Taylor Swift - Sagittarius
With her Sagittarius Sun alone in the Second House of Music, a Cancer Moon Conjunct Jupiter Exalted and in its own House of travel and Mars in Scorpio, the indicator of Feminine Power and sexiness at the Ascendant, this is a powerhouse chart for a performer.
Adele - Taurus
With her Taurus Sun Conjunct Jupiter Adele is bigger than life. The deeply feminine Cancer Ascendant triggers the Sagittarius Moon Conjunct the Galactic center infusing her life with a spiritual message. Adele is the fourth artist in our series on musicians and the first born with the Sun in Taurus, the classic sign for singers.

Penelope Cruz & Javier Bardem
This married couple have both been nominated for Oscars in the 2022 awards cycyle. Taurus and Pisces with lots of connections between their charts
Kristen Stewart & Princess Diana
Kristen is the 8th actress (as far as we can tell) who has played Diana in a movie or series. From the outside she looks like an unlikely choice, an Aries who does action roles so well, playing a Cancer who was the epitome of the fertile woman. But when you look at the connections between their charts you see why this was an attractive role for the young actress, and the ways they spoke up for each other through their lives.
The Action Actors Series
Action Actors Overview
This is a quick survey of the 12 video portraits of actors that do action roles and what we learned along the way.
Keanu Reeves & Carrie Anne Moss
This Virgo and Leo Sun's act as polarities to each other, especially because Keanu's chart is so feminine and Carrie Ann has many masculine planets. It is a wonderful comparison between two actors who both do action roles, which has been are ongoing series. This is the last of the main series, although we may add some more into the collection later on.
Robert Downey Jr & Gyneth Paltrow
The markers we've seen in the actors that play action roles are present in these charts to a much smaller extent. And yet, the symbolism of having Downey, an Aries Sun, play Ironman, a metal Ruled by Mars is too hard to ignore. Then he is paired with Paltrow, a Libra very connected to Venus as his balance. It makes for a very interesting paired portrait of a make believe romance where the charts help make it believable.
Ryan Reynolds
This New Moon Scorpio with a Virgo Moon is a perfect example of an actor that thrives in action roles. We also look at the charts of people he is connected with professionally and personally, including Dwayne Johnson and Scarlet Johannsen. That's why the portrait is longer than usual.
Idris Elba
With his Virgo Sun, Leo Moon and Libra Rising he very much has the chart of an artist and actor, and that 12th House Sun is often seen in actors in the movies. But it's that Virgo Sun Conjunct both Mars and Pallas that makes him so good at Martial roles and earns him a place in our series about action actors.

