Smart, talented and wickedly funny, actor Jack Nicholson is a master of both drama and comedy. Who could forget his performance as a demented writer in the horror flick The Shining? Or his riveting, Oscar-winning performance as a mental patient in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest? With a career spanning five decades, and with 12 Oscar nominations to date (eight for Best Actor and four for Best Supporting Actor), he's the most nominated male actor in Academy Awards history. So what makes this intriguing Taurus tick? Let's check out his chart and see!

The eccentric
Born on April 22, 1937, Nicholson has Sun in practical, predictable Taurus. Predictable, you ask? Nicholson? Actually, his earthy Taurean nature is a bit, well, twisted by unconventional Uranus, the planet of brilliance and rebelliousness. This aspect accounts for Nicholson's genius as an actor. It also gives him a talent for over-the-top-maniacal performances, like the Joker in Batman. What's more, if his reported 11 a.m. birth time is accurate, he has Moon in Virgo, another Earth sign. Such strong Earth influences heighten his ability to make even the weirdest characters extraordinarily real. Additionally, with Mercury in Taurus trine Jupiter in earth-sign Capricorn, he has a practical mind with a head for business.

The lion
Adding to Nicholson's dramatic flair is ascendant in Leo, the sign of the performer. But there's a curveball here as well: Pluto, the planet of the Underworld, conjuncts his ascendant. This aspect gives him a complicated personality, given to willfulness, control issues and a tendency to go to extremes. However, in the world of film, the most interesting stories have compelling Pluto themes of psychopathy, obsession, jealousy, subterfuge, death and transformation. Pluto is also associated with psychology. Add this all together and we understand Nicholson's ability to bring a dark, even malevolent energy to his performances. He also has a sixth sense about what motivates a character, which adds to the realism.

The player
Not surprising, Nicholson's private life is as remarkable - and unconventional - as his career. He's allegedly had sex with 2,000 women, undoubtedly due to the adventurous combination of Venus in Aries and Mars in Sagittarius, along with his super-sensual Sun in Taurus. And having a strong Uranus hasn't helped in the domesticity department, either - Nicholson has had five children by four different women. His 17-year relationship to Anjelica Huston, a Cancer, was his longest. Like Nicholson, she has Sun conjunct Uranus and thus was drawn to his eccentric personality.

Secret childhood
Unconventional Uranus also shows up in Nicholson's early life. He's the son of June Frances Nicholson, a showgirl, but there's some dispute about who his father is. Adding to the confusion, Nicholson grew up believing that his grandparents were his parents and his mother was his sister. That is, until a Newsweek magazine journalist told him otherwise during an interview in 1974. Such secretiveness is the domain of Nicholson's Pluto in the 12^th house of secrets.

As you may have guessed, complex charts like Nicholson's that bestow brilliance inevitably accompany great challenges in one's personal life. Whatever demons he's had to overcome, Nicholson's artistic gifts as an actor, writer and director has made him one of the great icons of Hollywood.
