Russell Crowe's Bad Temper
On June 6, 2005, Russell Crowe allegedly threw a telephone at a New York hotel employee because he could not place a call to his wife in Australia. Curiously, a New Moon in Gemini occurred on this date; Gemini rules telephones.
Crowe's natal Mars in Aries is exactly quincunx Uranus in Virgo. A quincunx is a 150 degree angle. Signs that are quincunx each other have very little in common: neither element (Earth, Fire, Air, Water) nor mode (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable). Aries is Cardinal Fire; Virgo is Mutable Earth. Additionally, these signs do not even share yang/active (Fire, Air) or yin/passive (Earth, Water) energies. They are totally incompatible elements. This is a waning (or closing) quincunx. This type of aspect has the feel of Scorpio to it, because Scorpio is 150 degrees approaching Aries, the starting point of the zodiac.
As such, it is very difficult to combine the archetypes of Mars and Uranus in a way to make them work together. A quincunx is known for the need to adjust. Mars in its own sign, Aries, is extremely impulsive, spontaneous, competitive. Uranus is explosive, unpredictable, restless, rebellious. Put these two together in a Scorpionic aspect (vengeful, violent, rageful) and you've got a tendency to explode and get into fights.
Uranus also makes aspects to several other natal planets in Crowe's chart: exactly trine Mercury, square Venus, trine Jupiter, opposite Saturn, conjunct Pluto. Depending on the time of birth, it may even be quincunx the Moon. Only the Sun and Neptune are spared!
What we've got here is a very Uranian person: brilliant, unpredictable, rebellious. A man who will do his own thing.
Crowe also has Sun in Aries exactly quincunx Neptune in Scorpio. As this is a waxing quincunx, it has more of a Virgo feel to it. I'd wager that this aspect relates to his ability to channel his powerful imagination and sensitivity (Sun-Neptune) into his craft (Virgo). This Sun-Neptune aspect also corresponds with his violent incidents involving alcohol, as alcohol is ruled by Neptune.
