Actor and director Tom Hanks with credits and awards galore – Sleepless in Seattle, Philadelphia, Forrest Gump, Band of Brothers, Saving Mr Banks – has now produced a collection of short stories. Untypically for Hollywood he appears to live an enviably quiet domestic with his second wife whom he married in 1988.
Born 9 July 1956 11.17am Concord, CA, he’s a Sun Cancer (like Harrison Ford and Tom Cruise) with a Water Grand Trine of Sun to Mars in Pisces trine Saturn in Scorpio, making him private, emotionally self-protective, creative and a healing presence for others. His Saturn is in an enduring square to a confident Pluto conjunct Jupiter; his Leo Moon is conjunct Uranus, suiting him for a constantly-changing career and work relationships; and charming Venus in Gemini on his midheaven trines filmic Neptune in his financial 2nd house.
His wife, Rita Wilson, 26 October 1956, is an actress and filmmaker, though has concentrated on raising their two children and stepchildren; she had breast cancer and a double mastectomy last year. She’s a Sun Neptune in Scorpio which squares her Moon Uranus in Leo; with Saturn conjunct her Sagittarius Ascendant square Pluto; Venus Jupiter on her midheaven; and Mars in Pisces – so she’s fairly similar to her husband and each will understand the other’s quirks and lifestyle. His Venus MC falls in her 7th house of marriage, which is ideal; with his Sun making a deep connection in her 8th. Her Jupiter Venus falls in his 1st conjunct his Ascendant which is another positive relationship cross over. Their relationship chart has a mutually supportive composite Sun Jupiter conjunction in an adventurous opposition to Mars.
He’s had a pressured two years with tr Uranus and tr Pluto both in hard aspect to his Cancer Sun but he’ll finish that by this year end. Tr Saturn is now moving into his 2nd quadrant so he’ll be harder working from here on in – comparatively speaking since he’s not been exactly idle.
