Aneurin Barnard


Award-winning actor and singer, Aneurin Barnard was born on Friday, 8th May 1987 in Ogwr, Mid Glamorgan, Wales. I don't have his time of birth, so his horoscope will be less than 50% complete.                    
Born with the Sun in the sign of Taurus, and the Moon in Virgo, Aneurin is hard-working, down to earth and modest. Determined, patient and perhaps a bit stubborn, he knows what he wants and has probably always been aware of his innate talents. Although he needs to be emotionally fulfilled by his work, he could have a tendency to allow his head to rule his heart. In his early years, he may have been shy and perhaps this led him to keep his feelings hidden, but his natural creativity will allow him to express himself emotionally through acting and singing. Aneurin is honest, trustworthy, warm-hearted and kind.
 
The Sun in conjunction with Mercury in Aneurin's natal chart shows him to be very intelligent and he enjoys meeting people and discussing various subjects. A good conversation means a lot to him as he has a great need to share his ideas and opinions. However, sometimes he may not listen to other people's views as much as he should. Having said that, he has great skill in commanding attention. Communication comes easy for him, and he expresses himself well. This planetary influence - as well as having the Sun in Taurus and Mars in Gemini - imbues Aneurin with excellent vocal ability. This is evident in his work as an actor - he is extremely proficient at enhancing his performance by using different accents - and also in his beautiful singing voice.
 
With Venus in the sign of Aries, Aneurin is liked because he is genuine, not because he has to rely on fake charm - although he is naturally charming - and superficial behaviour. He is socially dynamic, refined, and needs harmonious surroundings. Sometimes he will be over-accommodating for the sake of peace. He has a competitive instinct, especially in matters of love, and can be prone to impulsive attractions. Venus is in a sextile aspect to Mars and shows that he gets on well with others and has many friends who love him because he makes everyone feel good about themselves, treating them with respect and affection. Aneurin hates any kind of conflict - peace, love, harmony and friendship are vitally important to him..
 
Venus in conjunction with Jupiter indicates that Aneurin is a genuinely warm, generous and affectionate young man. He is faithful to his friends and loved ones, and is an inspiration to many people. This planetary aspect suggests an abundance of wealth, so he will definitely enjoy comfort and all the good things in life - if not now, then in his later years. Love, kindness and understanding are all indicated by this planetary combination. Aneurin would be excellent in public relations, working with young people or as a counsellor. His warm personality will make him popular with almost everybody and they will respect and respond to his honesty. If there's one thing that Aneurin hates it's insincerity.
 
A trine between Venus and Saturn in Aneurin's natal chart reveals that he may be reserved about showing his affections until he's sure a person is worthwhile. Once committed, he will be totally loyal and loving, and he is more willing than most people to dedicate his time and energy to a relationship. Being in a large group of people could make him feel intimidated - he will be at his best in a one-to-one situation. This aspect shows that he has good judgement about people. It's no surprise that he is such a talented actor and singer, as Venus trine Saturn indicates a love of - and success in - music, writing, poetry, painting, and almost any of the arts. 
 
Mars in the sign of Gemini gives Aneurin superior communication skills. This planetary position is often found in the charts of journalists, reporters, and broadcasters. This is the hallmark of dynamic dialogue and is a powerful indication of acting ability. It shows that he has a charming voice that people can listen to for hours. I feel that he may be attracted to languages, and of course he is already bilingual, speaking both his native Welsh as well as English. He's a natural storyteller - acting is a form of storytelling and is the reason he's such a brilliant actor. I definitely see great writing talent in Aneurin's chart. He is young in mind, body and spirit and probably has a great affinity with children.

 Mars is in an opposition aspect to Saturn in Aneurin's natal chart. This is really interesting for many reasons - particularly as it is also present in the birth chart of King Richard III, whom Aneurin so beautifully portrayed in the TV drama 'The White Queen'. I have come across this phenomenon frequently when studying the charts of actors. Particularly if the role they play involves the portrayal of a real person, the actor's chart resonates with that person's own chart. In Richard's chart, Mars is in a Fire Sign opposite Saturn in an Air Sign - in Aneurin's chart Mars is in an Air Sign opposite Saturn in a Fire Sign. A mirror image of the same elements with exactly the same planetary aspect. Not only that - Richard's Saturn is located at 20 degrees, and so is Aneurin's!
 
