Sarah Bernhardt’s birth chart

What her chart says about her

1. Who she was

   ☉Sun in Scorpio or Libra, the Detective

   Intense, private and loyal. Wants the real story, not the polite one, and gives all or nothing. Funnier than people expect, and kinder in private than in public. Self-belief came slowly and had to be earned, one result at a time, and every result counted.

   The Sun square Saturn (almost exact at 0.8°) · For a birth before 7:20 a.m., her Sun was in Libra.

2. What she needed

   ☽Moon in Pisces or Aries, the Tide

   Sensitive to everything and quick to sympathise. Finds rest in art, water, dreams and kind company. Quick feelings and a quick temper: she reacted first, and her courage came from the same place as her flashes of anger.

   The Moon opposition Mars (wide at 3.8°) · For a birth after 1:18 p.m., her Moon was in Aries.

3. How she loved

   ♀Venus in Virgo, the Quiet Romantic

   Loves quietly and attentively. Shows care through thoughtful help and remembering the small things.

4. How she thought

   ☿Mercury in Libra, the Mediator

   A fair, sociable mind. Thinks best in conversation and dislikes a cruel word. She thought in pictures and music: her words carried a mood, and her imagination gave her ideas colour.

   Mercury trine Neptune (wide at 5.3°)

5. What drove her

   ♂Mars in Libra, the Negotiator

   Gets things done through people, charm and fairness. Prefers teamwork to a fight, and fights hardest for others. Restless and quick to rebel: she pushed against limits, and sudden decisions came with the territory.

   Mars opposition Uranus (almost exact at 0.2°)

6. The shape of her chart
