Kevin Connolly is a sensitive Pisces whose rich imagination is fueled by the Moon in creative Leo. He's a combination of sweet and sassy that has turned a regular seeming guy into a potential star in the world of show business.

Kevin Connolly has gained famed in HBO's hit series 'Entourage' as Eric Murphy, the best friend and manager of Vince Chase, the rising star played by Adrien Grenier. Kevin's character Eric is a contrast in sensitivity to Vince's cruder boyhood buds, who make up the rest of his entourage. Kevin, born March 5, 1974 in New York, fits the part well as an emotionally-attuned Pisces learning to guide his friend's career. In reality, Kevin shares both the compassionate side of Eric as well the feisty side: When dating Nicky Hilton, he once got in an argument and punched a professional skateboarder in the face. Tender and tough, Kevin can switch from softie to hard guy in a New York minute. Mars, the planet of aggression, is in adaptable Gemini in his chart. Its opposition to compassionate Neptune, Pisces' ruling planet, suggests that he'd rather avoid trouble than address it head on. Perhaps this adaptable attitude misled the recipient of his punch into thinking that Kevin wouldn't fight. Kevin's Mars, though, is backed up with a free-flowing 120-degree trine to Pluto, the planet that takes no prisoners. These two powerhouses, Mars and Pluto, both form harmonious trines to his sociable Venus in friendly Aquarius. Kevin's ability to shift from charm to strong-arm isn't just a homeboy thing, it's rooted in his birth chart. The Venus-Mars relationship, in fact, is a sweet alignment of the principles of attraction and action that has served him well as a ladies' man, and will certainly help him continue to grow as an actor. Venus represents art and Mars represents action, so a healthy alignment between them gives Kevin plenty of punch in his professional life too.

Fantasy-loving Neptune's tense 90-degree square to Kevin's Pisces Sun adds considerable imagination to his personality, but it's his Moon in Leo that provides the fire to come out from the shadows and take center stage. The earth's satellite symbolizes emotions, feelings and habits, which can be expressed dramatically in the Lion's sign. Leos love attention, and the Moon here makes it natural for Kevin to turn his Piscean imagination into a performance. Leo adds confidence and an instinct for showmanship. It helps, too, that Kevin may be an especially bright guy. Mercury (the planet of logic) and Jupiter (the planet of beliefs) are closely joined in intelligent Aquarius. This prodigious mental alignment is supported by trines from stabilizing Saturn and inventive Uranus that suggest he's got more going on upstairs than anyone imagines. It's likely, too, that his restless mind will lead him to write, direct or produce, rather than settle for reading lines written by others for the rest of his life.
