Despite their roller coaster romance for the public eye to see, Taylor and Burton shared an undeniable love greater than most people could have ever dreamed.

“We are thrilled Lindsay will portray beloved Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor,” added Sharenow. “She is one of the rare actresses who possesses the talent, beauty and intrigue to capture the spirit of such a provocative icon.”
Liz & Dick will be produced by Larry A. Thompson Productions, Inc. Larry A. Thompson (Amish Grace, Lucy & Desi) will serve as executive producer, with Christopher Monger (Temple Grandin) writing.

One of the most famous romances of all time was influenced by the stars. The astrologically favored union between Richard Burton, the passionate Scorpio and Elizabeth Taylor, the ultra feminine Pisces, represents a true case study for this harmonious astral alliance. Scorpio man/Pisces woman is a powerful combination and the physical chemistry between them is practically narcotic. When together, these two forget to eat, sleep and think. But the Scorpio male can be moody, macabre and difficult to understand, then suddenly sting with savage sarcasm, while Pisces female, although soft and womanly, has a subtle way of nagging akin to Chinese water torture. She also has an underlying need to be taken care of that can irritate Scorpio. “He likes to be challenged, she wants to be gratified. She controls him through desire; he devours her through control. A love/hate affair that is likely to be memorable.”
“Elizabeth, you are a dark and bottomless ocean and I have no choice but to drown in you.” Richard Burton
Why do some people including celebrities defy the old adage "Burn me once shame on you, burn me twice shame on me? Without shame the singer Pink and her ex-husband Gary Hart, rapper Eminem and his ex, now current wife Kim, and pop stars Chris Brown and Riahana all repeatedly return to seemingly toxic relationships. A classic example of this type of relationship is the one between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Certainly not exclusive to celebrities, this behavior does raise the question are they weak or are they drawn to the relationship because of their past actions or past lives, their karma?
Karma is defined as "the total effect of a person's actions and conduct during the successive phases of the person's existence, regarded as determining the person's destiny". In astrology the planet Saturn is the Karma planet. Romans and Greeks associated Saturn with the God of Time. In Hindu astrology the planet Saturn is known as The Judge determining everyone by his or her own good and bad deeds. In Hinduism and Buddhism the root of the word Karma is action. The Karma of thought has less impact on consequences than the Karma of action. If a person helped someone from a sense of duty rather than from true compassion there could me karmic thought results.
Often actions are repeated over and over again until a lesson is learned from them. Some traditions believe that this can take multiple lifetimes and other cultures believe the lessons may never be learned. It can simply be a case of an individual's willingness and ability to learn and change.
Many people, like Geri Halliwell, who want to find love and break from bad relationships, consult a psychic. Truly gifted psychics are guides enlightening people to things they can't perceive themselves. To learn about past actions, even those in past lives that might be impacting present relationships psychics are consulted for a past life reading.
Since Saturn holds the key the psychic charts Saturn's position at the time of birth arriving at the Karmic sign.
Saturn remains in one astrological sign for 2.5 years. It takes Saturn 29 years to return to each astrological sign. Saturn's alignment to other planets, location of the house Saturn occupied and whether or not Saturn was retrograde is crucial in fully understanding a person's Karma.
Each astrological planet and house can hold a Karma key. The knowledge of planet alignment and which planets oppose each other can hold the key that unlocks a whole new life. When an opposition aspect appears in a person's astrological chart that person usually brings people in to their life that make them miserable or take away from the joy that person is capable of feeling.
To fully understand and benefit from astrology and how it impacts a person's life it is advisable to consult a psychic for a professional Karma charting.
