The very interesting Tilda Swinton is a Scorpio arthouse and blockbuster actress. Tilda’s Sun, Neptune and Mercury are in Scorpio, and when we see so many planets in Scorpio there is often an inheritance of some kind from the family. In Tilda’s case, she can trace her Anglo-Scots family back to the 9th century. Tilda was raised in London and attended the same school as Diana, Princess of Wales.

Tilda has Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn which amps her ability to take on responsibility and Tilda showed this in her education. Tilda graduated with a degree in Social and Political Studies and has two Honorary Doctorates. Tilda’s Capricorn Jupiter and Saturn would give her discipline and she would apply that discipline with the obsession of a person with a Scorpio stellium. Tilda really has a recipe for success in her chart. Tilda’s Venus is in Sagittarius and her Mars is in Cancer trining her Scorpio placements. This Mars makes Tilda comfortable with her sexuality and we have seen that in her work and in the photos she has done. Tilda’s Moon is in character loving Gemini and indeed, Tilda is able to take on character as well as any actor around. Tilda has a bit of an unusual life and has Uranus in Leo where it is most uncomfortable and must be balanced. Her Pluto and North Node are in hard-working Virgo which ties itself to her Jupiter and Saturn in Capricorn making her a hard working actor and one that would notice the small things as well as carry the load with such a combination in Capricorn.

Tilda’s career started with arthouse work and in classic performances. The most popular of them in the United States was her role in “Orlando” where Tilda shined. Tilda won the Volpi Cup award for her role in “Edward II.” Tilda was also involved in a performance piece of art where she was on display for a week, asleep, in a glass case. Tilda is loved by the fashion world for her style but also for her work with Viktor and Rolf where they made all the models look like Tilda, and she read one of her own poems. Tilda is self assured with such Capricorn and Scorpio and is attracted to the physical expression that being comfortable with yourself and your body provides. Tilda began her career with these interesting expressions of her reality and used her body to convey the message as well as her mind with verse (Gemini/Moon) (Sag./Venus).

Tilda went on to the mainstream in movies that were popular and allowed her to project herself in her own way where she won the Academy Award for her role in “Michael Clayton.” She appeared with some of the strongest actors in films such as “The Beach” with DiCaprio, “Vanilla Sky” with Tom Cruise,” and “Burn After Reading” with the Coen Brothers and George Clooney. In each role, Tilda appears strong and sure which is a gift from her Jupiter in Capricorn, and she sinks into the role with intensity with a Sun and other planets in Scorpio and Mars in Cancer driving her. Tilda would be able to get in touch with both motivation of a character and emotions with her Cancer/Scorpio trines as well as the physical reality of a character with her earthy Virgo/Capricorn energy. Tilda seems to “own” the roles she plays yet she is a part of the whole which Mars in Cancer would help her to become. She is strong in supporting roles, and Mars in Cancer with all that Scorpio would cause Tilda to become “family” with the cast and mold herself to the other actors in a way that is believable.

So far as her personal life we see Tilda’s Moon in Gemini and Venus in Sagittarius and the duality there with the fact that Tilda is married and has an open relationship with her husband that allows her another lover. With so much Scorpio in her chart and being big on integrity, Tilda would do this openly so as to stay true to her Capricorn Jupiter and Saturn. Tilda still expresses her open sexuality due to not only her duality but also her Mars in Cancer trining her Scorpio stellium which would give her a strong sexuality and need to bring that into a “homey” situation. Thus, she has her husband and lover who know one another and thinks of this situation as one that is working for her while she credits the men as to why. Tilda’s quotes show that she sees her lover as part of an extended family in a way.

Tilda’s style is one of integrity and comfort in her sexuality. Tilda surprised many people when she appeared at the Academy Awards with no makeup but as her makeup artist suggests and as we can see, her skin is so clear and lovely with so much light it would almost be wrong to put foundation on it! That is not to say that Tilda won’t wear makeup because she does but her need for integrity would move her to feel more comfortable in less and so would her comfort in her own body.

Tilda has very expressive eyes as a Scorpio will and in close-ups she does her eyes justice with the lack of expression she shows in many of them. She gives off a Pluto-like feel of mystery with her sheer skin and it’s light tone and her lack of dark eyelashes and lipstick. When her face is bare like it often is, we see Tilda both “deep” and “intense” as well as serious, a nod to her Capricorn planets.

She is a woman that is very secure in her look and one that has given some thought to how she presents. With Leo/Uranus, she has come up with an unusual look that both pleases and causes interest. Unlike most blonds, Tilda does not sport a tan and in leaving her face its natural color she shows herself to be “otherworldly” and mysterious as well as very much “her self.” She is true to herself more than most actresses in choosing to ignore all the trappings that tan and make up allow and exposes herself to us as she is. The choice to show herself in a natural way is not only provocative, it is sexual as it is bare.

Tilda has small features so she wisely keeps her hair short and in a reddish color that helps draw the eye to her face which has such small features. When one has such small eyes and lips one should keep their hair short to flatter their features and allow them to be seen.

Being a Scorpio, Tilda favors black gowns and with her light skin she again seems mysterious yet honest. Often she will choose a plain black gown with very little embellishment in keeping with her style that rejects being overly made up and covered in “bling.” For roles, Tilda seems to change into a character as her hair is dyed another color and makeup is applied so we see who she has become and not “Tilda” as herself. She has had brown, white blond hair, and blond hair in different roles. In changing her look for each character, Tilda would enjoy the process because Scorpio loves to transform, and her Gemini Moon would love to take on character at any time. Still, Tilda has a style of her own when she appears sans makeup in lovely gowns that flatter her figure giving us a presentation that is very much like herself when she appears on the red carpet.

We can expect more from Tilda; she is a hard worker and would carry her style well into her older years with her Capricorn Jupiter and Saturn and stay “useful” as well as relevant with Scorpio Sun. I enjoy Tilda in roles that she has done and I am one who can’t wait for her next film!
