Woody Harrelson demonstrates the inherent confidence of his Leo Sun in every part he plays. Yet he lacks the imperiousness of some of the over-inflated egos found in some members of his sign. He clearly has a sense of purpose, but it doesn't seem to get in the way of his sense of play.

Woody Harrelson demonstrates the inherent confidence of his Leo Sun in every part he plays. Yet he lacks the imperiousness of some of the over-inflated egos found in some members of his sign. He clearly has a sense of purpose, but it doesn't seem to get in the way of his sense of play.
Woody Harrelson took a supporting role as a replacement bartender in 'Cheers' and turned it into a successful movie career. He's made his character actor's face into a vehicle for a leading man with starring roles in 'White Men Can't Jump,' 'Natural Born Killers,' and 'Kingpin,' among others, and with significant parts in many films. Woody is like a strange everyman, a weird old friend or ex-classmate who shows up to turn your life upside down. He's confident and restless at the same time, just like his birth chart. Woody's a Leo, born July 23, 1961 in Midland, Texas. His Sun in Leo represents that strength of personality, strong will and charm that gets him both into and out of scrapes. Many Leos, though, get comfy on their royal thrones, locking into positions of authority from which to demonstrate their superior powers. Woody is a more mobile Lion, one who doesn't want to rule any kingdom, even his own. This is most clearly shown by his Moon, the planet of emotion or habit. Woody's is in outgoing Sagittarius, a brother fire sign to Leo. Strong personalities are to be expected when both the Sun and Moon are heated by the dynamic force of fire. Leo is about the self, but Sagittarius is often interested in truth and travel of the mind and body, which Woody has demonstrated with his political activism. A well-known supporter of environmental causes and decriminalization of marijuana, he's been unafraid to take controversial positions. The man off the screen is just as independent as the characters he plays on them.
Uranus, the planet of originality and rebellion, has a very important position in Woody's chart. It forms a close conjunction with the Moon's North Node, a point of spiritual and psychological fulfillment. This shows that it's healthy for him to act as an agent for change rather than a supporter of the status quo. But he gets away with this because of his charm and his sly intelligence. He's a college graduate who comes across like a hayseed, reflecting his Mercury in down home Cancer. The messenger planet in this very personal sign appears simple but sincere. Woody's Mercury forms a creative 120-degree trine with imaginative Neptune, though, enriching his speech with imagery and nuance that serve the actor's craft and his political interests. He's got a gentle way with words that can charm those who oppose his ideas and make audiences believe him in murderous or humorous roles. We sense the strong sense of purpose of his Leo Sun, around which dances his joyous Sagittarius Moon.
