Owen Wilson: Secretly Intense Scorpio

Owen Wilson often plays lovable eccentrics who live outside society's rules. His astrological chart reflects his independent spirit, but a posse of planets in Scorpio, including his Sun and Moon, reveals a much more intense and complex person than he appears to be.

Owen Wilson almost always plays rascals. With his sly smile, shaggy hair and puppy dog eyes set off by his oft-broken nose, he comes across as both a ladies' man and a guys' guy who would be great to hang out with. Few actors have ever seemed so alive and relaxed at the same time. Owen looks and sounds like a laidback surfer, except for the Texas twang that reveals his non-coastal origins. But don't be fooled by his cool, because Owen is an intense individual. He was born November 18, 1968 with the Sun and Moon in Scorpio. This hot, wet sign is far from the easygoing characters Owen plays on screen. He's a passionate, intelligent man who is interested in the inner workings of the human psyche. In fact, if Owen weren't an actor, he'd probably be a good shrink. His work as a screenwriter demonstrates that he's much more than a Hollywood pretty boy.

Imagination is a key element of Owen's birth chart, with fantasy-filled Neptune conjunct his Scorpio Sun. The need to escape an ordinary life is common to those marked so strongly by Neptune. Movies are a perfect vehicle for creating worlds beyond the limits of reality, so Owen is definitely in the right place. The gentleness of Neptune also softens some of Scorpio's vaunted intensity. His power and passion is diffused so that we don't sense his sharp edges. However, Mars, the planet of action, is joined with independent Uranus in Owen's chart, which shows a strong will to do things in his own unique way. Mars-Uranus combinations make rebels who love breaking rules, which is something often expressed in the parts he plays. He's not interested in following the well-worn paths trod by those who came before him, but can be an innovator and pioneer cutting a new trail of his own. The explosive side of Mars-Uranus is tempered by their placement in charming Libra, enabling Owen to appear totally likeable as he creates chaos onscreen. This pair is in a tense 90-degree square to Venus in earthy Capricorn. The sociable love planet in this sometimes calculating sign shows that Owen is completely aware of his effect on others. The challenging aspect between Venus and Mars is great for seduction, but often difficult for maintaining long-term relationships. Adding eccentric Uranus to the picture means that it takes an extremely unusual partner to maintain Owen's attention. In fact, he needs someone as complicated and entertaining as himself, which would certainly make a memorable match.
