What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Gemini, the Messenger
Quick, curious and good company. Collects facts, friends and stories, and can talk to anyone about almost anything. Her mind and her identity were close together: she spoke as she thought, and her ideas were part of who she was.
The Sun conjunction Mercury (wide at 3.5°)
What she needed
Moon in Aquarius, the Cool Head
Feels at a little distance and thinks feelings through. Needs friends, freedom and room to be different. Feelings came second to duty: she held herself to a high standard, even in private.
The Moon square Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°)
How she loved
Venus in Aries, the Chaser
Loves boldly and makes the first move. Wants excitement, honesty and a partner with spirit. Affection came to her with generosity attached: her heart and her optimism helped each other.
Venus sextile Jupiter (close at 2.0°)
How she thought
Mercury in Gemini, the Quick Wit
A restless, clever mind. Loves words, news and the fun of a good exchange.
What drove her
Mars in Pisces, the Gentle Warrior
Gentle on the surface and quietly strong. Works best for a cause worth believing in. Her drive and her discipline worked together easily: she could push hard and keep going.
Mars trine Saturn (almost exact at 0.6°)
The shape of her chart
Saturn is the hub of her chart: it takes part in five of its aspects, more than any other body, so her discipline touched everything else in it. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one she had to find.
The sky the day she was born
The Moon
Marilyn Monroe was born five days after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 67% lit, in Aquarius. Tonight’s Moon
The day
It was a Tuesday, twenty days before the June solstice.
