Analysis of Harrison Ford's astrological chart

Could the best embodiment of the adventurer, the stuntman, as well as the fearless and irreproachable scout be a person having the Sun in Cancer? The answer is yes, as evidenced by the case of Harrison Ford.

Born in a middle-class American family, the star-to-be first experienced an unsteady rise. At some point, he even chose to become a carpenter, a job he did while looking for minor roles in vain. But the hand of Destiny enabled him to get carpentry work (!) from a young and still unknown director named George Lucas...

This was about the first steps of the actor, a man who gave the impression to remain a Cancer, lacking confidence and slightly introverted. However, the sign shelters many planets, including the Sun and the Moon, and is highlighted by the Midheaven – the angle related to the career – tightly flanked by Mercury and Jupiter. In other words, the planets symbolizing communication as well as exchanges, and good luck and expansion, respectively, are joining hands to take Ford to glory. Moreover, the accent on the 4th sign, with Jupiter and the Moon in the 10th House, foretells that his success is brought about by the public. It is difficult to imagine a combination which guarantees more popularity, in every meaning of the term. On the one hand, the actor, who broke through in Star Wars, has been collecting blockbusters since the seventies, without becoming boring. But these movies aim at mass entertainment rather than performance as such. This might be why Ford was not readily acknowledged by his peers, was seldom nominated for Oscars, and had to wait a long time for prestigious awards.

Having said this, it is worth underlining the extent to which the character of Indiana Jones possesses Ford's astrological traits. An enthusiastic professor and archeologist, a real bookworm, he strives to free himself from his father's grip. He went through a difficult adolescence, separated from his mother and immediately exposed to unexpected dangers: everything a typical Cancer detests! Indy will have to learn to fight and to overcome his phobia of reptiles. He obviously cannot find the peace he aspires to, and similarly, he fails to earn the respect of his father. Actually, he is nicknamed "Junior" throughout the story, despite the challenges finally taken up with success.

Clinging to his habits like an old bachelor, it is almost without realizing it that Indiana Jones lets himself be involved in frantic adventures. Thus, the parallel with Ford seems clear. He is also an emotional man, attached to his roots, and fascinated by marks of the past. It is probable that he would have been good in archeology, a discipline he finds exciting. In his private life, he hates scandals and mulls over criticisms.

In addition to his Sun sign, Libra on the Ascendant must have its say. It reinforces the affective vulnerability, the need to please and to avoid shocking other people. Harrison Ford is considerate, refined, and charming. In real life and on the screen, he is always sprucely-dressed. Thanks to him, Indy's outfit will never go out of fashion. With his Fedora hat, his khaki shirt, and his beige trousers, he is always impeccable! Furthermore, Venus, the Ascendant ruler, is in Gemini. Well, well, well, Harrison Ford has a mobile and intellectual facet. Any tendency to flirt is irrelevant, because the planet is in the wake of Saturn, who adds some seriousness to his commitments. But Ford needs to feel strongly connected mentally and intellectually stimulated. Words and the mind come first in his expectations. He is unlikely to stand boredom and dull persons.

Harrison Ford is modest like many Cancers, and never boasts about his extraordinary career. Being an actor is nothing more than a profession, as he often told the media. Although it took him time to assert himself, as years went by, he became unavoidable. In addition, his Mercury-Jupiter pair, which rules his social status, endows him with a good head for business. This is in line with the fee he got for the role of Han Solo in the 7th episode of Star Wars. He is supposed to have earned 24 million dollars. But above all, a profit-sharing agreement may double this figure, according to observers.

In his defence, it is highly possible that Harrison Ford dedicates some of his revenues to causes larger than him or his family. A committed Democrat, an environment activist, he uses his fame to attempt to improve the world. His horoscope describes a "nice fellow" who does not hesitate to commit himself. Indeed, the cardinal mode is prevailing and all the planets are in the Southern hemisphere, which suggests an action-oriented temperament, especially in the public sphere.

After a period of several years during which he took a back seat, Harrison Ford seems to enjoy being in the centre stage again. Currently, he is strongly protected by a nice Neptune transiting his 6th House (work), who was in good aspect with Mercury, and then formed a trine with Jupiter in late 2015. The planet will keep on supporting his Cancer values. Transiting Jupiter in Virgo evokes a partially positive end of a cycle, since he is connected to the key-points in Cancer.

The major problem remains the square of Pluto in the natal 4th House and of Uranus in the 7th House. When activated by certain transits, this aspect may be baleful. This was the case on 6 March 2015, when Ford had an impressive accident – while piloting his plane – which could have been fatal. At that time, Mars too was transiting Aries and about to conjunct Uranus. We can see that the orb with the natal planets in Cancer was not exact. Nevertheless, the transit was alarming. Fortunately, more fear than harm. It must be borne in mind that the situation remains quite thorny in early 2016.
