Brad Pitt was born with the Sun in Sagittarius in the first house, sitting right over his Sagittarius Ascendant — charisma as a birthright. The easy grin, the restlessness that carried him from Missouri to Hollywood, the range that runs from screwball comedy to brooding westerns: all of it is first-house Sagittarian fire, visible from the moment Thelma & Louise made him famous.
Beneath the ease runs a Capricorn machine. His recorded chart stacks the Moon, Mercury, and Venus in Capricorn in the second house, with Mars in Capricorn in the first — ambition, discipline, and a builder's instinct for value. It shows in the second act few stars manage: Plan B Entertainment, a producing Oscar for 12 Years a Slave, a career managed like an estate.
