Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas: What’s Their Secret?

In Hollywood, marriages that last aren’t all that common -- and astrologically, a relationship among two Leos isn’t all that easy to make work, either. However, it’s been 14 years, and Melanie and Antonio are still going strong. Today, Melanie turns 53 and tomorrow Antonio turns 50, so what is their secret to longevity?

Since both have such similar charts, hosting many of their planets in Leo and Virgo, it strikes a nice balance of sharing the spotlight and responsibilities, as they’re both simpatico, with their main focus being family. Plus, in their composite chart (when two charts are joined to make one, which represents one’s relationship), their aspects create a relationship based on friendship and a feeling of destiny, due to their composite Pisces Moon. This allows them to have a marriage based on companionship, which eases up on making it that typically Leo “24-7 intensity” kind of relationship that burns out.
