Few actresses are hotter than Scarlett Johansson these days, so this young beauty's active social life gets plenty of press coverage. She's been outspoken about her open-mindedness regarding relationships, and may not be the ideal candidate for long-term love. Scarlett's a Sagittarius, the adventurous and outgoing fire sign that tends to prefer freedom to commitment. Her husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, is a late Libra, born on October 23, 1977 -- just one hour before the Sun shifted into Scorpio. Librans are often romantics with strong attractions to peace, harmony and eternal love.
Ryan's desire for a perfect partner is also shown by the Moon in his chart. The astrological body of emotions, habits and needs is in the sensitive and sentimental sign of Pisces. This underscores an idealistic nature that can allow him to overlook obvious issues. Nebulous Neptune, Pisces' dreamy ruling planet, formed a challenging 90-degree square to Ryan's Moon to multiply the potential for emotional flight from reality. Ryan's Venus -- the love planet -- is conjunct deep, dark and mysterious Pluto, the Lord of the Underworld. While Venus in Libra alone is further indication of a man who wants every day to be St. Valentine's, pungent Pluto's close presence gives him a taste for danger. The union of sweet Venus and Pluto attracts him to mysterious and powerful women who are bound to keep him on his toes, creating a tension between his gentle romanticism and a potential for powerful but unfulfilled desires.
Born November 22, 1984, Scarlett has the magnetism Ryan wants, but she is unlikely to live in a full-blown romantic fantasy for very long. Sagittarians tend to take chances and then move on. Scarlett's Mars -- the action planet -- is in independent Aquarius, which shows a need to chart her own course. Ryan's Mars in clingy Cancer can start to feel limiting to her, unless he's able to back off and give her the space she needs.
Scarlett's Venus is in earthy, sexual and dominating Capricorn, a pattern that can make it difficult for her to give up control, especially to Ryan, whose Venus stands a stressful 90 degrees away. The Moon changed signs on the day Scarlett was born, with the odds favoring its placement in Scorpio over Sagittarius at about two to one. If she's a Scorpio Moon, then her potential for staying in a demanding relationship increases. If she has the Moon in Sagittarius, Mr. Reynolds might as well start packing his bags now. Either way, she's a complex woman whose inner strength belies her angelic face, and she will require Ryan to toughen up and fight hard to keep her -- if that's what he wants.
