First of all, I have never even heard of this show that Stockard Channing is on. I think the Emmy committee was so freaked by the prospect of West Wing and Friends going off the air that they just nominated all the same people for whatever shows they were on. But, surprisingly enough, with the Venus-Saturn conjunction in Leo passing over Stockard's natal Jupiter, I do like her odds of getting recognition for her work—for which, if my total lack of recognition of her work is any indication, she is long overdue.

Seriously, are any of these shows actually on the air anymore? I never really got into Malcolm in the Middle, even though for some reason I always felt like it was something I should have liked. Jane Kaczmarek seemed like the best part of the show, and with a couple of nice Jupiter conjunctions—the transiting Sun on her natal Jupiter and transiting Jupiter on her natal Mars—this might just be the Malcolm matriarch's moment.

Speaking of force-of-habit nominations, was it inverse hubris of Lisa Kudrow to try to make a comeback in a show about a pathetic actress trying to make a comeback? I never caught any of the short-lived series, but I do secretly watch Friends once in a while and hate myself for it almost as much as I hate Phoebe. (Damn, why did I just admit that? If only there were some sort of mechanism by which to delete things off the Internet....) Anyhoo, Lisa is the only nominated actress in this category for whom I have a birth time, and so we have the benefit of looking at house placements as well as transiting aspects to her natal chart. But with most transiting planets under the horizon of Lisa's horoscope, plus the Ascendant of the Emmys chart conjunct her South Node, the picture is looking rather grim. With the Sun conjunct her natal Uranus, transiting Uranus on her Chiron and transiting Neptune on her Saturn, I would strongly advise Lisa not to drink too much or otherwise self-medicate to deal with her loss, as she could be accident-prone now.

Unless I am misinformed, Julia Louis-Dreyfus' second attempt at a post-Seinfeld comeback is actually still on the air and doing well, so perhaps that will inspire Lisa in her future endeavors. Elaine, I mean Julia, has a very interesting reciprocal transit happening right now: transiting Venus on her natal Uranus and transiting Uranus on her natal Venus. This augurs a time of excitement and creative stimulation, and could certainly bring some unexpected luck into her life, for better or for worse. Relationship upheaval is also possible now; if Elaine, I mean Julia, doesn't win, she could end up leaving her husband and running off with a seat filler at the ceremony.

Debra Messing's odds are tough to call without knowing her exact time of birth. A default sunrise chart puts her Moon in the middle of Taurus, forming a grand cross with the transiting Venus/Saturn-Jupiter-Neptune T-square. But were she born late at night without the benefit of that aspect, she would not really have a lot going for her.

Forecast: This one is a really close race. Lisa Kudrow is the only one I'm inclined to rule out right off the bat. The aspects for Jane, Julia and Stockard all look promising, though Stockard's Saturn-Jupiter and Julia's Uranus-Venus could really go either way. Ultimately, though, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Grace has that grand cross going for her. While the G.C. is not traditionally the most benefic of configurations, the combo of Venus (worth) and Saturn (status) in Leo opposing Neptune in Aquarius (onscreen fantasies, the public), and squaring lucky Jupiter and Debra's Venus-ruled Taurus Moon seems to me to hit all the right notes for a win. Winner: Debra Messing
