Sex and the City is back! The sassy HBO comedy about four best friends living - and sleeping around - in the Big Apple, opened as a major motion picture on May 30, 2008. Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda set the screen afire once again, which isn't surprising, since fire signs heat up their astrology charts as well. Let's compare their planets to see why their chemistry and talent made the award-winning series, which ran from 1998-2004, and movie such a phenomenon.

Not surprising, three of the more promiscuous characters are played by fire-sign actors: Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie) and Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) both have Sun in tempestuous Aries, while Kim Cattrall (Samantha) is a willful Leo. Fire signs are naturally independent and adventurous, which is perfect for three of the four women  in Sex and the City. The fourth character, Charlotte, is a good girl (by comparison, anyway) and somewhat naïve about men. She's played by Kristin Davis, who is a Pisces, the sign of imagination, ideals and cluelessness. Interestingly, all four actors have strong Pisces influences in their charts, which certainly heighten the fantasy factor in the show.

Sexy smart: Sarah Jessica Parker
Born on March 25, 1965 in Nelsonville, Ohio, Jessica is impulsive and passionate, but also down-to-earth. Along with her Sun sign, she has Venus (love and artistry) and Mercury (communications) in Aries. She likes plenty of sizzle in her love life, which is probably why she married her Aries husband, actor Matthew Broderick, in 1997 (her previous long-term relationship was with Robert Downey Jr., also an Aries).

However, the headstrong quality of Aries is reined in by Moon in cautious Capricorn. Her Earth sign Moon gives her a strong sensuality and heightens her genuineness onscreen. The Capricorn influence also says she desires a more traditional home life and takes responsibility seriously. Additionally, Parker has Saturn, the planet of career and karma, in Pisces, the perfect placement for a working actor.

Wild child: Cynthia Nixon
Born on April 9, 1966 in New York City, Nixon is a volatile mixture of fire and water. With Sun conjunct Mars in Aries and Moon in Sagittarius, she's an assertive go-getter who's not afraid to take risks. Plus, the Sagittarius influence gives her a restless, freedom-loving spirit. But with Mercury, Venus and Saturn in watery Pisces, she has a sensitive side as well. Mercury conjunct Saturn says she takes her work as an artist very seriously. The biggest challenge in her chart is her afflicted Moon, which rules the breasts. Nixon is a breast cancer survivor. However, these difficult influences also give her the determination to fight the disease. And no one fights like an audacious Aries.

Charismatic cougar: Kim Cattrall
Cattrall was born on August 21, 1956 near Liverpool, England. This 50ish femme fatale has Sun conjunct powerful Pluto in Leo, making her loyal, creative and hard to control, as the men in her life can undoubtedly attest to (she's been married three times). Additionally, Pluto says she needs to escape from the limelight occasionally, which is unusual for attention-loving lionesses. What's more, Venus in Cancer says she has a home-loving side, while Mars in Pisces makes her imaginative, sensitive and at times unwise when it comes to men.

Sex and the City is all about Leo, the diva that rules romance. That makes Cattrall perfect for playing randy Samantha, whose "I'll do anything once" motto makes her especially adventurous between the sheets. But then, being a Leo, Cattrall has the charisma and chutzpah to pull it off.

Naughty but nice: Kristin Davis
This sensitive Pisces was born on February 23, 1965 in Boulder, Colorado, a month before Parker. Her Sun-Mercury-Saturn conjunction in Pisces says she's thoughtful, serious, highly intuitive and imaginative. She's also painfully shy. Her shyness led her to use alcohol, which brought her out of her shell. Yet she decided to stop drinking in her 20s. Substance abuse is a challenge for Pisces because of the need to escape, or to be "someone else" (a desire that's actually appropriate for an actor).

Being a Pisces gives Davis a delicate but powerful allure. It also gives her the ability to get into her character's psyches. She gets her fun-loving, independent side from her Moon in Sagittarius. Her Moon aligns nicely with Nixon's Moon in Sag, which enhances their lively chemistry onscreen. As for love, Davis has Venus in Aquarius, which says she has an unconventional streak when it comes to relationships. She values friendships and is a humanitarian at heart. Currently, she's looking for Mr. Right.

We predict this will not be the last film (or project) for this destined foursome. Our desire to indulge (vicariously) in the escapades of our favorite strong women who live life to the fullest is never ending. Like Pisces says, it's all about the fantasy.
