What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Serious, capable and ambitious. Builds a life step by step, and gets more playful and lighter with age. She kept redrawing the line between the life she had and the life she imagined.
The Sun quincunx Neptune (almost exact at 0.2°)
What she needed
Moon in Cancer or Leo, the Nest-Maker
Feels everything and needs a safe home and close people. Remembers every kindness. Her feelings liked freedom: she needed space in close ties and gave it back just as easily.
The Moon trine Uranus (close at 2.3°) · For a birth after 11:32 p.m., her Moon was in Leo.
How she loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Loves as a friend first. Values honesty, freedom and a partner who is fully her own person. In love she wanted tenderness and a chase at once, and her relationships were rarely calm.
Venus square Mars (wide at 3.5°)
How she thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Thinks practically and plans ahead. Speaks with authority and a dry sense of humour. Her head and her feelings argued: she knew what she thought before she knew what she felt, or the other way round.
The Moon opposition Mercury (wide at 4.3°)
What drove her
Mars in Taurus, the Stayer
Slow and sure. She did not rush, and she was hard to push off course. Stamina and willpower: she kept going long after others stopped, and she did her best work under pressure.
Mars sextile Pluto (almost exact at 0.9°)
The sky the day she was born
The Moon
Eartha Kitt was born on the day of a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 100% lit. Tonight’s Moon
The day
