Renee Zellweger
Star sign: Taurus
With her Sun in Taurus, Renee is a practical, steady and determined type. She exhibits an earthy sensuality and is likely to be very affectionate, generous and probably somewhat possessive of her loved ones. Due to her grounded, practical nature, her friends are likely to rely on her to provide good advice. Those born under the warm light of a Taurus Sun are similar to the Bull that symbolises their Sign - sturdy like a rock. Taurus is all about self-indulgence and can tend toward laziness as a result, but the Conjunction between her Sun and Saturn, the Taskmaster Planet, ensures that she works hard and is instilled with a natural sense of duty.
Her Communication Planet, Mercury, also in Taurus emphasises and underscores the practicality and stubborn persistence of her Sun Sign. With this placement, Renee is likely to be a patient, practical thinker who relies on her common sense to make the right decision. She may be motivated by her desire for financial and material security; Taurus is a very possession-oriented Sign that likes to know who, what and how much it has on its side. Mercury in Taurus might indicate that Zellweger is not a very innovative thinker, as progressive ideas and risk-taking aren't in Taurus's nature; however, two Mercury aspects indicate that she actually has quite an astute, perceptive mind. Mercury Trines both Jupiter and Pluto in her chart, which endows Renee with wisdom and intelligence. Sound judgment and shrewd mental powers combine to give Renee a unique ability to judge the outcomes of her actions; these aspects work together to help her achieve incredible success in her life.
With her Moon in Leo, her Venus in Aries and her Mars in Sagittarius, Renee has plenty of Fire in her chart to spice up that Earthy Sun and Mercury. Her Leo Moon indicates someone who is quite dramatic about her emotions; especially as paired with her Aries Venus, Zellweger lives and loves large. She follows her emotional impulses and, due to Leo's influence, is generous and demonstrative with the people she loves. These Planetary placements pair up with her contented Taurus Sun to make for a very sunny, albeit a bit self-centered, temperament.
Venus, the Love Planet, in Aries is a very spicy placement that leads Renee to fall in love quickly. She might start an affair based on an immediate, gut reaction to a person - and then awaken with a snort, wondering just who this person is that she's got involved with. Consequently, Venus in Aries can lead to short-lived, tempestuous romances; however, Renee's Venus Trines Mars, which underscores her Taurean love of commitment and stability in a relationship and promotes marital harmony. So, even though it didn't work out between her and Jim Carrey ... she's bound to have a successful relationship with someone else, because the confluence of her Earth and Fire Planets makes for a very sensual, sexy and alluring person.
Renee is also likely to be a rather stubborn person; with her first three Planets in Fixed Signs (Taurus and Leo), she is very self-reliant, purposeful and determined, which can translate easily into a bossy mentality. Three Fixed Planets is a real boon for her career, however; they create the kind of focus and determination needed to continue on her path despite any obstacles. With Mars, her Passion Planet, in Sagittarius, Zellweger is ardent, restless and adventurous - and quite morally courageous. She has an idealistic side and her actions back up her beliefs.
A Mars-Pluto Square could be an indication of tendencies toward a ruthless or even violent nature, but this is probably far from the truth in Renee's case. Jupiter, her Luck Planet, lies in Virgo and is Conjunct Uranus and Sextile Neptune. These placements show that Zellweger is happiest when she is doing good work, when she is involved in something that she feels benefits the greater good. She is a philanthropist who reaps the rewards of helping out those less fortunate than herself; with her Sagittarius Mars and the Jupiter-Uranus Conjunction, she is also a free thinker whose mind is tuned in to higher vibrations. With such a fortunate birth chart, it's no wonder she rose to fame from obscurity so quickly, and it looks like her star will continue to shine.
