✧ her childhood & inherited qualities ✧
SATURN IN SCORPIO IN THE 4H ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ almost anyone who fairly knows about marilyn knows that her childhood was full of trauma and hardships. it has been said that her mother used to suffer from paranoid schizophrenia, so she had to be in and out of foster care. marilyn claimed that because of this, she was unable to form a close relationship with her mother and therefore probably didn’t know much about her, which is emphasized in this placement as well in her moon in aquarius in the 7th squared to her saturn. it is possible that due to her cold and hard childhood, it must’ve been hard for her to form intimate and vulnerable relationships with people. she could have been more of the detached type, perhaps even private. with saturn squared to her ascendant, she appeared rather serious, brooding, and even intimidating. it was hard for her to open up and feel comfortable enough to be able to express herself truly, especially when meeting others and presenting first impressions, especially when it came to her emotions. with leo being in her ascendant and ascendant ruler being in the 10th house, you can tell that she could express herself well in the public eye. however, it might have been hard for her to express her authentic self to other people face-to-face, which could have made it harder for her to form genuine connections.
MOON IN AQUARIUS IN THE 7H OPPOSITION NEPTUNE ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ this emphasizes how marilyn had to deal with an inconsistent mother with mental health issues; this could have made her someone who was extremely sensitive to certain environments and other people’s feelings and energies, which could have made her someone who was easy to take advantage of and manipulate. although she might have appeared like someone who didn’t have feelings with her moon in aquarius opposition the ascendant, she felt very deeply, she just didn’t know how to express it or have anyone to express it to. on the positive side, she was gentle, compassionate, kind, and empathetic. she felt for others and could have been a huge humanitarian. she must have been extremely humble and receptive in regards to others as well. she must’ve had a strong sense of the underlying energies around her, in other words, extremely intuitive.
MOON CONJUNCT JUPITER IN AQUARIUS IN THE 7H ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ although her childhood didn’t seem like the best, it could have been a good opportunity for her to build on her organized connections and business associations, which could have benefited her on her road to fame and success. she was a woman with a ‘heart of gold’—she had lots of love to give and most definitely had a bubbly, humorous, generous, and jovial personality. you could tell from looking at brief moments of some of her movies, she had a large character which added to her charm. i’d like to say that this could’ve have gave her the curvaceous body shape she used to have, and it gives her luck and an easy-flowing expression in her sense of femininity. this aspect can point to an overall decent and unapologetic body image, which makes sense considering that she made hourglasses and shapely figures more admirable and popular for her time (the 50’s)
VENUS IN ARIES CONJUNCT CHIRON IN TAURUS IN THE 9H ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ marilyn has expressed that as a kid, she had insecurities. years after her death, people have looked at her diary entries and letters and it seemed as though she frequently felt “inadequate”, “insecure” and even suicidal. even at times, marilyn would have a fluctuating opinion on her sex symbol image in hollywood; she would at times feel boastful about it, on the other end, she would feel rather angry and uncertain. she was someone who had a sense of the harsher side of beauty, pleasure, and aesthetics. therefore, this could indicate her feeling the need to reinvent herself from an early age to become who she is known as today. she was also a potential healer as she could have underwent some wounding relationships, and again, sensitive and intuitive when it came to other people. nevertheless, she unfortunately had to deal with the feeling of not feeling good or perfect enough. she might have searched for worth elsewhere—whether that be from relationships, from her beauty, but with her venus in aries in the 9th house, perhaps from even her intelligence, insights, and philosophies (since most people did not bother to look past her physical and sexual attractiveness) or she just struggled to feel worthwhile in anyway. her venus in the 9th house conjunct to her chiron can even point to a smartness insecurity, she was not formally educated (she dropped out of school) and was very sensitive about it. she might have felt the need to prove to others that she was capable of many things and was a socially and intellectually aware person (which i’m sure she was)
4TH HOUSE RULER, PLUTO, IN CANCER IN THE 11H ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ in marilyn’s childhood, her community or friends might have abruptly changed often. she could have been someone that intended to find trust and security through friendships, but might’ve failed to do so because of the constant transformations and upheavals, making her feel unstable or unsafe. this placement alone could indicate being untrustworthy of certain groups of people and deciding to be to yourself because of your environment not offering the protection you want and need.
