Analysis of Audrey Hepburn's astrological chart

Jupiter and the Sun for the Social Status

Although some people may be surprised to learn it, the delicate Audrey Hepburn, the mythical My Fair Lady, was born under the sign of Taurus, a strong and bon viveur sign. There is even a beautiful conjunction between the Sun and Jupiter, the latter being conjunct the North Node.

If we must start here before looking at the various features of the chart full of nuances, it is because this aspect usually gives a propensity for celebrity. Indeed, Jupiter, ruler of the Midheaven, supports the Sun and his desire for grandeur.

The fact that Jupiter is conjunct the Head of the Dragon indicates that such a person must enlighten other people spiritually. This is why, perhaps, beyond her death, the British actress keeps on shining in the heart of many admirers. In the proper and the literal senses, she was a beautiful person, to use an expression of these recent years.

At her birth in Ixelles, in Belgium, the little Audrey seemed to have it all. Her parents belong to the nobility (barons), which matches the first hints of her portrait, and ensures that her upbringing was both rigorous and thorough. Unfortunately, her parents did not get along with each other and ended up divorcing.

Moreover, when she was merely an adolescent, she underwent the sufferings of war. She had to flee the bombings with her mother, and she suffered from food deprivation.

A Nice Saturn Ensures That Projects Are Long-lasting

We understand that what occurred at this moment of her life does not fit with the Jupiterian Sun in Taurus any more. It is because Hepburn has the Ascendant in Aquarius, a more ethereal sign but above all, the chart includes a potent Saturn culminating in the 10th House.

In this case, this planet proves extremely beneficial, because it is involved in a wonderful Grand Trine in Fire, linking two planets associated with the arts, namely Venus in Aries, posited in the late degrees of the 1st House, as well as Neptune, on the cusp of the Descendant. Here again, there are obvious assets indicating her potential power to draw crowds, with gentleness but during a long time.

Besides, these planets play their role without restraint. Venus illustrates the fiery tomboy-like and always biting charm of the characters Hepburn played.

Neptune strengthens her talent – she can sing and dance, and excels at musicals – as well as the romanticism of her compositions. This planet is often believed to be the higher octave of Venus, in other words, it is connected to what pertains to feelings in the broad sense of the term, i.e. power to capture beings, empathy, and receptivity among other qualities.

Lastly, because he is well disposed, Saturn in the 10th House guarantees a solid support for Hepburn's career.

Jupiter and the Help of Powerful Allies.

Her career starts at full speed. Getting back to Hepburn's rich biography, after having taken dancing courses, she tried her luck at the cinema, because she was too tall to become a prima ballerina.

With the help of Jupiter, after a few minor roles, she obtained that of a princess who plays hooky with Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday. The solar splendor of her presence on the screen established the myth. It is the Italy in its happy days, carefree and thriving, the capital of the Dolce Vita that she crisscrosses in the backseat of the Vespa of an attractive reporter.

The whole world was under her spell, and she immediately earned an Oscar although was not yet 25.

Later on, she managed to build her career smartly, focusing on the most highly-rated directors, and she met Hubert de Givenchy on a set. She became his muse, and he became her friend. This encounter must be attributable to Jupiter conjunct the Sun in Taurus. Givenchy created for Hepburn the famous little black dress (among other clothes, each more wonderful than the other) and a perfume, L'Interdit.

Throughout the following years, the actress accumulated movies appreciated by all cinephiles with the most famous partners: Fred Astaire, Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, etc.

She personified forever the eccentric Holly Golightly of Breakfast at Tiffany's. Then she showed that she was also able to play a modest girl who swears like a trooper, and who is propelled into the high society in My Fair Lady. She prefigured Julia Roberts, who picked up some of her codes in Pretty Woman.

Moon-neptune Opposition and Compassion

As we analyze her relationships, we must say a few words about the opposition between the Moon in Pisces and Neptune in the last degrees of Leo, conjunct the Descendant.

Both planets have a highly compatible nature; Hepburn probably felt that her celebrity was a necessity to give all of herself. First, and under people's initiative, in artistic projects. Afterwards, driven by her personal desire, she quite quickly engaged in humanitarian actions. Long before it became fashionable, Hepburn got involved with UNICEF, traveled to Africa, and supported development programs.

Sensitive and generous, she disregarded her quite fragile physical health for the sake of what was dear to her heart, and she experienced confuse feelings sometimes.

In the romantic area, Miss Hepburn has been more or less fortunate. Twice married and divorced, she experienced and underwent extramarital affairs. Neptune may have brought about some degree of confusion in this regard, because he also squares Mercury.

Impulsive Venus in Aries square Mars encouraged love at first sight as well as splits. It was with a third partner that she lived the end of her life, far from cinema sets, in Tolochenaz, her Swiss home.

To sum up, Hepburn's chart explains very well her incredible popularity and the special place she enjoys in the Hall of Fame. She matched the clichés of neither the fifties, nor the big Hollywood machine.

Nevertheless, owing to her talent (Neptune and Venus, ruler of her Sun), and to her wisdom (Saturn), she achieved a journey that many people would envy. But she was so tremendously kind and respectful that nobody could grudge her success.
