Birth Details:
October 16, 1958
West Covina, California

Actor, director, producer, screenwriter -- all these titles apply to Tim Robbins, man of many cinematic talents. With most of his younger years spent growing up in Greenwich Village, he took to the stage at the tender age of 12. Drama class at Stuyvesant High School afforded him the opportunity to both act and direct. After playing the role of partier for two years in college, he finished up with a degree in theater from UCLA. Making his film debut in 1984's Toy Soldiers, Robbins landed several small roles in classics like Top Gun and The Sure Thing. Onscreen romance blossomed into real-life love on the set of Bull Durham, where Robbins met longtime partner Susan Sarandon. Subsequently, Robbins has garnered praise, nominations and awards for his work in acting, directing and screenwriting. His filmography includes acclaimed films such as The Shawshank Redemption, The Player, Bob Roberts and the Oscar-winning Dead Man Walking and Mystic River. So what do the stars have to say about the next step for this versatile talent?

Born under a Libra Sun, Robbins is Mr. Charming, an amiable and courteous fellow who seeks harmony and peace. A romantic at heart, he values partnerships and will be at his best when working as a team. Indeed, he and Susan Sarandon have collaborated on several successful projects together, including The Player, Bob Roberts and Dead Man Walking. Diplomatic and fair-minded, Robbins is also a born mediator with excellent negotiation skills. As a result of his Sun's conjunction with Mars, the planet of passion, Mr. Charming turns into an assertive dynamo. He's a go-getter who can't sit still. Initiating and taking action are the name of the game for him.

Tim Robbins's Tarot Reading

With his Moon in Aries, Robbins can be pretty bold and brash. He sees life as an adventure and is ready to bound into a new project or opportunity based on his immediate feelings, rather than on anything so planned out as logic or reason. Ambitious, impulsive and pioneering, he'll take the initiative to implement his ideas. An Aries Moon also signals a man with a short fuse. He may be short-tempered, but he'll get over it quickly. This aspect's influence is similar to that of his Sun conjunct Mars.

When it comes to communication, Robbins is intense and probing in conversation. With Mercury, the planet of communication, in Scorpio, he's very good at questioning. Because his Mercury is in a different sign than his Sun, he won't always say what he means. His Mercury is conjunct Neptune, however, which signals a good storyteller, a quality he demonstrated by penning the screenplays to both Bob Roberts and Dead Man Walking.

In the love department, Robbins has Venus in Virgo, making him a perfectionist in relationships -- picky, picky, picky. He was very discriminating when it came to choosing a mate, and when he did, it was Ms. Right, as opposed to Ms. Right Now or Ms. Almost Right. His Venus conjunct Pluto adds some fuel to the fires of love, making Robbins very deep and intense. While he's charismatic and magnetic, he could also be somewhat manipulative.

In terms of action and drive, Mars, the planet of passion, finds itself in lovely Libra. Robbins's personal drives will be closely linked to and realized through his cooperation with other people. He's relationship-driven and only feels content when involved in a partnership. He's also a peace-seeker who is likely to avoid debate at all costs.
