From Mad Max to the Lethal Weapon series to Braveheart, The Patriot and What Women Want (not to mention a slew of juicy roles in between), Mel Gibson has been amusing audiences with his sly wit and warp-speed charm for nearly three decades. Back at the ranch, though, the Man from Down Under keeps plenty busy with wife Robyn and their brood of six. Is there any end in sight to Mel's reign as Hollywood heartthrob? The Stars are happy to shed some light ...

Birth Details:

January 3, 1956

Peekskill, NY

Born under a Capricorn Sun, Gibson is a very ambitious man; career-wise, he's likely to get even better the older he gets. Capricorns tend to go far, as they always have clearly-defined goals and a committed, hard-working attitude that takes them where they want to go. While this leading man may seem forever casual and relaxed, you can bet he's worked triple-time to get to his present position.

His Mars in Scorpio indicates Gibson always has a plan in mind, so studio heads had better watch out! No one will get the better of him, a quality that's further supported by his Capricorn Sun. Mars is the Planet of Passion, and that refers to sexual passion as well as career ambitions. Mars in Scorpio makes for an incredibly alluring lover, especially when it's placed in the Fifth House of Pleasure! Gibson has an incredible sex drive, he knows how to turn on the charm and loves to please and be pleased. He's sure to get what he wants in the game of love as well as in his career.

His Venus in Aquarius further speaks to his love life; this placement may have a cooling influence on Scorpio's heady, sexy appeal. Aquarius will certainly try anything once, and since his Venus lies in the Eighth House of Sex, we'll have to be content with just imagining what that means!

Aquarius's influence also may mean Gibson's attitudes toward love and marriage are somehow unconventional. His wife is also likely to be one smart lady, because Gibson is only attracted to women with a good head on their shoulders, someone who can stimulate and challenge him intellectually. We know Robyn's smart, though, just for snagging one of the hottest Hollywood actors around!

Thanks to Mercury in Capricorn, Gibson's thought processes are focused and efficient, although he might occasionally throw something oddball into the conversation as a result of probing his innermost feelings. This placement may be the one that makes marvelous Mel good at Shakespeare, the kind of roles where characterization is key. He's dynamite on stage or screen, as he can draw on tremendous reserves of focus to really 'get into the moment.' Finally, his Jupiter Conjunct Pluto indicates Gibson is lucky with money and is sure to enjoy financial success, but also speaks to faith. Gibson is likely to be in tune with a higher power or his own personal brand of spirituality, and it's that sincere demeanor (among other things) that helps to make him one of the world's favorite actors.
