The Sign of Taurus and the Air Element Highlighted
Nicknamed The Rock, Dwayne Johnson has become a major actor in Hollywood. Born with the Sun in Taurus, he honours the physical hyper-power of this sign, a family heritage which comes from both men and women.
However, Johnson is not strongly influenced by Taurus, a sign tenanted only by the Sun. He is more marked by Air signs, as astonishing as it may be.
His Libra Ascendant indicates that people's opinion matters and that he wants to please and to exchange. It must be acknowledged that although wrestling is a sport, the show plays an essential role.
If we analyse the effect of this Ascendant, we note that Uranus in the 12th House puts his two cents worth and impacts Johnson's physical appearance. Uranus explains Johnson's need to use strange means to become noticed.
Mars Pulls the Strings
In the beginning, his career as a wrestler prompted him to confront many rivals, which is very typical of Mars' influence. Indeed, this planet, which stimulates the taste for fight is conjunct Venus, ruler of the Libra Ascendant and of the Sun in Taurus, spurs Johnson to use his masculinity as main argument.
As the Mars-Venus pair sends a trine to the Ascendant, it defines how Johnson positions himself in society, with energy but also with a great deal of charm.
In brief, after relentless beginnings, he achieved fame thanks to his wrestling successes and his cheerfulness, winning several world championship titles in the heavyweight category.
Gemini and Playfulness
In the natal chart, the sign of Gemini draws the attention. This is where Venus, the chart ruler, is posited, conjunct Mars as mentioned. And Gemini encourages diversity and curiosity.
In addition to the martial arts and American football Johnson practiced in college, he has always been torn between many passions.
At the end of the nineties, he started to spend time in circles involved in the cinema, being mainly a wrestler. The success he encountered incited him to progressively dedicate himself more seriously to the 7th art at the onset of the new millennium.
Mercury Among the Dominants
After having discovered two quite different worlds – high-level sport then cinema, although his physique was a common trait – Johnson added extra strings to his bow.
He authored a biography which stayed at the top of the New York Times best-seller list during several weeks, which fits his Gemini and Mercury sides. Indeed, Mercury in the 6th House but conjunct the Descendant is one of the dominants.
This planet strengthens the need for exchanges and indicates great mental agility and more intellectual qualities than Johnson's muscular body may suggest.
Stormy T-square
Johnson obviously excels in action films: The Net, The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King, then Furious, or Skyscraper. In the natal chart, the Venus-Mars duet is linked by a T-square to Pluto at the end of Virgo and to the Moon in Capricorn.
One might as well say that, given this pattern, the analysis of its influences is complex. Indeed, it is believed that a lot of energy is required to control T-Squares. The urge to seek challenges and demanding experiences is stronger than everything.
In Johnson's case, one might see an eruptive sensitivity which must find an outlet (Pluto) while staying in the background since the slightly austere Moon in Capricorn – though conjunct Jupiter here, tones down the whole tendency – holds backs her emotions. Precisely, one may think that Johnson's nickname, The Rock, comes from the Moon because this moderated austerity looks like phlegm or tranquillity.

Double-edged Forthcoming Transits
A great friend of Schwarzenegger, from whom he somehow takes over in Hollywood, will Johnson follow the same path as his distinguished predecessor? Time will tell.
Recently, the natal Moon in Capricorn was affected by transiting Saturn, and in the course of the winter of 2019, Jupiter too will be transited by Saturn. The planet ruling Capricorn has thus reinforced the need to be serious and perhaps the will to go into politics, who knows.
Nevertheless, the actor may have to put in a big effort to control his need to please when transiting Saturn sends a square to Uranus and the Ascendant in the spring of 2019.
In any case, Johnson is scheduled to star in King, by Robert Zemeckis, an epic compared to Braveheart, in which he is said to play the role of a Haitian king. A historic adventure film which matches the symbols of Capricorn.
