Analysis of Gerard Butler's astrological chart

Would Gerard Butler be one of the people who are believed to have an iron fist in a velvet glove? Unless it is the contrary, at times, meaning a heart of gold beneath tough manners. The question remains open, but in any case, this is what comes to mind when summing up the astrological portrait of this man born with the Sun in Scorpio and the Ascendant in Libra.

At first glance, the Libra side, supported by a strong Venus dominant, gives him the pleasant look of a placid seducer. Nonetheless, he remains a spirited and caustic actor who takes advantage of his masculinity. He carefully harnesses his assets in comedies in which he doggedly seduces his partners, such as for instance Katherine Heigl (on the screen) or Jennifer Aniston (both on the screen and in real life, at least for some time). In those comedies, he successfully interprets a Bounty hunter ready for anything in order to take his ex-wife to court, or a specialist in human resources who pursues a stressed producer in The Ugly truth. In a word, as we have understood, in his films, Gerard Butler does not intend to revolutionise the world with striking messages. He prefers to give us a good time by using the resources of the action, often with the romantic option as a bonus. And the public appreciates him for this! But he has more than one string to his bow, since he can also sing, an art matching very well his Libra Ascendant, as demonstrated in one of his most famous parts, The phantom of the Opera.

In 2014 again, for the 8th consecutive year, the actor is at the head of the rankings released in September by Londres Weekly. He has also been elected the sexiest actor of the world. Enough! Everything is obvious, because in his chart, Venus rules the Ascendant and forms many contacts from the 1st House. Therefore, the impact of his physique is far from insignificant. Moreover, Venus is conjunct Jupiter (although with a wide orb), and brings about more than average good luck. This is probably why this Scot, born quite far from Hollywood, finally did not have to put on too many efforts in order to impose himself across the Atlantic, as if he had always been familiar with the Hollywood codes.

Furthermore, Venus is in harsh aspect with Mars, like an echo to the basic Libra-Scorpio duality, the Ascendant and the Sun sign, since these two planets are related to those signs (Venus and Mars are in their domicile, respectively). Venus also opposes Saturn in the 7th House, probably complicating Butler’s attitude towards his partners in his private and professional life. In other words, despite attractiveness, he may behave as a distrustful man reluctant to marry, or perhaps, he must gain maturity before he can understand who he is and what he expects from his partner. It is worth noting that, maybe to strengthen this astrological challenge, Mars squares Venus on the one hand, and Saturn on the other hand. In the 4th House and in Aquarius, this tense Mars paradoxically makes Butler restless and surprisingly unstable regarding the way he deals with his roots or when he starts a family, possibly with the help of the perfect trine of Uranus, an energy provider. In short, if this psychological feature is not transcended, we can easily suppose that he tends to discourage more than a woman willing to spend her entire life with him!

However, he feels a strong need for stability. His Scottish origins fit with the position of the Moon, serious and even tinged with austerity, in Capricorn, trine Saturn. While he seldom opens up, he is actually faithful and hates the superficial values of vainglory.

In his private life and in his career, Gerard Butler counterbalances his vulnerability vis-à-vis people (Libra Ascendant) by emphasising his East hemisphere. Therefore, he feels the urge to assert himself, and he takes his decisions mainly according to his own objectives. As a result, he is very self-sufficient and well-equipped to follow his life path. One must not forget, considering this portrait sketch, that his Sun is also conjunct Mercury, which endows him with sharp brains.

Currently, he is still under the favourable influence of Jupiter, entered in the spring of 2014 in his 10th House (the career). In Leo during the second semester and during the first semester of 2015, Jupiter will keep on boosting his reputation and his popularity. It must be underlined that this planet forms a nice aspect with transiting Uranus arriving in the 7th House. An excellent omen for good contracts! Besides, Butler has numerous projects. Simultaneously, he progressively frees himself from the always heavy transit of Saturn on his Sun-Mercury conjunction in Scorpio. He will certainly experience one last retrogradation next summer, and there, Jupiter will get involved too. One last effort will be necessary in order to gain wisdom. In his chart, we also find the confirmation of his present renown, since last year the progressed Sun was transiting his natal Moon, and later the progressed Moon will reach the House of career (MC) by late 2015. It is most likely that successes will abound.
