George Clooney is now 63, and after his first attempt at building a family back in 1989, he divorced after 4 years.
Since then, he had declared, "I was married, so I gave it a shot. I wasn’t very good at it." He also said, “Marriage? Who needs it? I’m doing just fine with the way things are.”
While he had regular relationships, there wasn’t even a hint of seriousness.
So how did Amal turn Clooney’s life upside down, introducing him not only to the joys of married life but also fatherhood?
It’s the perfect time to take a look at his chart!
I think it's clear at first glance, although conclusions should still be made after a detailed analysis.
As you know, there is a static promise in the horoscope — the positions and combinations we see in the chart — and a dynamic one, the influence of periods on which positions are activated and when.
Quickly stepping aside from the topic — just look at the magnificent exalted Venus in the 2nd house of wealth accumulation! It’s exactly what brought countless opportunities into Clooney's life.
You know what's even more interesting?
He hasn’t lived through the Venus period itself; he’s been receiving multiple benefits during Venus sub-periods. The actual Venus period will begin for him in 2057 — when George will be turning 96. So, his $500 million fortune is far from the limit!

But today we are talking about Clooney’s family life.
First, we need to look at the 7th house, where Rahu is located. Rahu, primarily known as a malefic planet, is problematic in itself. Moreover, Rahu signifies karmic tasks, and its presence in the 7th house indicates that the person has come here to learn how to build relationships, which doesn’t come easily to them.
The significator of relationships is Venus, and although we just discussed its magnificence, we cannot ignore the adverse aspect of Saturn from the 12th house, which always results in challenges in the realm of love.
We must also note the afflicted Jupiter, which is debilitated in the 12th house, alongside Saturn and under the aspect of Mars.
Why is this important? Jupiter governs our moral principles and our ability to adhere to them. Affliction here can lead to tendencies toward infidelity and a reluctance to take responsibility for the family.
Overall, the playboy archetype is clearly evident, but what happened? How did he suddenly change so unexpectedly?
The answers lie in the periods, as always.
The period of Rahu lasted from 1980 to 1998. During this time, George Clooney experienced a breakthrough in his career and a rapid rise in the film industry, making him a highly desirable man.
As you recall, he married in 1989. However, in 1991-1992, he entered a sub-period of Ketu. For context, Rahu-Ketu periods are the most karmic moments in a person's life, prompting deep reflection. While we don’t know the exact details, it seems that George was so unsettled by this period that he not only divorced within a year but also decided never to marry again.
This doesn’t necessarily mean the relationship was bad or destructive. It’s often about internal transformation and personal growth, which can be challenging, especially when the reasons behind changes are unclear.
We can conclude that Clooney faced a significant challenge during this critical transformational moment, and he struggled with it quite seriously.
Next comes the period of the afflicted Jupiter. Despite the afflictions, it activates numerous success combinations. Fame and wealth continue to grow, but so do the romances.
In 2012, the Rahu sub-period begins, offering a new opportunity to reassess his life principles and fulfill his karmic task. In 2013, he meets Amal, and in 2014, he gets married. Mission accomplished!
But getting married is just the beginning; one must also nurture and deepen the relationship.
What’s the secret? How does a marriage continue for 10 years despite the challenges in the realm of relationships?
Just a few months after the wedding, the period shifts to Saturn. Saturn is positioned uniquely in Clooney's chart. On one hand, it is still in the 12th house and under the aspect of Mars, which is clearly not very favorable. On the other hand, Saturn is in its own sign, meaning it protects its house and receives positive influences from Jupiter and the Moon.
Such a position can be quite detrimental if not handled correctly. The main lesson here is about serving others. If George Clooney had chosen to continue living an egoistic lifestyle, he would have faced significant challenges.
The bright activation of the 1st house by Saturn played a positive role here, especially with Aquarius in the 1st house and Ketu also present. For someone with such a combination, the concept of service becomes very clear. This often happens when a period changes — one wakes up one morning and suddenly feels as though they've recalled their past life.
Family, especially children, represents a complete form of service. This desire seemed to come naturally, though it was actually a result of the period change. And this happened at the age of 53!
In maintaining a marriage, shared values play a crucial role. For Clooney, as an Aquarius rising, caring for the world, particularly the marginalized, rejected, and disadvantaged, is very important. Meanwhile, Amal is an international human rights lawyer, which aligns perfectly with these values.
Nevertheless, Saturn still afflicts Venus. Therefore, it is quite possible that not everything is as smooth as it appears to the public. For Clooney himself, family life is likely not always easy on a moral level.
The duration of their union will depend on the wisdom of both partners, what they are willing to overlook, and how their shared goals of "saving the world" unite them. I wouldn’t rule out the possibility of challenges arising as they age; it will depend on how Amal responds to such issues.
In any case, I sincerely wish the couple happiness and hope that they navigate their difficulties with mutual respect and deep wisdom.
