Hilary Duff gained great fame at a very young age, but doesn't seem the least bit spoiled by it. That's because she's a hard worker whose Libra Sun sign allows her to keep smiling and act with graciousness in the hard-driven world of Hollywood.
Hilary Duff is a show business triple threat with success in television, movies and music. She first became famous in 2001, starring as the title character in the TV series 'Lizzie McGuire' at the age of 14. She followed that with 'The Lizzie McGuire Movie' and her first album, 'Metamorphosis' -- that debuted at #2 -- in 2003. Born September 28, 1987 in Houston, Texas, Hilary has the classic good looks and grace of her Libra Sun sign and the fiery enthusiasm of her Sagittarius Moon. Still, in a business crowded with attractive and talented people, there's clearly some magic in her birth chart that sets her apart.
The astrological key is Neptune -- the planet of dreams and fantasies -- which forms a very tight 90-degree square to Hilary's Sun. For some people this creates confusion, vulnerability and a lack of self-confidence. This is certainly not an issue in her case. The super-poised young woman -- home-schooled since the age of ten -- shows the special care she received. For Hilary, Neptune's powerful connection with the Sun makes her a screen onto which we cast our collective projections. She seems perfect, spotless, ever-smiling and kind. Neptune is about ideals, and Hilary was the model teen, the Lizzie every good girl wanted to be. Hilary always seems real, a genuine person whose work with the charity Kids With a Cause appears to be an expression of her own heart, rather than a public relations ploy.

As expected, Saturn -- the planet of maturity and reality -- plays an important part in Hilary Duff's horoscope. It formed a supportive sextile, or 60-degree angle, with Venus when she was born. Venus, associated with beauty and social skills, is the key or ruling planet of Hilary's Sun sign Libra. A person's Sun sign ruler hooked up in a positive way with serious Saturn adds the discipline and groundedness that makes her trustworthy. The harmonious relationship between Venus and Saturn indicates an ability to combine tough and tender in a way that often produces good art and reliable relationships. Saturn is also close to Hilary's Sagittarius Moon, toning down the rowdier side of this sign and directing its considerable enthusiasm in purposeful ways. One surprising factor in her chart is a tense square between active Mars and inventive Uranus, a combination often associated with explosive and rebellious behavior. Hilary hasn't hit the headlines for breaking any laws yet, so it's likely that this powerful pair's force is channeled through her creative work. Mars in the precise, worker bee sign of Virgo directs her energy in very practical ways. But it's also clear that she needs breaks from work to experience the freedom represented by Uranus: freedom required by any young woman of Hilary's age, even one as mature as she is.
