Dylan Sprouse

Dylan Sprouse is fifteen minutes older than his twin brother, Cole. Their mother later posted the exact times: Dylan at 7:50 in the morning on August 4, 1992, and Cole at 8:05, in Arezzo, Italy, where their parents were teaching English. The family moved back to California a few months later, and before the boys were old enough for school they were sharing roles on television, alternating as a single child so that a production could work around child-labor limits on hours.

That makes Dylan's chart a rare thing for astrologers: an almost identical copy exists, belonging to someone who has lived a parallel life. His Sun is in Leo, with Mercury, retrograde, and Venus also in Leo, all three in the twelfth house, where things happen out of view. Leo wants to shine, and in the twelfth that desire tends to work in private or through a shared identity. For much of his childhood, Dylan's public self was literally half of a pair.

Mars in Gemini sits at the top of his chart, in the tenth house, which is where astrologers look for a person's career and public standing. Gemini is the sign of the twins. It is hard to imagine a more on-the-nose placement for a man whose career was built on being one of two. The brothers shared the role of Adam Sandler's adopted son in Big Daddy in 1999, then became stars of the Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, Dylan playing the mischievous Zack and Cole the careful Cody.

His rising sign is Virgo, by only a degree, and Jupiter in Virgo sits in the first house. Virgo is analytical and studious, and after the Disney years both twins stepped away from acting to attend New York University. Dylan studied video game design, and Cole studied archaeology.

The Moon is in Libra in the third house, which governs siblings and early surroundings. Libra is the sign of partnership and balance, and a Libra Moon in the house of siblings suggests that emotional balance comes through a close sibling bond. The brothers have spoken often about how much their relationship anchored them through child stardom.

After college Dylan went in an unexpected direction, opening a meadery in Brooklyn, All-Wise Meadery, making honey wine. He later returned to acting on his own terms, in films such as Banana Split, the After series and Beautiful Disaster, while Cole found his own fame on Riverdale. For the first time, the twins were building separate careers.

Uranus and Neptune, both retrograde in Capricorn, fall in his fifth house of romance and creativity. In 2023 he married the Hungarian model Barbara Palvin in Budapest, after several years together.

Saturn, retrograde in Aquarius, lies in his sixth house of daily work, adding a self-disciplined streak to a man who has spoken about wanting to build things with his hands. The Leo Sun is now his alone to show; the Gemini at the top of his chart will always remind him that it began as a duet.
