Naomi Watts

Birth Details:
September 28, 1968
Shoreham, England

They say that truth is stranger than fiction -- but in Naomi Watts's case, strange fiction seems to be reality. In fact, since starring in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, Watts has often predicted -- only half-jokingly -- that even when she's old and gray, 'in my slippers with my cane,' folks will still be begging her to reveal the 'real' meaning behind the picture. But it's not just her part in Mulholland Drive that's responsible for her reputation for playing rather odd roles. She's been acting since her teenage years, most often in obscure, unusual films that many say haven't brought her the recognition she deserves -- and her role in 21 Grams looked to be par for the course until she received an Oscar nomination for it. Her parts in the chilling hit The Ring and its sequel have also helped to make Watts a household name. So what's the planetary scoop on this versatile star?

It's not surprising that Watts is drawn to unusual roles -- the planet Uranus, astrological ruler of the unexpected, is quite active in her chart. If anything, what's surprising is that she's managed to touch down here in reality at all; Uranus is known to be a rule-breaker, fond of operating outside of whatever is currently considered normal or ordinary. This quirky, unpredictable planet is in close contact with Watts's Sun in Libra, adding an insistent, eccentric bent to what would ordinarily be a cooperative, people-pleasing personality. This perfectly accounts for Watts's tendency to portray unusual women who are forced to act suddenly and to pull off extraordinary tasks.

Uranus is also in close contact with Watts's Mercury, the planet in charge of communication. Since cerebral Mercury is in sociable, personable Libra, it's easy to see how Uranus's electric influence would only add fuel to her extremely noticeable fire -- and to a voice that's commanding and impossible to ignore, both literally and figuratively.

And speaking of fire, let's not forget that Watts was born with Saturn, the ruler of career, in the fieriest and most impetuous of all signs: Aries. Folks who are born with any planet in Aries are go-getters, but Saturn in Aries combines red-hot ambition with executive ability in a potent, powerful way. Saturn is also directly opposite Watts's Mercury, indicating that every move she makes will always be well thought out, with a careful, practical eye toward the long term. Watts may have taken her time getting to the top, but she's going to be there for a good long while.
