HOME POPSTROLOGY 101 WHAT'S YOUR SIGN? THE ORIGINS OF POPSTROLOGY ABOUT THE AUTHOR CONTACT US Start        Birth Years        Birthstars        Constellations Talent is nice, but nothing says "money in the bank" like money in the bank. Take a pencil and write down three words that rhyme with "yacht." We get "dot," "pot," and "snot," but bonus points to you if you came up with either of Carly Simon's choices: "apricot" and "gavotte." Qu'est-ce que c'est qu'une gavotte, you ask? If you have to ask, then clearly you weren't raised in the wealthy and cultured milieu that taught your gorgeous and talented Birthstar lots of words like "milieu" and the name of many obscure French country dances. Carly Simon is the daughter of the Simon and Shuster fortune, you see, and signs of her ruling-class, media-elite background aren't difficult to spot: they're there in You're So Vain, her signature song about a Lear jet-flying boyfriend; they're there in the cozy Hollywood relationships that led to a string of seventies and eighties movie-theme hits like Nobody Does It Better, Coming Around Again, and Let The River Run; they're there in the savvy deals to sell ketchup and aspirin with Anticipation and I Haven't Got Time For The Pain; and they're there in the late-career dabbling as an author of children's books (published by...well, go ahead and guess). Capital begets capital, they say, but as a popstrological child of Carly Simon, you already know that. It's why you dedicate so much of your energy to attaining the status you were born to inhabit, even if it wasn't the status into which you were born.
