Moon at 17 Sagittarius
Mercury at 29 Capricorn

Chart Reading:
Amal has a Grand Air Trine with Sun-Venus, Jupiter and Pluto. A sign of self-expression, expansion and transformation. It is also a kite with Moon-Neptune at the apex. She is good at using her emotions/ideals to drive towards utilizing the above in her life but faces challenging aspect with Jupiter's expansion.
There is also a Yod between Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury. She struggles hard but eventually learns to overcome and uses her Mercury (communication) in making contributions in expansion/spirtuality or in authorities/responsibilities. I see this being tied with her being an attorney and fluent in 3 languages.
She has quite a beautiful chart.
I'll move on to synastry chart because that's where it gets really interesting.
Synastry Chart:
George's Sun-Mercury squares Amal's Sun-Venus
The two of them have Sun-Sun square. It spells fatal attraction at first meeting, one very impressed by his eloquence, the other impressed by her grace and beauty and confidence. However Sun-Sun square usually mean two egos being unable to stand each other after a while. As both of their Sun signs are in fixed signs, they are stubborn fellows where none refuse to back off.
George's Moon-Saturn conjuncts Amal's Mercury --- [A]
George's Mars conjuncts Amal's Mars --- [B]
Set [A] opposite Set [B] (this is so "Maths")
George's Saturn-Moon is drawn to Alma's eloquence but he also wants to discipline her about it. As she is a lawyer (and her Yod), I think she is someone who is fine with handling authoritative figures so she's all good when dealing with George. However, they do have this Mars-Mars aspect. Mars-Mars conjunction would mean they have similarities in goals and sex. Since it is at the same spot directly opposite set [A], the Mars opposition energy is what both of them are familiar with, but it doesn't mean it doesn't frustrate them.
George feels the need to discipline whenever it comes to her communication, and when Alma replies perhaps not to his liking, his Mars opposition would trigger an anger response. A Mars-Mars conjunction here would burn and spread quickly since both are at the same point. George's Mars is in Leo while Alma's Mars is in Cancer. Cancer Mars can be passive aggressive when angered, inviting the roaring Leo Mars to pounce all over again.
As both are eloquent and expressive speakers, I can imagine a strong verbal argument to go on. I mean, you have to expect that if you are dating or marrying an attorney.
George's Venus, Amal's Moon-Neptune, George's Uranus form a Grand Fire Trine.
Amal's Sun-Venus is at the apex of the kite.
George's Pholus conjuncts Amal's Sun-Venus
The Grand Fire Trine or Kite is a great aspect, which suggests his love and her ideals/emotions and his unexpectness/originality work harmoniously together. Alma would be in the driver seat, driving it all together using her confidence/love/grace. George's Pholus there actually means that that's his turning point. Indeed her appearance in his life is his turning point. It made him change his mind about marriage.
George's Sun-Mercury square his Uranus
George's Venus trine his Uranus
Amal's Sun -Venus square her Uranus
In synastry,
George's Sun-Mercury opposite Amal's Uranus
Amal's Sun-Venus opposite George's Uranus
There's a lot of Uranus energy going on here. Both want to be free in different aspects. Alma prefers a less constraining relationship where she doesn't feel tied down. George wants to self-express himself in a rebellious manner. In the relationship, that's probably what draws them together. Uranus is also linked to humanitarian matters. It describes their passion which binds their relationship too, which is fighting for human rights.
Amal's Eros conjuncts George's Juno
Amal's passion triggers George's interest in making a commitment towards this relationship.
George's Pallas conjuncts Alma's Pholus-Persephone
George's Pluto-North Node conjuncts Amal's Proserpina-Saturn
In my previous entry, I talked about Pallas activation. Sure enough, George's Pallas is activated conjuncting Alma's Pholus (the turning point). His Pallas sense the potential in her.
In mythology, Perserphone/Proserpina was the maiden that got kidnapped by Hades (Pluto) from her controlling mother and got transformed to be Queen of the Underworld. Amal's Pholus-Persephone conjunction could imply she's someone waiting for a person to swoop her up and develop her to her fullest potential. Meeting George Clooney was probably unexpected as he is not someone from her circle. As it is also in Pisces, it could imply she's getting over dreamy about this handsome guy she has been dreaming all her life. Maybe she has a secret interest in getting into Hollywood. Who knows.
The Pluto-Proserpina conjunction and overall theme is pretty strong in their synastry. A binding transformational relationship. Maybe George tranforms her to be "Hollywood-ready" or ready in the public's eye. George's North Node conjuncts her Proserpina would suggest her transformation would indeed bring him much further. She could possibly be the one boosting his image and further aiding him towards his passion in human rights
There's more but I'll stop here.
Is this love?
I think it is, but more of a goal-driven kind of love.
On a second look, I realize in synastry, there is a Grand Fixed Cross. Grand Cross usually means really very challenging aspect with lots of energy. Personally, I don't like the fixed cross because it is rigid and not flexible. I picture lots of arguments again over freedom given in the relationship and individuality. Well, as they have the transformational theme going in their chart, there is a possibility it could work out. But it would involving breaking a lot of their old habits and restrictions to accommodate, in particular I think it would be George Clooney's.
Hi Astrolofting!
ReplyDeleteNot sure who you are in the astrological community, but this is a very interesting and valid interpretation using asteroids in synastry. I use both, but mostly major planetary points with the 4 most common asteroids. However, using an ever wider astrological vocabulary is to be commended.
After reading recently that this marriage is already on the rocks and seeing how disinterested Amal was in her husband's 'office party' last night. I decided to take a look at their synastry, which I have studied for decades. The Sun square Sun is very telling -- their realms of 'authority' and 'egos' collide and have no common ground. Then her Venus is also square his Sun, which is a 'wrong person' aspect.
I see absolutely nothing to keep this couple together, especially with her Saturn quincunx his Moon conjunct Saturn at 27-29 Cap. She will be a definite downer for him and all he is emotionally attached to, like his career and public acclaim, and with her Mercury there, she'll likely push a pin into his balloon. Deflating a male (especially a husband) is NEVER a good idea.
I don't believe this marriage will make it to 2-3 years. It had to have occurred under progressions, that will play out and they will make their lives more and more separate with her Uranus opp his Sun.
Thanks for the interpretation! Gae
