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.

Oh, I'd love to see that interview. Any info on it (or ideally a YouTube video)?

I've been looking through trying to find it, I know it was an old interview, set back when he was doing 'Sisters' so it's around 1995. It's some kind of morning show I believe, with, I seem to think and a male and female host. I seem to recall the set was very yellow! I've looked back through all my old emails and I was talking to my friend about it in January 2007 saying what uncomfortable viewing it was. I know his wife was part of the interview, as were her parents, though at that stage they weren't married. I have looked through YouTube and can't find it, I think I found it on a fan site, but the one I think it was seems to have disappeared. I can remember lots about it, including how she was giving him hassle on air for how he sometimes seemed to kiss co-stars a bit enthusiastically! I can't recall the exact word he used to describe their relationship but I remember thinking that it meant argumentative! Their body language throughout was very interesting! I'll keep looking and if I find it I'll let you know. It's going to irritate me till I find it now!

Oh, and at one point she was asked if his good looks had attracted him to her and she said 'No, to be honest that repelled me' When asked what is was then, she just looked at him, there was a long pause and he just said 'come on don't leave me hanging'. I remember feeling a bit sorry for him after seeing this. It's fascinating viewing though, I will try to find it for you.

Oh, this is marvelous. I hope you can find it. Fascinating. I'm picturing this and I'm very, very interested.
