Did you happen to catch The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last evening and Jude Law discussing how Sir Paul McCartney dedicated his peformance in Australia of Hey Jude to the actor who was named after the song? How timely since Jude Law now stars in a new theatrical film Firebrand about King Henry VIII. The film focuses on Henry's sixth wife Catherine Parr who outlasted His Majesty, and who raised and taught his children, among other accomplishments.

Watch Stephen interview Jude here.

And check out Henry VIII's Sun Cancer-Moon Aries personality blend (RR: AA for accuracy) at the natal chart link, above, for it reveals a feisty, shrewd survivor possessing a heroic spirit and a romantic nature who, as we know, could be temperamental, moody, and possessive particularly in his later years.

A survivor, that is, until he died of hepatic dropsy on January 28, 1547 OS (February 7 NS) at Westminster in a horribly painful condition - and with Venus @29Pisces - right where transit Neptune hangs around these days - a perfect transit for the premiere of a celluoid depiction of a romantic and vengeful king whose reputation could use a glamorous sprucing up - if it's possible!

Well, the film should be riveting and very well performed if not historically accurate. Here's a link to the offical trailer of Firebrand.
