Anthony Hopkins's
Astrological Portrait
Introduction
To fully benefit from this portrait, we suggest that you read its introduction and its preamble carefully,
and then that to take the time to soak up the interpretations of each chapter. Given the large number of
texts, which mirrors the human being's complexity, you may need to go through the contents several
times, so as to get a good grasp of their meaning and to know yourself better. This will reward your
patience.
The purpose of this report is to describe your psychological portrait and to highlight the most
fundamental features on the personal area. The report begins with the analysis of your planetary
dominants and outlines your personality's general traits before going into further detail. Minor
dominants are analysed at the end of Annex 1, for purposes of clarity. Your report then delineates the
various facets of your personality:
In general, even when relationships are not involved, we express ourselves and we feel according to our
character and our personal motivations: this is indicated by the Ascendant and the Sun sign which both
give details on the way we function. They shed a tremendously important light which allows to figure out
your personality. Here, we describe your Sun sign (your inner self), your Ascendant (your behaviour as
seen by others), and the ruler of the Ascendant (interesting additional pieces of information about the
style of your personality). These descriptions alone cover nearly a third or a half of your psychological
signature, depending on your natal chart characteristics.
Then, we address your sensitivity, or in other words, the way you receive things and how you express
your emotions ; it works as a constant filter for all your exchanges, even when it becomes a more
secondary element in your amorous relationship, because at that moment, affectivity prevails. Sensitivity
is the way you perceive things, it is your radar, your daily mood, and at the same time, it indicates how
you react to your entourage, on a daily basis. It is what others immediately see of you. In the second
paragraph, we explain in which areas of life your sensitivity and your emotions are strongest, therefore,
where you are most vulnerable.
After this, it is your affectivity, the way you love and how you charm, that comes into play as soon as you
fall in love: the first part indicates its basic structure or its main form. The second part describes the
areas where it is best expressed and how you display it, according to your personality.
A third fundamental area deals with your mode of action and your sexuality: how you behave, how you
manage to obtain what you want, what kind of desires you have. There are twelve possibilities, very
Your ways of communicating and of thinking are obviously among the major elements that must be
integrated into the delineation and the description of your personality. Indeed, they influence your
general behaviour and may modify or enhance the image your project (for instance, extraversion may
“compensate” a weak affectivity, but a huge number of cases are possible). An additional chapter
indicates the favourite areas where you enjoy communicating, thinking and meeting with people.
Besides, we analyze an even more personal aspect that is important to define and understand what may
occur within your couple: each of us have a centre of interest, a privileged manner to be fulfilled or to
achieve our destiny; this main motivation is indicated by the positions of your Sun and your chart ruler in
the astrological houses and we provide you with its detailed description.
A natal chart contains the potential for specific fulfilment and a whole range of assets, protections and
qualities. How does the lucky factor manifest in your personality? In which area can you best exploit
your qualities? The answers are precisely revealed to you in this chapter.
On the other hand, we all feel in us a part of vulnerability, doubts and fears. How does this part of
solemnity or serious side play out? How is it possible to handle it in order to evolve and to get rid of
useless elements? All this information is provided to you in these two paragraphs.
Then, you can discover three additional traits of your personality that must be considered as secondary
ones. They deal with your predispositions, which means that they need to be triggered by external events
because they are not influenced by your will; let's call it a part of fate. Please, bear in mind that your
destiny can unfold only in accordance with what you are: therefore, even if they belong to your more
unconscious self, these characteristics are parts of you, definitely.
The karmic chart complements the psychological portrait or natal chart. It is based on the positions of
the Lunar Nodes, the Black Moon, and the Part of Fortune. These elements of the chart, sometimes
referred to as fictitious points, provide information about the spiritual meaning of your destiny. Owing to
the fact that we all have in us acquired knowledge and the urge to go on a quest, our life is an
evolutionary journey... However, these texts must be read with great caution: this is the reason why you
will find this analysis in the Annex 2 of your report.
Meaning of Stars
Stars indicate the strength of the aspects. Two solid coloured stars (there are half-stars also), mean that
the aspect is powerful enough to be noticed at the first reading.
We strongly advise that you read the paragraphs displaying less than two stars later on, after you have
absorbed the full import of the other texts.
In the first part, an overall analysis of the chart enables us to figure out the personality's main features
and to emphasize several points that are confirmed or not in the detailed analysis: in any case, those
general traits are taken into account. Human personality is an infinitely intricate entity and describing it
is a complex task. Claiming to rapidly summarize it is illusory, although it does not mean that it is an
impossible challenge. It is essential to read a natal chart several times in order to absorb all its different
meanings and to grasp all this complexity. But the exercise is worthwhile.
In brief, a natal chart is composed of ten planets: two luminaries, the Sun and the Moon, three
fast-moving or individual planets, Mercury, Venus and Mars, two slow-moving planets, Jupiter and
Saturn, and three very slow-moving planets, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Additional secondary elements
are: the Lunar Nodes, the Dark Moon or Lilith, Chiron and other minor objects. They are all posited on
the Zodiac wheel consisting of twelve signs, from Aries to Pisces, and divided into twelve astrological
houses.
