Rami Malek

Rami Malek is a builder of characters, patient and exacting, an actor who disappears so completely into a role that you forget there was ever a mask at all. With the Sun in Taurus, he shines through the foundational, earthy, deeply Venusian pillar of the bull: grounded, sensual, unhurried, an artist attuned to the five senses who values craft over speed and holds an opinion the universe itself could not budge. This solar fire sits in the eleventh house, the realm of tribe and network, and there is a lovely irony in it: the hero who is not naturally a team player, yet who rose to prominence as an ensemble player before founding his own singular stardom.

His Moon in Virgo, the service-minded Virgin, finds peace of mind through meticulous work; nourishment comes from getting the details exactly right, which is precisely how he inhabited Elliot Alderson in Mr. Robot and won his Emmy. That Moon in the third house of communication let him channel raw human emotion into voice and gesture. His Cancer Ascendant, the lunar mask of the tender crab, gave him those large, watery, expressive eyes; and as Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody he became the first actor of Egyptian heritage to win the Best Actor Oscar. Emotion, worn as an avatar, made luminous.
