He is someone who is self-motivated and unafraid. He can look younger than his age. He may come across to others as being arrogant or trying to get his own way. He also has the Sun in his first house with Mars. This gives him a powerful sense of who he is but may at times be overwhelming to him. He has the ability to take command of his life.

Life gets better through life experiences. He could be prone to taking on too much responsibility. He will take creative and unique approaches to business and his career. He is self-sufficient.

Let’s take a look at some events in his life to see what transits triggered them.
John married Chrissy Teigen on September 14, 2013. At this time transiting Jupiter was in his seventh house of relationships expanding the energy for marriage. Transiting Saturn was in Libra conjunct his natal Venus. Transiting Rahu was also in Libra conjunct his natal Venus expanding the love. Transiting Jupiter was sending its energy to his natal Venus which rules his seventh house from Chandra (Moon) as the ascendant. Transiting Rahu was sending its energy to his seventh house and he was in Sun Maha Dasha and Rahu Bhukti.
John won his first Grammy in 2006. At this time Rahu was opposite his tenth house of career. Sending all that expansive energy to his career. Transiting Jupiter was in his eleventh house of great gains conjunct Venus the ruler of his eleventh house. At this time, he was in his Venus Dasha. This empowered this energy even more.
He won an Oscar on February 22, 2015. At this time transiting Rahu was in Virgo his tenth house of career. This seems to be a key trigger for John. He won a Primetime Emmy on September 17, 2018. At this time transiting Jupiter and transiting Venus were lighting up his eleventh house of great gains and activating his natal Venus. He won a Tony award on June 11, 2017.
