Analysis of Peter Dinklage's astrological chart

He is a sex-symbol, but an atypical sex-symbol. Indeed, as millions of fans of Game of Thrones are aware, he is the dwarf bastard of Lannister, one of the heroes of the series. A short-sized person – his growth stopped at 1,35 m – Peter Dinklage certainly never thought he would reach this status. When he was younger, he had to overcome his complexes with regard to his comrades. This has probably been difficult, because he was drawn to sports particularly.

Fortunately for Dinklage, the mutable Element in his horoscope has a rating of 63,4%. This means that his adaptation capacities to all situations is above average. Lively, always on the move, he probably instinctively knows what needs to be changed whenever a problem arises. With the Sun in Gemini and the Ascendant in Pisces, his personality is an odd blend of the desire to get in touch with his fellow creatures in a simple and direct manner, and a perhaps more mysterious way to confide in others.

In any case, polyvalence is the common feature shared by these dissimilar signs. One way or another, people like Dinklage always get back on their feet. For instance, after having confessed that he used to harbour dark thoughts during his adolescence, always because of his different appearance as mentioned above, he chose to firmly take charge of his destiny and to shoot for the stars. He wanted very early to start a career as an actor, although he was not born in a family of performers. His father was an insurance broker, and his mother was a music teacher; she might have given him the taste for an artistic activity.

He is clever and manages to grab special roles suiting his height, often to represent supernatural characters. He is first noticed for his part in the film The Station Agent, in which he plays a sullen dwarf who inherits a remote railway station. Awarded at Sundance in 2003, the film enabled him to make a name for himself with connoisseurs. In 2008, with The Caspian Prince, the second episode of the saga The Chronicles of Narnia, he achieved international stature. The fact remains that one configuration of his chart brings about a dash of fighting spirit that a typical Gemini-Pisces may not have otherwise. We are referring to the T-Square linking the Sun to a trio of slow-moving planets in Virgo, i.e. Pluto, Jupiter, and Uranus (conjunct the Descendant), and to the Midheaven.

We observe that the powerful potential of those planets connected to the angle symbolising the career, as well as to the angle of relationships, gives him the drive to rise to the top. This pattern is extremely dynamic and prompts Dinklage to persevere despite the hurdles which may crop up.

One also notes that Neptune, intuition, and Mercury, intellectual swiftness, form harmonious aspects with the T-Square, and thus soften it. Dinklage quickly understands when he goes too far, and he makes amendments. As a result, he turns possible inter-personal tensions into assets which help him progress.

Although he believed for a long time that he was recruited for his looks, Dinklage tried to correct the situation by carefully selecting his films, so as not to be stuck in the same type of roles. Afterwards, the incredible success of Game of Thrones probably contributed to make him feel at peace with his image once for all.

After having stressed the contradictions which challenged his career, we must underline that the border between the profession and the private life is clearly marked off in the natal chart. There is an additional trio, among which two fast slow-moving planets this time, the Moon and Venus, are very close to Saturn in Taurus. All these hints concur to indicate a deep need for affective stability.

With this bond, Saturn shows that Dinklage probably suffered from anxieties when dealing with females. Anyway, he finally met the woman with whom he was able to build something rock-solid, Erica Schmidt, a theatre manager with whom he shares emotional affinities (the Moon), and who also attracts him sensually (Venus). The spouses have been married for twelve years now and are the happy parents of a six-year old daughter.

In the area of beliefs, it is worth mentioning that Dinklage has been campaigning for vegetarianism since the age of 16. His love for animals urged him to make this choice. Traditional astrology considers that a strong Venus, or Venus in Taurus, partially explains such a behaviour. In domicile, the planet endows the person with deep gentleness – provided Venus is not challenged. Actually, Dinklage declares that he is just unable to harm an animal, even indirectly.

In the course of 2017, Saturn will transit the natal Midheaven in the late degrees of Sagittarius. The aspect will be exact in November and December, with a foretaste in spring, followed by a retrogradation in summer. Therefore, it seems that the period will be a time for assessment for Dinklage.

It is inevitable to draw a parallel with the scheduled termination of Game of Thrones (not yet effective, since the 8th season will be released in 2018). However, the ambiance of the upstream filming is perhaps already affected. Dinklage may feel that a cycle is ending.

He will have to handle this bend with a great deal of wisdom, for transiting Saturn will activate a sensitive spot of the natal chart – one of the components of the T-Square mentioned above – and therefore will send a tough aspect to the trio in Virgo as well as to the Sun.

From a distance, it is easy to imagine that the simple fact of starting new projects after a series which has impressed so much the audiences during the past years, will be taxing. When Saturn will transit Capricorn, he will be much more auspicious for the planets in Taurus ruling Dinklage's affective life. This may enable him in 2018 to experience more comfortably the end of Game of Thrones.