✧ her career, allure and fame ✧
LEO ASCENDANT AT THE 13°, ASCENDANT RULER IN GEMINI IN THE 10TH ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ this is a fame and popularity indicator in in itself, and marilyn has tons of placements and aspects that gives her that “it girl”, star power, and charisma that she is known for today. marilyn might have been someone who was extremely hardworking. her vitality, efforts, and prestige’s went heavily into her career endeavors and public image. therefore, she literally loved her life in the public eye. she might have been seen as a confident and starstrucking woman in her run in the industry. she could have easily drawn eyes to her with her bright appearance as well as with her youthfulness and wittiness. it’s much more emphasized considering that she even has a leo rising, which doesn’t just give you star qualities in the public eye but also in real life. it just came natural to her. it shows in this placement. this can also be supported by her neptune in leo in the 1st house conjunct the ascendant.
NEPTUNE IN LEO AT THE 22° IN THE 1H CONJUNCT ASCENDANT ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ it is utterly surprising knowing that a normal girl that goes by the name of ‘norma jean’ would eventually become the hollywood superstar we know today as ‘marilyn monroe’. i believe anyone would look back at marilyn’s backstory and be in awe of how drastic of a change she underwent in her identity on her road to fame; and this aspect shows that. marilyn had the ability to manifest herself to anyone she wanted to be, and she did that. marilyn monroe talked about how she felt like an ordinary person alongside of the street one day and no one paid attention to her as though she wasn’t anyone special, but then when she wanted to be noticed, she would just ✨ become ✨ marilyn, then everyone would eventually stop their cars or turn their heads. she was powerful, and it flipped like a switch for her. this is all because she had the ability to manifest into whatever reality she desired. this placement could even point to why she is perceived to be such an amazing manifestor and is a huge figure in the loa community. this placement can even show how tons of women idolize her and desire to follow after her confidence and essence. she’s considered one of the most iconic women to date. she is also known as the perfect face for hollywood: “america’s blonde bombshell”. evens. few people have said that marilyn on the first impression appeared to be a shy, quiet, and unnoticeable girl, but when she is on stage and a camera is on, she’s a completely different person!
VENUS IN ARIES CONJUNCT MC ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ there is no doubt that marilyn monroe is a well-known and legendary actress from the 50’s that everyone adored and loved. she was extremely attractive and alluring, with the aries influence, was very erotic to the opposite gender. this aspect also truly shows that marilyn was known for her tantalizing beauty and attractiveness. and this could also show how others only perceived her as that, which was severely detrimental for her sense of self-worth—giving her a superficial reputation. she had a spunky and charismatic energy that made her someone who was perceived as amusing and wild. this resembles her legacy for being known for her glamour, fashion/styles, and being the ultimate hollywood dreamgirl.
BLACK MOON LILITH IN LEO IN THE 1H AT THE 29° ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ marilyn monroe is considered as one of the biggest sex symbols of all time; she was the "it girl" of hollywood. with the 29° and leo influence, it emphasizes that this is what she is known for after her death, it is her legacy, this is what made her a prominent celebrity.
SUN CONJUNCT MERCURY IN GEMINI IN THE 10H ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ this was quite an underrated quality about her, but she was an astoundingly intelligent woman that most likely thirsted for knowledge. there was apparently an auction that sought to sell marilyn’s collection of 400 books! and it was likely that she had an extremely high IQ. this aspect could even point to how versatile she was when it came to her career ventures (she was an actress, model, singer, and even made her own production company)
CHIRON IN TAURUS IN THE 9H AT THE 0° CONJUNCT MC ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ despite marilyn being know for her extravagant image, almost everyone is highly aware of the struggles she had been through in her childhood, relationships, and career life. from being take advantage of to being abused to not being taken seriously. marilyn had suffered a few miscarriage and failed marriages; it was obvious that all she wanted a family and to be truly loved for who she was. she’s the epitome of someone who seemed to have it all, but have gone through the most.
ASTEROID MARILYN (1486) IN THE 11TH CONJUNCT SUN IN THE 10TH IN GEMINI ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ i’d like to believe that this aspect can point to marilyn highly associated herself with her hollywood, career persona much often because it is what she was used to. she might have preferred to be identified that way in her community and friendgroups. her public identity could’ve also been what made her distinct and identifiable to people. this is definitely the case since her marilyn is sextiled to her ascendant as well.
ASTEROID MUNROE (4942) IN THE 8H IN PISCES AT THE 0° CONJUNCT URANUS AT THE 29°⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚ since the 8th house rules inheritances and ‘passing things on’, people might not remember marilyn as norma jean mortenson, there will be people who will confuse her stage name for her real name as this is considerable her legacy. this is how i would interpret this aspect.