Will Smith
WIth a Libra Sun, Gemini Rising and a Scorpio Moon he combines charm, wit and intensity and makes a perfect addition to our action series.
Jason Statham
We rectified his chart to produce a Scorpio Ascendant and an Aries Moon, to go with his Mars in Scorpio and his Leo Sun. This is a perfect example of an Action actress even though there are not many Leo Suns on the list.
Daniel Craig
With his Pisces Sun, Scorpio Rising and Moon and Mars in Aries he already qualifies to be in our series on action stars. But with that Pisces Sun connected to Jupiter at 29 degrees Leo, position of the Royal Star Regulus, how could he not stand out in his field? This is a wonderful portrait of a very deep actor with great personal resources that he draws on to create his roles.
Henry Cavill
With a Taurus Sun and an Aquarius Moon and Rising, Henry doesn't have a classic chart for an action star, until you look at that highly elevated Jupiter in Sagittarius conjunct Antares and his Venus in Gemini, aligned with the reincarnation nodes, then it starts to make sense. This is a fascinating and very revealing portrait of an artist.
Mark Ruffulo
A Scorpio Sun, Cancer Moon and a Sagittarius Ascendant, with numerous planets in Rulership, Detriment, Exaltation and Fall. Unique.
Liam Neeson
This Full Moon Gemini with Mars in Scorpio Retrograde in the 12th House was custom made for make believe violence, and a very long career. A wonderful portrait in comparison to many of the younger actors we've featured, including fellow Gemini Chis Evans.
Chris Evans Gemini
Chris was intended to be the start of actors that play action roles, but we've have done a number of charts of other people who need to be included in that, Bruce Lee, Dwayne Johnson and Sean Connery. So we will be organizing them differently.
Requests: Singer, Justice, Martial Artist, Actor
Stevie Nicks
With a Gemini Sun, Aries Ascendant and Moon in Capricorn highly elevated Stevie need to scale the heights on her own terms.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg
Pisces Sun and Rising and Scorpio Moon. a believer with a sharp mind that could get to the heart of the matter,
Bruce Lee, Martial Artist, Actor
WIth a Sag Sun and Rising and a Scorpio Moon with a Scorpio Stellium in the 12 house he was made for movies and the dojo.
Daniel Day Lewis
This includes a rectification of his birthtime, since it is not recorded, that would give him a Taurus Sun, Aries Moon and Capricorn Rising.
Intro to Action Role Actresses
Our introduction to the 16 part series of ‘super’ women, actresses that play in action roles, looking at how the Mercury and Mars ruled Signs predominate and yet Jupiter and Venus have their say. including Jessica Chastain, Gal Gadot, Helen Hunt, Zoe Saldana, Uma Thurman and more.
Action Role Actresses
Kate Winslet
This TRIPLE LIBRA is astrologically the antithesis of the typical charts of the women actresses that play action roles. Following Jessica Chastain's portrait, it would be hard to draw a more direct contrast.
Raquel Welch
This is part of our series on actresses who play action roles. Raquel was in a remarkable number of roles where she played very strong woman who took a commanding role, a model that was less common in that era. With the Virgo Sun and Scorpio Moon, that Mercury - Mars ruled planet pattern repeats again.
Jessica Chastain
Aries Sun, Gemini Moon, Scorpio Rising. This series began with Jessica because she is the classic case of a feminine power in the movies.
Intro to Action Role Actresses
Our introduction to a series of ‘super’ women, actresses that play in action roles, including Jessica Chastain, Gal Gadot, Helen Hunt, Zoe Saldana, Uma Thurman and more.
Gal Gadot
This Taurus Sun, Virgo Moon and Leo Ascendant is surprising, in the two distinct sides of her personality. While we tend to recognize here from Wonder Woman she has other aspects in her career. Look for the position of the Asteroid Pallas Athena, after all her name in WW is Athena, the Goddess of the Hunt.
Sigourney Weaver Libra
When the movie Alien appeared on the silver screen it created a new kind of hero, and through the subsequent series of movies Sigourney has continued to define the strength and intelligence of her character.

Mila Jovovich
This Sagittarius Sun, Gemini Moon and Cancer Rising action star is born with the Sun Conjunct the Galactic Center. A very powerful, yet facile personality that directors probably love, as Ralph explains in the portrait.
.jpg)
Nicole Kidman
This Gemini Sun and Sagittarius Moon all comes out through a Scorpio Ascendant, hence those intense eyes. A very interesting portrait about a surprisingly complex person.
.jpg)
Coming Jeniifer Garner
Aries Sun, Cancer Rising, Gemini Moon. This is the chart of person made to play action roles.
Coming Zoe Saldana
Gemini Sun, Leo Rising, Sagitattarius Moon, This actress stretches the category to make it work for her.
Helen Hunt
With a Gemini Sun, Aries Moon and Virgo Rising with a Stellium in Virgo, Helen Hunt has the perfect chart for an action actress. With Vesta Rising she has a strong sense of mission, but that Moon in Aries in a powerful 8th house is a challenging position for a woman. But Gemini is better at handling that than most other Signs.
Uma Thurman
While her Sun in Taurus is not classic for playing action roles. But the Mercury Ruled Virgo Rising, and the Aquarius Moon, the Sing of Mercury's Exaltation speaks to that potential. Plus she has Venus and Mars in Mercury Ruled Gemini, and Jupiter in Mars Ruled Scorpio in the Mercury Ruled Third House. Taken together it is clear that she has a potential for playing these types of roles that the success of the Kill Bill series testifies to.
Scarlett Joahnnson
Sag Sun and Rising and a Scorpio Moon with an Aquarius Mars.
Zendaya
Virgo Sun, Taurus Moon, Aquarius Rising, she is a crossover between the classic and the action actress.
Margo Robbie
Cancer Sun, Scorpio Moon, Cancer Rising. Behind that lovely exterior is a deeply Martial soul that thrives in action roles.
Angelina Jolie
Gemini Sun, Aries Moon, Cancer Rising. An astress that in some ways is the quintessential action actress.
Scarlet Johannson
This Sagittarius Sun Sagittarius Ascendant and Scorpio Moon actress fits in perfectly with our multi part series on women actresses that play often in action roles.
Coming Kristen Stewart
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, conse ctetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore.

