After being placed under the public eye thanks to Titanic, Leo DiCaprio could have decided to restrict himself to romantic hero roles. Such a risk was understandable owing to his Libra Ascendant, which endows him with his look, both gentle and pleasant. Fortunately, this very busy Air sign in the 1st House also strengthens his extreme plasticity. If there is one actor ever capable of embodying several characters, all utterly different from each other, it's him.
Indeed, before reviewing a few qualities pertaining to Libra, let's not forget that DiCaprio is a Scorpio, first and foremost, a sign which is of major influence since Pluto is indisputably the dominant of his chart. Thus, the glamourous movie star was able to shed his skin, like a phoenix, by taking on darker roles. Instead of remaining in his comfort zone or playing futile characters, he almost tried to put himself in danger. This is all the more relevant because his Moon in Libra conjuncts Pluto. This aspect reveals the ego of a justice-lover, and explains that humanitarian commitments are so important to him.
To sum up, it is impossible to pay attention only to Scorpio in DiCaprio's chart, and to oversee Libra's traits, and vice versa. Both signs describe the two pillars on which the whole chart is built. What is most astonishing is the almost perfect mirroring effect of those values, which are closely intertwined. Thus, the Sun-Venus conjunction would add weight to Libra, but it is posited in Scorpio, whereas the Ascendant in the 7th sign takes a Scorpionic tone and exerts his influence on the Moon, owing to the presence of Pluto in this House. Furthermore, the tight Mercury-Uranus conjunction gives a sharp, nervous and sometimes disturbing mind, which was often found in the characters he embodied. Since he is endowed with such an impressive range of various talents, it is not surprising that he became the favourite comedian of a director who represents the archetype of Scorpio: Martin Scorsese. The fact that they instinctively get along is certainly not a coincidence. Scorsese wittingly takes advantage of DiCaprio's passionate facets.

Finally, DiCaprio's chart shows darker touches which confirm that he undergoes feelings of loneliness despite his fame. If he had softer aspects, it is most likely that he would have already earned an Oscar. But he is not consensual enough. Fortunately for him, he can rely on a wonderful asset for his lifestyle: a trine linking his planets in Scorpio and his Saturn, which indicates that his success will stand the test of time, or even get better.

Luckily, as from the summer of 2013, he will experience an exceptional configuration, like many Water signs, above all thanks to the grand trine formed by Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and even the Moon North Node (for those interested in karmic astrology). This tremendously auspicious background should help him receive the rewards he deserves.
The other possibility is that he temporarily moves away from the stage, an indication provided by Saturn visiting his planets in Scorpio. This transit may explain why he is currently tired and why he needs to step back in order to gain wisdom and to concentrate on projects which are really meaningful to him. Before he comes back in the spotlight, of course.
