Analysis of Charlotte Rampling's astrological chart

Even those who are not familiar with astrology or with Charlotte Rampling's private life consider sometimes that she is a quite special comedian.

Different, elusive, and above all, without taboos. This matches quite well the definition of an Aquarius woman! Actually, she is the archetype of this sign, which in her natal chart shelters a strong conjunction involving Mercury, the Sun, and Venus, all the more emphasised that it is in the 1st House. Moreover, the Ascendant cusp is also in Aquarius. We might as well say that this mighty conjunction carries off almost everything, and that other planetary influences had better watch out.

In addition, all these major factors given by her time of birth describe the portrait of an uncompromising and unclassifiable personality.

The daughter of a colonel and great sportsman as well as of a paintress, Charlotte Rampling was immersed in an international atmosphere since childhood. Which is not surprising because her Midheaven – destiny, career – is in Sagittarius. It is logical that it was a foreign director, the Italian master Luchino Visconti, who gave her her first opportunity.

This leads us to another key which enables us to understand her chart: Pluto on the Descendant, opposed to those forces in Aquarius. Without this aspect, the actress would have been endowed with absolute other-worldliness.

In her case, it is not offensive to label her a sometimes dodgy comedian... The film which made her famous, The Damned, is based on the values of the God of the Underworld: rise of Nazism, perversion of a family going through an end-of-reign time. Then the actress made a splash in 1973 with her role in The Night Porter, which explores sadomasochistic relationships. Today, Charlotte Rampling probably smiles when she sees the enthusiasm stirred by the kind film Fifty Shades of Grey... With its unhealthy aestheticism, Liliana Cavani's film goes much beyond the adaptation of E. L. James' novel...

The astrological explanation we keep in mind is Aquarius' unremitting will to stand up for its freedom, and to fight any conformism, using here the lever of a mighty Pluto.

This angular planet is typical of Rampling's enigmatic way to deal with people, despite the extremely sweet first impression she gives. Besides, she has always opted for a certain ambiguity, in her professional partnerships as well as in the area of marriage.

It seems that she lived in a ménage à trois with her first husband, whereas her relationship with Jean-Michel Jarre also bore the seal of mystery. However, it was logical that she fell for the author-composer of Oxygène, owing to her natal chart's grand trine in Air signs. The summer they met, in 1976, he enthralled her and simultaneously conquered the audience with his electronic notes, well ahead of his time, demonstrating a pioneer talent much appreciated by a sheer Aquarius. In hindsight, we would tend to think that this marriage has an unarguable note of modernity.

Thereafter, although Charlotte Rampling's career had ups and downs, it still was fruitful, with numerous movies and TV films of all kinds. Quality was a constant concern: The Purple Taxi, Max, My Love in 1985, in which she falls in love with a chimpanzee, and Under the Sand are still on the programme of many film libraries.

She keeps on imposing herself in unusual roles. After having underlined the influence of Aquarius, it is necessary to mention the importance of Uranus, its ruling planet. It is angular in the 4th House – family roots. It is part of the grand trine in Air signs, and it rules the chart, in other words, it controls nearly everything in her life. Exploiting her multiple possibilities, Charlotte Rampling flowed through all eras and overcame obstacles with some sort of detachment or perhaps with genuine serenity.

In 2016, the actress is in line for the best actress Oscar for her role in 45 years. This nomination ought to be considered a very nice gift at the moment when she just celebrated her 70th birthday.
