Sagittarians are some of the fastest shooting stars of the zodiac. This Fire Sign prefers life in the fast lane, fulfilling their destiny in big leaps and bounds. Up-and-coming actors Adam Brody, Milla Jovovich and Amanda Seyfried are gifted Sagittarians whose careers are on the rise. Let's take a look at their charts to see what makes them so special.
Adam Brody (December 15, 1979)
Dubbed by the Los Angeles Times as "TV's sexiest geek," Brody rose to teen-idol status from his unabashedly nerdy role in the TV series The OC. Astrologically, he's an intriguing the mix of ingenuous and complicated. A Sun-Neptune conjunction makes him a gifted actor. But he's not the usual freewheeling Sag, instead, a Sun-Saturn square gives him a serious, practical side. Multiple Earth placements -- Venus in Capricorn and Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in Virgo -- heighten this pragmatism. The Virgo influences indicate a gift for analysis and the need to feel useful. Actually, he has the chart of a teacher. Using his skills as an actor, Brody has volunteered with the Young Storytellers Program, which works with children to develop literacy, self-expression and self-esteem. In his career, the Earth emphasis gives his acting a touch of realism.
The complicated part of Brody comes from an emotional Moon in Scorpio. The guy is intense! He's also secretive and sensitive. Brody said he embraced his neurotic side when he moved to Hollywood. That's Moon in Scorpio talking. On the plus side, this influence is the sexy side of nerdiness. On the downside, Scorpio and Capricorn influences can create some monumental control issues in relationships. Venus in Cap says Brody prefers an older partner who is purposeful and down-to-earth, but he may get involved with someone much younger so he can be in charge. Still, his complex nature gives him more depth to draw upon as an artist.
Milla Jovovich (December 17, 1975)
Best known as the star of the Resident Evil films, Jovovich was born on a Full Moon, which gives her a changeable, outgoing personality. Sun in Sag and Moon and Mars in Gemini indicate she's a wild-child -- restless, brainy and opinionated. In other words, she's a handful. The mutable-sign emphasis gives her an unusual versatility, too. The Ukrainian-born beauty began modeling at age 11 and went on to become an actress, musician and fashion designer, not to mention one of the highest paid supermodels working today. If it weren't for Mercury in Capricorn, which gives her a practical streak and some ambition, she'd be too flighty to accomplish as much as she has.
Adding to her determination is Venus in Scorpio. In romance, Jovovich is intense, passionate and prone to jealously. Mars in Gemini says she can be fickle. She enjoys a partner who's a good communicator and who shares her need to explore new territories. She needs plenty of freedom, too. Jovovich is twice divorced. She married British filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson, who wrote and directed Resident Evil, in August 2009.
Amanda Seyfried (December 3, 1985)
With Sun conjunct Uranus in Sagittarius, this wide-eyed cutie is precocious! Like Jovovich, Seyfried began her career as a model at age 11. She has appeared on numerous TV shows, but is best known for her humorous role as the dimwitted Karen Smith in the 2004 film Mean Girls, and for co-starring alongside Meryl Streep in the 2008 film Mamma Mia!
A close conjunction of Venus, Mercury and Saturn in Sagittarius add to her versatility. The Saturn influence says she has a serious side, especially when it comes to her art. She's a natural teacher, too. And like many Sags, her spiritual life is (or will be) crucial to her wellbeing.
With all she's accomplished as an entertainer, it's not surprising the 23-year-old has Moon in Leo, the sign of entertainment. She's warmhearted, loyal and generous. Her family is important to her. But most of all, her creativity is what feeds her emotionally. The Leo influence says she needs plenty of attention, too. In romance, Venus in Sag indicates an outgoing love nature that craves freedom. Mars in Libra heightens her love of beauty, equality and harmony. All in all, this young Archer is definitely a rising star.
With their enthusiasm, optimism and generosity, it's no wonder that Sagittarians are often blessed with success at an early age, in whatever field they choose.
