* Michael C. Hall is best known for his role as the serial-killer Dexter Morgan in the Showtime TV series Dexter. Hall has won a Golden Globe award and a Screen Actors Guild Award for this role. Previously, he played David Fisher, a young man struggling with his homosexuality while following in the footsteps of his deceased mortician-father, in the HBO drama series Six Feet Under.
Hall's Aquarian Sun and Ascendant are ruled by Uranus in the 8th: the house of death, murder, mortuaries, serial-killers and sexuality issues. Pluto also resides in this house in the last degree of analytical Virgo and in quincunx with the Ascendant. Moreover, Pluto and Neptune make a Yod with the Moon. Luna is at the apex of the Yod in bloody Aries on the cusp of the Jekyll-and-Hyde 3rd house: Dexter is a blood-spatter analyst by day, and a serial killer vigilante by night. Note also Mars on the MC ruling the Moon, and Mars and Neptune conjunct their ruler Jupiter (final dispositor of the chart) on the MC. Jupiter thus particularly exaggerates Mars and Neptune, hence all the blood and gore and all the deception about Dexter's true character (which gives the show its kick).
Hall's ex-wife, Jennifer Carpenter, plays Dexter's adoptive sister, Debra Morgan, in the TV series. Carpenter's Sun-Neptune conjuncts Hall's MC-Venus. Hall's 8th-house Uranus conjuncts Carpenter's Ascendant. And Carpenter, who plays a rookie-cum-senior-detective on Dexter, has Pluto rising in her chart (see her chart here).

* Robin Roberts – anchor of the TV show Good Morning America – has communicator Mercury on her MC. Just over a week ago she came out on her Facebook profile, by mentioning her "long time girlfriend, Amber," on the day that the transiting Moon crossed her natal Sun, and transiting Venus retrograded on her natal Ascendant. Last Monday, as transiting Venus exactly conjunct her Pallas-Ascendant, Roberts shared the first public photo of Amber. Roberts has been treated for breast cancer and for myelodysplastic syndrome. She has Pluto – the survivor planet – on her North Node, sextile Mercury, ruler of her 6th House of health issues.
