Scarlett Johansson is a Sagittarius, a sign known for its friendly and outgoing nature. But it is the depth of other planets in her chart -- adding a touch of mystery -- that has allowed her to become one of Hollywood's most sought-after actresses.
Scarlett Johansson, who was born November 22, 1984 in New York, has the easygoing appearance of her Sagittarius Sun sign, but she holds enough back to keep audiences hungry for more. She's definitely beautiful, but that's not the reason for her fame. It's the depth below those sculpted cheek bones and luscious lips that makes her a success. Sagittarians are usually outgoing and open, so what you see is what you get. Scarlett seems accessible -- like someone who'd actually talk to you, not an icy movie queen surrounded by her burly bodyguards. We also sense that she's holding something back, some mysterious secret that she can't (or won't) share.
The key to this restraint is Scarlett's Venus, the planet of beauty, in the self-controlled sign of Capricorn. This brings her discipline, commitment and maturity, making her seem wise beyond her years. There's a shyness in Capricorn, so Venus' placement here indicates that Scarlett isn't hungry for love and attention (or at least she isn't willing to show that she is), giving her the reserve that audiences find so attractive. Alone, this position could make her seem cold and distant, but in combination with her friendly Sagittarian Sun, she has the perfect movie star match of familiarity and exoticism.
Scarlett's like the gorgeous girl in school who doesn't think she's really that attractive. Venus in Capricorn is never complacent or self-indulgent, so Scarlett will continue to work hard to improve herself, rather than settling for what comes easily. Additionally, expansive Jupiter next to Venus has her always expecting more from herself, expanding her horizons, broadening her art, and motivating her to keep learning more about her craft. Jupiter and Venus are traditional astrology's two "benefic" planets, so their union adds much grace to her chart. It's the seriousness, practicality and patience of Capricorn that keeps the joyousness under control.
