Joe Flanigan's astrology chart.

[icarus]

Bored last night, but unwilling to go to bed or do actual work, I started doing Joe Flanigan's astrology chart.



Okay, yes, he has all that heavy-handed Capricorn-ness. Yes, he has that managerial ability and fine intellect. Yes, he has a very serious sense of right and wrong (with ultra high standards for all, plus a few unconscious yet convenient loopholes for himself) -- but other than that, this is the most... feminine... chart I've ever read.

Are we sure he's straight?

I mean, check out that Mars in Libra, that "let's all get along," cooperative, "let's be fair," careful not to step on any toes, restrained actor. And over there, that vain, insufferably cute-tastic Jupiter - Venus opposition (complete with sweet tooth, aww, give the little boy a cookie). The playful, spontaneous and oh-so-available Venus trine Uranus. And that "hell hath no fury" possessive moody moon in Scorpio. The ineffable and vague Saturn in Pices, brooding on past wrongs. The melodramatic Ingrid Bergman-like "aloneness" and personal distance and mystique of Venus in Capricorn.

So much "look at me" and "pay attention to me," using attraction, and oh, so much love of creature comforts, of tasteful surroundings --

-- I swear, I read this and I'm expecting a Hollywood starlet from the 1940s, dripping with diamonds.

Instead we have... Joe. With his shirt untucked.

Huh?

Tres amusement.


ETA: The great thing about astrology? Voyeurism.

This chart suggests that he has such jealousy and fear of being cheated on that he'd happily put one of those electric dog collars on whomever he's with. On the other hand, it also shows that--if I'm reading this right--he pushes it to the edge with his flirting. And sometimes tips over that edge.

Yes. There is... what is it about him?

You should see what Sakoian's reference has to say. This is a sensitive guy.

Saturn in Pisces (extremlely important because this planet dominates)

Tends to become trapped in his memories of the past. An overactive, fearful imagination generates all types of anxieties and neuroses. Consequesntly, it is difficult for him to deal effectively with the demands of the present. In extreme cases the imagination creates personal slights and problems that do not exist. On the plus side, this gives him emotional understanding, humility, and the willingness to work hard on behalf of those less fortunate. If the rest of the chart indicates mental clarity (and it does) he has psychological insight into others. He is capable of deep meditation which steadies him and makes possible profound spiritual understanding.

He's capable of paranoiz, excessive worry, fretfulness, and regret over past mistakes and misfortunes. (He could go over the deep end with this.) In some cases the neurotic problems are manifested in physical illness.

He needs a certain amount of quiet and solitude to tap his inner resources. He should also spend some time participating in the affairs of the world to avoid moroseness and excessive introversion. He has to make an effort to avoid self-pity. Vain regretting of the past can become a cancerous growth on the soul, destroying happiness, creativity, and usefulness to self and others. This demands objective, critical self-analysis so that he can discover his personal worth and abilities--as well as defects--and find a way out of his difficulties. He has to learn to let go of the past and take constructive action in the present. He's likely to do things behind the scenes, especially in hospitals, etc.

Fortunately, linked up to that is:

He has the ability to carry on organizational plans behind the scenes. He's a strategist and good at ferreting out secrets and solving mysteries. Few clues, no matter how subtle, will escape his notice. There can be involvement in secret societies of a mystical or religious nature. He is able to make practical use of intuitive (practically clairvoyant) insight. His ability to visualize is photographic which contributes to this insight, and thus this favors -- I'm not makeing this up -- those who work in the movie industry.

Because of his steady concentration -- this is right out of the books, really -- he's good at meditation and using intuition. He's also skilled at analyzing subtle factors in the stock market. He has a sixth sense for that. He understands cause and effect.

Added to is this:

He has a keen artistic imagination, often expressed through airt and music of an uplifting nature. His emotions and sympathies (again) have a religious trend, giving him compassion and understanding. A sense of the sublime is evident; it manifests itself in a craving for ethereal beauty. There is gentleness in social expression, conveying grace. He will likely form alliances, friendships, or marry someone with a mystical character. He seeks an ideal love relationship. He can be a tad indolent at times.

And then this:

An artistic with exceptional skill.

He is loyal to his friends and loved ones and serious and constant in the expression of his emotions. He is likely to have an enduring marriage. He has a capacity to sacrifice personal happiness for the sake of duty or the happiness of others. Grace, refinement, and good breeding are evident. He tends to be polite if rather formal in social conduct.

He has the ability to make money through his profession and is skillful in business. He's frugal and makes sure he gets his money's worth.

Oh, that sounds fascinating and fitting, indeed.

There is gentleness in social expression, conveying grace. He will likely form alliances, friendships, or marry someone with a mystical character. He seeks an ideal love relationship. He can be a tad indolent at times.

Yes--the gentleness, the sweetness, and of course his wife is an artist.

That frugal bit would explain the shirts. (Srsly, Joe. Srsly.)

See what I mean about those feminine qualities? The feminine is very strong in his chart.

His frugality shows up in all that capricorn, too.

Nothing, however, explains the shirts. ;)
