Liam Neeson is the astrological can-do type of actor, with a strong Jupiter and a full-Moon chart that lets him go the limit emotionally, but in a crafty, structural way. Crafty, meaning he does it with craft. His only water (we don’t have exact time, so we’re not including an Ascendant possibility) is Mars in manipulative early Scorpio opposite Jupiter (which rules his Sagittarius Moon), so when he swings big, he swings carefully and effectively, where feelings are concerned. And with a locomotive-pattern chart led by Jupiter, he can do it again and again, playing any part his sets his mind on. All of these allow him flexibility and the ability to exercise his talents easily and widely.

Yet, there’s another pattern in the chart that is particularly intriguing. The nodes form a handle down the center, almost like a bucket chart with the North Node for a handle and Pluto at the bottom of the bucket. It’s as if he’s following a track of destiny that pulls all the rest of him along with it, and with Pluto there it will be the really compelling heavies caught up in historical draconian situations that make him his name, Schindler’s List being so far the greatest example. It’s like his chart totally fans out from that central stem, and although he can play one side of it or the other in individual movies, it’s only when all his talents are focused on that dark, central axis that he has all his talents in play, all his cards on the table. The chances are he feels the same way, and also feels that it’s destiny that brings him to those special roles, not entirely of his own choosing.

Current events: That nodes-Pluto axis is being heavily tweaked right now, as his progressed Venus is there and Saturn makes its last pass there this summer. Add to that a progressed lunar return this year, and it looks like you’re going to see another big ratchet up in his professional progress. We’re betting that his portrayal of Lincoln, about to be released, will put him right back on that heavy destiny part he does so well…
