Russell Brand

Russell Brand is quicksilver made flesh, the loquacious, flamboyant motormouth whose whole gift is language, and his chart names it at once: a Gemini Sun, the marriage of Helios and Mercury, the eternal twin who is always two persons in one and shines through sheer communication. That is the engine of the comedian who swept three British Comedy Awards, hosted Big Brother's Big Mouth, and carried films from Forgetting Sarah Marshall to Get Him to the Greek and Arthur, then reinvented himself as a restless political provocateur with The Trews and his book Revolution. Two opposing opinions held at once is very Gemini indeed.

That Sun sits in the fourth house of home, family and roots, the hearth where the ego glows brightest. His Moon in Aries is a fiercely masculine, Martian moon that finds peace only through action, impulse and leading the charge, and it explains the recklessness and provocation that trailed his career as readily as his charm. It sits in the second house, where self-worth fuses with money and rises and falls like the tides. Capricorn rises, the old-soul mask of the boss who waits. He remains, above all, the messenger who cannot stop talking.
