John Cusack; American Actor and Activist

Since John Cusack's time of birth is unknown, I rectified his birth time to around 11:55 PM (CST). The ascendant is
Aquarius(sidereal) and indicates one who is involved in humanitarian causes. In the Western system, it would be
Pisces and of course, they are involved with the Arts. He became famous during his major 19 year Saturn period (1970-1989) when he made his major hit "Better Off Dead". Saturn is the ruler of his Ascendant and is in his 2nd house (speech wealth).
He entered his major 17 year Mercury period in 1989-2006), and now has added writing and political activism to his repertoire.`His blogs on Arianna Huntington's site have received a lot of attention, and his latest movie is "War Inc" which he co-wrote. The planet Mercury is well placed being only a few degrees away from its exalted position in Gemini, however it is in its enemies house. Rahu, which is conjunct with Mars, is throwing the combined effect on Mercury. It is well known that Mars aspecting Mercury a signifies, astrologically, a politician, or political activist. Mercury is in his 6th house (of daily activity) and
thus is strongly effecting his work. His mother was also a political activist. One of the methods I use to rectify the time of birth is the qualities associated with the particular "pada" of the Moon. In John's case the Moon, between 0 degrees and 3 degrees 20 minutes Scorpio is characterized by one who is "eloquent, with noble thoughts, wise and articulate, has good luck and does good deeds". The time of birth also puts the Moon in his 10th house indicating that his career will involve the Public. Rahu is also throwing its 10th aspect on the Ascendant giving him his characteristic height (6'3").
