Reality star confesses she's addicted to plastic surgery.

Virgo

Neptune surfs into Pisces today, your seventh house of marriage, partners, and (gasp!) open enmity. It's a tricky new phase that will flavor the atmosphere for a long time to come. Be as patient and philosophical as you can. Avoid scandalous or dishonest people, or situations that could damage your reputation. It's possible to counterbalance the potential for erosion or uncertainty in alliances with a high level of spiritual and intuitive sensitivity, but nevertheless deception and delusion are in the wind, so be wary. Control any unrealistic expectations; you are vulnerable to false flattery and those who promise more than they can deliver.
