Adam Driver

Adam Driver is an actor of enormous depth and volatility, and his chart reads like the story of a man remade several times over. Born in Fontana, California, in 1983 and raised in Indiana by a Baptist minister stepfather, he was a self-described misfit before enlisting in the Marines after September 11, then reinventing himself again at Juilliard. That is the Scorpio Sun at work, the sign of death and rebirth, the Phoenix rising from the ashes, whose avatar keeps dying and being reborn. Sitting in his ninth house of philosophy and higher horizons, that Sun shines as a seeker, drawn to auteurs and to roles that ask big questions, from Kylo Ren in Star Wars to the grieving director of Marriage Story and the title role in Ferrari. Beneath the intensity lies a Taurus Moon in the third house, the Moon exalted and at its most peaceful, an earthy, loyal, steadfast core that anchors all that Scorpionic fire and lends his everyday world its warmth. His Aquarius Ascendant is the outsider mask, the black sheep among black sheep, unmistakably his own creature, which is why he never quite reads as ordinary. Fittingly, he founded Arts in the Armed Forces, giving back to the world he once served.
