Benedict Cumberbatch’s birth chart
Mars in Virgo
19 July 1976, 12:00, Hammersmith, United Kingdom
A reading speaks to the person it was written for, so this one talks to Benedict as “you”.
Mars is a planet of physical energy and action. It rules the Aries sign and traditionally (before Pluto was discovered) also Scorpio. Mars is also one of the personal planets, because on average it stays in one sign for less than 2 months and therefore has an important influence on our personality.
In personal horoscope, Mars is connected to action, energy, competitiveness, hot-bloodedness and impetuousness. The position of Mars tells us in what way and in what form you express your activity. Mars also indicates your ambitions and the work you do, which is connected to these ambitions.
Mars in Virgo
You are probably a rather restless and nervous person who is always busy doing something and is rarely leisurely and lazy. You are extremely tidy and pedantic, everything you do is well-considered and you certainly don't go banging your head against a brick wall. You probably look and behave nicely and are well-mannered, you have a dynamic and fast, but certainly not difficult or suffocating character, but you are even too reserved and rarely completely relax in company or environment that you are not familiar with. You take care of your body, you are into sports or recreation and probably don't have problems with obesity. You are very fit and move with agility. You love with devotion, but also find it difficult to completely relax, also in intimate relationships, and therefore usually don't appear as the most passionate person.
Mars in 11th house
Often you focus all your life and all your energy to charity and similar projects. You are a humanist, involved in fighting for human and animal rights, you are interested in ecology. You work very well in groups or under patronage of a bigger organization, you yourself often introduce novelties into existing and accepted systems – in science and spirituality or in computer science and mathematics. You like making all sorts of acquaintances and friendships, but you are basically a naive person and aren't always the best judge of what company is actually cool for you.
Mars sextile Uranus
You have a dynamic and flexible, sociable and playful nature and open spirit. You have fresh approaches and enough charm to awake interest and affection in other people. You are interested in novelties and technical things and often have a talent to work in these areas.
Mars square Neptune
You are emotional, sensitive and have strong intuition, but it is often not of much help to you; whether you don't follow it or you place too much importance on different possible perspectives, which are often only your mind constructs and fantasies or even your escape from reality and this actually distances you from the right path. You indulge in daydreaming and sometimes you spend too much time and attention daydreaming, so you are caught in a vicious circle of inactivity and stressful and depressive emotions.
Mars sextile MC
You are a dynamic, flexible and always active person, you don't do anything by force. You have a good sense of doing the right activity at the right time, because you have good instincts and you make decisions quickly and also react quickly in every situation. You often have good connections, which you also know how to cash in well.
