Gorgeous
George
 Born
on May 6, 1961, in Lexington, Kentucky (time unknown), Taurus George Clooney
has the kind of classic, Venus-ruled good looks and killer sex appeal
that have resulted in comparisons to Clark Gable and Cary Grant, as well
as nominations for “Sexiest Man Alive” and one of the “100 Most Eligible
Bachelors” by People Magazine. His female fans are legion,
and the smoldering star of the Emmy-winning ER, and this
summer’s smash hit A Perfect Storm effortlessly sets their
hearts thumping with his “bedroom eyes” and undeniable charisma.
And yet,
for all his movie star appeal, Clooney is an earthy, regular guy who isn't
one to toot his own horn and is rather embarrassed by his status as a
sex symbol. His solid Taurus Sun-Mercury conjunction shows a sensual,
back-to-basics man who relies on his own five senses, lives in the present
and accepts life on its own terms without a lot of fuss. Clooney is no
tortured artist type, nor does he go for the pampered superstar hype.
He is always quick to give credit to co-stars, directors and crew and
is uncomfortable being fawned over. In return, his co-stars and directors
adore him.
Though Clooney’s
Mars in Leo does put him in the limelight, and he admits he loves the
attention that comes with star status, his practical Mercury in Taurus
connects positively with a sober Saturn in Capricorn, creating a special
blend of capability and self-deprecating humor that keeps his feet on
the ground, his head out of the clouds and everyone clamoring for more.
So
Why Is He Still Single?
Clooney was
born when the planet Venus was in the sign of Aries, and Venus in Aries
people often have a hard time giving up their independent pursuits for
the demands of a serious romantic partnership. The key words for Aries
are "I Am," and a certain degree of selfishness in matters of
the heart has been noted among people with this placement of Venus. He
shoulders the blame for the breakup of his marriage of less than three
years to actress Talia Balsam, and openly admits that his last relationship
with girlfriend Celine Balitran broke up because he wasn’t sensitive to
her wishes for more time together.
Venus in
Aries is fond of sports, competition, physical activity and male companionship,
and when Clooney isn’t working, which is seldom, he usually spends his
free time with a pack of long-standing buddies (he refers to them as "The
Boys") playing basketball or golf, riding motorcycles or hanging
out with his pot bellied pig, Max, at his eight-bedroom place in L.A.
There just isn’t much time left for love affairs.
Because we
aren't sure of Clooney's birth time, his Moon sign is uncertain; but it
seems likely that he has an Aquarian Moon (it’s possible if he was born
early in the day that he has a Capricorn Moon). The Aquarius Moon, combined
with Jupiter, would lighten up and add widespread popularity and personal
appeal to the earthy elements in his chart, as well as a love of silliness
and horseplay. Clooney is well known for the practical jokes that he instigates
on the set and at home, and the playful friendships he forms give him
his greatest emotional satisfaction.
For Clooney,
love equals friendship, and he makes it clear that his first love is work,
and his second love is friends. His active, fiery Venus, combined with
his dynamic, dramatic Mars in Leo, confirms that his work as an actor
is indeed his true love and he’s happiest right in the middle of the action.
Fortune
Smiles: The Perfect Movie
Clooney has
definitely paid his showbiz dues with plenty of hard work and experience,
and though his films Out Of Sight and Three Kings
won him critical acclaim and respect within the movie industry, they did
not hit it big at the box office. But as Clooney's natal Jupiter, the
planet of success and wealth, is trined by transiting Jupiter and conjoined
by transiting Neptune, the planet associated with movies, the release
of The Perfect Storm is changing all that with current box
office receipts of well over $170 million dollars. The true story of the
heroic efforts of a doomed fishing crew in a monstrous Atlantic storm
is just the kind of thing Clooney thrives on, and he says he felt honored
to be a part of the project. Though he has stated that he often went home
bruised, battered, wet and freezing after the long, grueling days of shooting
the film, we can be sure this strong, stubborn bull with the heart of
a warrior wouldn’t have it any other way.
