Gentle readers, it is awards time again. Apparently this year's Emmys were
scheduled for the slowest TV month of the year in what seems to me a rather
backasswards attempt to garner attention. What the network brass apparently
did not consider is that the reason August is a slump month is that most people
would rather be outside doing things than watching TV (except when Project
Runway is on, of course) or, for that matter, gathering copious amounts
of birth data to make predictions about awards shows. Luckily (?) for me, the
weather is crappy today, and other than the ridiculous volume of work I am procrastinating
to avoid, there is nothing to keep me from the task of predicting this year's
Emmy winners.
Without preambling further, let's get to it.
Now, regular readers will know that I could not be more biased on this category
because I am a huge fan of The Office and of Steve Carell. Had
Jason Lee been nominated for My Name Is Earl, I might have been
kinda torn, but the fact is that I desperately want my boy Steve to win. So,
how's it looking? I like very much that on Emmy night, transiting Venus is closing
in on an exact return to its natal position in Leo, not far from Steve's Sun,
strongly suggesting an ego-gratifying reward. The transiting Sun will be right
on Steve's Uranus, which could indicate a sudden surprise or reversal—that
could go either way, as I'm not sure he's favored to win. Transiting Uranus
on Steve's Chiron does not bode well for the surprise being a positive one,
but perhaps Uranus' trine to transiting Jupiter, which is on Steve's Neptune,
softens things a bit.
Don't get me wrong, I think Larry David is hilarious, too, and he even warranted a CelebAstroBlogy exclusive birth chart when I discovered his was not online. Since his birth time is not on file, this is a default sunrise chart that places his Moon in late Sagittarius, but given that pessimism is the keynote of his persona, my money would be on the Moon in Capricorn, perhaps opposing his Sun to create that constantly-thwarted element of his personality. As for the prospect of Emmy night thwartage, I'm afraid it looms large. On Emmy night, there is an aggravating square from transiting Mars to Larry's Venus-Uranus conjunction. Moreover, Larry went through his Saturn return not long ago, in June, and I just have a sense that his moment of reckoning has come and gone.
With Uranus retrograding over Kevin James' Saturn and opposing its natal
position, I don't see him taking home the trophy. The Sun is trining his Sun-Venus
conjunction in Taurus, but...eh. (The Sun is also on his Mars-Uranus, so I could
see him getting kinda pissed about not winning.) Tony Shalhoub is getting no
love from the planets on Emmy night, though the Moon will be passing over his
stellium of Libra planets.
As for infamous Charlie Sheen, wow, his chart is a study unto itself...
but bearing in mind that I have 15 more to look at before Sunday at 8pm, I must
confine myself to his Emmy prospects. Like Kevin James, who was born less than
six months earlier, Charlie has Uranus on his Saturn and opposing its natal
position. A Jupiter-Sun sextile is nice, but, again, eh.
Forecast: If you're putting money on this, keep in mind that I am extremely
biased by my overwhelming adoration of S.C. and The Office. But I'm really
liking that Venus return/Venus-Sun conjunction in Leo for an acting award, and
even with the Sun on his Uranus, I feel like that could signify the positive
kind of upheaval that comes with winning a major award. Winner:
Steve Carell
