Brad Pitt’s easygoing appearance hides his seriousness from public view. With four planets in Capricorn, he’s not just a pretty boy with luck on his side -- he's a man with a plan.
Sagittarian Brad Pitt -- the only two-time winner of People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" title -- has the broad smile and easygoing athleticism of his Sun sign. His great looks and playful personality give him a boyish air even though he's in his forties. Nothing seems to tarnish his heroic image -- not playing the dangerously demented Tyler Durden in Fight Club, or even trading in girl-next-door Jennifer Aniston for darkly mysterious Angelina Jolie. It's not just Sagittarian good luck, either -- there's a calculating mind behind that handsome face -- a man we're sure to see with the release of his latest movie, Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds.'
Born just before dawn on December 18, 1963, Brad has both his Sun and Ascendant (or Rising Sign) in Sagittarius. The Ascendant shows how a person comes across, or what they most easily show to the world. The Sun is the heart of the personality and life purpose. There's a certain purity of energy and personal power when a person has a double dose of the same sign like Brad does. The brilliant light of the Sun emerges at the most obvious point of the chart, which can make for a strong and cheerful personality. And when it's in Sagittarius -- the most optimistic sign of the zodiac -- the likeability factor is high. Like many of his sign, Brad has a strong sense of adventure, as well as a desire to travel, learn and expand his field of experience. He's not going to hole up behind the gates of his estate and pass the days reading Sports Illustrated until his next film begins. He's probably as attracted to Angelina Jolie's globe-trotting work with refugees as he is to her exotic beauty. Her humanitarian travels align more closely with his Sagittarian ideals than would shopping trips on Rodeo Drive.
What you see with anyone, though, is only part of what you get, and Brad is no exception. Behind that outward confidence is a very serious man. He has four planets in the practical, organized, and responsible sign of Capricorn. He's not just some pretty boy who stumbled into success. Like anyone with the Moon in Capricorn, he's likely to be a worrier. No matter how high he climbs on the ladder of success, he's not going to forget how easy it is to fall and how hard it would be to start all over again. Brad's Moon in Capricorn keeps him humble, but ambitious. He's probably a very good negotiator for himself. Although he's been willing to take small sums for projects he loves -- like his critically-acclaimed role as a gypsy boxer in 'Snatch' -- he doesn't need an agent to tell him how much he's worth.
Venus, the planet of beauty and grace, was right next to the Moon when Brad was born, adding considerable charm, but in a contained manner. Behind the practical jokes of Brad's Sagittarius Ascendant -- he and pal George Clooney are notorious pranksters -- lies a very sharp mind and distinct sense of purpose. Venus in Capricorn values order and style, which we can see in both his love of architecture and design and how he carries himself. Although he may look like he's all fun and games, Brad Pitt is serious about both career and love. This is a man who knows exactly what he's doing.
