lurked just below that surface!!

 I highly recommend astrodienst.com for checking out your chart. It takes into account ALL aspects of you and your chart and is the most accurate one I've found. It also allows you to choose if you want your chart to be for yourself with a man or a woman (sorry, can't choose both at this time) for your romantic aspects. Anyway, I've actually quoted portions of my profile on there to people to explain how I am and what I'm like, and after the read that, they get it. Strange, but true.

"Pluto is in 16 Degrees Scorpio.
For your entire generation, this is a period of intense research and discovery in areas that were heretofore considered mysterious, remote or taboo. The root causes for many complex occurrences will be unearthed due to the intensity and thoroughness of the search."

I went to a website and had my chart generated. whether the site was legitimate or not, this is kind of spot on.

Nice discussion.

This Leo thought it was mostly BS until I heard Karman describe it as an "exact science" on COTP. So I researched... very interesting...

I have had many long  (..and short) relationships with Saggitarius'..so at this point if I hear it, I am warey..

I get on well with Aquarius'..

My now gf is Scorpio.. :)

Birth charts are fascinating, this was really enjoyable. But like Dani said, keep it in moderation. :)

I heart Cherry Bomb!

I love how Nikki lit up over this topic.

I don't normally follow my horoscope (much less have had my chart done), nor could I name all of the signs in order.  Yet, so many of my friends tend to fall into the sagittarius or aries signs.  Pisces often make appearances into my life, and I often wish it were otherwise.  All that day-dreaming drives me crazy.  I'm a leo.

I really liked this episode, it was funny, as usual. I'm not big into astrology, I'll admit, I'm even skeptical about it but I find it intriguing.

I don't give that much

I don't give that much meaning to astrology, find it mostly amusing, but there are some interesting 'coincedences' regarding my relations with other-for example, I've only been with Aquariuses and scorpios, and my whole family, except me, are air signs.

I'm aries, but apparently, with lot of libra in my chart.

Edit...and in vedic astro. I'm  cancer..:)

the inflexible bender's picture

same here

I personally could not care less about astrology, I generally just take the mick of it (It's predicted so many things wrong!) My personality is completely different to what the stars predict it to be. I think most if not all of it is cow crap :/

 

sorry if I offended anyone D:

Cristina in NYC's picture

dont care either way

i admit, i check my horoscope once in awhile, but the reason im really writing is to say that Nikki looks especially good in this episode.

btw, im an aries.