This is Ralph's final thought on the series, what he learned and what it measns.

Creative Men

Coming Robin Williams
With his Sun, Mars and Uranus in Cancer, a Pisces Moon and Scorpio Rising this chart is a water powerhouse with great emotional depth. The Mars conjunct the Uranus and Vesta supercharged his physical energy, and the Mercury in Leo shows the love of entertainment.
Malcom Gladwell Virgo
This talented Virgo reporter and writer has a wonderful chart for investigating subjects and people, from an alternate point of view. Born at the Full Moon with Venus and Uranus Conjunct his Sun and Chiron Conjunct his Moon, we would have to expect the unusual and the profound, all mixed with Virgo charm.
.jpg)
Jeff Bezos Capricorn
This is one of those charts that shows the person living their life out in the open. It shows a unique combination of skills that he has put to good use. It includes an interesting insight to the Capricorn energy that Bezos embodies.
.jpg)
Paolo Coelho Virgo
With the Sun in Virgo, Moon in Sagittarius and Taurus Rising, and three strong Star Connections, this is the quintessential artist's chart. Ralph explains how these dynamics play out in this talented and prolific artist's life.
Famous People Born in Cancer
Amazon
Amazon has become such a pervasive force in our world today that it is no surprise that its Sun position is Conjunct that of the USA, conjunct the Star Sirius, and it just gets more interesting from there.
Meryl Streep
With her Cancer Sun, Taurus Moon and Leo Ascendant she is the quintessential artist, that speaks directly to the American ethos. There is tremendous leverage in this chart and this is a perfect expression of the Bucket configuration with Jupiter as the handle. The Fixed Stars also play a role in her chart.
Tom Hanks
Cancer Sun, Leo Moon & Jupiter at Regulus in Virgo Rising, a perfect chart for an American actor.
.jpg)
Dan Brown, Cancer Sun, Sagittarius Moon
As one of America's most successful suspense writers, there is a great deal known about Dan Brown's life, except his birth time. So, part of this portrait is a rectification to determine when he was born, or more importantly, what his Ascendant is? This portrait is another that Ralph came up with after taking Dan Brown's Master Class. It is not surprising that after watching four hours of video, and knowing the rest of the chart, that an astrologer would be able to set an approximate time. But it's fun to watch!
Unintended Consequences in 4 Parts
When places were established before the Planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were discovered, or an active part of the human consciousness, how did those planets influence their future expression? Here are four wonderful examples of unintended consequences!
San Francisco - Aries
When San Francisco was incorporated most people were not aware of the 'invisible' planets, those that can only be seen with a telescope, and yet over time these bodies would have an influence on the city. This is part 4 in this series that looks at how Uranus, Neptune and Pluto figured in the charts of well-known places. San Francisco is a perfect example of this phenomenon.
California - Virgo
In some ways this is such an unlikely chart for a state, with its Virgo Sun and Scorpio Moon. Only the Sagittarius Ascendant makes much sense. But when we look at the hidden planets, those that had only been recently discovered, after thousands of years of astronomical searching, the true significance of the chart becomes evident.
Napa CA - Aries
This Aries Sun and Virgo Moon is the quintessesntial Calfornia town. But once again, the issues of unintended consequnces makes for an interesting interpretation.
Washington DC - Cancer
Considering how much has been happening in the nation's Capitol, we thought a portrait of Washington DC would be helpful in this Astrology Portrait from Planetary Calendar. It is a case of unintended consequences!
Actors, Comedian & Directors
Halle Berry - Leo
Halle Berry, with her Leo Sun & Moon and Taurus Moon, has all of her planets beneath the horizon showing great depths to her nature. Loved working with her photos.
Kevin Hart - Cancer
Kevin is born in Philadelphia in with a Cancer Sun at 13 degrees, the same degree as the United States of America. With his Sagittarius Moon and Saturn Rising in Virgo, he is the quintessential American. Of course his Mars in Gemini shows that quick wit, but Venus leading the Sun shows an inherent charm. Like many Cancerians, there is a loving person behind that crusty exterior.
