Analysis of Brigitte Bardot's astrological chart

Few actresses can be considered to be living legends. Whether she wanted it or not, Brigitte Bardot, who celebrated her 80th birthday on 28 September 2014, is definitely one of them. Much more than her roles, it is above all her incredibly great presence and her impact on crowds which will remain in History.

Born with the Sun in Libra, she is the archetype of Venusian qualities, from a certain viewpoint. She grows up in the Parisian bourgeoisie, learns classical dance, but does not think of the cinema. Other people will take the decision for her, as it often happens with Libras. Her beauty opens the doors of the weekly Elle, and love, in the guise of Roger Vadim, takes her into the cinema world. What comes next is the thunderclap caused by And God created woman. Sensual and cheerful, Brigitte Bardot lights up the screen and becomes a sex symbol.

In her natal chart, the Air element, represented by her Sun, is also tinged with a Gemini note, mischievous and fresh. The natal Moon is important in this sign; she is right on the Descendant, and imbues the public image with the Sun's energy. Bardot comes across as the Lolita who arouses excitement almost inadvertently, because just testing her power of seduction, without meaning anything further, is enough to satisfy her. The developments of her career are built along those lines. In the '50s and '60s, she earns global fame and has the world at her feet.

However, her chart indicates that the public was wrong to liken her to a mere frivolous creature. A prominent planet occupies a key-place in the chart: Mercury is tightly linked to Jupiter in Libra – thus confirming the overall importance of this sign – but also squares (harsh aspect) Pluto, and opposes Uranus. Therefore, the actress is Mercurian in terms of light-heartedness and the need to communicate, but she is also Jupiterian, since this planet rules her Ascendant in Sagittarius. These influences alone are enough to endow her with a chivalrous, generous, and boundless mind. Since Pluto and Uranus are involved, rebellion is simmering. Thus, it is not surprising that, on the one hand, her life was punctuated by scandals, more or less intentionally, and on the other hand, the astrologer is not astonished that Bardot felt angst-ridden (Pluto) to the extent that she tried several times to endanger her life.

Moreover, there is a quite disturbing stellium in the 8th House: Mars, the Black Moon, and Pluto. Of course, we do not think that this configuration is dangerous, because, as a Jupiterian, Brigitte Bardot enjoys strong protections. But these violent planets in the 8th House bring about impulses which are hard to control. Actually, she acknowledges, with her characteristic frankness, that she tried to commit suicide many times, when she felt in a deadlock, or that her life was meaningless. As she confessed in her autobiography, at the age of 39, she had to quit the cinema forever, so as to make a fresh start.

Incidentally, let's underline that she gave her book an astrological title, The square to Pluto. And if we look at the transits of her 1974 birthday, we see that this harsh aspect was exactly on her Sun, also in tense aspect with transiting Saturn and the transiting North Node. They affected her planets in cardinal signs and prompted her to take the initiative instead of being under their control.

Although her choice was probably difficult, she became a hard-core Animal Rights activist. Does this show in her planets? Her Ascendant in Sagittarius had to express itself, some day. It adds a need for personal decision which does not pertain to Libra. Idealism and taste for freedom are typical of the 9th sign. Furthermore, it must be caused by Venus in Virgo, conjunct Neptune. The planet of love in the 6th sign relates more to small animals and domestic matters than to great romantic passions. With Neptune, Venus brings a dash of idealism, here again, to her approach. Certainly, the struggle of her second life offered some degree of balance. (Sagittarius is a double-bodied sign and strengthens the probability of experiencing more than one life.)

Although some people still bemoan her radical stances or her rigid leanings, one ought to bear in mind that they are triggered both by the Grand Cross ruling her dominants and her crowded 8th House. What is certain is that she seems serene and still very active at 80.

On her birthday, she enjoys the splendid Grand Trine forming in Fire signs in late September 2014. Jupiter is starting to conjunct natal Mars, while transiting Mars is nearing the 1st House.

As for Uranus, he brings the "Chef's surprise" : it is possible that the spotlight directed on her again, although she lives withdrawn in La Madrague, her stronghold at Saint-Tropez, results in unexpected opportunities which she may find fulfilling. The Houses activated are connected with her personality, her inheritances, and her roots. Therefore, the most wonderful gift would be that the effects of her deep serenity are increased, so as to enable her to alleviate even more significantly the animal condition, a cause so dear to her heart.
