Jude Law

Birth Details:
December 29, 1972
London, England

Handsome Englishman Jude Law is a seasoned actor who began his dramatic career at the age of 12. Although earlier performances in Gattaca, with Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, and I Love You, I Love You Not might have gone by unnoticed, audiences definitely took note of Law's best supporting actor-nominated portrayal of blueblood Dickie Greenleaf in 1999's The Talented Mr. Ripley. He also appeared as a Russian sharpshooter in the World War II drama Enemy at the Gates and as an amorous robot gigolo in the Stanley Kubrick-Steven Spielberg sci-fi fantasy A.I. His work in Cold Mountain and Closer also met with terrific critical acclaim. Although he's been lauded for the passion he brings to his work and for his unconventional choices of roles, his classic good looks also haven't escaped attention -- he's been named to People's 50 Most Beautiful list. Law is, however, more than a pretty face. What do the stars say about his continued success?

With his Sun in the practical earth sign of Capricorn, Jude Law is an ambitious actor, driven by his overwhelming need for success. Like many Capricorns, Law has been focused on his goal of being an actor since he was a child, and his patience and determination have certainly paid off. Law's prudent earthy influence isn't the only thing that guides him, though; the presence of Sagittarius is also quite strong in his birth chart, with his Mercury, Venus and Neptune all lying in the Archer's domain. That fire influence and restless mutable quality compel Law to try new things and accept new acting challenges; after all, not many actors would seek offbeat roles such as the object of Matt Damon's obsession in The Talented Mr. Ripley, a bisexual hustler in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil or an android escort in A.I. These influences make the sexy Englishman a quick-witted communicator and an adventurous lover with a philosophic side.

Jude Law's Tarot Reading

Because his Mars lies in the fixed sign of Scorpio, Law makes calculated and purposeful career moves; don't expect him to star in the latest teen comedy just because that's the trend of the moment. With his Jupiter in the ambitious cardinal sign of Capricorn, Law pushes himself to be the best actor possible, and to make sure that his career isn't just a flash in the pan. Get used to seeing this comely actor's face; it looks like he will be around for a while!

Since Law's Sun squares Pluto, he is quite willful, though he appears coolly self-restrained on the outside (he tends to have a very British 'stiff upper lip' and isn't prone to sharing his most intimate thoughts with the press). But he isn't aloof; because his Mercury conjuncts Venus, Law is quite affable and refined, and always puts his natural charm forward (those hoping he'll make catty remarks about former costars like Gwyneth Paltrow or Cate Blanchett will be disappointed!).

With his Venus conjuncting Neptune, Law is very romantic and spiritual in love. He tends to idealize his partner, sometimes to a degree that obscures reality (he probably regretted getting a tattoo on his left arm that said 'Sexy Sadie' when he and wife Sadie Frost divorced! Not to mention his scandalous affair with his nanny whist engaged to beauty Sienna Miller -- who, lucky for him, has taken him back).

There's a string of films in the works for this unpredictable Englishman -- it looks like the stars are ever in his favor!
