Julie Bowen

Of her ten planets, three sit in earth signs, three in water, two in fire and two in air. Earth builds and water registers, and nothing here is scarce enough to leave a gap. Bowen is an American actress and the record names Modern Family, which is an ensemble comedy and therefore a format where the laughs are shared out rather than carried.

The Sun sits at thirteen degrees of Pisces with Venus further along the same sign, and the Moon answers from Capricorn. Pisces takes on whatever is in the room and keeps no edge of its own; Capricorn works to a plan and counts what it costs. A comic part played straight inside a large cast needs the Pisces half to absorb everybody else's timing and the Capricorn Moon to keep turning up for the whole of a long run.

Mercury stands awkwardly against Pluto seven hundredths of a degree off exact, as tight as the arithmetic puts a pair, and the Sun sits in mild friction with Mars at eleven hundredths. A yod holds Mercury, Mars and Pluto and does not resolve, so speech and drive keep pointing at concentrated force without settling. Jupiter sits directly opposite Saturn at seven tenths, and four of the ten planets were retrograde, all of them slow. In a comic actress, speech and drive pointing at force without ever landing on it is the restlessness a straight delivery is built on.

Jupiter came the whole way round to its Scorpio starting point on 6 November 2017, at forty seven, in reverse as it was originally. Scorpio treats the surface of a thing as the least interesting part of it, so the measure becomes what the work took rather than what it looked like, and three laps precede it. The series the record names ran across most of the most recent lap. A chart with no element dominant and a yod on speech and drive is an unshowy arrangement, which is the right equipment for comedy played as though none of it were funny.
