John, I wouldn't be surprised if his current girlfriend, Amal Alamuddin is the one. She is also a super star in her field, law, which is not only different than his, but one he can respect. I couldn't find any info on her birthday other than the year. Friends are quoted as saying they expect him to pop the question any day now!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Dubya's Artworks
Emily, I'm trying to describe the unusual feature in Clooney's chart in simple terms. In other words, his tenth house, representing his career, is not very strong since Mars, the 10th lord, is placed in the sixth house. Ordinarily, this would mean that this person will have difficulty in having a successful career. However, in Clooney's chart, the lord of the sixth house is the Moon, a feminine planet, which is placed in the 12th house of loss. In jyotish, this means that he has a Viparita Yoga. This means that, despite the weakness of the indicators, it becomes good for him--in fact, the yoga gives him success and money. In other words, the female population (represented by the Moon) will somehow save his career, and even the rest of his enemies will recognize this draw and would follow him. Thus, it results in a victory for him which is essentially the reason why he is so popular right now. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, emilymaenot@... wrote : You betcha John, us womenfolks, we base our votes on the important stuff, like how many times George Clooney has been titled sexiest man of the year...or, have I misinterpreted you? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, jr_esq@... wrote : Share, If George Clooney ever gets married, it is also possible that he'll get involved in politics.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Dubya's Artworks
Bhairitu, I'd to recheck Dubya's jyotish chart to find out where he got this talent for art. But I do remember he has Saturn and Mercury in the first house, just like Bill Clinton. And both of them were born under the sign of Cancer. Because of this, Sanjay Rath, the jyotishi, was speculating that Saturn and Mercury must be a special yoga for Cancer ascendants since these two people have been able to rise to the most powerful position in the world as president of the US. However, it's interesting to consider what the vedic shastras say about this yoga. It's basically saying that the conjunction of Saturn and Mercury means that the person involved hides the truth. IMO, this statement has a ring to it since all politicians never tell the truth anyway. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote : He probably should have been an artist and stayed out of the family business.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Dubya's Artworks
Salyavin, I also thought the Putin portrait was scary looking. And I also agree with whoever said they looked like paint by numbers. Though I don't like Bush, I admire that he launched himself into such new territory at his age. I think Grandma Moses did too. But she was, I think, more successful as an artist.

If he had to think too much about what he was doing, it could get in the way of that process. Maybe if he'd started studying when he was much younger it would have become second nature by now. I'm startled, frankly, that he has as much insight into people as the portraits reveal. There's a lot more in them than in anything Hitler ever painted, as far as I'm concerned. If I had more money than I knew what to do with, I might buy a portrait or two if they were for sale and the price was reasonable (thousands, not millions). I'm surprised at myself that I find them so appealing, because I REALLY hate Bush! I'd like to know how much they would go for. Not sure how much of a draw his name would be even as the work isn't that good. Hitler's watercolour daubings would probably sell for a lot even though they aren't anything special.