The first step is to evaluate the importance of each planet. This is what we call identifying the dominant
planets. This process obeys rules that depend on the astrologer's sensitivity and experience but it also
has precise and steady bases: thus, we can take into account the parameters of a planet's activity (the
number of active aspects a planet forms, the importance of each aspect according to its nature and its
exactness), angularity parameters; (proximity to the four angles, Ascendant, Midheaven, Descendant and
Imum Coeli or Nadir, all of them being evaluated numerically, according to the kind of angle and the
planet-angle distance) and quality parameters (rulership, exaltation, exile and fall). Finally, other criteria
such as the rulership of the Ascendant and the Midheaven etc. are important.
These different criteria allow a planet to be highlighted and lead to useful conclusions when interpreting
the chart.
The overall chart analysis begins with the observation of three sorts of planetary distributions in the
chart: Eastern or Western hemisphere, Northern or Southern hemisphere, and quadrants (North-eastern,
North-western, South-eastern and South-western). These three distributions give a general tone in terms
of introversion and extraversion, willpower, sociability, and behavioural predispositions.
Then, there are three additional distributions: elements (called triplicity since there are three groups of
signs for each one) - Fire, Air, Earth and Water - corresponding to a character typology, modality (or
quadruplicity with four groups of signs for each one) - Cardinal, Fixed and Mutable - and polarity (Yin
and Yang).
There are three types of dominants: dominant planets, dominant signs and dominant houses. The novice
thinks astrology means only "to be Aries" or sometimes, for example, "to be Aries Ascendant Virgo". It
is actually far more complex. Although the Sun and the Ascendant alone may reveal a large part of the
character - approximately a third or a half of your psychological signature, a person is neither "just the
Sun" (called the sign) nor just "the first house" (the Ascendant). Thus, a particular planet's influence
Lastly, there are two other criteria: accentuations (angular, succedent and cadent) which are a
classification of astrological houses and types of decanates that are occupied (each sign is divided into
three decanates of ten degrees each). They provide some additional informations.
These general character traits must not be taken literally; they are, somehow, preparing for the chart
reading. They allow to understand the second part of the analysis, which is more detailed and precise. It
focuses on every area of the personality and provides a synthesis of all the above-mentioned parameters
according to sound hierarchical rules.
As explained in the introduction of your Psychological Portrait report, minor dominants are analysed at
the end of Annex 1, for purposes of clarity.
Anthony Hopkins, the diurnal South-eastern quadrant, consisting of the 10th, 11th and 12th houses,
prevails in your chart: assertion and goals achievement are at the centre of your concerns. You are very
keen to implement your dreams and your plans. You achieve your ambitions as soon as possible, whether
through an active social life, highly charged friendly relations, or an urge to take actions in order to reap -
in the eyes of the world, of course - the rewards of your dynamism. It is likely that spirituality or
humanitarian actions are part of your motivations, sometimes at the price of some degree of isolation.
Like the majority of Earth signs, Anthony Hopkins, you are efficient, concrete and not too emotional.
What matters to you is what you see: you judge the tree by its fruits. Your ideas keep changing, words
disappear, but actions and their consequences are visible and remain. Express your sensitivity, even if it
means revealing your vulnerability. Emotions, energy and communication must not be neglected;
concrete action is meaningless if it is not justified by your heart, your intellect or your enthusiasm.
The predominance of Water signs indicates high sensitivity and elevation through feelings, Anthony
Hopkins. Your heart and your emotions are your driving forces, and you can't do anything on Earth if
you don't feel a strong affective charge (as a matter of fact, the word "feeling" is essential in your
psychology). You need to love in order to understand, and to feel in order to take action, which causes a
certain vulnerability which you should fight against.
Fire's qualities are not very present in your chart, with only 9.66% instead of the average 25%, which
means that you may lack warmth, enthusiasm, conquering spirit, or energy. You may look indifferent to
others, with almost no desire, no joy of life or no enterprising ability. Actually, it is not true, but you
should let go, force yourself to be more daring, and show your amazement as well as your vitality. You
certainly have as much energy as others, you just need to release it, and it is up to you to display more of
it, since it will be all to your benefit: shout, sing, pull faces, dance! That's the right mean for you... In the
end, you'll never be accused of being sad, phlegmatic or a killjoy!
Air is under-represented in your natal chart, with only 8.29% instead of the average 25%. Air symbolizes
the values of communication, exchanges with others, but also adaptability and flexibility abilities: if you
don't get out of your cocoon to talk, to show interest in others, and to socialize, you may have problems
understanding others. Because of your lack of flexibility or of your refusal to adapt yourself, you may be
suddenly overwhelmed by events. You should get into the habit of talking, of phoning, and of thinking in
terms of "mobility, flexibility, adaptability, change" in every circumstance. It will spare you so many
troubles!
Anthony Hopkins, the Cardinal mode is dominant here and indicates a predisposition to action, and
more exactly, to impulsion and to undertake: you are very keen to implement the plans you have in mind,
to get things going and to create them. This is the most important aspect that inspires enthusiasm and
adrenalin in you, without which you can grow weary rapidly. You are individualistic (maybe too much?)
and assertive. You let others strengthen and improve the constructions which you built with fervour.
The ten planets - the Sun throughout Pluto - are a bit like ten characters in a role-play, each one has its
own personality, its own way of acting, its own strengths and weaknesses. They actually represent a
classification into ten distinct personalities, and astrologers have always tried to associate one or several
dominant planets to a natal chart as well as dominant signs and houses.
