The face of Rachel Bilson -- one of the stars of 'The O.C.' -- regularly appears on magazine covers. But the beautiful young actress is unlikely to lose her head from all the attention. She has a Virgo Sun and Cancer Moon that are bound to help her keep it real no matter how famous she becomes.
Rachel Bilson's role as Summer Roberts in 'The O.C.' has made her an overnight star, but the actress denies that she's anything like the character she plays. While Summer can be the spoiled rich girl, Rachel insists that she's a very nice person, and her astrological chart backs her up. She was born on August 25, 1981 in Los Angeles with her Sun in the modest sign of Virgo and her Moon in caring, compassionate Cancer. While Virgos can be picky and Cancer Moons are sometimes moody, there's not much diva-like behavior in this combination. Virgo is cautious, committed and hard working, and has more awareness of how much they need to improve than a sense of how great they are. Focusing on the craft is more important than fame, especially for Rachel, who is in the fourth generation of a Hollywood family. Her great grandfather was a writer, director and producer, her great grandmother was a writer, her grandfather was an actor and her father, Danny Bilson, is a writer and director. Working in the family business also fits her Cancer Moon, a chart placement that emphasizes tradition. Rachel fulfills this lunar position in another important way by living in a Hollywood Hills condo that's been in her family for years.
Rachel's career in front of the camera is largely reflected through the placement of Venus in her birth chart. This is the planet of beauty, the arts and self-worth. Rachel's Venus is in Libra, its airy home sign associated with grace, charm and good looks. What sets her apart from the one in twelve people who share this combination with her are Venus' close conjunctions to Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and opportunity, makes everything it touches bigger. Snuggled up to Rachel's artistic and attractive Venus, it makes it easy for audiences to fall in love with her. For some people, though, extravagant Jupiter with luxury-loving Venus equals self-indulgence. Rachel is a big fan of fashion and once said, "I grew up sort of like a princess. I know that sounds awful, but I was the baby of the family. I had older brothers, so the little girl always gets everything she wants." But with responsible Saturn in the picture, she's no spoiled brat. Saturn expects to work hard to earn life's goodies. Jupiter may create the opportunities, but without Saturn's concentrated efforts they'd slip away. We needn't worry about that happening to Rachel, though. Her earthy Virgo Sun, cautious Cancer Moon and strongly placed Saturn are all anchored in reality, keeping her feet firmly planted on the ground no matter how high she flies in the public eye.
