Sometimes, a natal chart reflects so accurately the life of a person that it becomes difficult to imagine that they may have experienced a different one. This is the case for Marion Cotillard. With the Sun in Libra, she is influenced by the Air element and the planet Mercury, and easily identifies herself with the most different characters.
However, her tight Sun-Pluto conjunction warns that there is more to it than meets the eye. No, she is neither flighty nor superficial. On the contrary, all her actions are passion-driven. As a Libra, she first experienced it in her romantic life. Indeed, she does not conceal that her first love committed suicide using quite violent means. Thus, she underwent the throes of exclusive and devouring passion in a quite Plutonian style.
It is in the movies that she displayed lighter aspects. She started her career with the saga "Taxi", even though this choice may seem surprising now. But it was in dramas that she later excelled: "La Vie en Rose", then "Rust and Bones" or other stories in which she has close experience with death, or plays the part of a romantic fiancée who cannot be cheated with a fake death (A Very Long Engagement). They all reflect the personality of this Plutonian Libra in love who, finally, transcribes her dispositions in fiction rather than in real life...
Her consecration, the César Award for Best Actress for "La Vie en Rose", then followed by Oscars, on 22 and 25 February 2008, respectively. There are a few most interesting lessons. At that time, her transits are of course very good. Mars in the House of career (MC), well-supported by Neptune and the North Node, suggests a "karmic" reward for sheer hard work. This confirms that Marion Cotillard spared no effort in order to earn the prize. Then, in a more fleeting way, the Moon transiting the 1st House, while Venus was in exact trine with the natal Sun, on 22 February, shows that she feels comfortable Lastly, Uranus in the 7th House brings about the “surprise” factor of this little Frenchwoman acclaimed by Hollywood, 48 years after Simone Signoret. Who would have bet on her? Frankly, few astrologers, since these transits were not extremely powerful. Nonetheless, it is very reassuring to state that transiting Mars can offer such a harvest!
Regarding her potential, in general, Marion Cotillard has many additional assets at her disposal, and to begin with, her Moon and Neptune dominants. The imprint of these two planets can be seen on her roundish face, and her large dreamy and expressive eyes. They endow her with an instinctive talent made of sensitivity, and even melancholy, with a powerful Moon in her own sign, Cancer, conjunct Saturn. The seriousness and the discipline, which she imposes on herself when she performs are no myth. In addition, Neptune opposed to the Midheaven turns her into a play dough creature, ideal for directors who imagine for her unlimited transformations.

With the characteristics of Libra, Mercury, Air, Moon, and Neptune, against a Pluto backdrop, Marion Cotillard has all the assets required to fascinate the world of fashion. She has a successful career in the luxury trade as the image of Dior for instance. But the actress prefers to take the floor to champion the causes she deems worthy: although the beautiful Mercury-Mars gives her some bluntness – she sometimes committed light blunders – but finally quite a great deal of cleverness. The audience feels that she is a woman of conviction and that she does not cheat on her ecological position. Indeed, she talks the talk, and she walks the walk.
By the end of 2003, then throughout 2014, Marion Cotillard will receive the support of Pluto trining her Ascendant. She will go through deep metamorphosis. She may not be on the front pages as she used to, and may seek quietness, but not because she is less strong. On the contrary. The desire to master her destiny seems very powerful, activated intermittently by the quite aggressive context which involves the Cardinal signs (Aries-Cancer-Libra-Capricorn), even though the planets and the angles of her natal chart are not affected by the Grand Square of the slow-moving planets. In a more distant future, the 2017-2018 period promises to be a "Cotillard fine vintage", since Neptune is on her Descendant (the House of marriage and partnerships), and Jupiter, in Libra! Therefore, we officially make the bet that Marion Cotillard will be the queen of the French, or even international, cinema, for many years to come.
