Star Sign: Libra

Born under a Libra sun, Gwyneth's got class. She's tasteful, refined, always well-dressed and highly companionable. Gwyneth is most at home in social situations, charming others with her wry eye and quick wit. She also seeks peace and harmony - there's never a ruffled feather in her world. Since the actress' Sun sits in the middle of a Stellium (a series of conjunctions among three or more Planets) alongside Mercury, Uranus and Pluto in Libra, considerable energy is being cast upon her Libran qualities, making them even more pronounced.

In a nutshell, the actress will flourish in the company of others. She will feel most complete when in a relationship, as much of her identity stems from a loving partnership. Finally, the Sun's conjunction to Pluto tells us that this lady knows her power. With the Sun speaking to the father planet, it's also likely that Gwyneth identifies strongly with her director dad and that he has a great influence on her life.

Thanks to her Moon in Gemini, Gwyneth is wonderfully versatile and can easily handle two projects, jobs - even lovers - at once. Because both her Sun and Moon are in Air Signs, Gwyneth is smart and quick-witted - she was a natural choice for her role in Shakespeare in Love. No wonder she received an Oscar. With Mercury in pleasing Libra, Gwyneth is once again the life and soul of the party, forever saying the right thing and dazzling others with her eloquence.

Having Venus, the planet of love, in Leo, tells us Gwyneth was born to portray the warm-hearted, romantic and charming characters that she's played onscreen. She is flirtatious but also graceful and intelligent, and she's skilled at making her poise seem effortless. Leo's influence makes for someone generous and affectionate, yet attention-seeking: Gwyneth probably adores being adored.

Her high-profile relationship with Brad Pitt didn't last - did her theatrical personality and need for attention prove to be too much for her more direct and above-board Sagittarian lover? Thankfully, her break ups with Pitt and later, Affleck, ended amicably. Leos, though fickle and self-centred in love, are incredibly open-hearted and open-minded. No wonder rumours abound that her relationship with Affleck still flares up from time to time: his Leo Sun and her Venus in Leo match up well. Whether as friends or lovers, these two will be connected forever.

With Mars in Virgo, Gwyneth's drive regarding her work is summed up in one word: perfection. She's practical and steady, able to zero in on the details that will equal her success. Work is serious business for Gwyneth, and she wants to get it right. Since her Mars is at odds with Jupiter in Capricorn, Gwyneth is highly competitive and needs to be 'The One', although she'll get there in the classiest of ways.
