May all the guessers come out to figure out his Asc. We know a lot about him compared to the other pics for which we have guessed. We have an idea of his love-life, his personality, and his career. We know the type of character he prefers the world to know, and we can all understand the emotional anxieties of being scrutinized by the media and of growing up in Hollywood etc. etc...

Biography of Jake GYLLENHAAL

Jacob Benjamin "Jake" Gyllenhaal (born December 19, 1980) is an Academy Award-nominated and BAFTA Award-winning American actor. The son of director Stephen Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Foner, Gyllenhaal began acting at age eleven, and his short career has seen performances in diverse roles. He has received an Academy Award nomination and won a British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award.

Gyllenhaal's first major film appearance was in 2001's cult hit Donnie Darko, in which he played a teenager troubled by psychological problems. In the 2004 blockbuster The Day After Tomorrow, he portrayed a student caught in a cataclysmic global cooling event alongside Dennis Quaid. He then played against type as a confused and frustrated Marine in Jarhead (2005) and, that same year, won critical acclaim as a "gay cowboy" in the controversial but highly lauded film, Brokeback Mountain.

Gyllenhaal has taken an activist role in supporting various political and social causes. He appeared in Rock the Vote advertising, campaigned for the Democratic party in the 2004 election, and has promoted environmental causes and the American Civil Liberties Union.

Personal life

Family
Members of the Gyllenhaal family have worked together on many Hollywood projects. His sister Maggie played his on-screen sister in Donnie Darko, and appeared with him in A Dangerous Woman, a film which their father, Stephen Gyllenhaal, directed. Maggie is engaged to actor Peter Sarsgaard, Gyllenhaal's co-star in Jarhead. Gyllenhaal's niece, Ramona Sarsgaard, was born on October 3, 2006. Both Gyllenhaal and his sister admit to sibling rivalry in their younger years, but often share problems and advice nowadays. In December, 2006, they escaped a fire that destroyed Manka's, a famed lodge and restaurant in Inverness, California, at which they were vacationing. Jamie Lee Curtis is Gyllenhaal's godmother, and he has repeatedly referred to his godfathers being a gay couple. Gyllenhaal himself is the godfather of Matilda Rose Ledger (born October 28, 2005), the daughter of actors Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams, both of whom co-starred with him in Brokeback Mountain. Additionally, his uncle, Anders Gyllenhaal, is the executive editor of The Miami Herald.

Relationships
Gyllenhaal dated Rilo Kiley singer Jenny Lewis in 2001, but his most notable relationship has been with actress Kirsten Dunst. The couple, who met through Gyllenhaal's sister Maggie (Dunst's Mona Lisa Smile co-star), began dating in September 2002, and were reported to have officially broken up in July 2004; however, the relationship remained off and on until December 2005.

With Dunst, Gyllenhaal shares a German Shepherd named Atticus, whom they rescued from a Los Angeles dog shelter. Gyllenhaal also owns a Puggle named Boo Radley. Both dogs are named after characters from the Harper Lee novel To Kill a Mockingbird, one of Gyllenhaal's favorite novels.

Internationally viewed as a sex symbol, Gyllenhaal was named one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People" in 2006. He was also listed in People's "Hottest Bachelors of 2006".

Politics and other interests
Gyllenhaal is politically active; he shot a commercial for Rock the Vote, and during the 2004 U.S. Election, he visited the University of Southern California with his sister to encourage students to vote. He also campaigned for Democratic candidate John Kerry. He has stated, however, that "it frustrates me when actors talk politics; I’m political and I make choices in my movies that I think are political. I try and say things with what I do. Rightly or wrongly, young actors have all the power."

Raised in a family concerned with social issues, Gyllenhaal has campaigned on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), an organization which his entire family strongly supports. Environmentally conscious, he recycles regularly, and said in an interview that he spends $400 a year on having trees planted in a Mozambique forest, partly to promote the Future Forests program. After filming The Day After Tomorrow, he flew to the Arctic to promote awareness of climate change.

In his spare time, Gyllenhaal enjoys woodworking, and cooking. He has stated " not a card-carrying Buddhist, but I do try to practice mindfulness" and he makes it his goal to meditate every day..

Maybe we could even use transits to "rectify" his chart according to what was going on in his life that the public knew of. I am sure that the fire incident was a Uranus/Mars vibe- but how do we incorporate that into the chart?

--This could give him Scorpio on his 3rd. His sister is a Scorpio.
--He'd have Pisces on the Dsc. He's supposedly been friends with Adam Levine (Maroon 5) since they were kids, and is friends with his sister's SO, actor Peter Sarsgaard. They're both Pisces.
--He's friends with Lance Armstrong, who is a a Virgo.
--He could have Taurus in the end of his 8th house. His longest relationship was with Kirsten Dunst, a first decan Taurus.
--He could have Aries in 7th/8th, and he's involved now (I think) with Reese Witherspoon, an Aries.

Even so, he looks more like a Pisces Asc to me than Virgo. So I'm going to guess either Virgo or Pisces.

He strikes me as an 11th Sun too, so a Pisces ASC could work.

What about other factors? Are there other factors to consider?
Like Creative parents - what placement could that give? Neptune in 4th?
Parents with established reputation in Hollywood making him "Hollywood Royalty" so to speak. A 10th house Sun or Leo 10th house?
His primary years and the school he went to.
What placement could result in sibling rivalry?
He seems conscious of his body so maybe an Asc Mc aspect between Virgo and either Scorpio or Cancer?
I can't figure this out! Pisces Rising... Okay and does everything seem to fit in the chart? Or does it fit better were he a Scorpio Rising? Or... is it Cancer?
