Astrology / Celebrities  Though he may seem to fit to a 't' the title of 'Latin Lover,' sexy Spanish actor Antonio Banderas rejects the label since, as he claims, he doesn't even know what it means. 'Is it a man walking on the beach, winking at the girls and looking for going to bed? Is it someone who wears a lot of gold chains and rings and sits at the bar? Because this is not me! I am very, very Latin, but not so much lover,' the star protested in an interview with Biography magazine. Still, that doesn't mean his fans can't appreciate his incredible charm, grace and good looks ...
His hopes for a pro soccer career dashed early on, Banderas turned to acting and soon landed with the prestigious National Theater of Spain. Banderas next teamed up with Spanish director Pedro Almodovar in the series of films (most notably Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown and Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down) that would establish his movie career. His first U.S. film, The Mambo Kings, was a true challenge, since the actor spoke no English! He turned in an incredible performance by learning his lines phonetically. More recent stateside efforts include Philadelphia (opposite Tom Hanks), Evita (opposite Madonna) and The Mask of Zorro (opposite Anthony Hopkins). Judging by his American bride, actress Melanie Griffith, it appears that Banderas plans to stay awhile!

Born with his Sun in Leo, Banderas is dramatic, ambitious and as proud as the Lion that symbolizes this Sign. It's natural that Banderas gravitated toward acting, since Leo is the Sign of the Actor; those born under its influence tend to be very fun and creative and can easily command the attention of others. Banderas is likely to be quite romantic as well, although he might seem a bit vain due to Leo's natural focus on the self. His sunny disposition-and that undeniable sex appeal-will usually win the day. Since the actor's Sun is Conjunct Uranus, the Planet of Rebellion, Banderas gets an extra dose of vitality and magnetic charm. His creative energies are ultra-expressive and quite imaginative. This aspect may also help explain Banderas's urge to move behind the cameras, as with Crazy in Alabama, the 1999 film he directed which starred his wife. That Leo tendency to say 'I'm the boss!' is magnified by Uranus's presence.
Due to his Moon in Aries, Banderas is almost assured of success. With the Ram presiding over his emotions, he's competitive, headstrong, fiery and quick to rush into things. Banderas may be a bit undisciplined when it comes to his feelings; he may also have a quick temper. With his Aries Moon in the First House of Self, it's hard for him to keep his feelings hidden. Banderas's Moon is also Square Saturn, the Planet of Responsibility. As a result, he may at times appear distant and somewhat cold.
With a Rising Sign of Pisces, Banderas comes across to the world (and to his wife) as dreamy, romantic and very emotionally supportive. He's sensitive and intuitive, especially as underscored by his First House Moon, which heightens his intuitive powers even as it increases his moodiness. His Pisces Rising also increases his creativity, and combined with his Mercury in Leo makes for the mark of a good storyteller. Banderas may be prone to exaggeration as a result of Leo's influence on his Communication Planet, but he'll always be entertaining.
The actor's Venus in Virgo pegs him as a man of discerning taste. With his Planet of Love ruled by this exacting Sign, he's picky and critical where relationships are concerned; he may even be a bit reserved. Banderas won't settle for anything less than perfection in a mate-looks like he's found it in Griffith! Since Banderas's Venus Conjuncts Pluto, the Planet of Raw Power, he is a veritable love magnet who can get whomever he wants. This aspect and Mars's Square to Pluto also dramatically heighten his sex drive.
With his Passion Planet, Mars, in Gemini, Banderas finds outlets for his energies through intellectual channels. He loves to learn and will debate a subject just for fun. He also craves mental stimulation and will move on to something else if things aren't humming along. The Virgo and Gemini in his chart combine to give Banderas an ample dose of nervous, Mercurial energy.
