Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are a compelling duo. The exotic beauty -- who has combined sexiness with motherhood -- and this handsome actor make a fascinating pair. The glare of publicity and pressure of stardom are enough to crush any couple, so the survival of their relationship continues to be a subject of speculation. Astrology's spotlight on the subject produces both hope and doubt. Angelina, born June 4, 1975, is a Gemini while Brad, born December 18, 1963, is a Sagittarius. These are opposing signs but in astrology, as in life, opposites often attract one another. Both need movement, freedom and variety in life, which should serve their relationship well.

Angelina does have her conservative side with Venus, the Ascendant (appearance) and Saturn (responsibility) in caring and protective Cancer. This sign is opposite Capricorn and makes an appropriate partner for Brad's planets there, which also seek to ensure stability and security. The wild cards in this relationship deck, though, are Angie's three planets in independent and impulsive Aries. She has a conjunction of the Moon, Mars and expansive Jupiter here that counters her cautious Cancer planets with an inherent need to take risks.

Angie, however, has dreamy Neptune opposite her Sun, a positive expression of her idealism, but a challenge to settling for anything that seems like an ordinary relationship. Brad, of course, is no ordinary guy, but underneath the glamour and fame he's someone with a rather down-to-earth attitude. The astrological evidence is a collection of planets in practical Capricorn. Brad has the Moon (emotions and habits), Venus (love), Mercury (intellect) and Mars (action) in this most orderly sign.
