All about Russell Crowe
Birth details: 7th April 1964
Russell Crowe was born under an Aries Sun. The presence of this fiery sign floods Crowe's chart - both his Mars (Planet of Passion) and his Jupiter (Planet of Luck) reside in Aries as well. Aries is sometimes dubbed the Sign of the Warrior; could this have something to do with Russell's attraction to the role of Maximus, the Roman general who is wronged and rises up as a hero in Gladiator? Probably so, it even better explains the actor's reputation as being a little hard to handle - Aries is symbolised by the Ram, and those born under its influence tend to use that Ram energy to butt heads with anyone and everyone who gets in their way.
Russell's Mercury, the Planet of Communication, lies in more steady, Earthy Taurus. This is a fortunate influence as it brings a grounded calm to his Aries fire. Those with Mercury in Taurus are given to practical thinking and common sense. They possess sound judgment that takes everything, including financial prudence, into consideration during any decision-making process. No wonder Crowe has made such good career choices for himself. Even in interviews his communication style is typical of the headstrong Bull: he has been known to leave an interview due to 'boredom', seeing no reason to stick around when things aren't going to his liking. He also has stated in no uncertain terms his refusal to ever consider moving to Hollywood. His farm in the Australian bush suits him just fine, thank you very much, and the down-to-earth Down Under is much more to his liking than glittery Tinseltown.
His Mars and Jupiter in Aries further explain Russell's blunt interviewing style. Jupiter, Planet of Luck, in Aries makes him outspoken, even zealous. He says what he means and not one word more. Mars, the Planet of Passion, in Aries signifies that Russell is a man of direct action. Could this intensity and impatience help explain his pulling the pistol on the poor film crew member? Probably so. It may even better explain his tangling with married lady Meg Ryan. He saw what he wanted and he went after it - well, her - without a thought for the consequences.
His Venus resides in Gemini, an Air Sign given to mercurial changes of mood and fancy. This placement of the Planet of Love may not bode well for Russell's romantic relationships; it signifies he's an individual who may find it hard to settle down. This Gemini love influence is further exacerbated by Crowe's Venus Square Uranus, which can result in a hectic love life, and his Venus Square Saturn, which often inhibits romantic expression. Like others with their Venus in chatty, airy Gemini, however, he is bound to be charming, friendly and witty towards whichever lady (momentarily) catches his fancy.
As Venusalso rules Money as well as Love, its position in Gemini in his chart may mean Crowe has a tendency to spend those Australian dollars a bit frivolously. No matter, this Hollywood star is on the rise, and he's bound to keep securing well-paying roles for a long time to come.
