Vanessa Benavente: Sagittarius Sun, Leo Moon, Aries Rising

Vanessa Benavente currently plays none other than Mary, the mother of Jesus herself, on Netflix’s The Chosen. Vanessa describes the years that led up to this role as “the typical overnight success that takes 15 years.” Working on the show has been more than a career highlight, it’s expanded her views on spirituality. Isa Nakazawa sits down with Vanessa to talk about how her Sagittarius sun has allowed her the flexibility to take bold risks, while her Aries moon propels her to action and passion.
