Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s birth chart

For Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the Sun in Gemini means vitality that comes from variety, and purpose that feels most real when they are learning or explaining something new. What suffers is focus, with energy scattered across too many half-finished things at once. Several projects and three hobbies on the go at the same time would be in character.

An Aquarius Moon processes daily feelings by stepping back and thinking them through rather than sitting inside them, and Aaron is likely to need a degree of independence built into any close relationship. The temptation is to analyse a feeling instead of simply having it. Even after a good day with people, this Moon needs time alone to recover.

Aaron's Mercury in Gemini describes a mind that moves fast across many subjects at once and communicates easily in almost any setting. The tension is skimming the surface of a topic and moving on before going deep enough to be sure of it. The result is knowing a little about a great many things.

Venus in Taurus loves steadily and shows it through consistency, touch and shared comfort rather than grand gestures, and in Aaron's chart it is likely to value loyalty and things built to last. Because change feels like loss, this Venus can hold on to a relationship past its natural end. Months in, people with this placement tend to remember exactly how someone takes their coffee.

For Aaron, Mars in Aries points to acting immediately and decisively, with anger that tends to flare fast, hot and honest before it clears. The downside is acting before a situation has been thought all the way through. The argument or the project tends to start the second the impulse arrives, with little patience for waiting.

For Aaron, Jupiter in Cancer means growing by nurturing others and building a home that people want to return to. The excess can be protecting loved ones past the point they need it. Generosity here takes the form of home-cooked meals, open doors and an instinct to take in anyone who needs somewhere to land.

Saturn is at home in Capricorn, a placement that builds discipline as naturally as breathing and often takes on responsibility earlier than most. The doubt, for Aaron, may be never quite believing that enough has been achieved to relax. Others tend to recognise this kind of authority well before it is claimed.

Many people within a few years of Aaron's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.

Neptune in Capricorn is shared by Aaron and about fourteen years of births. The imagination of the generation questions or idealises authority and ambition, often shaped by wide disillusionment with institutions. The personal version may be an uneasy relationship with conventional success.

Pluto is at home in Scorpio, and the generation born with it lives through profound upheavals in power, secrecy and shared taboos. Aaron's own share may be an unusually deep comfort with intensity that others would find overwhelming.
