Uma Thurman

Birth Details:
April 29, 1970
1:50 PM
Boston, Massachusetts

With her off-kilter beauty and intense acting skills, it didn't take long for Uma Thurman to become a screen favorite. She made a big splash early on in her career by playing sexually charged characters such as the young nymph in Dangerous Liaisons and the passionate June in Henry and June, but she didn't let herself be typecast. She also shone in Pulp Fiction and Gattaca, and played a very memorable Poison Ivy in Batman and Robin. She was formerly married to actor Gary Oldman, then had two children with Ethan Hawke before they split. What's in the stars for the Kill Bill star?

The Taurus Sun is known, above all, for its down-to-earth qualities. Born under the sign of the bull, Ms. Thurman knows all about being earthy. Her father is a former Tibetan Buddhist monk who named her Uma after a Hindu deity, and she was raised in a Zen sort of harmony until she was ready to leave home. At 16, the bullheaded young woman packed up and moved to New York. Through dogged determination, she kept herself afloat by modeling and washing dishes until she turned to the screen to try her luck.

Uma Thurman's Tarot Reading

Even beyond her Sun's influence, Thurman's chart is just brimming with the Bull's steadfast energy -- both Saturn and Mercury were situated in Taurus at the time of her birth. Saturn, the celestial taskmaster, is the earthiest planet; when he resides in the earthiest sign, you can bet the individual in question will stick with her chosen profession for the long haul. Mercury, planet of communication, is prone to take that earthy energy and parlay it into a careful, methodical application of principles. No last-minute script cramming for Thurman; she's all about clear communication and the systematic processing of information.

All of the earth in this chart, though, gets a run for its money from the abundance of air signs that are equally influential in shaping Thurman's personality. Her Venus, planet of love, lies in Gemini, making the actress a potentially fickle partner. Whether she's in a relationship or not, Thurman craves constant stimulation and exciting new energy all around her.

Thurman's Mars is also in Gemini, which, combined with an Aquarius Moon, further contributes to her chart's airy nature. Aquarius is freedom-seeking and unpredictable and, combined with Gemini's mercurial, indecisive influence on the planet of passion, could easily explain instability in relationships. However, Thurman's screen presence can only be enhanced by Gemini's naturally quick-witted and flirtatious nature. Thurman is quick in both thought and action; once she has an idea to start a project, she'll see it through as soon as humanly possible and then jump to the next project just as quickly.

With all of her earth and air signs, Ms. Thurman knows where she's going in the world and exactly how to get there. It's unlikely this star will fade anytime soon -- far more likely, she'll keep rising until she's reached her desired destination.
