Leo-sun Dominant
Strong charisma, here is the two-word definition which immediately comes to mind concerning Vincent Cassel. The comedian is above all a person fired with enthusiasm.
Indeed, in the natal chart, this element amounts to over 60% compared with the three other elements, namely Earth, Air, and Water. It must also be underlined that the complete lack of Air reinforces his hothead tendencies and suggests difficulties in his communication style.
Let us begin with Cassel's Ascendant in Leo, a sign highlighted by a very strong Sun and the presence of Jupiter.
Born in a family of artists – his father, Jean-Pierre Cassel, was a quite famous comedian, while his sister Cécile and his brother Mathieu devote themselves to music – the actor is one of the most outstanding names of the French cinema. He is glamourous and has a reputation for being a real seducer. Both on-screen and in real life, he is accompanied by the most sought-after ladies.
An Impulsive Moon in Aries and a Powerful Mars
With the Moon in Aries, Cassel does not hesitate to let his liking for roles of bad boys or tormented men slightly tarnish his image as a "heir". He is a physical actor who is not afraid to get into a fight.
We all remember that he made a name for himself in La Haine (Hate) by Mathieu Kassovitz and earned the César award for Best Actor in 1995. It was the first time a film showed violence in the French suburbs. Cassel's astonishing, even incredible performance won him the acclaim of both the public and critics despite any controversy stirred up.
It must be noted that the Moon, always impulsive in Aries, points to a powerful Mars who gives aggressive tendencies, especially when he conjuncts Uranus and Pluto, this group being opposed to Saturn.
This conjunction, believed to be a difficult one, is found in the chart of many people born during the years 1965-1966 and enables Cassel to embody the major concerns of his contemporaries. A nice feat for this Sagittarius who is among the rebels of the sign. It reinforces Cassel's drive and capacity to lead people, thanks to his flamboyant enthusiasm.
Sagittarius' Taste for Adventure and Jupiter's Support
Nevertheless, in Cassel's case, Sagittarius is expressed through the taste for faraway lands. For instance, it is well-known that he had a lasting crush for Brazil, where he lives part of the year. To his eyes, this country is not only synonymous with beaches and easy life. He adopted the local culture, its language and its music.
Previously, still in the travel department, he won over the American cinema and participated in major productions such as for example Ocean's Thirteen or Black Swan, in which he plays a nasty man. In brief, Leo allied with Sagittarius gives a wide wingspread. Moreover, Jupiter trine the Sun indicates that Cassel should be blessed with considerable good luck throughout his life.
In so far as his destiny is linked to foreign countries, Cassel may expect to accumulate successes, shifting from one culture to another with ease. Actually, owing to his international career, he was the highest-paid actor this year.
It is obvious that the planet will bring about consequences due to its excesses, because it is mitigated in the natal 12th House (the House of ordeals and sometimes enemies). Cassel must learn to stop biting off more than he can chew, otherwise he may undergo a few disappointments.
Neptune's Commitment
We shall now deal with Mercury conjunct Neptune in the last degrees of Scorpio, another interesting planetary duet which enables Cassel to create a synergy between his business sense and his marked idealism.
Both planets positively take charge of the energies of the trio formed by Mars, Uranus and Pluto in Virgo and of the influence of Saturn in Pisces. Even though Cassel has not planned any recipe or career strategy, he is naturally in phase with the humanistic trends of his day. Major causes such as sustainable development and ecology may strike a chord with him and prompt him to commit himself.
Optimistic Venus in Sagittarius
In his private life, although Cassel is a born rebel, he draws a great deal of attention. He formed an emblematic and idealised couple with Monica Bellucci.
They split several years ago, and Cassel remarried in the summer of 2018 with Tina Kunaky, a model of mixed origins who is 30 years his junior.
French and Togolese, born with the Sun in the Fire sign of Aries, she seems to totally match the typical profile of the female which he finds attractive. She is a gorgeous foreigner (natal Moon in the 9th House), with Venus tightly conjunct the Sun in early Sagittarius.

Auspicious Transits in 2018
Cassel enjoys Jupiter's transit on natal Mercury and Neptune, a context which sets a romantic ambiance and heralds moves.
Since he just got married, he is most likely to experience a prolonged honeymoon in every corner of the world! Besides, the release of the film The World Is Yours – a really perfect title for his personality – already seems to be a triumph.
