    Penelope Cruz accomplished the uncommon feat of becoming a movie star in her second language. Born in Madrid, Spain on April 28, 1974, she achieved success in her native language before landing the title role in 'Woman on Top' in 2000 and co-starring in 'Blow' and 'All the Pretty Horses,' establishing her career in the U.S. Since she's made the leap, we can expect her to stick around for a long, long time. In spite of the relatively short shelf life of leading ladies, Penelope is a strong-willed Taurus who will not give up her gains easily. She once said, "There's so much more I want to do. I refuse to get to 50 and wait at home for the phone to ring. In Spain, actresses work until they are old. That's my plan." You can be sure that she'll stick to it, since Taurus may be the most stubborn sign of the zodiac. Its element is earth and its modality is fixed, making it especially resistant to change. Still, it is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, so its members can be extremely sweet and good natured, too. Penelope has a relaxed quality that offsets her regal looks and makes her feel accessible.

    Penelope has the Moon in Cancer, the home sign for Earth's emotional satellite. This adds another layer of warmth and comfort to her personality, and indicates a caring and protective nature. Both Taurus and Cancer are collectors who don't like to let go of people or things, a quality Penelope expresses through her ongoing friendship with her ex-boyfriend Tom Cruise. She was one of the first people, in fact, to see his newborn daughter Suri. She's also shown Cancer's concerns about the well-being of others by creating a foundation in Spain for the shelter of homeless girls. Sometimes, though, a Taurus-Cancer combination can be a little sluggish, more interested in playing it safe than playing hard. This is not the case for Penelope, with a tough conjunction between active Mars and responsible Saturn in her chart. When this hard-driving pair hooks up in a horoscope, a person knows what it takes to overcome obstacles. It shows Penelope's commitment to her craft and willingness to put out as much effort as necessary to achieve her goals. This ambitious pair took her from dancing school to films in Spain to Hollywood and worldwide fame. Behind her big eyes and delightful accent is a true warrior who will continue her conquests for decades to come.
