Maggie Gyllenhaal

Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal will turn 47 on November 16

The older sister of actor Jake, Maggie has starred in Crazy Heart, The Dark Knight and The Kindergarten Teacher. She made her writing and directing debut with The Lost Daughter in 2021. Maggie’s married to actor Peter Sarsgaard and they have two daughters.

Beginning

Her first card is Beginning, symbol of fresh starts, an open, curious mind and the ability to live in the present, instead of always looking back, or forward. This card also carries a strong element of impulsive behaviour and decisions - just seeing a striking stranger walk down the street can be enough for Maggie to start a process of telling their story, in ways that shake, then re-make, her own world.

Wheel of Fortune

Card two is The Wheel of Fortune, showing special significance in journeys of all kinds, especially in a clockwise direction. Spinning discs, Top Ten lists and an extremely hilly country can all be unique luck bringers.

Water Princess

Third card to complete Maggie’s reading is The Water Princess, a card of illusion and imagery. Behind the camera, Maggie could invent a unique new style of capturing people and places on film. And in front of it, playing a part that involves challenging emotional extremes, can be her ticket to a new level of Hollywood success.
