Marilyn Monroe’s astrology chart shows all of the secrets she wanted to hide from the public eye. Let’s respect her private life but taking a quick look at her chart is such a great way to learn astrology.
Career indicator
How come a Venus in Aries woman could become world-famous for her look? In Marilyn Monroe’s birth chart, Venus rules the 10th house- reputation, career, vocation. And Venus is located in Aries, the sign of pioneers, raw sexual energy, being a leader of sorts. Her Venus is close to the MC- 10th house cusp- the highest, most visible point of the natal chart.
This is how she could become a sex symbol in the 20th century.
Note to yourself: even a weak 10th-house ruler can indicate career success.
Neptune on the Ascendant
Marilyn as a Leo (rules kings and queens) Ascendant (personality, the path in life) appeared as a Queen who likes to be in the spotlight and enjoys being at the center of attention. BUT, the planet Neptune was sitting on her Ascendant, which made this beautiful lady’s life a total mess.
On one hand, Neptune’s influence made people project their
Another indicator of becoming a symbol
How could she become the world’s most enduring sex symbol? As Neptune is the ruling planet of Pisces (her 8th house began in Pisces), it “carried the agenda” of the 8th house to the Ascendant. One of the 8th house domains is sexuality since it’s a Scorpio analogy. Again, the planet, which rules sexuality in her horoscope, had a very strong influence on her Ascendant, on her personality, path in life. Also, Mars in the 8th house gave her magnetic sexual energy too.
In addition, she had Jupiter and Moon in the 7th house. Both planets are in the 7th house are indication of fame, especially when they are sitting together in the 7th house. Jupiter makes the native popular, and the Moon gives a familiar face to the native in the 7th house, that people recognize.
Saturn in the 4th house in Scorpio
Marilyn Monroe had Saturn in her 4th house in the sign of Scorpio. To my mind, this is one if not the most difficult planetary position one can have. Saturn in Scorpio is an indication of deep emotional wounds, that the person cannot overcome or it takes a very long time. Saturn is Socrui freezes the emotions, freezes the hurt, the pain, the trauma as Scoprio is a fixed water sign- fixity means it stays the same for a very long time.
Also, this very difficult Saturn in Scorpio was in her 4th house, in the house of emotions and family, home environment. This shows deep wounding, deep pain, and traumas from early childhood, but it can repeat later in life too. With this very difficult planetary placement, it is almost inevitable that the native has self-destructive and self-harming behavior. Only deep therapy and long therapy could help, and such healing feels like a rebirth.
Her mystical death
The 8th house is also in charge of death. In the sign of Pisces, that rules drugs, medicines, and mysticism as well. She is believed the cause of her death was a drug overdose. Again, where Pisces falls in the horoscope, no one sees clearly the life area of the native. Pisces is all about confusion or lack of clarity. Mars, the “aggressive planet” aka the planet of war in her 8th house (house of death) might have caused her violent death… Or a sudden death, it might happened quickly.
Conclusion
This brief reading of Marilyn Monroe’s astrology chart is barely the tip of the iceberg… I just wanted to show that planets manifest literally. Though the ultimate goal of Astrology is to rise above the influence of our horoscope.
What could have been the remedies or the better manifestation of her weak Neptune? Spirituality could have helped a lot, prayer, water therapy, or expressing emotions through any kind of artistic endeavor and to develop a solid emotional foundation.

Hello,
As someone whose Venus is also at 29 Aries (in the 8th house), I think the main characteristic od this degree is sexual assertiveness, even “aggresivity” – which may not be visible at first sight AT ALL (but certainly is behind closed doors). I know I would never EVER openly pursue a man – unless he expressed a very visible interest in me (it’s not about conservativity – of which I have NONE; it’s about enjoying the traditional social game of being pursued by the man) – but in terms of sexual assertiveness in private I know no boundaries.
Now, Marilyn Monroe definitely was sexually assertive in her private life. If you read her biographies carefully, it is clear that she had no qualms about going after the men she wanted (even some who clearly didn’t want her).
I hope you have an article about anaretic degrees (haven’t explored your very interesting website yet). I have TWO – plus a progressed MC at Leo 29.
