What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Virgo, the Fixer
Notices what is out of place and knows how to make it better. Shows love by being useful, and has a dry, quick humour that surprises people. Nothing about her was halfway: she insisted on running her own life, and the struggle made her formidable.
The Sun square Pluto (close at 2.1°)
What she needed
Moon in Taurus, the Hearth
Even-tempered and hard to unsettle. Needs calm, touch and things that stay the same. What comforted her and what she loved were different things, so her heart and her moods kept negotiating.
The Moon square Venus (wide at 3.3°)
How she loved
Venus in Leo, the Romantic
Loves with warmth, pride and a generous heart. Wants romance, admiration and loyalty in return. Charm and desire worked together: she knew what she wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (close at 2.8°)
How she thought
Mercury in Virgo, the Analyst
Clever, methodical and useful. Turns a muddle into a list and the list into results. Big ideas and loose details: she thought on a large scale, and the small print was where things got away from her.
Mercury square Jupiter (close at 1.1°)
What drove her
Mars in Sagittarius, the Champion
Goes after big goals with enthusiasm and a strong sense of right. A fierce will: she met opposition head on, and a fight brought out her full strength.
Mars opposition Pluto (wide at 6.0°)
The shape of her chart
Pluto is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her intensity touched everything else in it. The weight of her chart sits in earth signs: the practical and the solid.
The sky the day she was born
The Moon
Greta Garbo was born five days after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 81% lit, in Taurus. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Monday, five days before the September equinox.
