![]() ![]() He's the lone rider who lives in the darkness at the edge of town. Aquarians are the very essence of understated charisma, continually juggling the need for community and their natural calling with complete detachment. Like a natural-born Aquarius, Adams/Chisholm gets a kick out of swimming against the tide and wearing the badge of the outsider with pride. They are star signs who thrive in large groups while maintaining their distance. Only an Aquarius could ever lead such a merry band of dysfunctional personalities. While they are predominantly motivated by money and fame, Chris/Sam has skin in the game. He may be the gluethat holds the operation together, but he also feels quite a bit different than the others. Played in the original 1960 John Sturges classic by Yul Brynner, Chris (later renamed "Sam Chisholm" for Denzel Washinton to play in Antoine Fuqua's 2016 remake) is the leader of a rag-tag gang of hired guns. Why? Because he's disciplined, deliberate, keeps his own counsel, and makes good on his promises. Other characters in the "Unforgiven," such as Little Bill (Gene Hackman) and English Bob (Richard Harris) are flamboyant, larger than life types who talk a good talk - but when it comes to the crunch, it's only Munny who walks out of the saloon alive. At the crucial moment, it's Munny, not the Schofield Kid who has the cool, calm, and collected nature of the true Capricorn to hold his nerve and deliver the goods when needed. Yet, Munny's persona is merely a clever Capricorn tactic.Īs a true goat of the zodiac, Munny is no braggart, he's a man of few words and lets his actions speak for themselves. His stoic, unassuming manner is frowned upon by the "Schofield Kid" (Jaimz Woolvet), who eventually persuades the former outlaw to pick up his guns in search of a bounty on a low-life who disfigured a prostitute. However, we see him as a dedicated family man and farmer striving to do what's right. This can lead to an overbearing, braggart type of personality, but when the riders approach, the bullets fly, and wrongs need righting, there's no better partner to have at your side than a Leo.Ĭapricorns can be so cautious, plodding, and serious that people underestimate and dismiss their true power - a prime example being one of the greatest Western characters ever created, William Munny in Clint Eastwood's Oscar-winning "Unforgiven." Viewers of the film get an inkling of Munny's hard-drinking, hell-raising, murderous past. ![]() On the downside, like all Leos, Cogburn wants to be perceived as unbreakable and is terrified of admitting to any weakness. The strength and vitality of the Leo roars to the surface when it is needed most, and Rooster dazzles and captivates and shakes his metaphorical mane with the brash confidence of the astrological lion. Although he may be worn and torn and well past his prime, Cogburn still packs a punch. His eye patch gives him the appearance of the Wild West's very own version of the Norse god Odin. Like a natural Leo, Cogburn steals every scene he's in with his fiery, commanding presence. The "Duke" is in fine fettle as the aging lawman, and it's no surprise it earned him his first and only Oscar while also spawning the 1975 sequel "Rooster Cogburn." This fits Rooster Cogburn in "True Grit." Although the Coen brothers' 2010 remake has its merits, Jeff Bridges is no match for John Wayne's portrayal in Henry Hathaway's 1969 original. Another thing you should know about Cancers is wrong them once and they'll carry a grudge for life. It can be admirable, but it can all too often lead to breakdown and burnout. Pretending they're okay when they're not is very much a Cancerian trait. The Cancer wants to share, but fear of being ridiculed and allowing others to use their vulnerability against them often sees them retreat into their shell rather than lay lavishly on a therapist's couch. The man is a Cancer to the bone.Īnother aspect of Cullen that positively reeks of the cosmic crab is he's hounded by pain but finds it near impossible to confide in anyone. His violent tendencies are countered by the fact that his every word and gesture appears to be weighted in sadness and haunted by grief. Yet, what helps elevate "Hell on Wheels" above the simple formula of a revenge thriller is Bohannan's character. This is reminiscent of Cullen Bohannan in AMC's Western epic "Hell on Wheels." The former Confederate States Army Captain is on a mission and that's to avenge the slaughter of his family during the American Civil War. ![]()