Indeed, it is quite the same situation with signs and houses. If planets symbolize characters, signs
represent hues - the mental, emotional and physical structures of an individual. The sign in which a
planet is posited is like a character whose features are modified according to the place where he lives. In
a chart, there are usually one, two or three highlighted signs that allow to rapidly describe its owner.
Regarding astrological houses, the principle is even simpler: the twelve houses correspond to twelve
fields of life, and planets tenanting any given house increase that house's importance and highlight all
relevant life departments: it may be marriage, work, friendship etc.
Saturn is part of your dominant planets: among the facets of your character, you have a grave and serious
side, wise and somewhat severe, since your concentration can be powerful, to the detriment of
carelessness and friendliness.
You often look austere, but it is only an appearance, a kind of modesty or reserve; however, it is true that
the Saturnian, who is fond of time, effort, asceticism, rigour and sobriety, may have popularity issues.
Nevertheless, honesty and straightforwardness, reliability, as well as slow, wise and deep mental process,
although not very popular and visible qualities, eventually become noticed and appreciated. Saturnians'
second part of life is usually easier and more fulfilling.
Like the Jupiterian, your Saturnian facet prompts you to seek the essential, security, and longevity.
However, the difference with the former is that you will never give priority to wealth or "the bigger, the
better" philosophy for the sake of power. Saturn, like Jupiter, symbolizes social integration, and it is
usually considered positive to have a harmonic Jupiter and Saturn in one's chart because of their social
adaptation capacities.
Your vulnerability lies in your too serious and austere side, which may lead to unwanted loneliness and
affective frustration. This generally does not last because Saturnians often hide deep down a golden heart
that ends up revealing itself...
With Pluto as a dominant planet in your chart, you are a magnetic and mighty predator, like the Scorpio
sign ruled by this planet, who needs to exert pressure on others in order to "test" them. You are always
ready to evolve, to risk destruction for reconstruction - including your own - to live more intensely whilst
imposing your secret authority on things and on people you encounter.
You may come across as wicked, cruel or too authoritarian, but actually you only follow your instinct,
you sound people out, and you like to exert your domination simply because your vital energy is too
powerful to remain inside. You are inclined to be passionate, with hidden motivations. You are
sometimes misunderstood but one of your great Plutonian assets is to go successfully through each life
ordeal with ever growing strength.
You appreciate legality, social order but also order in general. With you as a leader, every plan or human
entity can be organized and structured. You excel at supervising. The Jupiterian type is indeed the
politician par excellence, and a positive Jupiter in your chart is synonymous with good integration into
society, whatever the chosen path.
Is this idyllic picture really perfect? Certainly not: each planet's typology has its own weaknesses. One of
yours is pride, like the Solarian, but your will of expansion at all costs may generate a form of
exaggeration in everything, endless pleasure, inappropriate self-confidence that could lead you to rough
materialism and the thirst for absurd material comfort - in the worst cases, of course.
In your natal chart, the three most important signs, delineated according to the above-mentioned
criteria, are, in decreasing order of strength, Capricorn, Pisces and Cancer. They are often prominent
because your Ascendant and your Sun are posited there. However, it is not always the case: it may be
because they are occupied by a cluster of planets, by a planet near an angle other than the Midheaven
and the Ascendant, or because two or three planets are very active and form numerous aspects from
these signs. Therefore, you partly take on the three signs' characteristics, which are somehow
superimposed on your natal chart, and all the more so if any of the signs in question is highlighted.
Capricorn is one of your dominant signs and endows you with a grave and serious style that seems to
stick to you constantly. But if you have that reserved and cold side - as some extrovert people may think -
on the other hand, you possess sturdy qualities: you are strong-willed and tough. Your long-term vision,
your sense of duty, and your ambition are not affected by the derisory and erratic motions that seem to
upset most mortals less steady than you. Besides, you are like a good wine, you age well and your natural
solemnity or serious side paradoxically turns into an almost cheerful appearance, as you grow older. You
are actually very sensitive when it comes to love. Faithful, caring, sweet, and sensitive, your behaviour is
very different in your everyday, sentimental life. A golden heart beats under your tough and austere
appearance...
Cancer is one of your dominant signs and endows you with imagination and exceptionally shrewd
sensitivity. Although suspicious at first sight - and even at second...- as soon as you get familiar with
people and let them win your confidence, your golden heart eventually shows up, despite your discretion
and your desire for security that make you return into your shell at the slightest alert! Actually, you are a
poet and if you are sometimes blamed for your nostalgia and your laziness, it is because your intense
inner life is at full throttle...
Houses 12, 11 and 1 are the most tenanted ones in your natal chart. To compute their strength, planets
and angles are weighed according to various astrological criteria such as swiftness, activity, angularity,
rulership etc. From the analysis of the most tenanted Houses, the Astrologer deduces the fields of
activity that are most relevant to you, be it because of what you are experiencing, or what you may
experience in the future, or because of your deep inner motivations.
The 12th house is emphasized in your chart: like the 8th house, it has a rich and complex meaning.
