Divorce for Taurus Billy Joel & Virgo Katie Lee Joel
Taurus singer Billy Joel, 60, has filed for divorce from his third wife Katie Lee Joel, a 27-year-old Virgo. Despite their eyebrow-raising 33-year age difference, the two are compatible Earth signs. What went wrong?
Rumblings of unrest were in the stars earlier this month. On June 7th, a full moon in Billy’s eighth house of marriage and joint property may have pushed him off the fence and into divorce-land. The eighth house rules secrets and scandals, and Katie is rumored to be creeping around with Israeli fashion designer Yigal Azrouel. Scand’lous! That same full moon fell in Katie’s fourth house of home and family. It’s possible they may have disagreed over her desire to have children, or the domestic rift created by her “New York state of mind” (she preferred their West Village townhouse to his suburban Long Island spread).
We’ve been hearing of many Virgos going solo since Saturn, the planet of maturity and tough lessons, went direct in Virgo on May 16th. Since September 2007, Virgos have been on a quest to define themselves and find their place in the world. While Katie married Billy as a naive 23-year-old, Saturn helped her build an identity as a cookbook author and celebrity chef (a common career path for many Virgos, like Rachael Ray and Mario Batali). No doubt Billy’s connections played a wee part in her success, too.
Will it still be rock ‘n roll for Katie Lee? Saturn remains in Virgo until November, so she’ll need to battle hard to keep her reputation when she drops the Joel surname. She could be in for a rude awakening if she thinks that her Southern-fried chicken recipe can stand up to Billy’s “Piano Man.”
