Do you have an actor's chart?

They didn't take nearly enough charts into consideration, but still, it's an interesting read.

----

Acting talent is a rare gift and you may say that it represents a multi-dimensional art. In the first place, there is a talent for psychology, that is crucial for —entering a character??, represented by the presence of Scorpio in the natal chart. Then, sophisticated sensitivity that allows empathy and the sense for nuances, represented by Water signs, unavoidable sense for drama, represented by Leo which is crucial and denotes very rare dramatization gift as well as the ability of performance and stage act. Non-the-less important is the need for play and vividness, ability of transformation-all in the symbolism of Gemini along with the Uranian dynamics of the need for experimentation, exhibitionism and versatility.

The presence of Mutable signs is of the extreme importance due to the very nature of transition from character to character that are being performed with easiness and without deeper consequence. Of course, Neptunian illusion, the supreme skill of illusionism and the magic of creating the character on the scene are unavoidable moments in the horoscopes of great actors. They are all children of Jupiter, WINED by Venus with unavoidably strong Saturnian sense for reality and sobriety of an objective observer. All of that makes a good actor.

Further ahead, we conveyed a little research on a sample of thirty-some worldly most popular actors and actresses and as a result we got all mentioned above as present in their horoscopes. By systematization we derived following conclusions.

I — Planets in Gemini and Leo — In the first place there is a well known characteristic common to all the artists that find their expression in acting and that is a need for play, fun and new knowledge all in the symbolism of Gemini, what most of books suggest is the most needed characteristics in order that individual let oneself into the area. Versatility, vividness, curiosity, variability, role playing and easiness of transformation are descriptions of this sign. Of course, along with the planets in Leo, that describe that formal aspect of the profession, and that is the art of dramatization, stage act, inclination to being exposed and joy of it, as well as the need for fun and self-exposure.

II — Water signs particularly Pisces, Scorpio — The presence of the Water signs is particularly important for the qualitative reasons that imply to sophisticated sensibility, sensitivity and compassion, i.e. empathy as one of the most important conditions in order that an actor create and perform a role successfully. Emotions are the way of reaching wisdom since Pisces endorse individuals with great understanding, fantastic sensibility and very often hyper-sensibility that is capable of sensing and recognizing the finest nuances of the personality. In order to completely —feel?? the presupposed character, an individual has to have planets in the Water signs. Scorpio describes emphasized sensibility but also implies a phenomenal talent for the psychological insight into characters and personalities which makes many of them actors and actresses of the supreme quality.

III — Strong Neptune, aspects with Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars over the 10th, 5th, 2nd, 7th house — Similar to the planets in Pisces, Neptune implies to the supreme sensibility, talents, that fine glaze in shaping the character, flexibility and softness of approach, as well as immense imagination. Strong Neptune is directly denoting high vibrations of perception and sophisticated quality of emotions and dreams, unavoidable in mentioned fields, especially in the horoscopes of movie stars. All is there, a touch of idealism, fancy and imagination to grasp the metaphysics of all the characters and perform the authenticity of reality of the given characters thus providing magic. All is under authority of Neptune itself, tuning in, the perfect lie, materialized illusion in the function of truth. Apart from that, Neptunian is the big screen.

IV — Planets in Aquarius, Uranus in aspect with Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars — Notably, the unavoidable element in horoscopes of all the actors, due to the involvement of media, due to already mentioned urge for experimentation, exhibitionism and dynamics, that are essentially the embodiment of the call. The Mutable signs also denote the flexibility of the individual and ability to switch characters with easiness, which altogether describes the actor as a personality that strives for a change, new experiences, innovations and discoveries. It is very often the sign of ingenious mind. Additionally, Aquarius and Uranus provide a sense of originality and authenticity, so that, high profile actors are very unique individuals capable of interpreting characters in an original way thus attaching that special color in the embodiment of the imaginary character, showing their particular individualism, which makes them superstars in the first place. It is a matter of freedom, that special idiosyncrasy of the poetic mind in one's perception of the given character and the performance of their reality. It is important that Aquarius and Uranus provide a sort of flying through the serial of roles and personalities as a form of personal exhibitionism, with no real attachment, but easiness of experimentation and play. The accent is on a research of one's own individuality and demonstration of one's own personal seal that provides the outline of the role character.

