Dear Friend and Reader,
Last week, just before the final presidential debate, I posted Sarah Silverman’s latest video, The Great Schlep,В yet another example of her comedic genius. In it, she threatens to blame “the Jews” if Barack Obama isn’t elected, because elderly Jewish folk in Florida are not supporting his candidacy.В
This year, she won an Emmy for her music video, “I’m Fucking Matt Damon,” detailing her (fake) affair. Silverman premiered the video on Jimmy Kimmel Live, her then-boyfriend’s talk show.
She’s famous for more than a couple of online videos. Presently, she’s best known for The Sarah Silverman Program which first aired on Feb. 1, 2007, and is the type of show where you’re only comfortable laughing if there’s no one in the room to see you.В
What makes Sarah Silverman so funny and outlandish? I took a look at her natal chart to find out.
Born on Dec. 1, 1970 in Bedford, New Hampshire, Silverman is a Sagittarius with a Capricorn Moon.В Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, described by Jonathan Cainer as “the planet of hope,” which makes SagittariansВ buoyantВ and optimistic: if anything gets them down, they have a tendency to bob back up to the surface fairly easily. They don’t half-ass anything, and you can see this in Silverman’s irony-to-the-point-of insulting, bigoted or even gross humor. Her slapstick, poop and fart jokes, for example, are all Sagg.