Although its bad reputation is likely to scare most readers in the first place - it is indeed the house of
hidden or isolated places, of solitude, of ordeals or enemies - it can also mean that a part of your life is
very deep and intense. If your achievements are not visible in the public eye, you may fulfil yourself in a
different but equally important way: you may be involved in secret activities, humanitarian causes, and
projects in favour of disadvantaged people. You are likely to work in quiet and remote places. In many
cases, you will gain from these hidden activities as many treasures as people who have a more public
destiny. It may be because you sublimate your work, or only because you successfully carry out your task
The 11th house is among your dominant houses. Therefore, social life and friendships are very important,
even strategic to you.
You think that group activities, whether in the humanitarian field or simple gatherings of friends, are
endless sources of inspiration and of enjoyment, provided that there are no tensed aspects in this sector.
Everything human is important to you, often more important than your own success, unless your 10th
house is also powerful.
With a dominant 1st house, your magnetism is powerful, and your individuality as well as your willpower
are out of the ordinary. You are a determined, strong-willed, and assertive person, with this relative
criterion at least.
It is likely that you never go unnoticed when you are in a crowd or a in reunion: an important 1st house
suggests that you are a charismatic person with above average vital energy, especially if the Sun is
present in this sector.
Your personal interests are always important and you never forget them, which doesn't mean that you are
self-centered, but only that you behave according to what is in harmony with your deep nature!
Another important point must be underlined. Contrary to the Ascendant, which clearly describes your
appearance, your vitality, your physical constitution, your spontaneous behaviour and the image you
project, your Sun sign describes your inner self, which you may not completely be aware of, and which
may emerge gradually as you mature: it is about your inner personality that you reveal only to the
members of your entourage whom you trust. The Sun sign is likely to be the final form of your
personality, once it has evolved in line with the energies of the other parts of your chart, the beginning of
which is seen in the Ascendant, your external "bark".
The Ascendant is one of the major components of your natal chart. It is the zodiacal sign that rises in the
East at the very moment of your birth. To calculate it, it is therefore necessary to know your exact time of
birth.
It provides with a wealth of information on your personality. It is one of the key features that allows the
analysis of several parts of you, such as your appearance, your character as it is initially perceived and
your immediate behaviour. It describes the external aspect of your personality which you always display,
but it also describes your physical constitution in the long-term, in other words, your health.
Please be aware that, in spite of the importance of the Ascendant, the accuracy of its description depends
on how strongly highlighted it is in your natal chart. We use the entire set of astrological rules to assess
the strength of the Ascendant. In most cases, the Ascendant is as revealing as your “sign”, i.e., the sign
where the Sun is posited at the time of birth.
You were born under the sign of Capricorn and your Ascendant is in Capricorn
Before broaching the details of the meaning of your Sun and your Ascendant, as a preamble, we offer a
brief generic interpretation of their combination in your chart:
Your Sun sign and your Ascendant sign merge together. You are twice a Capricorn, which means that all
your features are very typical of Capricorn. You are uncompromising, and your behaviour is exactly the
same whenaffectively-laden situations you are in unknown and in familiar settings. The sense of
responsibility, patience, and the respect for the established order are the essential qualities you value.
You are a loner and a contemplative person. You have a general but structured approach of things, as if
you try to understand the secrete architecture of all things and to fit together the pieces of a jigsaw
puzzle. This may be the reason behind your need for logic. When you are obsessed by any particular
objective, you may display a devouring ambition or, at least, a fierce determination to reach your goal,
and you become completely indifferent to everything else. Capricorn's behaviour recalls that of the chess
Like all the persons born under an apparently reserved and tough sign, your inner personality is often
charming and gentle, as if the thick armour, forged throughout childhood, had entirely preserved the
purity and the warmth of the soul imprisoned within.
As you are born under this sign, you are serious, cold, disciplined, patient, focused, thoughtful,
ambitious, indomitable, cautious, lucid, persistent, provident, steady, introverted, stern, wilful,
hard-working, responsible, persevering, honest, realistic, loyal, reserved, resolute, moralistic, quiet,
rigorous, attached and reliable. But you may also be curt, withdrawn, calculating, petty, cruel,
unpleasant, ruthless, selfish, dull, rigid, slow or sceptical.
Sir, in love, you may feel less interested than the other Zodiacal signs because you repress your feelings
and you practice so much self-control. You want to keep situations under full control, in all
circumstances, although love is the only area where progress requires a laid-back attitude, where it is
necessary to give in order to receive, all things which are difficult for you.
Therefore, you are alone for a long part of your life until you meet with the love of your life, to whom you
will be faithful and attached, beyond reproach. Capricorn has very few but intense and lasting love
affairs.
Daily life within your couple is responsible and serious. It may not be too bubbling, but your feelings’
sustainability and solidity make for your lack of spontaneity and extravagance. You may not be very
available, as all your time is taken up by your work and the pursuit of success. You are very keen to marry
a person who can share your professional interests, which does not lessen the quality of your attachment
at all.
Your home is sound, with an atmosphere of seriousness. The effort-oriented education, which you give
your children, is respectful of the best traditions.
The ruler of the Ascendant, Anthony Hopkins, is Saturn. It is posited in the sign of Pisces and endows
you with a vivid imagination. You are a sensitive and emphatic dreamer, always on the lookout for the
inspiration which enables you to take action, although there is a risk that you keep on waiting - not
without displeasure - for the said inspiration. With your amazing intuition, you sense the truth even
before you understand it, and more often than not, your personality is endearing and appreciated by
everybody.