V — Jupiter in aspect with Sun, Moon over the 6th, 10th — The role of Jupiter in horoscopes of celebrities is pretty much clear since Jupiter stands for famous people and most certainly plays the key role. In order to achieve the success in public and have the reputation of a celebrity, one needs to perform the utmost quality on the spiritual level in the first place. Spirituality, nobility, grace, ethics and morality has to be on a super-high level in order to become eligible to be gracious. Fame considers the existence of a role model, a figure masses can look up to in their quest for self-improvement and spirituality. The basic concept is entirely Jupiterian representing high level of consciousness basically. Astrologically, Jupiter on M.C. is called —the royal Jupiter?? for a good reason, or in conjunction with the Lights, makes them great people apart from being great artists.

VI — Strong Venus in aspect with the Ascendant, Sun, Moon, Mars over the 6th, the 10th - The planet of beauty, grace and art logically strong in the horoscopes of great actors. Venus doesn't need a lot of explanation since the planet of love and esthetics bestows great men with great sensibility, emotional perceptiveness and emotional intelligence so that they are able to feel and sympathize in the process of creating a character; non-the-less oriented to love as a state of mind and that special higher aspiration marked with dedication to beauty and art.

VII — Strong III house, Strong Saturn, planets in Capricorn, Virgo —
In order that the complete scene act and acting itself be convincing and realistic, the important thing is reality frame, great actor has to have, meaning that there has to be a objective, critical attitude towards the undertaken role, when earthly elements of Capricorn and Virgo are emphasized, as the capability of grasping the realism of some particular state of mind. That is the matter of being great mind and great actor at the same time.

What is also very noticeable in the horoscopes of great actors and actresses as well as many other celebrities is the ruler of the 7th in conjunction with Sun, the ruler of M.C. in the 7th and similar that the majority of the examined have. Also, typical —actor??s Saturn?? is Saturn in the12th that represents the character that is deep hidden inside in the reality of —deeper shade?? of a character, meaning that they are closed enough to preserve themselves, at the same time performing various exhibitions of their outer playful personality.

Great post. I'm not an actor, but I have a couple of these aspects. I have noticed that many actors have that heavy Neptune.

^^^^ yes, I checked a few and found always something with Neptune (often aspected with Mercury).

I — ... Gemini and Leo
II — Water signs ...
III — Strong Neptune aspects
IV — Planets in Aquarius, Uranus in aspect ...
V — Jupiter in aspect with Sun, Moon over the 6th, 10th
VI — Strong Venus in aspect...
VII — Strong III house, Strong Saturn, planets in Capricorn, Virgo

Will this ^^^^ not cover almost the whole man kind?

Something that always bothers me with Astrology is that their filters are no real filter. They fill every hole with a planet, house or aspect so it would match everybody.

Exactly. I've given that some thought before. It's why I'll probably never bring myself to take astrology too seriously (as accurate as it sometimes proves to be) and make decisions based on it.

^cud have interpreted that wrong. it's jupiter in aspect to sun and moon... IN the 6th and 10th houses.

Yeah I think they mean either Sun, Moon or Jupiter in 6th and 10th but they have to aspect each other.

Gemini Mercury. Leo Mars.
Cancer ASC/Pisces MC. Scorpio #2 dominant sign.
Neptune singleton. Sun trine Neptune in 7th.
Moon and Uranus in Aquarius. Sun trine Uranus. Venus square Uranus.
Moon sextile Jupiter in 6th.
Venus in Taurus. Venus sextile ASC. Venus trine Mars. don't have the houses.
3rd house Mars. not the strongest 3rd. Saturn in 10th though. Neptune in Cap.

I have been a stage actress since I was a child. My mother (leo) was an actress. Stage mostly but also played a role on tv for a couple seasons.

Interesting post.

I have 6 planets in the 5th house. I used to do a bit of acting years ago. I did sign up for acting classes for my birthday. I am highly creative and I think the classes with help me loosen this icy venus in cap/mooin in scorp exterior.

