Brad Pitt Astro Analysis

Brad Pitt is probably "the" most famous actor currently in Hollywood. Along with his captivatingly devil-may-care attitude and his ruggedly handsome good looks, his acting talents have made somewhat ordinary films such as "A River Runs Through It" and "Legends of the Fall" huge hits.

Astrologically speaking, what can we attribute to his extraordinary talents?

The first major thing about his astrology birth chart that really jumps out is his stellium (a grouping of planets) in Capricorn that are in his 1st house of self and 2nd house of finances and values. This indicates that he is a very ambitious person who very much believes in goal-setting and doing the hard work that is necessary to succeed. The emphasis in the 1st and 2nd houses indicates that he has a huge surplus of self-confidence, natural charisma, and patience to work his way to the top.

Brad Pitt's Sun in Sagittarius in his first house is his secret weapon, however. This is because the sun is the most potent when it resides in the fire sign houses of the 1st, 5th, and 9th. The sun is the natural ruler of Leo in astrology, but is also very comfortable in the fellow fire signs of Aries and Sagittarius. His sun in a fire sign (Sagittarius) in a fire house (1st) basically symbolizes that he is a living and breathing fire sign.

This is what enables him to be so innately full of life, enthusiasm, and confidence. It also gives him a deep faith in himself and life. His life has clearly proven this to be true because his sun placement has given him the total allure, animal magnetism, and flair of a mega superstar even before he ever was one. I would guess that the people in his life have always sensed something "special" about him that would later transform itself into the glamorous star quality that he effortlessly projects. This placement is what enables him to walk into a room and everyone's attention is automatically drawn to him out of awe and admiration.

This placement gives him an intense need for creative expression. It also makes him a natural leader in his field. He has, indeed, consistently proven that he can carry a film single-handedly ever since he rocketed to stardom in his brief appearance as the devilishly charming con-man in "Thelma and Louise."

From that moment on, he has set Hollywood on fire with his handsome good looks and boyish smile. In fact, Brad Pitt is consistently listed as one of the most attractive actors with People magazine giving him the title of "The Sexiest Man Alive" in 1995 and 2000. So what attributes to the magnetic physical appeal that he has?

Well, let's start with his aforementioned stellium in Capricorn. This sign gives him the beautiful bone structure and chiseled good looks similar to that of a Greek god. In addition, the strong emphasis of fire in his chart adds a ruggedly athletic and muscular physique to the equation.

Brad Pitt has his Mars in the first house which is also highly significant. Like the sun, Mars naturally rules a fire sign (Aries) and actually rules the first house. As we can see, Mars is very strong here. His Mars resides in the astrology sign of Capricorn. Once again, Mars is very comfortable in this ambitious sign. This enables Brad Pitt to persevere (Capricorn) in his career yet maintain the passion (Mars) for his goals at the same time.

His Mars in his 1st house also can be greatly attributed to the great ease at which he plays very physical roles. In "Legends of the Fall", his portrayal of a rugged outdoorsman in the remote wilderness of Montana and, later, as a soldier in World War I was ideally suited for him as he perfectly made the wildness of his character come to life.

In "Troy", he played the role of "Achilles", the fiercest warrior in the Greek Army. Mars rules soldiers, athletes, war, bloodshed, swords, and aggression. Brad Pitt perfectly portrayed his Mars energy in his portrayal of Achilles. I don't think he could have had a more perfectly suited role for him than this. So what we see in his first house is quite unique. We have two planets (Sun and Mars) that naturally rule fire signs in a fire house (the 1st house) and one of the two planets is also in a fire sign (Sun in Sagittarius). All I can say is, "Wow"! This gives him quite a unique combination of characteristics. He has a dynamic powder keg full of charisma, tons of sex appeal, and a fearless confidence to conquer the world which he seems to do with every movie he makes.
