Nicolas Cage (Actor) AA rated: Jan 7 1964 5:30 AM Harbor City, California.

Note Jupiter partile cnj IC for his successful career as an actor.

Angry and hitter, a hyper kid, he was always the weirdo..

Note his partile 90 Moon-Mars, with Mars partile 135 Uranus and Moon tight semisquare Uranus.

His characters in movies has mostly consisted of playing weird excentric roles (Uranus), many roles expressing an angry character.

He was 12 when his folks divorced. Cage broke up with his girl friend of the prior four years, Jenny Wright, in 1987. He and his girl friend, actress Christina Fulton had a son for whom they share custody, Weston, born on 12/26/1990, Los Angeles. After eight years friendship with actress Patricia Arquette, they married 4/27/1995. They had first met in 1987 and at that time, went together for three weeks before their scene faded. Over the years they kept in touch while each had a child with someone else. Neither being conventional, they bought a castle in Hollywood as their home. They separated in April 1995 and Cage filed for divorce 2/24/2000, stating irreconcilable differences. Six weeks later he withdrew the petition, 3/01/2000, but Arquette opted to end their five-year marriage by filing papers on 11/17/2000, Los Angeles. Cage met Lisa Marie Presley in October 2000 at a private party where they were seen chatting amiably. They went public with their romance in May 2001, two months after she broke up with Oszajca. They both enjoy sailing along with their combined kids and divide their time between their Bel-Air homes. They married in Hawaii on 8/10/2002. Presley and Cage married in Hawaii on 8/10/2002, lasting nearly a full four months before Nic filed for divorce, 11/26/2002. The 40-year-old actor eloped with 20-year old Alice Kim, and they married on July 30, 2004 in northern California without any family or friends in attendance at the wedding. This is his third marriage.

Note his tight Venus-Saturn conjunction squaring Neptune.

That Moon-Mars is incredibly forceful in his chart - a token of how powerful partile conjunctions, oppositions, and squares of the luminaries can be.

I say this because, by every other indication, this is a well-behaved, conforming, decent, conventional chart. It's dynastic. He's a Sagittarius with Jupiter within a degree of an angle! (Aside: Sagittarius-Libra luminaries, another Venus + Jupiter luminary pattern, boosted by an angular Jupiter, for someone who enjoys "living the good life," etc.)

But, against all this (almost overly) well-behaved stuff is that Moon-Mars square. Yes, there is ferocious ambition in the chart - luminary signs, single angular planet, Moon-Mars - but there surely is a hard conflict in him (his life plays out like someone in ongoing conflict) between Mr. Well Behaved (coming from within him, not just imposed) and Mr. I Gotta Break Out Of Here.

And yes, serial marriages and lots of turmoil - Libra Moon plus the harsh Venus aspects.

Here is another good example of the trick I shared about finding important planetary patterns: He has various squares of similar orbs, especially:
Moon-Mars 0°40'
Venus-Neptune 0°54'

So, at a glance, we expect Mo/Ve=Ma/Ne. (Calculation confirms, orb 0°47'.) That puts a different twist on his particular demons in love.

I said he is dynastic... This also brings other sensitivities about the dynasty. I've always admired that he never used his family name professionally (he's a Coppola). While this is surely also strategic, it is a wild young man's decision to strike his own path. I also can never forget that this particular hound dog also became Elvis' son-in-law.

Navamsa Moon in Libra, or Novien Moon in Aquarius. Does anyone think one or the other signs is decisively, strikingly descriptive?
