Uma Thurman

There is something foundational and unshakeable about Uma Thurman, and her Taurus Sun tells us why. Taurus is the pillar of the chart, the earthy, Venusian bull who shines as the connoisseur of beauty and the keeper of solid, sensual value. It is no accident she began as a model, gracing British Vogue in the mid-1980s before the camera ever gave her a line: the five senses, aesthetics and presence are Taurus's native turf. That Sun sits in her ninth house, the house of the philosopher and the global citizen, and so she shines as someone worldly and searching, a natural for roles that cross genres from science fiction to epic revenge, most famously as Mia Wallace in Pulp Fiction and as The Bride in Kill Bill.

Her Moon in Aquarius makes the psyche a collective, nonconformist, crazy-genius thing, detached and fringe and drawn to the unusual. Placed in the sixth house of daily craft and service, it gives a perfectionist's devotion to the work itself. Her Virgo Ascendant, the clean, analytical maiden, seals the impression: elegant, precise, self-critical, the disciplined instrument through which a bull's patient artistry meets the world.
