George Clooney

George Clooney carries an unusual blend: the grounded charm of the earth and the restless mind of the air. His Sun shines in Taurus, the bull, the Venusian pillar of solid values, sensual ease and unshakeable conviction, which is why he reads as so reliably at home in his own skin. From his breakthrough as Dr Doug Ross on ER, he built a career of real staying power: leading man in Ocean's Eleven and its trilogy, Oscar-winner both for acting in Syriana and for producing Argo, and a director of substance from Good Night, and Good Luck to The Ides of March. That Taurus Sun sits quietly in his twelfth house, the unknowable house of spirit, dissolution and selflessness, which fits the man behind the fame: the humanitarian, United Nations Messenger of Peace, whose light seems to shine most through what he gives away. His Moon in Aquarius is the selfless, collective psyche fused with humanity, the nonconformist wired to the tribe and to causes larger than himself, and placed in his ninth house of philosophy, foreign horizons and higher ideals, it draws him toward the world's big questions and, fittingly, to marriage with a human-rights lawyer. Rising in Gemini, he meets us as the quicksilver, youthful, ever-versatile charmer, the messenger who never seems to age.
