Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender, born on the 2nd of April 1977, is an Irish actor of ferocious intensity, the kind of performer who leaves a mark on every role he touches. After early work in Band of Brothers and 300, he seared himself into cinema as the starving IRA volunteer Bobby Sands in Hunger, then ranged across Inglourious Basterds, Jane Eyre, a shattering turn as a sex addict in Shame, the slave owner Edwin Epps in 12 Years a Slave, the title role in Steve Jobs, and Magneto across the X-Men films. Two Academy Award nominations, four BAFTA nods and three Golden Globe nominations followed, along with a later passion for endurance auto racing in the Le Mans series.

His chart burns with the warrior. The Sun sits in Aries, Mars's own sign, the double leader who gets back on the saddle no matter what and casts light wherever he goes, here in the third house of self-effort, craft and the hands. His Moon in Virgo is the meticulous perfectionist who finds peace through mastery and service, set in the ninth house of philosophy and far horizons, feeding on the big questions and foreign worlds. Sagittarius rises, the roaming, big-picture mask of the eternal explorer.
