Analysis of Audrey Tautou's astrological chart

A Down-to-earth Virgo, Anchored in Reality

Definitively entering the pantheon of French cinema with Amelie (The Fabulous Destiny of Amélie Poulain) in 2001, Audrey Tautou's career and success have since become international.

Rarely has an actress so well matched her contrasting astrological portrait. Indeed, a native of Leo, she is especially marked by Virgo, a very different character typology. She has the Ascendant in this sign and the ruler of the theme, Mercury, not to mention angular Mars and Venus. In her case, Virgo has a weight of about two-thirds, which is considerable. That's why we're going to start by talking about some of her "most Virgo" aspects, before moving on to her solar sign.

Audrey Tautou was born in an Auvergnat family, with parents who embraced health professions. To say the least, the link with her future career was thin. In fact, in middle school, the young girl thought she would dedicate herself to primates, then she passed a scientific baccalaureate. These first indications describe a hard-working, modest personality, very far from the entertainment world.

However, she also owes her first name to a tribute to Audrey Hepburn, which may have prompted her to go to Paris to follow the Florent course. Her beginnings there are rapid and conclusive. She lands a first important role in a comedy, Venus Beauty Institute by Tonie Marshall in 1999, which reveals her to the profession and the public.

But it's shortly thereafter, by lending her mischievous features to Amélie Poulain, that her talents are revealed and her career takes off. This heroine, a waitress working in a Parisian café, who overcomes her reserve to get involved in the lives of her neighbors and loved ones, resembles her like two drops of water. Thus, she gives a particular dimension to the most ordinary people, which is typical of Virgo. By small services, staying in the shadows, she strives to improve their daily lives...

The success, in any case, rewards her merit. If the rest of her career will allow her to show more of her Leo sides, she will know how to keep a certain simplicity and a cool head, which is very Virgo. Today, more than ever, Audrey Tautou does not seem to be specifically seeking to attract the spotlight to herself.

The Strength of Leo for a Creative Personality

In her case, we are therefore dealing with an internalized Leo native. She is doubly so, by the broad conjunction of Saturn to her Sun, and by a close opposition to her natal Moon.

This configuration gives her two luminaries a Saturnian hue, accentuating demand, morality, seriousness, and restraint.

This, of course, complements the Virgo elements we just discussed. However, Leo also gives her a great creative force. She has a sense of play and knows how to exploit it as evidenced by a very varied career.

She thus alternates typically French comedies of manners, such as L'Auberge espagnole and Russian Dolls, by Cédric Klapisch, or ambitious super-productions like A Very Long Engagement by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and, above all, The Da Vinci Code by Ron Howard.

This last film, based on Dan Brown's best-seller, opens the doors of the American market to her. By the end of the 2000s, she shines everywhere, allowing her to finally let her more ambitious Leo nature roar.

Neptune as a Relay of the Sun's Energy

In her birth chart, Neptune in Sagittarius and in the 3rd house forms beautiful aspects with her Sun and Moon. The planet favorably relays this relationship and softens the Saturnian influence.

Furthermore, it's important to keep in mind that Neptune often appears valued in the astrological charts of inspired artists. This is particularly true when it is in a suitable sector, in her case, the third. This Neptune gives her a convincing expressiveness, mixed with strong emotions.

The actress naturally attracts sympathy, and the audience identifies with her.

The Aquarius Moon and Its Altruistic and Fraternal Benefits

Let's go back to her Moon in Aquarius, which describes a free soul, primarily wanting to choose what she likes, according to her personal intimate convictions, and not to maintain any particular image, let alone indulge in the ease of success.

This is probably what drove her to diversify her roles and to remain loyal to the directors who gave her a chance and with whom she has been able to get along.

In her chart, complementing a strong 11th house (where the Sun is located), this Aquarius Moon therefore underlines the importance of friendship and alliances of all kinds, even if the square of Uranus may have sometimes abruptly and unexpectedly interrupted certain projects or even budding loves (the Moon being in the 5th house).
