Action heroes Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck have starred in two movies together -- Daredevil and Pearl Harbor. They met in 2002 while filming Daredevil and began dating sometime later, keeping their personal lives out of the limelight as much as possible. On June 29, 2005, using all the spy-craft of Jennifer's Alias character, Sydney Bristow, the couple successfully pulled off a quiet, private wedding on a remote island in the Caribbean. True to the clandestine nature of the operation, Jennifer was accompanied by her CIA agent-father from Alias, actor Victor Garber -- shown in a grainy photo, as if snapped by a spy with a long-range camera lens lurking in a nearby palm tree. After the wedding, Jennifer and Ben continued their low-key lifestyle as they awaited the arrival of their daughter, Violet Anne, who was born on December 1, 2005. One thing the privacy-loving couple can't keep under cover is that they are both madly in love with Violet. 'She's beautiful,' marvels Ben.

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's Tarot Reading

Romantic Compatibility for Aries Jennifer Garner and Leo Ben Affleck:

With Ben's Venus opposite Jennifer's Jupiter, they spark each other's sense of humor and good will. They usually put each other into a good mood, and can count on lots of laughter, fun and socializing to develop from this relationship. They feel open and uninhibited with each other, and a great mutual appreciation grows out of their happy times together. Jennifer's Sun trine Ben's Mars highlights successful cooperation in accomplishing tasks. They make an excellent working team and are able to assist each other in achieving their goals. The sexual attraction between them is very strong and Jennifer's Sun trine Ben's Jupiter promises that the two of them enjoy each other's company enormously. Ben has a great deal of confidence in Jennifer and is able to see her best qualities. They encourage and support each other, helping each other to be more confident, open new doors and to grow. This positive note of good will and harmony will help them overcome differences in temperament and other stressful aspects of their relationship. Jennifer's Mercury trine Ben's Neptune means that they enjoy discussing art, music, fiction, theater and religion. They also have a strong psychic connection and often communicate without words. They kindle each other's imagination and ideals and work together well in the arts, as well as in humanitarian endeavors. Ben, for example, supports The Art of Elysium, a charity that encourages working actors, artists and musicians to volunteer their time and talent to help sick children. Founded in 1997, the organization provides workshops in acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and writing to children battling serious medical conditions. 'I've become much more involved in children's charities since I've had a daughter of my own,' says Ben. 'Fatherhood's made me a bit more mature and responsible.'

Jennifer's Venus trine Ben's Uranus guarantees that this is a spirited relationship. Again, they feel very uninhibited and are able to express themselves freely with each other. If they enjoy dancing or sports, then each has an excellent partner in the other. Their sexy fight scene in Daredevil is a perfect example of their grace in motion. Sexual compatibility is high and each of them is likely to feel that their partner is a wonderful lover. With Jennifer's Mars trine Ben's Uranus, an electric, exhilarating quality infuses their relationship and they encourage one another to be bold and self-assured. This may be of particular value to Ben, who has said, 'I'm always described as 'cocksure' or 'with a swagger,' and that bears no resemblance to who I feel like inside. I feel plagued by insecurity.' Vigorous physical activities, from love-making to sports, are good outlets for the vital dynamic energy they generate together. Jennifer's Sun trine Ben's Sun indicates that their basic aims and approach to life are in harmony, and the mutual respect they feel forms the basis of an excellent partnership.

Jennifer's Mercury opposite Ben's Pluto reveals that their conversations are esoteric and engrossing. They uncover hidden aspects of themselves and find that they share at a much deeper level than they do with others. If they encounter a topic where they strongly disagree, they will both hammer on this issue until it is resolved or until death -- whichever comes first. Again, the Daredevil fight scene comes to mind. Ben's Mercury sextile Jennifer's Venus reiterates that they are able to share their feelings with an unusual degree of openness and honesty. However, Ben may suppress Jennifer's natural drive, which can leave her feeling drained and resentful. They must beware of holding in anger and irritation with one another for it can slowly poison their relationship. In an apparent turnaround, Ben's Mars square Jennifer's Saturn suggests that he is the passionate, impulsive one and she can be the one to put on the brakes. This may be true in their sexual relationship, their approach to achieving goals, or both. Ben is likely to feel very frustrated if Jennifer expresses disapproval or caution too often, and this can be a source of considerable friction between them. Instead of trying to hold Ben down, Jennifer should confront the fears and inhibitions that his directness evokes.

Ben's Jupiter square Jennifer's Pluto shows that through their relationship, significant changes occur in their underlying assumptions about life and death, their faith or their sense of personal meaning. Jennifer may try to force Ben to accept some philosophy or way of seeing the world, challenging his beliefs or religious understanding. Putting their cherished ideals to the test, pushing past mental barriers and limits, and diving into life wholeheartedly are key issues in this relationship. Jennifer's Saturn opposite Ben's Neptune warns that through their relationship they will both have to face aspects of themselves that may be difficult to accept. Whatever fantasies or escapist patterns they have will surface, and there are likely to be periods of intense doubt as they struggle to see and respond to life more honestly. Sometimes they will feel that they are on a seesaw, with Jennifer being the skeptical and pragmatic realist and Ben being the one whose religious beliefs, spiritual aspirations or fantasies are put to the test. Jennifer may feel subtly undermined by Ben's mystical or irrational approach to life. The balance between spiritual values -- or illusions and fantasies -- versus practical limitations is an important dynamic in their relationship. With Ben's Saturn trine Jennifer's Uranus, they are able to balance their needs for security and commitment with their desire for freedom and spontaneity. In this instance, Jennifer loosens Ben up and prevents him from becoming too rigid, encouraging him to make changes and take more leaps into the unknown. Ben has a steadying effect on Jennifer and helps her organize and direct her energies into clear channels. Quoting her mother, Jennifer says, 'Happiness is your own responsibility.'
