Hello, people, it is that time
of the month again.
I'm Thomas Leblanc.
And I'm Tranna Wintour.
Welcome to an all new episode
of Lucky Stars.
We are your astro-pop
guides walking you through the
entire zodiac by roasting
the celebrities born under each
sun sign.
And this season is all about
Aquarius.
Aquarius season, this is pretty
exciting, Aquarius is a pretty
exciting sign.
It covers the time period between
January 20th and February
18th.
Aquarius is actually an
air sign.
This is not a water sign, and it's
ruled by the planet Uranus.
I have to say I love
that astrologers today have
found all new pronunciations
for Uranus because no one wants to
say Uranus.
Like I've heard, astrologers call it
Ur-anus, Ur-ahness,
like it's Uranus people, just
deal with it.
Uranus is the planet of revolution.
It's the planet of breaking rules.
It's a really electrifying planet.
Aquarius is the 11th sign
of the zodiac, so that means
it's ruled by the 11th house, the
house of society,
interacting with other people and
also challenging norms.
So you'll see Aquarius is all
about challenging the status quo.
Before we get to our Aquarian
celebrities, let's take a closer
look at some of the key Aquarius
traits.
Now, Aquarians are actually known
to be the humanitarians of
the zodiac, which I found really
surprising because I
feel like every Aquarius that I've
ever known is totally in their own
world with their head in the clouds.
So I was kind of shocked to learn
that Aquarians are the ones
that are leading us forward to
a better world.
The thing with Aquarians is that
they're very individualistic
in the way they approach society,
so a lot of them are
delusional and think
that they're the chosen ones,
that they can have an impact and
they can change the world.
And sometimes they do.
So aquariums have a really tricky
relationship to changing the world
because on one hand, they're fully
delusional.
And on the other hand, sometimes it
works out.
Aquariums are very
highly intelligent.
I mean, to a point where they become
unrelatable.
Aquarians do not do
feelings, they do concepts.
Aquarians are intellectuals.
They love technology and Aquarians
are about the future.
They like to look forward.
They don't dwell on the past.
They're not nostalgic.
They don't care about sort of like
mushy Cancerian/Pisces
emotions, they're really about, like
looking ahead.
Aquarians are also known for their
really nonconformist attitude,
and that also manifests itself
in their asthetics.
You'll notice that Aquarians tend to
have a really offbeat,
unique fashion sense, taste
in home decor.
It's all about standing out for
Aquarians.
They don't want to be a part of the
crowd, they want to lead the crowd,
but they don't want to be a part of
it.
Also, Aquarians are truly
just rebels.
They want to stir things up,
shake things up.
That is truly who they are.
Let's take a look at celebrities
born during Aquarius season.
First up, it's the queen
of the whole fucking world, it's
Oprah.
Born January 29.
Oprah!
I mean, that is a signature Oprah
move. You know that whenever Oprah
would introduce her guests,
she would yell their names.
I live for it.
Miley Cyrus.
So of course, Oprah is known
as humanitarian work.
She has done incredible charitable
work throughout her entire career.
But she sort of lives up to that
Aquarian contradiction of being
the savior of the world,
but also being caught up in her own
world. I'll never forget the time
during the recession around
2008/2009, and Oprah was doing these
live Friday episodes,
and one of them had Gayle and Tyler
Perry, and they were all just
talking about how they fly private
jets and how Oprah bought Tyler
Perry a Bentley for his birthday.
So like, you know, Oprah
is amazing, but let's keep it a
little real.
You know, she opened this girls
school in South Africa.
So as an Aquarius, I
bet that she feels she can do
whatever she wants because
she is so involved in good causes.
Of course, and there's that Aquarian
delusion that also applies
to Oprah. Oprah is not above
the Aquarian delusions
of grandeur.
Of course, Oprah's show
defined 25
years of pop culture.
Pop culture as we know it would not
exist without Oprah.
She has interviewed everyone,
and she has always asked the hard
hitting questions.
I think the most important question
she ever asked was to Meghan Markle
when she said, Were you silent
or were you silenced?
Were you silent or were you
silenced?
Media is a huge
Aquarian trade, Aquarius
ruled the media, they love the
media, they understand how media
works, and this is no coincidence
that Oprah's an Aquarius.
Before we move on from Oprah, I
just want to throw a
few major iconic Oprah
moments at you.
There was, of course, the time where
she gave everybody a car.
There is the time where Tom Cruise
jumped up on her sofa and grabbed
her and shook her.
Have you ever felt this way?
There's the time that her and Gayle
went to an Amish society
and lived there for 24 hours,
they were supposed to be there for
like a week, but they couldn't
handle it.
Oprah is everything.
I don't think I'll be spending
another night here. I'll be traumatized by the mice.
Our next Aquarians celebrity
is Paris Hilton.
Born February 17th,
Paris is actually 40-years-old.
She's turning 41 in 2022.
She is now a married woman, and
she is such an Aquarius.
First of all, kooky sense of style.
All pink, all the time.
She's the original kind of
influencer celebrity in the social
media age.
For a long time, I didn't really
understand why people were fans of
Paris Hilton, but now I get it.
