Analysis of Mark Ruffalo's astrological chart

Finally in the limelight after Spotlight won the Oscar for best film, Mark Ruffalo certainly basks in a well-deserved recognition. Indeed, albeit the actor harboured a passion for theatre for a long time, he built his career step by step without experiencing a meteoric rise to fame. This seems to match a nature which is clearly described by Virgo, the dominant sign of Ruffalo's natal chart, even though he is a Scorpio with a Sagittarius Ascendant.

Therefore, he displays a blend of modesty and of perfectionism but also of passion. This last characteristic is one of the rare common points linking Scorpio and Sagittarius, the former being more tormented in its expression, the latter, more optimistic and more dynamic.

However, it may be necessary to take a closer look at the main feature of the chart: a Midheaven (destiny, career) flanked by Pluto in the 9th House, and by Uranus in the 10th House. These planets are definitely more powerful than the others and give a real strike force with regard to the way Ruffalo positions himself in the social and professional field.

First of all, Uranus enables him to manage his life without paying attention to the general opinion, and to choose an unusual, original and nonconformist job. In his case, he was born in a family of modest Italian immigrants, far from the cinema world. Besides, Mark Ruffalo never hesitated to work as a barman until he rose to fame, which has been quite slow, as mentioned earlier.

But when Pluto is involved, the person possesses the required inner strength to achieve his most secrete ambitions. We notice that Mark Buffalo's Scorpio tendencies, as well as the Pluto-Uranus influence correspond to one of the roles which drew praises from both film critics and the public at large: in Zodiac, the thriller by David Fincher, released in 2007, Ruffalo plays with talent a relentless inspector. The story, based on real facts, recounts the track of a dangerous serial killer who gave a hard time to the police during a decade, from 1960 to 1070 in San Francisco.

Thanks to this role, Mark Ruffalo earned a legitimacy which helped him evolve towards more demanding parts, even though his successes remained irregular. We must not forget that Saturn opposite Neptune exposes him to cold showers once in a while. The planet, which symbolises time and patience, is the apex of a pattern called "Boomerang". It comprises the Moon, posited in the last degrees of Cancer, Uranus on the Midheaven, and the Sun at the border of Scorpio too. Although highly energetic, this aspect is very ambiguous, because it compels to curb one's enthusiasm in order to succeed.

In general, Mark Ruffalo is not the type to rest on his laurels or to give up. But this stern Saturn may have brought a few private problems. We particularly think of his brother who was shot dead, an accident which has never been completely elucidated, and inflicted hidden sufferings. It is most likely that this tragedy created the need to expel its stress through a public action. Indeed, he admitted that acting provokes an adrenaline surge in interviews given for the release of Avengers, a saga in which he plays Hulk, replacing Edward Norton. It must be said that this was a help from destiny in a rather quite Sagittarius style. "I received many criticisms when it was announced that I would take over the role. Many people were angry. They did not understand why I was chosen. I never had a role which retained so much attention even before the shooting started."

Fortunately for him, Mark Ruffalo experiences success more easily as he matures. He is eventually in harmony with his appearance, which matches the 9th sign, with his large trusting smile, and seeming ready to live life to the fullest.

In terms of feelings, the comedian has unsurprisingly developed the harmonious yet discreet tendencies of the planets which deal more particularly with this area of life. We notice the beautiful exact Sun-Moon trine, which strengthens his inner balance. Furthermore, Venus is well posited in Libra, the sign she rules, although she must reckon with Saturn (however, we underline that she is too far to belong to the Boomerang pattern). It is once more a mark of doubts or fears which might have held him back before he committed himself in a couple, because now he has been married and a happy father for a long time.

After a first return to himself last year, Jupiter continues his loop in Virgo, in 2016, explaining the triumph of Spotlight, to which Ruffalo contributed a great deal, as well as the release of Avengers 2. Therefore, we see that henceforth, he manages to play in two registers: demanding films and those which aim more at a mainstream public.

Jupiter transiting his Midheaven and the two surrounding planets, namely Pluto then Uranus, may bring about new and exciting prospects: this is most likely to occur in the summer of 2016. During the first half of 2016, the area involving the Sun and the Ascendant axis is very activated by Mars' loop, as Mars retrogrades from 18 April till mid-August, the moment when he will be back on his starting point. It may be the confirmation of Ruffalo's will to get things moving and to undertake. Since he is tempted by direction, it is probably him who will order "Camera... Action!"
