George Clooney – a role to remember

George Clooney is being hailed by critics with ‘his best performance ever’ playing an ageing Hollywood A-lister suffering a midlife crisis on a trip through Europe in Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly which has just premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

 Born 6 May 1961 2.58 am Lexington, KY, he has a 2^nd house Sun in Taurus opposition a film-star’s 8^th house Neptune which in turn squares Jupiter in Aquarius – laid back, friendly, with humanitarian interests and an aura of fantasyland. He has Mars in flashy Leo in his performing 5^th in a high-vitality opposition to Jupiter and a harder-edged opposition to Moon Saturn in late Capricorn. His 6^th house independent-minded Uranus trines an upfront Venus in Aries and squares his Sun Mercury. His Pluto North Node in Virgo is sparsely aspected suggesting he may find difficulty integrating his drive for power and influence.

 At the moment he has tr Jupiter moving through his sociable 5^th house for a morale-boosting few months. He will be under pressure of a good variety with tr Pluto square his Mars/Jupiter midpoint now and through 2026 which suggests success and will be positive for new projects.

  Though quite what his Solar Arc Pluto conjunct his 8^th house Neptune will bring by late 2027 into 2028 is not clear. Pluto on Neptune can be majorly confused but it can also trigger great ambitions – in this case from behind the scenes.

 His marriage to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin, 3 February 1978, has produced twins and despite a composite Sun conjunct Scheat appears to be sailing along contentedly. Her Jupiter in Gemini falls in his family 4^th house and her Aquarius Sun Venus in his hidden 12^th house – so it is a relationship that thrives away from public view. Her (Moon) Neptune sits on his Midheaven adding a caring slant to his career. Her Mars falls in his 5^th house of children and fun though it opposes his Moon Saturn which will create a few rough edges.

  Their relationship chart has a Water Grand Trine of Sun trine Neptune trine Mars with Sun opposition Pluto – again hinting at a relationship lived in a private bubble which is closely knit together, at times controlling and possessive.