Jodie Foster - Scorpio
With her Scorpio Sun, Virgo Moon and Sagittarius Rising Trine that Mars in Leo in the ninth House, she appears confident and optimistic, even though she never thinks that it is good enough. This was a fun portrait to do especially since Ralph is taking her master class on Directing, and it is more fun when you know the teacher’s chart!
Ron Howard - Pisces
This talented Pisces Actor and Director with Aries Rising, and a Capricorn Moon has lived much of his life in the public's eye, but his energy and optimism has seen him through. A very interesting portrait with amazing similarities to Scorpio Sun Jodie Foster, whose portrait is coming next week.
Popular Actors
George Clooney - Taurus
This Taurus Sun Capricorn Moon actor director is filtered through a Pisces Ascendant that allows him to see the bigger picture that these normally practical Signs would normally focus on.
Brad Pitt - Sagittarius
With his Sagittarius Sun and Ascendant, Trine his Jupiter in Aries, coupled with his Stellium in Capricorn, this is volcanic energy in Brad Pitt that lives beneath the surface. Having his Sun conjunct the Galactic Center is just one more place where his chart makes a statement.
Rene Zellweger - Taurus
This Taurus with Virgo Rising, and a Leo Moon Trine an Aries Venus and Sagittarius Mars is all Earth and Fire, which may explain why she is like a volcano Goddess, always ready to erupt. Like many artists that we have profiled, she has the nodal axis at the ascendant descendant, showing that easy personal access to reincarnation experiences, a wealth of personalities that she can draw upon for her characters. A wonderful actress and the portrait features some great photos.
Dwayne Johnson - Taurus
Considering what a powerful person Dwayne is, one is surprised how many of his planets are ruled by Venus, Mercury and Saturn, but that is what makes him such a graceful, yet disciplined performer. With his Taurus Sun, Libra Rising and Capricorn Moon, filled out by three planets in Gemini, his ability to work easily with other people is a true talent. This look inside his chart is a true surprise.
The Political World
Jill Biden - Gemini
Jill Biden is a double Gemini, Sun, Moon, Mars and Vesta. We are guessing that she has a Libra Rising, although it could also be a Leo Rising, it all depends on where that Jupiter in Aries lands.
Joe Biden - Scorpio Stellium
This is really our 3rd look at Biden’s Chart. We 1st compared it to Pres Polk with whom he has much in common. Then with Jill Biden’s, and now just at his, a very powerful expression of Scorpio, the greatest of managers.
The Capitol Assault & Certification
This was such a bizarre event that we did a special astro portrait looking at the transits using the Noon chart for the USA, that we find produces an accurate picture of the events.
.jpg)
Kamala Harris
This Full Moon Libran has a chart that was made for being an advocate an lawmaker, but she also posseses great humanity and an ability to see the other person's point of view. It is rare when we see a chart that has such a strong sense of 'fate', but is it really surprising when it shows up in our first Woman Vice President?
Musicians and Comedians
James Taylor
This seventh House Pisces with an Aries Moon and Virgo Ascendant often deals with conflicting drives. The Jupiter in Sagittarius in the Fourth House Square his partner loving seventh House Sun shows how his love of travel and tendency to move and make his home on the road can challenge his need for a solid relationship.
Stephen Colbert
With his Taurus Sun, Gemini Moon and Sagittarius Ascendant a quick wit is always there just beneath the surface. Like Jimmy Fallon, the western focus of the chart shows his interest in other people which makes him a wonderful interviewer. That Gemini Moon in the Seventh house shows the closeness of his partnership with his wife, Evelyn.

Jimmy Fallon
A very talented comedian and host with a Virgo Sun, Scorpio Moon and Pisces Rising. With so many of his planets located introvert positions its clear why he makes such a good interviewer, a great sensitivity to other people.
Sara Bareilles, Singer Songwriter
With a Sagittarius Sun, Leo Moon and Capricorn Ascendant this is a person who turns her dreams into reality through hard work and determination. This California born artist has become a champion for working women most obviously through her score for the Play Waitress, in which she also starred.
