The Astrology of Fame: What Shared Traits Tie Together Today’s Top Actors ?

Since there are so many actors and so many different genres, I'm going to divide this post in two: the most common placements found across lots of birth charts I've studied and divided according to genre, for example, placements most likely to play in a horror film or a romantic hero in a romcom.

My Process

We are going to look at the 10th house (the house of career), the 2nd house (rules over wealth) and the 5th house, since it rules over pleasure and movies were first and mostly made with the intention of entertainment.

The planets are Mercury (rules over all forms of communication, which is essential to acting), the Moon (since it related to the ability an artist possesses to transmit emotions to the public) and Venus (governs all forms of pleasure and entertainment)

Guide

Every planet rules over the zodiac sign. I use the traditional system so:

sun = leo

venus = taurus, libra

mercury = gemini, virgo

mars = aries, scorpio

jupiter = sagittarius, pisces

saturn = Aquarius, Capricorn

Placements

Common Placements of Actors

Leo rising/mc (considering the sun governs fame and renown, being a Leo rising means you embody the energy of the sun)

2nd/10th/MC house's lord in the 5th house

5th house's lord in 10th house

planets, especially the sun, in 22º, 29º degrees (these are critical degrees and often are in the birth chart of people of great renowned)

connection between moon and mercury (ex: moon in virgo, that is ruled by mercury, and mercury in cancer)

north node in Leo (someone's disposition to fame or popularity)

2nd house in Leo or it's lord in Leo

chart ruler in Leo, 5th house or in 29º degrees

note: cinema is a moving industry with different styles and messages so it's hard to find a pattern.

Across Different Genres

The Romantic Hero

chart I've analysed: Emma Watson, Heath Ledger, Andrew Garfield, Dev Patel, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Jennifer Aniston, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Grant, Ryan Gosling, Paul Rudd, Julia robberts

I've definitely noticed a mix of Pisces, Scorpio, Libra, Aries and Sagittarius.

pisces rising, moon or Venus or in pisces degrees (12º,24º) = (pisces rules over the fantasy of love, in the sense that sweeps you off your feet, the type of love that is dreamed. As so it does make sense the actors who portray these roles have these placements. It is worth mentioning that Venus is exalted in pisces)

chart ruler in libra or scorpio = (scorpio rules over intensity and intimacy,)

libra rising, moon, sun, venus or mercury or in those degrees (7º, 19º) = (libra governs over partnerships and marriages, since it is ruled by Venus, the planet of love.)

chart ruler being Jupiter or Venus

Scorpio sun, Moon, Venus, mercury (I've found this placement in so many birth charts weirdly, like Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Ryan Reynolds)

I also have noticed placements in virgo and Leo (especially Leo moon)

note: I will post the rest tomorrow or the day after. any posts you want to see or something else? thanks for reading <3

TV: Skins (2007-2013)

Pocas series enfocadas en el mundo adolescente han dejado un legado tan imperecedero como el de esta joya británica. A diferencia de otros exponentes más actuales, el drama, la comedia, el desparpajo e incluso cierto sentido de inocencia recorren los 61 capítulos, repartidos entre siete temporadas, de esa gran serie emitida por la señal E4 entre 2007 y 2013. Titulada "Skins" ("Pieles"), esta producción de Bryan Elsey y Jamie Brittain tuvo su remake americana emitida por MTV en 2011 con pobres resultados: duró sólo una temporada.

La trama se centra en un grupo de jóvenes de Bristol, al sudoeste inglés, Dada su extensión es obvio suponer que sus personajes principales eventualmente madurarían y continuarían sus historias fuera de foco, siendo reemplazados por otros tantos. La primera tanda, conocida como "primera generación", estuvo constituida por actores de dispar fama: Nicholas Hoult (Tony Stonem), Joe Dempsie (Chris Miles), Hannah Murray (Cassie Ainsworth), Mike Bailey (Sid Jenkins), Larissa Wilson (Jal Fazer), April Pearson (Michelle Richardson), Dev Patel (Anwar Kharral), Aimee-Ffion Edwards (Lucy Sketch) y Mitch Hewer (Maxxie Oliver). Posteriormente, el foco se centraría en Kaya Scodelario (Effy Stonem), Jack O´Connell (James Cook), Luke Pasqualino (Freddie McClair), Dakota Blue Richards (Franky Fitzgerald) o el cantante Ollie Alexander (Jakob).

