Analysis of Sean Penn's astrological chart

It may be odd that an actor such as Sean Penn was born with the Sun in Leo, a sign which usually strives to please as many people as possible, because, in the course of his prolific career, he seems to have preferred committed films to blockbusters.

It is necessary to go through the list of his achievements in order to better understand the royal side which was very clearly expressed despite his choices. He earned two Best Actor awards, after having been nominated several times, and a score of other prizes at prestigious festivals such as Cannes, Venice, or Berlin, as well as a Golden Globe... He definitely received the recognition he was undoubtedly running after.

However, let us keep it secret! First of all, his Sun conjunct Uranus prompts him to always show up in places where is not expected to be. He wants to startle, and he enjoys going against the tide while actually, he seeks absolute freedom. This is probably why he loved to play personages who stand up for minority groups such as homosexuals ("Harvey Milk", his Oscar, precisely).

Several configurations explain the more tortured facets of his personality. The Moon in Cancer, quite strong since she is in her domicile, forms three aspects which are to be reckoned with. The opposition to Saturn brings about some degree of melancholia and difficulties in controlling his emotions. On the other hand, the sextile to Pluto and the trine to Neptune alleviate the issue. As a result, Penn has amazing resources. Although he may be down in the dumps, and sometimes on the verge of depression, he is always able to pick himself up. The emphasis on the Water element endows him with empathy and the need to be appreciated, which mitigates the Fire element, also quite powerful.

Owing to the Ascendant in Sagittarius with Jupiter, who reigns in the 1st House, Sean Penn needs to express his generosity in order to exist. He comes across as an optimistic person, curious and open-minded. This Jupiter-Sagittarius combination gives him a strong interest in what takes place at the other end of the world. He was in Haiti in 2010, after the earthquake, on behalf of a relief institution. It was not only a symbolic gesture, for he immediately set up a non-profit organisation for the reconstruction of the island, a project he followed up closely. These features of his personality perfectly illustrate a good Fire-Water association.

In addition to the actions carried out as a committed citizen, Sean Penn also displays other aspects of his Fire temperament. He is an accomplished sportsman who needs his share of adrenaline. At the age of 54, he is often seen unwinding, jogging, or on a beach. He obviously likes the sun, as he is a very representative Leo...

There are many things to say on Sean Penn the seducer. In this area too, his career started early. He was credited with a host of love affairs with actresses popular in Hollywood, and no one has forgotten that he formed a glamorous couple with Madonna in the eighties. How such a person, who probably had to overcome a few complexes during childhood (Saturn opposite the Moon in Cancer), could have possibly resisted a star like Madonna? Even though he was fascinated by this woman who had the upper hand, he rapidly became disenchanted when he saw that their tandem aroused the attention of paparazzi... This was the source of fights, in which this sanguine and Marsian temperament got involved more than once. As if he loved to hit photographers or to demolish hotel rooms! It is also interesting to note that the women whom he appreciates are often flattering mirrors reflecting his own image. They are blond, famous, and born with the Sun in a Fire sign. After Madonna, there was Robin Wright (Aries), Scarlett Johansson (Sagittarius), and last but not least, Charlize Theron, whom he seems deeply in love with, is a Leo like him. Nevertheless, he ought to be careful and beware of the tough and exact square linking his Venus and Mars in his natal chart. This aspect endows him with undeniable sex-appeal but urges him to yield to volcanic passions.

Will he be able to experience a harmonious relationship with an established star, over the years? The future will tell. In any case, Sean Penn has already benefitted from Jupiter's transit, his best ally because he rules the Ascendant in Cancer, let us remind it, on his Moon and in the 7th House. All the ingredients were gathered for an encounter with a woman with whom he may wish to bond. The planet will continue its auspicious momentum, for it will enter Leo in the summer of 2014. Jupiter will first transit natal Mercury then natal Sun towards the end of this year.

Simultaneously, a slightly difficult transit will occur, owing to his natal Sun-Saturn square, but it may have a psychological influence. Sean Penn will need to control his impatience, to tone down his pride, and to understand that he is too old to indulge in childish whims caused by his oversized ego. Once he learns the lesson, he will be able to give his best.
