lol! cool! i feel like im pretty good with accents myself i have lotsa cap stuff including merc; i should channel them to something comedic. IP: Logged |

A lot of comedy, whether it's light and silly or dark and cynical, comes from transgressing "appropriate" social boundaries. Like, to take the Chris Farley example - one of the funniest scenes in Tommy Boy is when he sets the guy's model cars on fire because you're not supposed to do that. Maybe if Capricorn bestows strong ideas of what social boundaries are, it makes Capricorn comedians especially good at sensing where it's funny to cross those boundaries? Just throwing that idea out. quote: Originally posted by amowls**:
Julia Louise Dreyfus (Elaine on Seinfeld) has a Cap Sun, Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus!!! She is SO talented, I can't believe I forgot her! She is really unique in her ability to do verbal comedy and physical comedy with equal quickness. Margaret Cho is another comedienne I really love - when she first came out she was absolutely blistering. Her early stand-up specials still make my stomach hurt laughing. And she was totally fearless about making jokes about painful areas of her life, as well as some hilariously blunt sex talk. Her chart is here - lots of Sagittarius and Libra, and her Moon is conjunct Lilith, which I think explains a lot of her "taboo" comedy. IP: Logged |

She's not a stand-up, but Betty White is a Capricorn Sun, Virgo Moon and Leo ASC. http://www.astro.com/astro-databank/White,_Betty  IP: Logged |

Whoa Cakes,when reading the title of the thread I was also instantly thinking of Robert Downey Jr. I find him extremely funny. Well, I think his DESC is conjunct my Moon and my Sag stellium is in his 5th house, which is probably why I really like his creative expression. IP: Logged |

I am a stand up comedian. I have benn telling jokes for six years now. Where I'm from we have a lot of earthy comics and one damn good Scorpio comedian. My two favorites here are both Capricorn comics. I also know two awesome Virgo comics too. The Taurus comics yere are into the weed. IP: Logged |

Damn. We're shooting in this area come June. Sure hope it doesn't start, like, raining frogs on set. THAT would be HELL to clean up. ------------------ Stargazing in Hollyweird, -AMP -- Karma's a b*tch. 'LACHESIS': a new transgressive urban fantasy series from Envision Dramatic Artists.

Woody Allen and Jerry Sienfeld both have Capricorn north node.Or maybe it's the Cancer south node that makes them funny?  IP: Logged |