Como suele suceder en proyectos vinculados a la adolescencia, "Skins" trató problemáticas tan variadas como la depresión, la ansiedad, los desórdenes alimentarios, el suicidio, el bullying, el abuso de sustancias, las familias disfuncionales, el trastorno bipolar y, claro, el ejercicio de la sexualidad, incluyendo la homosexualidad.

A continuación, una breve pincelada por algunos de los personajes LGBTQ+ más representativos de la serie:

El arco de Maxxie Oliver abarca las primeras dos temporadas. Es un muchacho carismático, talentoso para el baile (en especial, el tap), gran amigo de Anwar (a pesar de su origen musulmán) y con una vasta experiencia sexual.

Cassie Ainsworth es otro de los personajes esenciales de la serie, participando en las primeras dos temporadas. Allí encarna el rostro de los adolescentes afectados por enfermedades mentales, ya que padece anorexia nerviosa, problemas de baja autoestima y pensamientos suicidas, además de su paso por la adicción a drogas. En el listado positivo, es inteligente, excéntrica y divertida mientras que su extenso listado amoroso, de sexo indistinto, incluye a Sid Jenkins.

Tea Marvelli (Sofia Black D'elia) aparece sólo en la temporada inicial, adonde se destaca su origen italiano y su personalidad abierta, desprejuiciada y, hay de decirlo, altanera. Ya en el episodio dedicado a ella ("Tea", el segundo capítulo) se la ve teniendo relaciones con una chica que ya tiene novio. Aunque no suele tener intimidad con chicos, su presencia deja prendado a Tony.

La efímera historia de Sophia Morton (Amberley Gridley) destaca por la tragedia, ya que muere tras caer del techo del club nocturno en el que trabaja Thomas (Merveille Lukeba), uno de los protagonistas del nuevo grupo. Su deceso, acaecido al principio de la cuarta temporada, complica la situación de Thomas debido a que Morton, que era lesbiana y había tenido un encuentro amoroso con Naomi Campbell, estaba drogada al momento de su caída.

Idealista, y apasionada por la política, Naomi Campbell (Lily Loveless) también sufre un triste destino tras su paso en la tercera, la cuarta y la séptima temporada. Ya sabemos que tuvo un affair con la infortunada Sophia Morton, pero, además, gozó de una relación más seria con Emily Fitch.

Mini McGuinness (Freya Mavor) es la siguiente dama de la lista. Presente en la quinta y la sexta temporada, su declarada dulzura sólo es aparente: tras su amena fachada se esconde una chica ambiciosa cuyos intereses recae en el "shopping, el calzado, el sushi y el sexo". Así y todo, esta chica que ha tenido un flechazo con su amiga Frank Fitzgerald, también ha conocido las mieles de la maternidad merced a su relación con Alo Creevey (Will Merrick).

Alex Henley (Sam Jackson), aparecido en la sexta temporada, es un gay abierto, orgulloso y, al parecer, también algo promiscuo, pero también es una figura esencial que ayuda al grupo de chicos que acaba de conocer a lidiar con la pérdida de Grace Blood (Jessica Sula), una de ellos.

Personaje secundario (pero importante) de la quinta y la sexta temporada, Rider (Daniel Black) disfruta de una gran actividad sexual con chicas y de antagonizar con el grupo protagonista. No obstante, se da por supuesto que es, al menos, bisexual: tal idea se deduce de la serie especial "Skins: Lock-In. Whore Wars", en la que su personaje se acuesta con el ya mencionado Alex.

