Sun in the tenth is a classic placement for an actor, and in the sign Cancer, it indicates Tom Hanks' emotional depth and sensitivity. The warmer aspects of Cancer, however, are somewhat mitigated by Venus in Gemini (witty, glib, verbose) and Ascendant in Virgo (analytical, perfectionist), providing an interesting mix of qualities. Tom's comedic genius undoubtedly comes form his lunar South Node in the ninth in Gemini, but this also indicates a strong social consciousness, so that we would expect his work to convey message or content which goes beyond entertainment value. His Jupiter in Virgo conjunt Pluto in the twelfth indicates sincerity and an ability to be convincing in unspoken ways. Venus in Gemini conjunct midheaven testifies to a very positive public image and to great success as a true artist. Mars in Pisces is the focal determinator of the chart showing Tom as a pioneer always willing to break new ground. This is confirmed by the Part of Fortune in Libra in the first and indicates that he will continually re-define himself as an artist. Saturn in Scorpio conjunct North Node indicates a long and successful career.
