Matt Damon first caught the eye of moviegoers in The Rainmaker, but his true star turn came when he mesmerized audiences in Best Screenplay Academy Award Winner Good Will Hunting, which Damon co-wrote with his childhood pal Ben Affleck. Since Hunting, Damon has enjoyed a full plate of roles that prove his range as an actor, including a disturbing turn in The Talented Mr.  Ripley (opposite pal Affleck's real-life on-again, off-again love, Gwyneth Paltrow), a sci-fi role in Titan A.E. and an adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy best-seller All the Pretty Horses. Furthermore, more lovelies are likely to be gracing his muscled arm: Claire Danes, Minnie Driver, Winona Ryder and Penelope Cruz are just a few of the stars with whom he's been romantically linked. Is this boy ever going to settle down? The Stars will tell ...

Born under a Libran Sun, Damon values partnership and, like most Librans, is looking for harmony and peace. However, Damon's Sun is Conjunct Uranus, which means he's got a bit of a wild streak in him. You can expect the unexpected in this leading man, since there's always something rumbling beneath the surface. Further, Damon's chart shows Mars Conjunct Pluto in Virgo. In this case, Pluto's affinity for raw power and ambition are tempered by Virgo's cautious, detail-oriented energy, which tends to put things in a tidy little package. The bottom line here is that Damon has a plan; behind that sweet smile are nerves of steel and determination aplenty.

Damon's Moon in Capricorn paints him as a very ambitious young man, explaining that Oscar he won at the tender age of 27. The flip side to this ambition may be that Damon is a bit abrupt or reserved about his feelings; could this be why former flame Minnie Driver got the cold shoulder in seemingly no time flat? Even so, Damon's Venus in Scorpio signals quite a bit of heat in the love department-and may have had something to do with his long-term connection with Scorpio Winona Ryder. With Scorpio Conjunct Neptune in his chart, Damon is likely to be a real dreamer, someone who views relationships through rose-colored glasses. Since it's Scorpio we're talking about, some good sex can keep those glasses in the pink for a long time!

With Saturn in Taurus retrograde (traveling backwards), Hollywood's hottest sensation has a hard time with material possessions-he never feels he has enough. Consequently, that Oscar may not look golden to Damon for long. The good news, though, is that Damon's Mercury is Conjunct Pluto, meaning he can easily get his message out to the masses, and in a powerful way. Good Will Hunting is no flash in the pan for this talent; the Stars are shining brightly on his future as both a writer and an actor.
