A SMATTERING OF OBSTINACY

If truth be told, few could be as laid back as Mike Tindall. This is a guy who is so easy going he manages to get on with virtually everything that moves, horses, children, aristos and conflicted folk who seek his advice. He is, above all, a normal guy, a family man with just a smattering of obstinacy. In the main, he is appreciative of all he has created in this life and sustains a “feet on the ground “view of reality. In fact, he would have had to ensure those feet were very much on the ground when he was a gifted rugby player for England.

In other words, with his Sun in Libra and Moon in Taurus, this guy is solid yet easygoing, realistic but original and open to different lifestyles. In fact, he relishes the thought of living on the edge with a load of VIPs, hence his acceptance of a pitch on “I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here”.

ANXIOUS ROYALS

Mike is not new to reality shows; he already did “The Jump” for Channel Four in 2015, but the show was sports orientated, and there was no room for shenanigans or gossip. However, this time he is going for “reality gold”; after all, he is the first royal to do a Celebrity, being married to the gorgeous Zara Phillips, who is 20th in line to the throne.

There is no room for privacy in Celebrity, confidentiality is well out the window hour after hour, day after day. If he does not back out he will probably be the star of the show but also the object of morbid curiosity. Will he spill the beans about what is really going on behind Buckingham Palace’s closed doors? Will he let the blue blood cats, or corgis, out of the bag? In other words, does King Charles III have any reason to dread his possible appearance on Oprah?

SHROUDED IN SECRET

So far, any agreements between ITV and Zara Philips are top secret. One thing is for sure; Mike will be paid millions, well, close to millions anyways. What people do not understand is that his Astro aspects are so well balanced, his thoughts so harmonious due to his lovely Libran soul, and his allegiance to King and Country so loyal he would have to undergo some form of Chinese torture to betray the royal’s confidence. For all its horrors, Celebrity could never break his spirit. He will just enjoy his stint and probably laugh his head off at its trials and tribulations.

Of course, that does not mean he will not argue with his fellow celebrities He loves a good old “set to”, but his congenial personality will not rock the boat by any stretch of the imagination. He is a pal to everyone, he wants to feel he is one of the boys, yet the kind who does stand for any nonsense.

GLITZ AND GLITTER

He is drawn towards show biz folks anyway. He has attracted to the glitz and the glitter, he likes to walk out with a beautiful royal on his arm, a blue blood woman called Zara, who turns heads. He is not an introvert, and neither is he an extrovert; he is your basic chappie with a determined stance and a healthy mindset when it comes to the good and bad facts of life. This Astro tendency will ensure he does not do anything to create upset.

Of course, ITV executives are raising their champagne glasses. The 43-year-old is reportedly the ITV show’s biggest signing so far.

“He is sure to be discreet, but his sheer presence means this series will be an absolute must-watch.”

No doubt this larger-than-life guy will entrance us and we will be happy to see him emerge from our TV screens. But when one examines his Astro in-depth, both his Jupiter and Venus placements are so well situated, so conducive to a balanced life, it would be very unlikely that he would ever create a scandal. In fact, it is nigh on impossible.

Royal gossips eat your hearts out.
