As a fan of Marvel Comics from way back I welcomed the release of the newest installment of the Marvel mythology: The Avengers. As I was enjoying the movie I couldn’t help but think about the characters in astrological terms. Assuming that fictional characters can have horoscopes, here are my thoughts on the Sun Signs of the six Avengers.
Let’s consider that buffed out blond who unabashedly calls himself Thor, god of thunder.

Let’s start with guy dressed in red, white and blue: Captain America.
In astrology the Sun is, among many other things, the symbol of the father while the Moon symbolizes the mother. There are variations on this, of course, but this is the general rule. Typically this symbolism pertains to the type of relationship who had with a parent, how that parent made you feel about yourself and what qualities you most associated with that parent.
Often, however, this symbolism has a more literal manifestation. Let’s say you have the Sun in Taurus in the 2nd House. Was your father ever a real estate agent? Or how’ll about the Moon is close conjunction with Mars. Was your mother in the military or maybe an athlete? It isn’t always that simple when it works it is an amazing little astrological parlor trick.
Of course, to make this work you have to know the sign, house positions and aspects to your Sun and Moon. This requires a complete horoscope charted for the date, time and place of your birth. There are many places on the internetwhere a complete horoscope can be acquired, once you have the correct information, often at no charge.
Once you have a horoscope, you need to know the various activities and attributes associated with each sign and planet. I’ve included a brief summary of these but you can find more in any good astrological text. Once you have all these tools, it’s time to go looking for mom and dad. Remember that what’s really described in the horoscope is how that parent influenced your character and your life. Facts about what their jobs or circumstances may be interesting and fun but they are not the main issue.
As I have pointed out in previous articles, Barack Obama is the midst of a series of square aspects from transiting Saturn to his natal Saturn. This aspect is part of the cycle of Saturn and represents a period during which the President’s character and abilities will meet stiff challenges.(To see a chart with Barack Obama's natal chart in the center, his secondary progressions and his transits, click here.)
Along with this difficult aspect, Obama also is going through a prolonged square from his secondary progressed Mars to his natal Saturn. This is an aspect of frustration, conflict and a general narrowing of options. It can also indicate ill health, physical incapacity and personal attacks. Obviously this is not an easy time for Mr. Obama.
