Analysis of Glenn Close's astrological chart

Many people consider that Glenn Close is one of the best actresses of her time. Although she is adopting a lower profile at 70, she impressed a generation of cinephiles with her excellent tragic performances. She garnered honours and prizes. Indeed, she earned several Golden Globes and many Oscar nominations for Best Actress. Oddly, she has not yet won the famous statuette, which seems a quite staggering lacuna, given her talent.

She was born in a good family in Connecticut. Her chart includes numerous features suggesting artistic inclination. The blend of Pisces and Leo, signs of the Sun and the Ascendant respectively, highlights such possibilities. While Pisces and Leo are different in many ways, their common point remains aesthetic sensibility.

The Mars-Mercury duet is posited in Pisces, a sign which could be defined in a few words: the power of sensationalism. Mars, planet of action, and Mercury, planet of intellectual matters, join hands in the 7th House, that of partnership and other people, to indicate a merger between both modes. All this occurs against a Pisces backdrop, which endows Close with the receptivity of a sponge. A perfect quality for an actress, no? Actually, it was on the stage of Broadway that young Glenn Close started to get noticed. She had to wait until she was 28 before she appeared on TV for the first time, in The Rules of Games.

This is the positive side of Pisces. However, there is another one, much less pleasant, that Close had to undergo when still a child. On her father's initiative, she found herself in Switzerland, enlisted in a sect her parents had joined. There is scarce information on this sensitive topic, except that she finally forgave her father and did not conceal that she has been traumatized by this period. From an astrological viewpoint, this constitutes one of the marks of the Mars-Mercury conjunction in Pisces receiving a square, though wide, from Uranus in Gemini (sign of mental confusion, especially because two mutable signs are involved). However, instead of wallowing in morbid negativity, Close managed to seize the opportunity to live something different through the personages she embodied, as we have seen.

This is all the more so that Leo – unlike the Sun sign, introverted and reluctant to open up – prompts Close to express herself in the most individualistic way. Her need to shine and to sublimate her condition is real and stems from a genuine innate pride. Incidentally, one observes that, physically, Close takes after both signs. Aloof deportment, majestic gait, and strange, fascinating eyes.

This leads us to Pluto, the planet dominating the chart. Pluto conjunct the Ascendant brings about passion in all its splendour, and colours Close's personality with two qualities, profundity and perseverance, as well as the desire to control and overcome her demons.

Analysing these first features helps us understand better why Close succeeded with manipulative and narcissistic women roles. In Fatal Attraction, she wrought havoc on Michael Douglas' quiet family life, and worked wonders. At first nice because emancipated, she was a bachelor who progressively showed the way she functioned, on the verge of madness. In a different genre and a different century, the Marchioness de Merteuil, whom she perfectly embodied, pulled the strings of love games in the 18th century to the extent she lost everything for her Liaisons Dangereuses.

She permanently stamped the cinema with her style and the character of a perverse woman. Afterwards, she found many opportunities to demonstrate this type of talent, even in comedies, by parodying a wicked Cruella in 101 Dalmatians. This informal tone, which enables her to personify the most odious personages, comes partially from Pluto and the Sun posited in the 8th House - a House which echoes the same Scorpio's principles – as well as from the Moon-Venus conjunction in Aquarius, which refers to her femininity. Regarding her appearance, her value system and her emotions, Close is fundamentally free and proves to be a true amazon. A zesty detail, in her private life, she behaves as eccentrically as her characters. For instance, she got married four times.

The actress is currently single again and can focus on her projects, including a new part as a zombie in the series Sea Oak, for which she has high expectations. She has not been on TV since the end in 2012 of Damages, a programme which earned her a Golden Globe and various awards.
