YOU DON'T WANT TO BE BETHENNY

You want to be Kim Kardashian, you want to be Katie Perry, but you don't want to be Bethenny Frankel. It looks pretty fabulous now. But have you ever had the experience of thinking that someone had it all (Farrah Fawcett) and finding out they didn't? Be careful what you ask for. I hear people on her daytime talk show, BETHENNY, saying they want to be her. No, you don't.
Bethenny is a Scorpio Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, and Neptune -- really really Scorpio. Her Moon is in the sign of Capricorn. And her Mars is in the sign of Libra. 'nuf said.
Her recent cash infusion of $50 million dollars for her Skinny Margarita made the cover of FORBES magazine. It's unusual for someone who is not in a positive Jupiter to bring in this kind of cash. But she had a partner, and I can only surmise the he was responsible for the windfall. But it hasn't stopped her from taking all the credit and exploiting herself in every way possible including her reality show -- not that it's wrong, but really what does the future hold for people who expose their entire lives? Is there ever a backlash?
One possible answer is a lengthy period of negative aspects -- which for Bethenny starts in 2016 (age 46) and lasts until 2025 (age 55) with a short respite when her predictive Mars conjuncts Jupiter until mid-2028 (age 58) when her predictive Sun squares Mars (the worst of the predictive aspects -- it attacks anything that the ego depends on), predictive Sun square Uranus, Mars conjunct Mercury and Mars opposition Saturn. Whew! I've had more than my share of bad aspects, but never this many at once. But then, is Bethenny more spiritual than I was? Will she handle this better than I did? No one really knows, but the key is how much of her self worth is wrapped up in her fame and fortune. How much of this did she really earn? I was coming off a Jupiter period, and it felt like I hit a brick wall.
Sending good thoughts to Bethenny. Call me, Girl. Navigating this is going to be a bitch tough.

UPDATE1: Just saw this from HUFFPOST, "...it turns out that Bethenny’s 'all natural' Skinnygirl cocktail mix, reportedly sold for $120 million, was actually sold for $8.1 million.
When news of the former 'Real Housewives of New York' star’s Skinnygirl sale broke, Forbes magazine reported that she was one of the highest-earning women in entertainment, topping Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Angelina Jolie. But now the magazine has issued a tough statement about the lady who graced its cover.
'We’re taking this very seriously. We based our numbers at the time of reporting on solid sources. We’re aware of the new information [uncovered by HuffPost Celebrity] and we’re looking into it right now,' Dan Bigman, Forbes executive editor, tells me. 'We’re going to review all the information thoroughly and talk to Ms. Frankel before taking any steps. If there are any inaccuracies, we’ll correct them. If clarification is required, we’ll do so.'
Bethenny has removed from her website the Forbes cover that declared her 'the it girl of reality TV [who] sold her line of Skinnygirl drinks for $100 million.' And even though the tricky star never confirmed the amount, you would think that during her interview or three-hour photo shoot, she might have whispered, 'Hey, guys, you didn’t hear this from me, but I only got $8.1 mil, which I split with my partner.' Wishful thinking."
UPDATE2: There is a class action lawsuit against Skinny Girl Margaritas for not being 'all natural.'"
UPDATE3: It appears the real figure is closer to $16 million with the possibility of another $12.5 million if the product does well. However, nothing close to the $120 million FORBES reported.