I — Planets in Gemini and Leo — I have leo mars and im a second decan aries (sun ruled leo)
II — Water signs particularly Pisces, Scorpio — I have cancer moon/midheaven and venus pisces also saturn pisces
III — Strong Neptune, aspects with Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars over the 10th, 5th, 2nd, 7th house — (i dont see any strong neptunes aspects that besides uranus conj neptune and moon opposite neptune so number 3 i dont got)
IV — Planets in Aquarius, Uranus in aspect with Sun, Moon, Venus, Mars — I have uranus in aqua and moon opposition uranus.

V — Jupiter in aspect with Sun, Moon over the 6th, 10th — Sun trine jupiter and moon in the 10th house

VII — Strong III house, Strong Saturn, planets in Capricorn, Virgo —
Venus conj saturn, neptune in capricorn, also mentions strong sun in 7th house( i have sun in 7th house with mercury)

So i guess im missing a few of them, i thought i had all of them but had to recheck my chart ha. Jupiter in aspect with Sun, Moon over the 6th, 10th — i have jupiter trine sun but only 3rd/7th house. My moon is in the 10th house though.
VI — Strong Venus in aspect with the Ascendant, Sun, Moon, Mars over the 6th, the 10th - Dont have apparently

Tons of great actors have/had Leo Mars or 5th house Mars. It's a great placement for actors.

Cool. When I first took up acting classes I've met a lot of people who took them up not with the intention of becoming actors, but to "open up", "loosen up"... to boost their confidence and so. It's a great way of getting to know yourself. :]

It's a great placement for actors."

and politicians?

Leo Maaaaaaaaaaaaaarzz!!

Yeah and Venus 😛

We need a stage! lol too much of a need for expression.

Besides my Leo planets, I think my prominent Neptune also makes it easy to "put myself in someone elses shoes" and feeling their emotions, saying what they would say.

Neptune in the 3rd house
Merc square Neptune
Moon square Neptune
Venus trine Neptune

The energy asks to be released in creative ways. It also needs physical activity. And our whole being must be in it. Theatre absolutely fulfills the needs of a Martian Leo.

Boom, you're an 11th house Sun like me. Group activities are a theme in our lives. Theatre is very much a group thing.

Yeh, not only are they themes in our lives, our sense of ego (Sun) is unequivocally intertwined with belonging to a group (11th house), we kind of feel a little lost when we are not being part of something bigger than ourselves, usually humanitarian or progressive in any way.

my moon and venus are also in the 11th house! (Mercury is kind of knocking on the door of the 12th but still feels 11th)

Group activities are my destiny

put your money where your mouth is, show us your astro DNA 🙂

I was talking to my imaginary friend, actually

Probably because the poor Sun finds itself in a house opposite of it's home one. While the Sun wants to be all about self, in our case it's forced to manifest whatever it's got in large groups and organizations. Being a part of something bigger, definitely. It has it's good and bad sides. 😛

I agree

I'm an aquarian with a scorpio moon therefore I must act!!!

I auditioned for a part in the Anything Goes musical last week I nailed the singing bit and the dancing, when the acting bit came up I nailed it too because I'm really good with accents every single guy who was auditioning for bobby couldn't do a spanish accent and all followed the first guy who auditioned who did an italian accent lol....Anyways I ended up getting a dancing sailor part which is cool considering I like dancing and I like wearing sexy sailor outfits but I love reading lines more!!!! And it frustrates the shit out of me when a bad actor gets a part before me because he's white and suits the role when I can do accents perfectly I can even talk like a white person from the 1930s I'm that fucking good!! lol 😛

I used to think that being really good at accents = acting. I couldn't have been more wrong. Not that it's not a fine bonus, but that alone won't get you far in the acting world. Of course as a future actor, the more stuff you know, the better. You should know how to dance and even sing if you can, how to hold a cigarette, how to tie your tie, how to play an instrument, how to hold a cup of coffee.. Little things that seem so trivial. The more stupid little things you know, more chances you've got. Actors are multitalented people, more often than not.

I remember when I started off for real. You pass the test, you think you're all that and than you realize that you don't know how to stand, walk or talk. You feel like a little baby. Than you slowly start to realize just to what length your body and voice can go. You start looking at your body as an instrument. It's an amazing realization. But now I'm just rambling.