La ya mencionada Emily Fitch (Kathryn Prescott) tiene la particularidad, que comparte con la actriz que lo interpreta, de ser hermana gemela de Katie (interpretada por Megan Prescott). Sin embargo, ambas han desarrollado una relación tóxica debido al bullying de Katie y a su personalidad dócil. La presencia de Naomi Campbell la conmueve e incita a concentrarse en sí misma, en pensar cuál es la dirección de su vida y de su sexualidad. Es un personaje importante cuya historia se desarrolla en la tercera, la cuarta y la séptima temporada. Casi siempre, junto a Naomi.

No por aparecer último es el menor: aunque es cierto que el listado de sus relaciones tiene a las féminas como figuras excluyentes, Tony Stonem, hermano mayor de Effie y figura esencial en la primera parte de la serie, ha tenido sus escarceos con el sexo masculino. Manipulador y carismático, hasta su amigo Maxxie Oliver debió ceder a sus encantos.

Monkey Man: Dev Patel debuta como director con una espectacular puñalada al cine de puñetazos | www.ceboz.com

Dev Patel, en 'Monkey Man'. La mirada de Dev Patel siempre desprendió un fulgor inteligente. Desde su debut en la gran pantalla en Slumdog Millionaire hasta su precioso papel de periodista en la serie de Aaron Sorkin The Newsroom, el actor británico de ascendencia india y enormes ojos oscuros suele dar paz, sosiego e inteligencia a sus criaturas. Quizá por eso no es ninguna sorpresa que, a los 32 años, haya debutado en la dirección con una buena película en favor de los marginados sociales.

Dev Patel’s “Monkey Man” Swings into Theaters

Imagine the electrifying energy of Mumbai’s underground fight clubs, where anonymity hides simmering rage and desperation. Now, picture Dev Patel, not just as a participant, but as the masked avenger known only as “Monkey Man,” directing his own path to justice. Yes, you read that right. Patel is pulling double duty, starring in and directing this action-packed revenge tale, with none other than Jordan Peele swinging in as his producer via Monkeypaw Productions.

But wait, there’s more! Forget the quiet whispers of a streaming release. This “Monkey Man” is baring its fangs and leaping straight onto the silver screen, thanks to a partnership with Universal Pictures. Talk about a plot twist worthy of Peele himself!

So, what can we expect from this genre-bending cinematic leap of faith? Patel’s “Kid” is far from your typical hero. He’s a product of the city’s underbelly, fueled by a past shrouded in mystery and a present defined by bloody knuckles and a simian mask. He’s John Wick with a soulful gaze and a touch of Hanuman, the mythical monkey god, guiding his every move.

Whispers suggest the film is a potent cocktail of action, social commentary, and even a dash of superhero origin story. Think “The Raid” meets “Slumdog Millionaire” with a sprinkle of “Black Panther,” all filtered through Patel’s unique directorial lens. Can you feel the anticipation building?

But here’s the real kicker: Peele’s involvement throws a whole new monkey wrench into the mix. Will his signature brand of social horror seep into the Mumbai mayhem? Can we expect genre-bending surprises that blur the lines between reality and vigilante justice? The possibilities are as thrilling as a perfectly executed parkour move — and just as unpredictable.

Mark your calendars, cinephiles, because “Monkey Man” is swinging into theaters on April 5th. Get ready for a story that punches, ponders, and, with Peele onboard, might just leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about heroes, villains, and the masks we all wear. Remember, in the concrete jungle of Mumbai, sometimes the most unexpected figures rise to become the legends they were always meant to be. Will “Monkey Man” be yours?

HOTEL MUMBAI

HOTEL MUMBAI 2018 Movie based on a true story of the terrorist attack in India. This film stars Dev Patel and was a good movie to watch. I also watched, One Less God, which is also based on the same incident, however Hotel Mumbai was much better. In real life there were victims and survivors who were from Europe, American and from Australia. However, most of the victims and survivors were Indian and in the movies you don't see that many Indian people in them. I want to watch a documentary about this but don't have the means to atm.
