Celebrities - Sagittarius - You Can't Shoot People in the Knee Unless You Are Kiefer Sutherland!

Sagittarians as Celebrities do quite well;  for every Sagittarian is, in a way, blessed with the straight talking, high minded, discursive way of approaching all of life.   They also have this high-handed aspiration that if the stars are right, that all of them could be celebrities.   The celestial heights have got to have enough room!

Jon Stewart and Howie Mandel

When Jon Stewart the Comic blesses you with his comments about the world, can you imagine him any other way?  I mean doesn’t the bold brashness just seem to ooze out of him?  I have never met him, but the Sagittarian way of giving you a piece of their mind seems to waltz right in to any topic.  Howie Mandel, another wild Sagittarian will shake the mindsets of normal people as much as he is allowed.  His charm comes from his perpetual smile, but what he is actually saying can make you pause.

Steven Spielberg and Brad Pitt

Sagittarians have a way of challenging the status quo, and then declaring that they should be the new status quo.  Steven Spielberg did that with his movies, as he grabbed attention with artistic insistence, and then with success after success seemingly saying:   “Would you like to see what I have next?”

Brad Pitt, with the same birthday as Spielberg, grabbed the audience in the Thelma and Louise flick, and while the movie was blazing away as a feminist piece, Pitt, like a coy cherub declared in his limitless youth, “I’m one of those next male things!”

David Carradine

Talk about from “nothing to something”, the cool revolutionary  of Box Car Bertha, a low budget movie about rebels in the 30’s,  David Carradine,  shot to stardom in the early 1970s as the star of  Kung Fu (1972-75).   He played Kwai Chang Caine, a Shaolin priest on the run, wandering the American West of the late 1800s. Carradine suffered from this success, as this type-casting role ended;  he worked steadily,  but in low-budget movies.   Legend folds over on itself, and the Sagittarian returned when the cult status of Kung Fu led to greater attention  in the 1990s and 2000s, culminating in the wild and crazy Tarantino's Kill Bill movies (2003-04).

Kim Basinger and Bette Midler

Though Kim Basinger and Bette Midler might not seem to have much in common, they both have declared their uniqueness in their own ways.  Bette with her stunning vocal power and true schmaltzy way of delivering songs and lines has always been challenging what stardom is.  Kim was relegated to the beautiful category and through a series of outstanding successes walked the path to Oscar in 1997’s LA Confidential.   Both showing that they don’t want to be boxed in, the Sagittarian heart manifests by staying to its  own unique vision of itself.

Pappy Boyington and Kiefer Sutherland

Speaking of unlikely stars, Sagittarians are great at that.  Pappy Boyinton, a hero from World War II had his life played out on TV screens in the 70’s.  Robert Conrad played this role.   Gregory "Pappy" Boyington won the Congressional Medal of Honor in World War II, when as a Marine pilot he was credited with downing 28 Japanese aircraft. For three months in 1943-44 he led the so-called "Black Sheep Squadron," in the Solomon Islands.  During that time the squadron was credited with 97 confirmed kills.  Boyington's autobiography, a bestseller in 1958, was titled Baa Baa Black Sheep.

Kiefer Sutherland in his role as Jack Bauer on “24” is a perfect example of rebellious, trail-blazing Sagittarius at their best.  And perhaps his knee-shooting, strident, yelling style will make all you Sagittarians stop and think.  The context in which your glorious personality arises is key to your success and strength in life.  A Sagittarian failing is shooting someone in the knee when you are not Jack Bauer, and not on TV.  That’s a joke.   But guess what?  If you are a thinking Sag, you know exactly what I mean!
