Gwyneth Paltrow

Birth Details:
September 28, 1972
Los Angeles, California

Libra Gwyneth Paltrow's offscreen life has gotten her almost as much coverage as her on-screen pursuits. The lissome blonde actress, who burst onto the scene in the chilling thriller Seven (and managed to catch the eye of costar Brad Pitt in the process), is a true child of Hollywood. Paltrow's parents, actress Blythe Danner and director Bruce Paltrow, didn't exactly push their daughter into acting, but with family friends like Steven Spielberg, it wasn't long before the bug bit her. With one Oscar statuette (from 1998's Shakespeare in Love) already secured, Paltrow's gone on to wow worldwide audiences with both her comic roles (in The Royal Tenenbaums, for example) and dramatic ones (such as her turn as poet Sylvia Plath in Sylvia). And love may have finally found Paltrow, who's happily ensconced in her new family with husband Chris Martin, of the band Coldplay, and two children, Apple and Moses. Can her future get any brighter? The stars know the answer!

Born under a Libra Sun, Paltrow's 'got class,' as ex-fiance Brad Pitt was quick to tell friends. The actress is tasteful, refined and always well dressed, making her eminently companionable. Paltrow feels right at home in social situations, charming others with her sharp eye and wry wit. She also seeks peace and harmony at every turn, so there's nary a ruffled feather in her world. Since the actress's Sun sits in the middle of a stellium (a series of conjunctions among three or more planets) between Mercury, Uranus and Pluto in Libra, considerable energy is cast upon Libra's influence, making its qualities even more pronounced. In a nutshell, Paltrow will flourish in the company of others and will feel most complete when in a relationship, since much of her identity stems from that kinship. Finally, the Sun's conjunction to Pluto here tells us in no uncertain terms that this lady knows her power. With the Sun speaking to the father, it's also likely that Paltrow identifies strongly with her director dad and that he had a great influence on her.

Gwyneth Paltrow's Tarot Reading

Thanks to her Moon in Gemini, Paltrow is wonderfully versatile and can easily handle two or more ideas or jobs at once. With both her Sun and Moon in air signs, Paltrow is smart, quick-witted and a natural for the snappy repartee of the characters she plays. Mercury in pleasing Libra only confirms Paltrow's status as the life of the party, forever saying the right thing and dazzling others with her eloquence.

Her Venus in Leo tells us that Paltrow was born to portray the warmhearted, romantic and charming characters that she's played onscreen. She is flirtatious but also graceful, dazzling and intelligent, and she's skilled at making her poise seem effortless. Leo's influence makes for someone generous and affectionate, yet attention-seeking. Paltrow likely adores being adored. Her high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt didn't last forever; did her theatrical personality and need for attention prove to be too much for her more direct and above-board Sagittarian lover? Thankfully, her breakups with Pitt and, later, Ben Affleck ended amicably. Leos, though fickle and a bit self-centered in love, are incredibly openhearted and open-minded.

With Mars in Virgo, Paltrow's attitude toward her work is summed up in one word: perfection. She's practical and steady, able to zero in on the details that will bring her success. Work is serious business for Paltrow, and she wants to get it right. Since her Mars is square Jupiter in Capricorn, Paltrow is competitive to the max and needs to be The One, although she'll get there in the classiest of ways -- she's a Libra, after all.