You are popular with your friends, Anthony Hopkins. You easily shine, thanks to your sensitivity, your
whimsical side, your mobility and your charm tinged with imagination. Even at work, you often win your
clientele's favours, and if by chance, you are in a commercial team, you are chosen and sent ahead to
deal with customers because you are so likeable!
You can happily express your emotions through shared projects - with your friends, preferably - in which
you shine with selflessness and your childlike but endearing charm.
Your Affectivity
In your chart, the Sun and Venus are both in Capricorn. At once, this duet sets its affective standards
very high: love is a quest for the absolute. You are not interested in commonplaces and conventional
values. You rather prefer to attempt to ascend a mountain of love. A commendable ambition. You are
credited with an unfailing integrity, an ascetic spirit that excludes all forms of deception. However, the
heights you dream of may be out of your reach. Your romanticism, modestly concealed or restrained,
offers emotions that people do not immediately perceive. Your heart is not as reserved and cold as people
who do not know you may think. But how is it possible to share your aspirations for absolute love? It is
Anthony Hopkins, it is obvious that you do not easily fall in love. But when you do, your feelings are
deep, quiet, serious, and above all, lasting. Your need for security is indispensable for your well being
and to enable you to give. You offer security and stability with your sense of duty even though you mix
up responsibility and love. The charm of your partner does not only include physical features or aroused
sentimental attraction, but also intellectual and moral qualities: you fiercely need authenticity and
seriousness because this is the way you are. In general, your loves are not numerous and you become
able to express yourself quite late in life. Your quiet and stable feelings are really worth it. If you do not
get what you want, the danger is that you may seek refuge in cynicism and that you isolate yourself.
In general, your sociability is impressive, Anthony Hopkins, and this powerful feature of your personality
leads you to tread with ease between love and friendship, with your close entourage having some
difficulties in discriminating, because you are so welcoming and charming. You are prone to obtain great
satisfaction out of your friends and in most cases, you will be very naturally led to realize that your
friendly relationship imperceptibly and gradually turns into a real love story! Besides, if by any chance
your tie does not last forever, there is no doubt that you will be able to maintain a delightful rapport with
your ex and, eventually, to get back to the ancient warm friendship which had served as the foundation
of the idyll you had just experienced, with souvenirs as a bonus... Your affectivity is paradoxically both
warm and unselfish because, like the astrological house that colours this part of your nature and the sign
of Aquarius in analogy with the house, you are a refined and tolerant person, more focused on a large
and collective vision rather than on a strictly personal approach in the romantic area. You are often
granted protections for the projects you implement, particularly by your numerous feminine friendships.
They deeply appreciate the cultured and refined side you exhibit at will and your inclination for your
outings to the theatre, a concert, a conference etc. As far as feelings are concerned, your potential
weaknesses may precisely stem from your detachment or from your lack of involvement, which, although
they are natural for you, may offend or may shock some of your love relationships. They may criticize
you for some sort of distance or a half-hearted attitude and they may want you to change the way you
express yourself: in such moments, be more demonstrative so as to prevent any possible budding
reproaches…
You are by nature an active person, Anthony Hopkins. This is the only position that does not give a
particular orientation towards any specific area of life. It is the most powerful placement and it indicates
that your personality is precisely combative, conquering and action-oriented.
You are on the move, with the impetus which urges you, more than anyone else, to transcribe your
thoughts and your projects into the real world.
The danger may be that you overdo and you turn into a warrior! This generous flow of energy is an
invaluable asset that you use properly as you mature. The danger is also that you may come across as
quarrelsome and too domineering to persons who may be scared by your punch and your pugnacity.
Your thoughts remain often secretive, Anthony Hopkins, and you communicate in a discreet and sober
way. The reasons may be your upbringing or your temperament. Actually, you may be interested in noble
Your strength lies in your steady concentration and your adaptability to ordeals. You are quite
mysterious, interested in humanitarian issues. Your intellectual vision is strangely tinted with some form
of mysticism and individual withdrawal.
Let’s say that you enjoy communication and thinking, although you don’t want others to notice it. The
power behind the throne, somehow.
Somewhere in you, there is a propensity for introversion, quietness and even a kind of isolation, whether
they stem from a natural taste or from force of habit. However, beware... you are more secretive and more
enigmatic than you are solitary. The reason is because a more or less important part of you (depending
on the rest of your chart) is hidden and inaccessible to others.
You are sociable but you appreciate discretion. You often show a real dedication towards people and
your compassion is one of the original facets of your personality, which is difficult to figure out. Your
individuality is finally forgotten, almost negated in some cases: you are not interested in personal glory,
which is all to your credit. You thrive through dedication, volunteer work, humanitarian action and
alleviating the distress around you, since you perceive the weight of injustice more acutely than others.
Here is the paradox you are entangled in: the more you keep your distance from society, the more you
are successful, at least regarding the things that strengthen you and make you evolve. Working in secret
or in a withdrawn environment suits you very well: you are favoured if you are a writer, a painter, a
medical practitioner, a psychiatrist or even a monk. You may also work in a penitentiary institution etc.,
as well as in any occupation conducive to quietness and contemplation. It does not imply that you
cannot achieve fame, but when you do, a hidden part of you must express itself in one of the above areas,
for your own good.
