Note: Nicholas Braun's exact birth time isn't on record. Planetary signs are calculated for noon on his birth date and are likely accurate, but the rising sign and house placements are unknown... and the Moon sign should be treated as approximate if he was born near a sign change.

Actor known for playing the lovably bumbling Cousin Greg in Succession.

What the chart reveals about Nicholas Braun: the temperament beneath the artistry, the drives that shape the work, the private register behind the public one...

The Sun lands in Taurus for Nicholas Braun, giving a deeply embodied nature that finds identity through the physical world — through comfort, beauty, and the pleasure of things that are well-made and well-chosen. The senses are the guide here, and they rarely steer wrong.

The private register of the chart is a Scorpio Moon — Transformation is the emotional mode — Scorpio Moon doesn't move through feelings so much as it is changed by them. What goes in does not come out the same. The processing is not comfortable, but what emerges from it is real.

In his personal life, Nicholas's Venus in Gemini is playful, light-handed, and genuinely delighted by the people it loves — the affection comes through in humor, in the specific attention it pays to what makes someone laugh, in the quality of conversation it creates and returns to.

As a creative figure, Nicholas's Mercury in Taurus leaves its mark on the way his mind takes in and expresses ideas. Once Taurus Mercury has formed a position, it holds it with a tenacity that can frustrate people who expect more flexibility. The stability of the thinking is the same quality that makes it trustworthy. The two things are inseparable.

The chart's Mars brings a disruptive quality to drive — Aquarius Mars breaks what needs breaking, challenges what needs to be questioned, and refuses to sustain effort toward goals it has decided are wrong. The energy goes to the real thing or not at all.

The chart speaks through Earth — Nicholas is most at home in the tangible, the reliable, the thing that was built over time and holds. Fixed energy runs through the chart, giving Nicholas extraordinary staying power and a depth of commitment that is rare... once decided, they are difficult to move. A concentration of planets in Capricorn gives the chart a distinct Capricorn undertone... amplifying those themes alongside the core Taurus energy. With 5 retrograde planets natally, much of Nicholas's energy turns inward... a rich interior life that quietly shapes everything he puts into the world.

Chart Interpretations

Birth time unknown. Sign placements (Sun, Moon, planets) are accurate. House placements and Rising sign are estimated from noon and may not reflect the actual chart.

☉

Sun in TaurusHouse 10 (est.)

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, and the Sun here builds identity through patience, sensory engagement, and the slow accumulation of what lasts. Earth grounds solar expression in the material world, making comfort, beauty, and reliability central to your sense of self. Fixed modality means change feels genuinely threatening even when necessary ... you build to last, but occasionally build around the wrong things. A concrete behavioral tendency is loyalty that borders on stubbornness: you commit deeply and rarely revise, which is both your greatest strength and the source of your most preventable struggles.

☽

Moon in ScorpioHouse 4 (est.)

Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign, and the Moon is in its fall here ... not comfortable, but extraordinarily potent and psychologically formidable. Water means your feelings run at depths that surprise even you; Fixed modality means they do not dissolve easily, and emotional memories persist with striking longevity. You crave real intimacy but guard your own inner world fiercely, granting access slowly and rarely forgetting a betrayal. A concrete tendency is the test: consciously or not, you often probe relationships to see if trust is real before you offer yours ... understanding this about yourself allows you to choose that test deliberately rather than running it as an unconscious barrier.

☿

Mercury in TaurusHouse 10 (est.)

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, and Mercury here thinks slowly, practically, and with a strong preference for ideas that can be built into something real. Earth grounds the mind in the concrete and sensory; you retain information best when it connects to experience rather than abstraction. Fixed modality means your opinions, once formed, are held with real conviction ... you are not easily moved by clever argument alone. A concrete tendency is the intellectual slow build: you may not be first to speak in a room, but what you say when you do has been turned over carefully and lands with a credibility that faster minds sometimes lack.

♀

Venus in GeminiHouse 11 (est.)

Gemini is a Mutable Air sign, and Venus here falls in love with minds ... with wit, unexpected ideas, and the pleasure of a conversation that could go anywhere. Air makes your love nature social, curious, and communicatively alive; Mutable modality keeps attraction multi-directional and resistant to the fixity that deep commitment can feel like. You are charming, playful, and genuinely interesting to be around. A concrete tendency is a restlessness that can read as inconsistency: you are not fickle so much as genuinely stimulated by variety, and the relational work is finding a partner whose range is wide enough to keep your interest engaged at the depth you are actually capable of.

♂

Mars in AquariusHouse 7 (est.)

Aquarius is a Fixed Air sign, and Mars here fights for ideas, for principles, and for the freedom of the collective rather than for narrow personal gain. Air channels your drive into intellectual and social domains; Fixed modality gives you the staying power to pursue a cause long after others have moved on. You are most energized by work that matters beyond yourself and by problems that require original thinking. A concrete tendency is the conviction held so firmly it becomes inflexible: this placement's idealism is genuine and its commitment admirable, but the Fixed Air quality can make your vision of how things should be as difficult to revise as the systems you are trying to change.

♃

Jupiter in TaurusHouse 10 (est.)