You know, I listen to her song,
"Stars are Blind", it came out in
the late 2000s and I'm like, This
girl, she is so
good, so funny, and so in on
the joke. And that's what I love
about Paris. There's a line in this
song where she sings, "You can
see me, the real me inside and
I'm satisfied," and that is
so Aquarian.
Like, they really just want to be
seen for who they are.
But it's not really about the other
person. It's just like validation
is what they're seeking.
Of course we know Paris from The
Simple Life.
And from
being like this really incredible
business woman, for being
Kim Kardashian's boss, you know,
almost 20 years ago.
But I think this clip
of David Letterman cornering
Paris when she's coming on the show
to promote whatever she's promoting,
and he's trying to corner her into
speaking about her going to jail
is something you never, ever,
ever do to an Aquarius.
But now you're making me sad that I
came because you're hurting my feelings. No,
no, please, no, no, please don't.
Nobody said it.
Next up is a true gay
icon. It's the one and
only Ellen DeGeneres
born January 26.
Now we all kind of know Ellen
today as the villain of
the 2SLGBTQ+ community.
But there was a time
when Ellen was a hero, and
we should not forget that.
Ellen had one of the most
groundbreaking, important
public coming outs ever
in the 90s when she came out as gay
on her 90s TV show Ellen.
Take a look.
I'm gay!
I think that that speaks to
that activist and rebellious
spirit of Aquarius, of Ellen
being on this mega successful
comedy show and just
wanting to be her authentic self
and taking that risk, knowing very
well that in the 90s, so
many people's careers ended
after they came out and that did
happen to Ellen.
There was a major backlash against
her.
The announcements have set off a
huge debate.
In the
ratings of her show went down.
It was canceled.
She was super depressed, but she
came back in true Aquarius
style with her now
mega successful, that definitely
rivals Oprah's, The Ellen
Show.
And I'll be honest with you.
Yeah, I love Jesus, but I drink a
little.
I mean, throughout the years on The
Ellen Show, Ellen has helped so
many people, given away so much
money.
She's become friends and interviewed
every celebrity possible.
And I think where the Aquarian
delusion comes into place is that
this whole time, Ellen thought
she was making everyone happy in
the world a better place.
But behind the scenes, all of
her employees were living an
extremely toxic environment
and hating Ellen that all came
to light thanks to one
very important celebrity.
Dakota Johnson.
I wasn't invited.
Actually, no, that's not the truth.
Ellen, you were invited.
Dakota totally called
Ellen out on her mean girl shit.
And from there, it only got worse
during the pandemic.
Ellen's employees came forward
and Ellen's basically
retiring now.
So I feel very conflicted
about Ellen. I'm so grateful for the
road that she paved.
I just wish that she didn't let all
of this success get to her head and
turn evil.
Ellen, come back to us.
Or take a break first and then come
back to us.
Our next Aquarian celebrity
is Laura Dern, born
February 10th.
I think it's safe to say that
Laura Dern is every
gay person's favorite actress.
She has had the most
iconic roles
from Jurassic Park, to
Wild, and
of course, Big Little Lies,
which I think is when we all
had this major
Laura Dern reawakening
because no one embodies
the desperate, terrifying,
clueless, delusional,
rich white woman quite
like Laura Dern.
She has that nailed.
And for whatever reason,
us LGBTQ folks
have always been fascinated with
rich white women on the verge
of a nervous breakdown.
So don't go there.
Don't go there, Judgy judger.
Laura, thank you for all
of the iconic moments that you've
given us.
Lucky stars, viewers, maybe
at this point you know that I love
to tap into queer history.
My next pick is Virginia Woolf,
born January 25th.
Yes, she is a queer icon.
She she's part of the queer canon.
She is the original sad girl,
as portrayed by Nicole Kidman in the
hours.
I wish for your sake, Leonard,
I could be happy in this quietness.
Of course, Virginia Woolf wrote
Orlando, a pioneering
work of queer literature adapted
with Tilda Swinton in the early 90s.
But she's also the object of a queer
romance movie about her story
with Vita Sackville West, another
writer from the early 20th century.
Why do you think your books sell
more than mine?
Popularity was never a sign of
genius,
And one of our colleagues at Xtra
Magazine said that the movie looks
like it's an AI generated
film about
two lesbians falling in love.
Are you going to smoke that?
OK, so I have to end
this with a totally
underrated Aquarian
icon legend.
Yoko Ono, born
February 18th.
To me, it does not
get more Aquarius
than Yoko Ono, who is
simultaneously a
rebel heart warrior activist
and also the most
wacky performance
artist living in her own
universe.
I love her so much.
Now, I really have to
thank Yoko Ono
for breaking up The Beatles,
because I love it when things
straight guys love are ruined.
And Yoko ruined the thing
they love the most.
Thank you, Yoko.
Thank you.
Yoko sat in that very chair.
And that's a wrap for Aquarius
season, wow, what a trip.
Thank you so much for watching.

I am a Pisces.
I have been waiting since we started
this show to do this
episode. I can't wait.
I will just say it right now.
Pisces are the best.
We're carrying the entire zodiac
on our shoulders.
Don't miss it.

month.
