Actor Chuck Norris during a near-60-year acting career became ‘a pop culture emblem of alpha-male indestructibility.’ His films – Forced Vengeance, Hellbound, An Eye for an Eye, A Force of One, Silent Rage, were what they said they were. After the movies he moved into television in the 1990s with Walker, Texas Ranger. He has died aged 86.
He was born 10 March 1940 3am Ryan, Oklahoma, with a WW11 veteran father who took to drink. His older brother was killed in Vietnam. Chuck served with the US Air Force in South Korea, and then competed in international martial arts tournaments, running a chain of karate schools in California. Bruce Lee invited him to take part in The Way of the Dragon, the highest-grossing Hong Kong film in history, which established Norris on the film scene.
A Sun Pisces opposition Neptune would suit him for movies but it was his explosive Mars Uranus conjunction in Taurus, sextile his Sun and trine Neptune which gave him his specialism of violent action. And the destructive Fixed star Algol in his performing 5th house.
His intense 7th house Pluto was square Saturn in forced-to-be-self-reliant Aries conjunct Venus in Taurus – not an easy temperament emotionally – bleak and hard. His Sun/Moon midpoint was opposition his Neptune so he would find commitment an effort. His Chiron was in his 7th house of close relationships and his Aries Moon was trine Pluto. Quite a mix of troubled, possessive and inconstant.
He was an outspoken Christian and Republican.
