The Synastry of Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson

In episode 168, astrologers Kristina Martin and Tara Redfield join the show to dissect the astrological compatibility of Hollywood's enduring power couple, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson. We dive straight into their birth charts to uncover what has held this 38-year marriage together—and where the friction points lie. What We Cover in This Episode: Tom Hanks' Chart: His modest Virgo Rising and sensitive Cancer Sun in the 10th house explain why he's universally known as "America's Dad." His Leo Moon reveals a core need for play, performance, and creative expression that drives his identity both on and off screen. Mercury in Cancer adds a relatable, emotionally intelligent communication style that resonates with audiences worldwide. Rita Wilson's Chart: A loud Sagittarius Rising brings a bold, faith-driven presence (evident in her Greek Orthodox background). A powerful Jupiter/Venus conjunction in Virgo gives her a sharp editorial eye—no doubt behind her many published articles—and a stroke of good luck when it comes to health matters. Her 11th house Sun showcases her deep humanitarian nature and commitment to community. Their Synastry (Mutual Placements): Jupiter sextile Sun – The ultimate mutual cheerleader aspect, flowing both ways in a supportive, encouraging dynamic. Mercury sextile Pluto – Intuitive, telepathic communication with no fear of diving into deep, transformative conversations. Venus trine Mercury – A shared love of humor, wit, and playful intellectual banter. The Challenges: A Venus square Venus suggests their aesthetic styles and core value systems may occasionally clash. A Pluto square to the Nodes raises the question: Are there underlying control issues or power struggles in this otherwise solid union? The Final Verdict: Tune in to hear how many Venus stars this stalwart couple receives—and what their charts can teach us about long-term relationship astrology. Why Listen?
