News the Stars Bring Today

Duffy, at age 24, has a very unusually high profile in the entertainment world: she just won three awards on the Brit Awards a few days ago (2/18/09); additionally, she won a Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album, Rockferry 2008.
She also has a rather unusual background. She was basically from a working class Welsh family and her parents divorced when she was young (10). Her father remarried and, apparently, her step mother put a “hit” on her father, when Duffy was 13. The Police got wind of this and had to put Duffy in a safe-house for her own protection. This is when she developed some street-smarts and perhaps a little of her songwriting ability, although she had been writing lyrics since she was six.

You will see that numerologically, she has a “Master number” 33/6 which indicates someone who is willing to sacrifice for others.This is revealed in her autobiographical song “Stepping Stone.”

I didn’t have her birth time, so I rectified it to 9:30 PM, which makes the
Ascendant Sagitarrius (vedic); the Moon was transiting that day from Pisces to Aries, and I felt that her strong stamina and leadership were more indicative of Aries. Therefore,her Moon is in the Nakshatra of Aswini. She has strong Saturn conjunct Mars aspecting Jupiter in the Ascendant and this very often leads to psychic awareness.

Additionally, she has a twin sister, and therefore, Mercury is in her 7th house, aspecting the Ascendant along with conjunct Venus and the Sun. (Mercury should either be in the Ascendant or the 7th house for a twin.) There is an amazing inter-connectedness between the planets, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Mercury, Venus and Mercury. This, of course, gives her a multi-dimensional personality and international fame, due to Saturn aspecting the Ascendant.

Duffy is classified as a mezzo-soprano, Pop and Soul vocalist and songwriter. Here she is singing “Cry to Me” (Bert Russell a/k/a Bert Berns) “Dirty Dancing”
