Yes, he does have an exalted Sun.  In Bhrigu Nandi Nadi jyotish, it means that 
his father was very successful.  He also has an exalted Venus, which refers to 
his aunt, since Venus is next to the Sun.  His aunt is further a well known 
musical celebrity herself.

In addition, this Venus holds the key for knowing his future wife.  She too 
will be well known and very beautiful.  She will be almost like a royalty.  So, 
it appears that George is looking for this lady to marry.  If he can't find

 If George Clooney ever gets married, it is also possible that he'll get 
involved in politics.  This is due to the exalted Sun in his chart.  Can you

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.

 Yes, he does have an exalted Sun.  In Bhrigu Nandi Nadi jyotish, it means that 
his father was very successful.  He also has an exalted Venus, which refers to 
his aunt, since Venus is next to the Sun.  His aunt is further a well known 
musical celebrity herself.
 

 In addition, this Venus holds the key for knowing his future wife.  She too 
will be well known and very beautiful.  She will be almost like a royalty.  So, 
it appears that George is looking for this lady to marry.  If he can't find 
her, he'll remain a bachelor.

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.

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. I

stupid prices a Van Gough or Monet would.

 Salyavin, 

 It all depends if he can sell these artworks for millions during his lifetime, 
and if the art collectors in the future would value them like those of Van 
Gough and Monet.  But I would have to give him credit for expanding his 
creative talents after leading the US into expensive war campaigns in Iraq and 
Afghanistan.

John, he has often stated that he never intends to marry. In fact, he broke up 
with one girlfriend simply because she admitted in an interview that she wanted 
to marry someday and have children.

Now that you've mentioned it, I've always wondered why George Clooney is still 
single after dating all of those gorgeous women he was associated with in the 
past.  Now, he's got a new girlfriend again.  One wonders if he'll ever get 
married.

John, beauty is a fascinating topic from many angles. For example, I can 
totally see why people say that George Clooney is very handsome, etc. But there 
are other actors who I find far more attractive. Go figure!

As the old saying goes, Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.  But I 
imagine, the artistry lies in combining different colors, along with the shades 
of dark and light.  I remember one painting style which makes the portrait look 
crystal clear.  I don't how it's done.  But I appreciate it's because I can't 
see that clearly without my glasses. :)

John, I understand what you're saying. Van Gogh is not one of my favorite 
artists and it has nothing to do with his mental
situation.  I am also mystified as to why some artists' works fetch such a high

OTOH, I walk into an art gallery and immediately find the work that I 
absolutely love. Though I don't understand my preferences, I trust them. And

 I'd be interested to look at his jyotish chart.  He probably has a yoga for 
bachelorhood, but not necessarily celebate.