Taurus is a Fixed Earth sign, and Jupiter here grows through patience, material stewardship, and the slow cultivation of genuine abundance. Earth roots your expansiveness in the concrete; you grow most meaningfully through what you build, invest in, and develop with sustained care. Fixed modality gives that growth remarkable staying power ... what Jupiter in Taurus builds tends to endure. A concrete tendency is the pleasure that tips into excess: Jupiter amplifies Taurus's already strong appetite for comfort, beauty, and material security, and the productive discernment is learning the difference between genuine abundance and the accumulation that is actually a form of anxiety.

♄

Saturn in CapricornHouse 5 (est.)

℞

Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign, and Saturn is in its domicile here ... the planet of discipline and long-term mastery in the sign it rules, producing one of the most naturally purposeful and structurally capable placements. Earth roots Saturn's demands in the material world; Cardinal modality means the challenges are initiatory ... about what you choose to build and whether you are willing to accept full responsibility for it. Your relationship with effort, authority, and time is among the most developed of any Saturn placement. A concrete tendency is the life organized entirely around productivity: this placement can produce a profound competence alongside an equally profound difficulty experiencing joy, rest, or play as legitimate ... and the architecture of a good life requires rooms built for living, not only for working.

♅

Uranus in CapricornHouse 5 (est.)

℞

Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign, and Uranus here (1988–1996) disrupts through the sudden restructuring of institutions, governments, and the authority systems that have organized society. Earth makes Uranus's disruption structural and concrete; Cardinal modality means the upheaval breaks out at formative, initiating moments in political and social life. Your generation arrived as the Cold War ended and has grown up watching institutional authority hollow out in real time. A concrete tendency is a pragmatic radicalism ... less interested in ideological revolution than in building functional alternatives to systems that have demonstrably stopped working.

♆

Neptune in CapricornHouse 6 (est.)

℞

Capricorn is a Cardinal Earth sign, and Neptune here (1984–1998) dissolves the boundaries around institutional authority, material ambition, and the structures that society has long treated as permanent. Earth makes Neptune's dissolution structural and slow; Cardinal modality means it breaks out at initiating moments ... the very structures that are supposed to begin something new are revealed as more hollow than they appeared. This generation has grown up watching the erosion of public trust in every major institution. The shadow is a confusion about what authority is actually worth serving ... and the gift is a capacity to build structures infused with genuine meaning rather than mere form.

♇

Pluto in ScorpioHouse 4 (est.)

℞

Scorpio is a Fixed Water sign, and Pluto is in its domicile here (1983–1995) ... the planet of transformation in the sign it rules, producing the most intensely powerful and psychologically penetrating generational placement available. Water makes Pluto's transformations total and emotionally irreversible; Fixed modality means what is regenerated in this sign holds. This generation carries a profound attunement to depth, shadow, and the hidden currents of power and sexuality, shaped by AIDS, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and a cultural explosion of psychological and spiritual self-examination. A concrete tendency is an attraction to the abyss ... both the genuine wisdom that lives there and the compulsive quality that can make intensity feel like the only proof of being truly alive.

☊

North Node in PiscesHouse 8 (est.)

℞

Your North Node in Pisces calls you toward compassion, spiritual surrender, and the willingness to release control in favor of a larger flow. Pisces is a Mutable Water sign ... the evolutionary direction here is toward empathy, imagination, and the trust that some things cannot be managed but only met with presence and mercy. The corresponding South Node in Virgo suggests an ingrained ease with analysis, practical service, and the habit of fixing what is broken. A concrete tendency from the South Node is the compulsion to solve and improve what would more wisely be accepted. The medicine is learning that some things cannot be perfected, only held ... and that the capacity to hold something without requiring it to be other than it is may be the most profound form of service available.

⚷

Chiron in GeminiHouse 11 (est.)

Your Chiron in Gemini places your core wound in the realm of communication, being heard, and the trust that your thoughts and perceptions are worth expressing. Gemini is a Mutable Air sign ... the wound lives in the territory of language, exchange, and the circulation of ideas. You may have struggled early with being misunderstood, dismissed for how you expressed yourself, or made to feel that your particular way of thinking was wrong or insufficient. A concrete tendency is over-explanation as preemptive defense ... saying more than necessary in hopes of finally being understood, or saying nothing in anticipation of the familiar dismissal. The gift is a profound sensitivity to language and an extraordinary capacity to help others find and trust their own voice.

↑

With Leo rising, you enter a room and the room notices. There's a natural magnetism and creative confidence that radiates from you. People are drawn to your warmth and generosity of spirit. You carry yourself with a quiet pride that isn't arrogance... it's self-assurance rooted in knowing who you are.

↓

Descendant in Aquarius(est.)

With your Descendant in Aquarius, you're drawn to partners who are independent, unconventional, and intellectually stimulating. You seek relationships that respect individuality... where both people can be themselves without compromise.

Midheaven in Aries(est.)

With your IC in Libra, your roots are shaped by harmony, beauty, and relationship dynamics. Your home life needs balance and aesthetic comfort. You recharge through beautiful surroundings and peaceful relationships.
