Hugh Grant's career has been built on romantic comedies where his mix of charm and insecurity wraps itself around a storyline of loss and redemption. As a Virgo, the flawed characters he plays and the nervousness he shows onscreen are more likely to be real than an act.
Hugh Grant has achieved fame by playing bumbling cads in romantic comedies. His charming uncertainty allows his seriously flawed characters to eventually overcome their selfishness and ineptitude to win the heart of the leading lady at the end of the film. The handsome but nervous actor doesn't have to stretch himself very far to play these parts. Hugh was born September 9, 1960 with his Sun in the often worried and nervous sign of Virgo. He is reported to be a worrier off-screen, so the twitchy insecurities he presents as an actor mirror his real personality. He's gifted with intelligence, as are most Virgos, but like his sign-mates often spends too much of it criticizing himself for falling short of his demanding expectations. Virgo can be the perfectionist who focuses more attention on what's not working than appreciating what is. Although Grant's self-effacing modesty is common to many Virgos, some demonstrate a prickly arrogance and sense of superiority. This is not Hugh's style, so he can seem like he's worried even when he's showing his charming smile.
Venus, the planet of love and beauty, has graced Hugh Grant with good looks. This planet is in its esthetically gifted home sign of Libra in his chart, a source of charm and social skill as well. Yet a tense 90-degree square between his Venus and restrictive Saturn is likely to leave him doubtful of his own gifts in spite of his fame and fortune. Approval is never assumed for those with this astrological combination, but love and respect can be earned over time and with considerable effort. The most awkward expression of this romantically challenged combination was Hugh's arrest for soliciting a prostitute in Los Angeles. That one of the world's leading men, partnered at the time with one of the world's sexiest women (Elizabeth Hurley) was busted with a Hollywood Boulevard hooker would be hysterically funny if it wasn't so sad and embarrassing. Hugh, though, is resilient. With active Mars in boyish Gemini, he was quickly forgiven and avoided any lasting professional damage. Stern Saturn may ride his Venus harshly, but it forms a harmonious angle with his Virgo Sun, suggesting that he is a man of integrity in his own way, and that he has a solid core in spite of his skittish persona. This may have allowed him to find enough self-respect to get back to work and retain a positive relationship with the public, proving him to be more substantial than he appears.
