Quick facts
Full name Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio. Birthplace Los Angeles, California, USA. Sign Scorpio. Element water. Rulers Mars (traditional) and Pluto (modern). Modality fixed. Lucky colours burgundy, black and maroon. Lucky numbers 9, 18 and 27. Birthstones topaz and obsidian. Traditional matches Cancer, Pisces, Virgo and Capricorn.
Early life
DiCaprio grew up in Echo Park and Los Feliz after his parents separated. Scorpio stories often begin with an early split and a child who learns to watch power closely. He later refused to turn his private life into a product — the same instinct.
Career timeline
1993: This Boy’s Life and an Oscar nomination for What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. 1997: Titanic makes him a US and UK event-film name. 2002 to 2013: the Scorsese run (Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed, Shutter Island, The Wolf of Wall Street). 2016: The Revenant and the Best Actor Oscar. 2019 to 2023: Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Killers of the Flower Moon. The pattern is plutonian: fewer interviews, more control, difficult men rather than repeat heart-throb roles.
Scorpio traits on the public record
Obsession with preparation. Privacy as a rule. Loyalty to a small circle, especially Scorsese. Reinvention after Titanic. Moral intensity in climate advocacy. Strengths: stamina, strategy, refusal of shallow parts. Challenges: all-or-nothing attachments, control dressed up as standards, burnout.
Love life and compatibility
Tabloid culture in the US and UK turned his dating life into a punchline. Astrology cannot excuse choices. It can only note that Scorpio Suns often seek intensity and unpublished relationships. Cancer and Pisces share water; Virgo and Capricorn hold the weather; Taurus is the opposite sign; Leo wants the stage Scorpio hides.
