What her chart says about her
Who she was
Sun in Capricorn, the Architect
Responsible from an early age. Takes the climb seriously and has a dry humour that comes out once the work is done. 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 3.4°)
What she needed
Moon in Leo or Cancer, the Warm Heart
Wears her heart where people can see it. Needs warmth, praise and a little attention, and gives all three back.
For a birth before 9:18 a.m., her Moon was in Cancer.
How she loved
Venus in Aquarius, the Kindred Spirit
Unconventional in love. Drawn to the original and the independent, and needs room inside closeness. She loved the unusual: original taste, unexpected friendships and a style all her own.
Venus sextile Uranus (close at 1.9°)
How she thought
Mercury in Capricorn, the Planner
Practical, measured and dryly funny. Trusts experience over theory and gets to the point. Facts and dreams blurred together in her mind: wonderful for stories, harder when details mattered.
Mercury opposition Neptune (close at 1.7°)
What drove her
Mars in Capricorn, the Achiever
Disciplined and steady. Plans the route, does the work and gets there in the end. Enthusiasm at full speed: she charged at life with confidence, and setbacks slowed her only briefly.
Mars conjunction Jupiter (wide at 5.3°)
The shape of her chart
In her chart, her identity, her mind, her drive, her optimism and her discipline (the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn) gather in Capricorn, and that part of life drew her attention first. No water at all, so feelings came out in actions more than in words.
The sky the day she was born
The Moon
Marlene Dietrich was born two days after a full Moon. At noon that day the Moon was 95% lit. Tonight’s Moon
The day
