Tom Felton

Tom Felton is an English actor. He played Draco Malfoy across all eight Harry Potter films, from the age of twelve.

Born on 22 September 1987 in Epsom, he has both the Sun and the Moon in Virgo. A double Virgo is somebody for whom nothing is ever quite finished: precise, self-correcting, fast to find the fault and slowest to forgive it in himself. Modest, careful, and a little anxious with it. Then the part arrives. He was twelve, and he worked on the same films for the next ten years, which meant doing his growing up on a set, on a schedule, in front of adults who were all there to do a job.

The chart is a good deal kinder about him than the part was. His Moon sits in easy contact with Mercury, which is feeling that articulates itself without a struggle: good listeners, people who explain difficult things gently, an instinctive rather than a learned sense of what somebody else is actually going through. Mercury also makes a clean contact with Uranus, a mind that reaches for the unexpected connection. None of that is the sneer. All of it is the person who had to be on set at six in the morning, every morning, for ten years, and be sneering by nine.

Then the Sun and Jupiter sit a degree from exact, and that is belief in your own scale running into a limit: over-extending, and the particular discomfort of having been confident in public and wrong. Growing up on camera means doing all of your learning in a place where everybody can watch it happen. Most people get to be fourteen in private, and get to be bad at things in a room with nobody in it.

A double Virgo spends a long time dissatisfied with work other people thought was finished years ago. That is a miserable quality at twenty two and a valuable one at forty, and it is the half of the chart that was never going to show up on screen. What it points to from here is the part he picks rather than the part he was handed at twelve.
