Analysis of Gary Oldman's astrological chart

Who's afraid of Gary Oldman? Over the course of his long career, the British comedian became a specialist in playing mean or marginal characters. For instance, he embodied Count Dracula, the rebellious godfather of Harry Potter, a sadistic cop in The Professional by Luc Besson, and many other equally disturbing personages. Cinephiles consider that Oldman is capable of incredible transformations and that he is perhaps one of the best actors of his generation.

Born on the day of the spring equinoxe when the Sun entered Aries, Oldman encapsulates the primary energy and the spontaneity of the first sign. In addition to the Sun, a few degrees further, Mercury and the Moon form a remarkable pair. The association of the zodiac's fastest planets increases Oldman's emotional and intellectual responsiveness. Oldman reacts to the slightest stimuli quite instinctively. He is marked by outstanding plasticity and by unswerving adaptability. This is why, even though his life was not mapped out in advance, Oldman rapidly made a breakthrough in the field of theatre and cinema.

He was born in a south-eastern suburb of London, in a rather poor district. He grew up without a father - an alcoholic who disappeared from his environment - and was raised by women. This is the influence of the Cancer Ascendant which moderates the ardour of Aries by giving a more subtle, almost feminine touch to the personality. Since a very young age, he displayed the perfect blend of these two zodiacal components. Indeed, he was very fond of sports but also of music and of comedy.

Not too interested in studies, he showed a precocious calling and took drama classes in a renowned school. Although it might not have been the school he wished for, it enabled him to hone his skills in his favourite field. Once again, he was driven by all the fire of Aries and all the finesse of Cancer. He is quickly noticed, first by his teachers, then by theatre directors. Soon he played several roles of the classic repertoire, one after the other, and won many prizes. Undoubtedly, Mercury and the Moon in the 10th House participated in this precocious blooming, although not without friction, since Mercury and the Moon challenge the Ascendant. Nevertheless, they simultaneously send a nice trine to Uranus. As a result, the actor is both startling and appealing. He flouts the rules and proprieties.

Soon, the cinema was interested in Oldman. He applied for the lead role of Sid and Nancy, which he got, although Daniel Day-Lewis has been initially approached. What follows is well-known. Oldman managed to display the full range of his talents in British thrillers, working with the best directors like Stephen Frears. His performances opened the doors of Hollywood where he won over most important persons, for instance Oliver Stone or Francis Ford Coppola. The 90's worked out extremely well for Oldman.

Although he keeps on gathering successes and now lives in California, Oldman seldom pours his heart out. He prefers to protect his private life, which is easily guessed to be both intense and chaotic. He married four times, yielding to the charm of mannequins, and he even was for two years the spouse of his partner, a star-to-be, much younger than him, the gorgeous Uma Thurman.

Unfortunately, Oldman also had a dark side. Like his father, he experienced crises of addiction to alcohol, which he was fortunate enough to get rid of after a treatment for alcoholism. This prompts the astrologer to examine Oldman's natal Neptune. In the chart, the planet conjuncts the North Node and Jupiter in Scorpio, which promises the best and worst. Because Neptune is among the dominants, he is indisputably the cause of Oldman's mysterious magnetism, which at the same time brings about periods of uncertainties or other downwards spirals.

Since the last trimester of 2017, and in the beginning of 2018, Oldman has been benefitting from the passage of Jupiter in Scorpio. The planet first transited natal Neptune and the North Node, then sent a trine to the Ascendant in Cancer, which enabled him to exploit the Water energies of the chart. It is not surprising that this coincided with the release of the film Darkest Hours, in which he plays a breathtaking Winston Churchill. After having won a Golden Globe, among other awards, Oldman is in an excellent position for the Oscar race.

It must be underlined that he is also enjoying Neptune's lengthy transit in the 10th House. This phenomenom is supported by the natal link to Jupiter which was formed for the first time in December 2017. It will recur in May and August to the rhythm of Jupiter's retrogradation cycle. In any case, the overall climate is very auspicious. Being posited in early Aries, the Sun is not affected any more by the transit of Uranus and the square of Pluto. However, the drawback is that this latter slow-moving planet is still challenging natal Mercury (not any more the Moon since a few months).

The chances are high that the 2018 vintage will be of great significance for Oldman.