The Tradition indicates that with this configuration, your evolution goes through ordeals or obstacles
that lead to a crisis and to a period of solitude so that you are on your own and, may be, that you have the
time to ponder over what is really important in your life journey that seems at first sight so absurd and
crazy. Do not worry, there is no such thing as a better predisposition. Everyone has one's own path and
yours goes through an unpretentious authenticity, secrecy and the regeneration of your whole being
during a few periods of your life, faraway from social whirls and false relations that are time wasting.
Your accomplishment may turn you into the power behind the throne. It may also take you into hidden
topics people do not talk about, the supernatural, occultism, great mysteries etc.
Your destiny contains a mysterious part that no one suspects: you are far from being as simple as people
might think.
Although nothing appears externally, you know to which extent you are remote from the idea that the
majority of people have of you. You are interested in situations that allow you to hide or to withdraw at
You must overcome the periods of isolation or of ordeals because the reward is proportional to what you
are entitled to expect: a more rapid moral and spiritual evolution, wisdom, and a blooming personality.
Some people may choose small roads in the countryside to unfold their life. You choose highways to earn
your salvation and you avoid the socialite and false delusions inherent to an ordinary life in society. More
than anyone, you are favoured, you are prompted to overcome pitfalls and to never let pessimism
discourage you.
The ruler of your chart is in the 2nd House, Anthony Hopkins. This position in the House of money
earned through work may facilitate the way you deal with financial matters, and may give you the desire
to work even harder. Your material situation often improves at the age of thirty.
Anthony Hopkins, Nature gives you a nudge in the right direction and endows you with enthusiasm and
generosity, contributing to your charm and dynamism. You are attractive, and you hold sway over
groups. Your physical appearance is that of a jovial and charismatic person.
The planet Jupiter symbolizes expansion, broadness and generosity. Jupiter is associated with the
functions of synthesis, enthusiasm and optimism. In your natal chart, his house position is more
important than his sign position because, like Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, he is a slow planet.
Many people born in the same period have Jupiter in the same sign. This is the reason why the sign
occupied here is less meaningful than when it is occupied by the so-called fast planets, i.e. the Sun, the
Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be exercised as you read what follows.
Jupiter in Aquarius stimulates your mental activities and favours the area of collective or humanitarian
projects. In these fields, you can easily assert your originality and develop your interests for new topics
and unusual things in general: sciences, higher technologies, but also esoterism, astrology and
occultism. Your friendship life is favoured too by this configuration.
Financial affairs, and more particularly, your earning capacity, constitute the challenges of your life,
Anthony Hopkins. In this area, your practical sense is not too good and remains to be improved. This is
the first thing you should work in order to progress and to gain self-confidence.
You are distrustful and you spend too much time analyzing before taking action by yourself; you must
understand that, to be able to win, you must accept to lose, to take risks, and to give for the sake of
giving. There is no other way out. As time goes by, you use your persistence to gain material security and
to steady the flow of your income in order to overcome feelings of frustration.
The planet Saturn symbolizes contraction, effort, time, limitation and concentration. Saturn eliminates
anything that is not authentic, sooner or later. It is impossible to cheat him as he gives an irresistible
desire to form a coherent whole with oneself, in responsible and wise ways. He is the great purifier. He
represents our limitations but also our truth. In your natal chart, the house position where Saturn is
posited is more important than his sign position because, like Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, he is
a slow planet. Many people born in the same period have Saturn in the same sign. This is the reason why
the sign occupied here is less meaningful than when it is occupied by the so-called fast planets, i.e. the
Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. Therefore, some caution is to be exercised as you read what
follows.
Saturn in Pisces limits your ability to feel other people's emotions or to profusely express your own
feelings. For this reason, you are less vulnerable but at the same time, you can revel in isolation. On the
other hand, you are genuine, you cannot be satisfied with chimeras and you remain far away from
illusions but also... from dreams!
Your trips are unforeseen and you are often present where no one expects you. The only problem is that
you may shock your entourage, at least, the most conventional persons, because this aspect of your
personality is undoubtedly quite endearing, provided that you do not exceed a certain level of
eccentricity, whether in intensity or in volume!
You have the gift for sounding the depths of your psyche, for feeling what others' motivations are, and
you thoroughly understand behavioural patterns, in a sensitive, emotional and non-intellectual way.
This configuration may bring fortune as well as breaches of trust... Be very cautious before trusting
anybody, as far as investment and finance are concerned.
Your contacts and your associations require so much emotional intensity that people who consider that
relationships should be light and flowing may be frightened or disconcerted.
Your marriage is probably the all-or-nothing type. It is a passionate and intensely close relationship, an
agent for your couple's transformation, with you in the domineering role. It may also lead to
disintegration before it starts afresh towards new horizons.
It seldom happens that in a natal chart, a planet is totally disconnected from the nine other planets.
Astrologers have observed that when such a case occurs, the person feels the energy of the unaspected
planet in quite a singular way, very jerky and powerful at the same time. Thus, for instance, the famed
astrologer Jean-Baptiste Morin de Villefranche wrote that "an unaspected planet heralds that something
strange or extraordinary will take place regarding the meanings of the house in which the said planet is
posited" (source : l'astrologie selon Morin).
