Rosario Dawson is a Taurus, but she didn't have to toil for years before getting her big break. Uranus, the planet of surprise, was directly opposite the Sun when she was born, which led to her being discovered in a way most struggling starlets only dream about.
Most film stars work at their craft for years before finally getting their big break. This was not how it happened for Rosario Dawson, whose "accidental" career keeps growing stronger and stronger. A Taurus, born May 9, 1979 in New York City, Rosario has the earthy sensuality for which her sign is known. But she didn't plod her way through acting school and countless auditions to get started in the business. At 16 she was spotted sitting on her front porch and asked to be in the movie 'Kids.' Her life changed in an instant, in a very non-Taurus way. The sign of the Bull is usually slow, cautious and consistent. Sudden events like this are associated with Uranus, the planet of electricity and surprise, which was exactly opposite the Sun when she was born. This is the mark of individuality found in those with unique qualities and unconventional stories.
Rosario not only arrived in a flash. She is a rare combination of Irish, Cuban, African American, Puerto Rican, and Native American that sets her apart from every other actress in Hollywood. Her striking beauty is marked by Venus in individualistic Aries, so she doesn't look like anyone else out there. The planet of love in this high energy fire sign adds strength to her appearance, as does its conjunction with Mars the warrior. She's no frail female, but a woman whose fierce sense of self comes through in almost every role she plays. An opposition from deep, dark and intense Pluto to her Venus-Mars conjunction adds mystery that gives her a compelling on-screen quality. It's clear that she's no lightweight, and though strongly sensual, she is in control of herself at all times. Venus, Mars, and Pluto make a highly erotic trio in which attraction (Venus), action (Mars) and desire (Pluto) merge into one powerful package.
If Rosario's astrological tale ended here, it's doubtful that she'd have become a star. It's her Moon in Libra that adds balance and grace to fill out the picture in a most harmonious way. The Moon represents moods and feelings, an inner quality that binds a personality and gives its basic tone. Her Libra Moon knows how to listen, to feel, and respond to others. It tempers her raw power with an acute awareness of her impact on others. Libra is an objective sign, one that knows how to cool off when things turn too hot and how to warm up when people drift apart. It also suggests a sense of fairness that makes this exotic woman feel familiar enough to be let into our lives while remaining exciting enough to always hold our interest.