So what does this mean? With Richard III this planetary influence symbolised his disability - scoliosis, curvature of the spine. Medically, Saturn rules anything to do with bones. But this planetary aspect also gave him great courage, endurance and the ability to deal with the harsh realities of life. Obviously, I don't know Aneurin's medical history, but psychologically this planetary influence provides stamina and determination. Emotionally, there could be repressed anger, and a person with this aspect can feel weighed down by some kind of responsibility. Mars in aspect to Saturn can sometimes be an indication of holding in emotions and feelings of resentment from the past. Usually something in childhood that caused them to feel vulnerable or frightened. If this is true for Aneurin, then it's possible he may still occasionally experience a feeling of inferiority, but his past experiences will also give him great strength of character.

The Royal Baby - A Daughter For William & Kate

The newest addition to the British Royal Family was born on Saturday, 2nd May 2015 at 08:34am in London, England . Her Sun is in the sign of Taurus, the Moon in Libra, and the Ascendant in Cancer.

With the Sun in the sign of Taurus, Prince George's sister will be calm, patient and determined. Even-tempered but occasionally inflexible and stubborn, the new princess will be a hard-working member of the Royal Family. However, she may have to strive to develop a unique sense of her own self-worth. Positioned in sector 11 of the natal chart, the Sun here will give the princess a very gregarious and sociable nature. She will be very independent, individualistic and have a strong attraction to humanitarian issues. The Sun in a square aspect to Jupiter will bring an easy-going personality. The new princess will be optimistic, generous and have an excellent sense of humour - a proper little ray of sunshine! With the Sun in a trine aspect to Pluto, there will be tremendous creative potential and she will attain some notable achievements during her life. She will be very influential.

The Moon is in the sign of Libra in the birth chart of the new princess. This will give her a love of beauty and elegance, and the kind of social ease and gracefulness that we have seen in her mother Kate, as well as in her late grandmother, Diana. The Moon in sector four of the natal chart will imbue the princess with great emotional strength and sensitivity. She will feel a strong sense of belonging within the family framework - excellent for a member of the Royal Family. She will gain pleasure from her royal status and duties but will value her privacy and view her home as a sanctuary in which to retreat from the public gaze. The Moon in a positive trine aspect to Venus will ensure that the princess is diplomatic and a keen supporter of not only her family but also various charities, organisations and good causes. In an opposition to Uranus and in a square aspect to Pluto, the Moon shows that the princess will have a unique personality which will bring her mass popularity.

At the moment of her birth, the sign of Cancer was rising on the Eastern Horizon. This is the princess' natal Ascendant. She will be kind, caring and compassionate. It's always intriguing how certain astrological patterns occur frequently within families, throughout the generations. The princess' Cancer Ascendant resonates with her mother's Moon, father's Sun and Moon, grandfather's Sun, and her grandmother Diana's Sun. Her Rising Sign is also polarised to her brother George's Moon sign - Capricorn - and is in the same element (Water) as his Scorpio Ascendant. So many strong astrological family connections. 

Mercury is in its own sign of Gemini in the princess' natal chart. This is an amazing planetary position and emphasises everything to do with communication and intellect. She will have a constant need for mental stimulation, and will be extremely intelligent, witty and articulate. Mercury in sector 11 of the birth chart shows that she will be very astute and perceptive. Enthusiastic and outspoken, the princess will be full of original ideas and opinions. Mercury is opposite Saturn in the natal chart indicating that she will be a deeply thoughtful person, reliable, and honest. Mercury in a square aspect to the Midheaven shows that the princess will have a very professional attitude towards her duties, being in tune with the public. However, she may, in later life, be indecisive about which career path to take.

Venus in Gemini reveals that the princess will be very charming, with a love of words, and a sparkling personality. She will endear and enchant everyone who meets her with her instinctive ease of communication and the ability to listen. She will be loved by everyone. Venus is sector 12 indicates a love of - and possibly a talent for - art, music, drama and photography. She will love fashion and be very image-conscious. She will have a rich imagination and be highly idealistic and romantic.

Mars is in the sign of Taurus in the princess' birth chart bringing deep reserves of energy and an enormous capacity for hard work. She will show a strong sense of business initiative and a passionate interest in 'green' issues - conservation, the environment, etc. Perhaps, like her grandfather, Charles, a love of gardening too. Mars in sector 11 will give the princess an ability to undertake projects with great confidence and enthusiasm. She will have a powerful need to contribute to the betterment of society and humanity as a whole. 

The newest member of the Cambridge family will be a force to be reckoned with. A very dynamic, beautiful, young lady who is very likely to become the next 'People's Princess'.
