I watched soaps for years, but it was never "turn off the phone. nobody bother me' type fanaticism - even tho I wrote the astrology column in Soap Opera Digest for about 5 years - but when "The Good Wife" comes on at 9 pm on Sunday night - that phone better not ring.....no one better need anything.
TGW is mesmerizing. Julianna Margulies is mesmerizing. Josh Charles, Christine Baranski, Archie Panjabi, Chris Noth, Alan Cumming....all are mesmerizing. The supporting cast on a show is always important to me, and I love them all. No one comes on the screen and I think "ewwwww. just leave".
"Parenthood" is my second favorite show now, but it's not the same. I love the cast, but I don't care for the storylines in most cases. It needs a new direction, new writers, maybe new directors; something behind the scenes that can turn it into more intriguing fare....but the cast keeps me coming back.
No problem with TGW.....there's nothing to point out, nothing to complain about......it's just mesmerizing from the moment the clock strikes 9pm til 10 pm arrives far too quickly.
We remember Julianna Margulies from "ER" and her matchup with George Clooney. I never watched ER much after they left. Julianna was born on June 8, 1966 in Spring Valley, New York. She's a Gemini with an Aquarian moon. The Aq moon gives her the wide appeal she has, but here we have two air signs, and you don't get that smoldering sexuality from air. No, that probably come from her Venus in Taurus. Mercury and Jupiter conjunct in Cancer, which can lend another aspect which keeps her grounded and sultry.....air signs are more flighty and wired. If we knew her time of birth, it would undoubtedly add to that groundedness.
In the new year, with the major aspect being Uranus moving in to square Pluto, Julianna has Pluto trining her Taurus Venus, so more accolades should come her way. Pluto also inconjuncts Mars back and forth all year, peaking in September when it goes direct again, after its retro period. An inconjunct is fairly benign, but there might be some surgery or a fanatic fan she has to deal with.
Josh Charles comes back to tv after a stint in New York on stage. We remember him from "Sports Night" with Felicity Huffmann. Josh was born on September 15, 1971 in Baltimore, Maryland. A seemingly self effacing guy, Josh's Virgo Sun and Venus conjunction is intensified with Pluto in Virgo nearby.....he's an intense guy who is probably meticulous and has his world organized. A Leo Moon softens the Virgnoness, and if we knew his time of birth, we would see where that magnetism comes from. In 2012, Pluto has moved passed most of the aspects to his planets, so uranus moves in to shake things up a bit. In the fall tho, when Pluto goes direct, it will be at the apex of the Yod between Saturn and the moon. Pluto is at the "answer" point.....it will show him his next move.
Christine Baranski is a Taurus, born May 2, 1952 in Buffalo, New York. Her Taurus sun is complimented by Jupiter in Taurus, and would be harmonious with Julianna's Taurus Venus. A Leo Moon gives her the love of the limelight, but Pluto is nearby, so she could well have mother issues.
2012 is a little dicey, what with Pluto squaring and Uranus opposing Saturn, back and forth. There might be a power stuggle, but by 2013, Pluto moves in to trine her Taurus sun, and all works to her benefit.
Alan Cumming literally struck gold with his role as Eli......a one dimensional character has been fleshed out exquisitely under Alan's guidance, and it's fascinating to see the vulnerability behind his outbursts. Alan was born on January 27, 1965 in Aberfeldy, Scotland. He's an Aquarian with a Sag moon. Sag loves to travel, which is indicative of the fact he moved from his native Scotland to the states. An Aquarian usually has wide appeal because it's the sign of the 'collective conscious'. They have excellent minds, which may be photogenic for remembering lines. In 2012, Uranus sextiles the sun and trines his moon, so opportunities will open up for him to move in new directions.
Chris Noth, "Peter", was born on November 13, 1954 in Madison, Wisconsin. He is a water sign with a capita "W"! He has a stellium in Scorpio - Mercury, Saturn, Sun and Venus, with 2 asteroids as well. Then he has moon, Jupiter and Uranus in Cancer. He's a very emotional person, but with Saturn as the planet behind the sun, he's also capable of letting his needs be known. Coming up, the new year looks fairly tame, but by 2013 he'll have his second Saturn return, where he'll re evaluate his life and decide what he still wants to accomplish and move in that direction.
Archie Panjabi, "Kalinda", was born on May 31, 1972 in Edgware, Middlesex, England. She's a Gemini with a Capricorn moon, and Saturn in Gemini conjunct her Gem sun, which gives her a strong non nonsense presence, yet she has Venus in Cancer to soften it. The new year sees some shifts in April, but the Uranus/Pluto major configuration will affect her Jupiter the strongest. Good she isn't in politics, but she can now be empowered and perhaps move in new directions.
After the holidays, I'll try to get back and comment on the charts of the other major cast members......but now back to my dvds of "The Good Wife" !!