Rules for detecting an unaspected planet: among all the testimonies that we have reviewed to this day,
based on our experience, we tend to agree with American astrologer Janis Huntley who accepts seven
aspects, which involve the zodiacal twelve sections of 30 degrees. The aspects to be considered are the
conjunction (0 degree, cooperation or tension), the semi-sextile (30 degrees), the sextile and the trine (60
and 120 degrees respectively, aspects of cooperation), the square and the opposition (90 and 180 degrees
respectively, tensed aspects), and the quincunx (150 degrees, slightly tensed). In this detection, the
chart's angles are not taken into account.
Your chart has no isolated planet, and this particular case does not apply to you.
This is not about determination but about personal inclination: thus, some people will be thrown into
public life despite a prominent Northern hemisphere. If this happens, however, it will not be due to their
will, their taste or their deep nature. Conversely, a prominent Southern hemisphere will not bring about a
famous destiny to its owner, even if he tends to turn the spotlight on himself, or if he looks for a more
active life. It is a matter of deep nature and natural inclination. Of course, none of the typologies is
"superior" to another.
In your birth chart, Anthony Hopkins, the ten main planets are distributed as follows:
Anthony Hopkins, the predominance of planets in the Southern hemisphere prompts you to take action,
to draw attention on yourself, and to make your actions and what you have in mind visible to everyone.
Sometimes, without giving a single thought to, and to the detriment of, a richer inner life and a deeper
and wiser reflection. Action and communication are inevitable in your opinion, and you tend to think
that the only thing that matters is what is seen! This is not always true, and it is up to you to progress
through the development of inner qualities such as meditation, solitude and imagination so as to become
stronger.
The Eastern part, on the Ascendant side, shows the person's ego, will, magnetism, and vitality, whereas
the Western part, on the Descendant side, symbolizes other people, communication, relationships and
their influence, as well as flexibility and adaptability.
Anthony Hopkins, here is the planetary repartition in your Eastern and your Western hemispheres:
The predominance of planets in the Eastern hemisphere of your chart enables you, Anthony Hopkins, to
assert yourself and to rely on your determination: you know what you want and you have a tendency to
take action and to decide with your personal goals as priorities, even if they can be in contradiction with
what others think.
A definite asset... provided that you never make mistakes in your choices. You should pay more attention
to your entourage in order to counterbalance your nature and to take advantage of your assets wisely.
The danger is that you may be too authoritarian and not conciliating enough. Strong determination
coupled with flexibility and acute sense of communication are qualities you should develop.
The first ones are the most important ones, the most "noticeable" and energetic houses. They are the
1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses. Their cuspides correspond to four famous angles: Ascendant for the 1st
house, Imum Coeli for the 4th house, Descendant, opposite the Ascendant, for the 7th house and
Midheaven for the 10th house, opposite the Imum Coeli.
Planets are evaluated according to a whole set of criteria that includes comprehensive Western astrology
rules. At their turn, planets emphasize specific types of houses, signs, repartitions etc., as previously
explained.
These meanings must be considered with the greatest caution. Indeed, they are minor characteristics
that can only underline other outstanding traits of character.
Traditionally, the first decanate highlights the characteristics of the sign where a planet is located. The
two other decanates correspond to sub-dominant planets, depending on the nature of each sign. This
system leads to a multiplication of meanings and it is impossible to have a clear understanding: here, we
prefer to give only the meaning of one decanate in comparison with the other two, within the birth chart
as a whole. Again, the greatest caution is needed with regard to this minor indication as it is not always
reliable: it is not essential that you read these texts in the beginning. You can get back to them later on,
once you have read more important interpretations
The first decanate, which means the part between 0° and 10° of any zodiacal sign, prevails in your natal
chart, Anthony Hopkins: this decanate is traditionally linked to vitality and physical constitution, and
may indicate that you efficiently express your concrete energy on the material and sensual planes.
Your destiny hinges on spiritual values. Early in life, you developed relationship abilities and you showed
a healthy curious mind. You are insatiable when it comes to exchanging new concepts but you limit your
horizon line to tangible and useful facts. As time goes by, you feel the desire to leap further and to
discover new territories or different philosophies. You may have a growing interest in metaphysics or in
religions, or you may travel, so as to keep up with your desire for evolution. Never mind! What is
essential is that you never stagnate and that the vagaries of life do not take precedence over your
thinking process or your spiritual growth. You dream of getting rid of everyday constraints and of
reaching another dimension of life pertaining to large spaces and to ideals. You need to live intensely, to
discover again and again. You long for a better world? The danger is that you may get trapped in
illusions and utopias. But life would be so dull without an ideal!
Your life is marked with the major challenge of developing your social image, of asserting your
personality... and of leaving your shell. Your childhood and your family roots are very present. You have
an inclination for quietness, protections and intimacy. You enjoy at will the moments when you feel "at
home", in known territory and familiar situations. But you must learn to thrive in society, to give of your
best, to socially shine, particularly when you feel that external pressure and opinions are upsetting. Do
not fall in the trap of your dreams and souvenirs! Life implies responsibilities and the will to control,
otherwise you cannot feel your true self. You may be too dependent and you must learn to slowly become
autonomous, free to take decisions and to take action. Your sense of duty allows you to climb all the
steps of a perilous, yet thrilling, social ladder. As years go by, you claim more autonomy, more power and
more freedom of action.
