Tom Cruise

Nobody has chased the impossible with quite the grin of Tom Cruise. Born in 1962, he broke through in Risky Business and Top Gun, then proved his range with Rain Man, Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire and Magnolia, gathering four Academy Award nominations along the way. As Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible saga, and finally in Top Gun: Maverick, he became a byword for the death-defying stunt he insists on performing himself, and one of the highest-grossing box-office stars of all time. He is also a vocal advocate for the Church of Scientology, a stance that has drawn its share of controversy.

His Sun in Cancer is a deeply emotional, protective core, the guarded crab whose soft, sentimental heart hides inside a hard shell, someone who shines by feeling everything and shielding what he loves. His Moon in Leo is one of the great actor's placements: king and queen in one, both parents fused into a single dramatic heart that feels through performance and knows exactly how to give an audience goosebumps. Tender crab, roaring lion, Cruise turned raw emotion and sheer nerve into a lifelong show.
