Title of Anthony Hopkins’ memoirs We did it good boy it is an indication of his modest view of himself, considered by himself and others in childhood as “useless, hopeless.” Neither an athlete nor an academic and without friends, “I couldn’t do anything,” he says, until he dedicated himself to acting and won a scholarship to drama school, followed by training at RADA.
Since his unlikely beginnings, he has made more than 90 films, winning two Oscars, four Baftas, two Emmy Awards and an Olivier Award.
Described early in his career as a “tortured loner” with an anger problem, he says of his social alienation: “It gives me a distance to observe. I may look like a cold-hearted monster, but I’m not. We all wear masks. It’s all part of the game.”
The dominant personality in his autobiography is his father, whose “erratic” moods, “highs of manic energy,” and desolate lows hint at bipolar disorder.
Anthony Hopkins was born on December 31, 1937 at 9:15 am (biography) Port Talbot, Wales, and has a very complicated and contradictory chart. Your Capricorn Sun, Mercury and Venus are in your occult 12.th which is the area of the chart that governs the unconscious and creativity. Capricorn himself, although coated with a materialistic and capitalist brush, is also very creative: the one who stands on the threshold between the watery realms of the imagination and the earthly realm where dreams come true. Both fish and goat.
What dominates your chart is a creative, if gloomy, Grand Water Trine to Pluto in your seventhth trine Saturn in final degree, Pisces trine his Midheaven in Scorpio. It is formed into three Comets by a super confident Pluto opposite Jupiter, a creative and neurotic Saturn opposite 8th house Neptune and MC opposition IC. His inspiring and immensely talented vision is marked by multiple artistic and inventive currents. His opposition to Saturn, Neptune, also forms a square to the Sagittarius Moon, giving him sensitivity when it comes to the public, but also an early tendency toward emotional disorganization.
His Mars in Pisces is halfway between Uranus trine the Sun, Mercury and Venus, which would give him an uncompromising approach to interference and a tendency to let his opinions fly.
During the recent Los Angeles fires he lost everything he owned, but seems to have ignored it as a part of life. It occurred on January 7, 2925, when Mars was exactly conjunct his Pluto, opposite Pluto, conjunct his Jupiter, so it may have made a sharper impression than he lets on. He tends to act as if nothing affects him. There’s a telling story from his childhood, when he was sent to boarding school at age 11, and vowed never to care too much about anyone (or anything) again.
He has been married three times and has a daughter (estranged) from his first marriage. Luckily, his third marriage appears to be a happy one.
