What comes to mind when you think of an ultimate modern American male acting superstar? Who would you like to pose in a picture with to impress your skeptical co-worker named Nancy? According to many, the two top names that come to mind are two Cancer demigods: Tom Hanks (born July 9, 1956) and Tom Cruise (born July 3, 1962). The two silver screen superstars each have an unmatched box office hit resumes, countless of fan clubs, and dozens of memorable roles. They each stand for hours at their respective premieres to sign every last autograph and to pose for virtually every international photographer. And what qualities do these two share? One big unifying element is a fame loving Leo Moon. It gives them an extra boost of confidence during interviews and on stage and innate desire to be in the spotlight. Hanks however is more of a humble soul thanks to his Pisces Mars and subdued Cancer Mercury. Cruise is clearly more forceful with a very determined Taurus Mars and attention loving Venus in Leo. He loves making sure that his points come across with his Gemini Mercury. His chart is ruled by the outspoken planet of communication and relations. But what Hanks lacks in confidence department, he makes up with a very consistent work ethic. His chart is ruled by House number 10 and you can bet he’ll be competing for the best projects until the very late stages of his career.