The notion of freedom takes a special meaning: to be free does not only mean being able to move as you
please here and there, nor does it mean having a few hours of leisure available. Above all, it means being
able to lead a spiritual quest, to access a different dimension in life: to encounter, to travel, to love and to
never be hampered by contingencies, never be slowed down by daily life. That'll take some doing! The
comfortable routine of the contemporary world, in this regard, puts you off.
It is in the humanitarian field that rebellion is best expressed. Your dream is to become the spearhead for
a different project of society, the Quixote of altruism. Each individual must be independent, really free to
think and to act. Any hindrance to free will makes you indignant! The danger is that you may not tolerate
any external constraint. This is probably the price to be paid for a freedom of thought that constitutes the
core of your progression.
Retrograde Planets
The karmic tradition insists on the issues related to the so-called retrograde planets. They are considered
to be the inheritance of a past that was not well experienced, a sort of unfinished business. The
interpretations of the retrogradation may seem negative or excessive to you. However, you may relate to
a scenario that you have often and repeatedly experienced... as if you underwent several setbacks that all
have the same cause. Until the day you become aware of it and you can free yourself from it! Through the
slow integration of these planetary energies, you will be able to overcome your difficulties and to pay
your karmic debt. Actually, each retrograde planet highlights an opportunity for evolution. Nothing can
be achieved without the will to grow spiritually and to defeat your own demons.
The planet Mercury was retrograde on the day of your birth. You probably have to make an effort to
harmonize your relations: you are prone to screen others with a critical eye and you do not overlook the
slightest flaw. You are exceedingly clear-sighted and you approach your contemporaries with distance
rather than with natural. This type of behaviour may be an asset: your enquiring and pernickety mind
prevents you from being too gullible. However, your reservations may impede your communication. As
time goes by, you learn to establish contacts more spontaneously. During your childhood, you faced
problems of expression in your heart of hearts: your doubts prompted you to project an image that was
out of touch with the reality... turbulent or withdrawn, you could hardly establish conventional ties. As an
adult, you are in a better control of these elements. You still have to find the right way to tell who you
Uranus was retrograding on the day of your birth: you have the soul of a rebel and your behaviour may
often be tyrannical or extremist. Your manner has brought you setbacks. You lack the flexibility that
spares you the pain of forcing your ways through events. The danger may be that you get trapped into
rigid patterns and into personal logics incompatible with others'. This is precisely what your life's lesson
is about: as years go by, your judgments are more qualified and your attitudes become less
cut-and-dried, less stubborn. You must lose the essentially individualistic character of your childhood
and be more open to other people's ideas and problems. In other words, a path of love. Without losing
your remarkable resolution, you must practice some form of renunciation and be sensitive to various
logics that constitute the wealth of your social life.
Neptune retrograding concerns spirituality. You may have expressed early in life a few reluctances about
the subtle world of faith. You may have ignored destiny's signs and winks and you preferred to stick to
your certainties, to a rigorous and objective control of your life. You dread your own aspirations and you
readily trust others': this causes a lack of autonomy and the feeling that you may not receive as much as
you give. However, several delusions teach you that you must relativize your calculating and methodical
attitude and open up to the irrationality of love in order to find an inner and more spiritual progression.
Embracing the invisible is a process that unfolds as years and experiences go by. Your own generosity
increases as you become aware of your entourage's generosity.
Pluto retrograde suggests power issues and mishandled relations: for you, everything comes down to
power struggles, submission and domination, Machiavellian manoeuvres, including within your couple...
The results are complex behaviours and an obsession for the power to influence people. Yet, life teaches
that you must simplify your relations and adopt more transparent attitudes and healthier desires... As
years go by, you will tend towards more simplicity and you will slowly discover that human energy can,
and must, be at the service of the good, or of well being, in compliance with our individual progression.
N.B: modern astrology attaches less and less importance to the principles of retrograding planets.
We all know that, in real life, people begin to know themselves when they are in their forties, or even
later. Likewise, several traits of character in a portrait may seem surprising: in most cases, it means that
such features are not yet developed.
Some personalities reveal themselves late in life, whereas others are more precocious. It must be
remembered that psychological structures are in a state of continuous evolution because they are
influenced by unfolding events and gradual maturity. We can never underline strongly enough the
"mobile" nature of the personality, throughout a lifetime.
On the other hand, it is difficult to discriminate what is "already present" at this moment in your life
when you are reading your chart's interpretation, from what will appear later in the logic of your
evolution: you must sort out all the pieces of information provided and, in most cases, you will see that
your astrological portrait is helpful for your endeavours to know yourself better.
Finally, several readings of an astrological portrait are usually necessary in order to absorb all its different
meanings and to evaluate the relevance of each character trait.
In any case, better self-knowledge obviously contributes to faster personal blossoming, and it is
undoubtedly one of astrology's major roles: contributing to know oneself better, in order to improve
more rapidly, to deal with one's weaknesses and to avoid its drawbacks, and to take advantage of one's
assets as efficiently as possible.
