Analysis of Sophie Marceau's astrological chart

Daily news regularly puts the spotlight on all sorts of famous people. Although we are not fond of juicy information, we inevitably have an idea about a given political figure, a movie star, a Royal Highness, or a skilled sportsman.

Those well-known faces draw our interest and seem familiar to us, because we watch their successes or their setbacks day by day.

Astrology may also be considered as an interesting filter to better define their personality, and to guess whether the events they experience are confirmed by their planets' activities. Astrology does not reveal everything, of course, but using the dominants and other peculiarities of the natal chart, we can see whether the astrological portrait matches the collective image or offers unsuspected additional nuances.

After Kristen Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow, here is an article about the impulsive and talented Sophie Marceau.

Beyond her obvious beauty, French actress Sophie Marceau exudes something quite earthy, or even dark, but in any case, prickly. Therefore, it is not surprising that she is marked by her solar sign, Scorpio, but also by the sign of her Ascendant, Virgo.

Interestingly enough, she shares this Scorpio-Virgo characteristic with Julia Roberts, another star who strives to keep the sense of reality despite her status. But let us say that the American actress is more solar, and that the comparison ends here.

As for the Marceau brat, all her actions prove that she cannot be easily fooled. Probably because she was born in a very modest family, at a time when there was no reality TV, and she could certainly not imagine breaking into the cinema. And even less achieving a career which turns her into the favourite comedian of the French public, also very much appreciated beyond the frontiers of France.

Even after her dazzling first steps, Sophie Marceau was never tempted by sirens, even those of Hollywood, and preferred to fall into Andrzej Zulawski's hands. 24 years her senior, the Polish director who gives her a starring role in "L'Amour Braque", a suitable title for this Scorpio, drags her into a passionate story.

Incidentally, let us recall that specialists in mundane astrology associate communism with the Saturn-Neptune cycle. Now, the French actress has the Sun in Scorpio, with a conjunction linking to Neptune on the one hand, and to Mercury and Venus, on the other hand, all these planets being in soft aspect with Saturn on the Ascendant.

To those who may not understand the reasons which urged her to marry Zulawski, astrology gives the following explanation: it is most likely that Sophie Marceau felt mesmerised by this tormented artist, so brilliant to her, who did not pursue her education. He opens the door to an unknown world - Slav, intellectual, atypical – still in vogue in those days. Values that she accepts as an entire part of her marriage: "I lived for several years in a two-room flat in a communist town, without drinkable water", she told the media recently. A choice some people may consider masochistic, a quirk in which Scorpios may be prone to, since it gives them the impression that they love more intensely, or that they deeply despise unnecessary glamour. Although the relationship lasted and she had a son with this filmmaker, Sophie Marceau is probably too peculiar, after all, to live under control for the rest of her life.

Out of her own free will, afterwards, she naturally got back to activities more influenced by Virgo, where are posited two slow-moving planets, and Mars exactly on the Ascendant: some degree of modesty, the capacity to keep a cool head, the envy to eat organic food and to use her manual skills, to take action while improving herself. If they complement each other to form a very logical personality, these elements do not prevent Sophie Marceau from having an unpredictable and curt character not too easy to deal with.

In this regard, Uranus' opposition, exactly on the Ascendant, conjunct Mars and Pluto still in the 12th House, facing Saturn on the Descendant, is glaring. Since Uranus is her dominant, she systematically chooses a different path, getting an almost perverse pleasure out of irritating people. This planetary pattern brought about a few memorable blunders. Everyone remembers that she was jeered at in Cannes, when she started a speech about the harsh reality of handicapped children, when the "Palme d'Or" was awarded. Sincere, probably, but clumsy, as her chart suggests. Because Saturn does not have an insignificant role, and prompts her to prefer seriousness and austerity at the risk of saddening or bogging down her relations with people. Therefore, we have every reason to wonder how the actress could keep a high popularity rating with dominants of such bad repute and in tough aspects.

Fortunately, gorgeous Sophie has many gifts from heaven. Aside from this strong opposition on the relationship axis, all astrologers are amazed to count the other harmonious aspects linking her planets mainly posited in the Northern hemisphere. From this point of view, although Sophie Marceau is a great lover, a responsible mother, she is also fond of secrecy and solitude. This is how she feels fine, not in the limelight...

We note again a redundancy with her Moon in Capricorn, who endows her with the sense of duty and the taste for long-term endeavours. She is self-disciplined, and whatever she gets, she owes to her own merits only, because she never chooses the easy way out, as mentioned already. Another positive point for her, good luck is also in her chart: the Sun is well-supported, and a discreet Jupiter sends a nice aspect to Venus (though with an 8° orb).

Biography of Sophie Marceau (excerpt)
Sophie Danièle Sylvie Maupu (French pronunciation: ​; born 17 November 1966 (birth time source: Didier Geslain)) is a French actress, director, screenwriter, and author. She has appeared in 39 films. As a teenager, Marceau achieved popularity with her debut films La Boum (1980) and La Boum 2 (1982), receiving a César Award for Most Promising Actress. She became a film star in Europe...

For the future, astrology confirms that this star will keep her place in the cinema for a long time, since her theme displays many indications of longevity. In 2013, she probably benefitted from the Water grand trine which superimposed on her planets in Scorpio as well as on her Saturn in Pisces. This is undoubtedly what enabled her to pass with flying colours the test of Saturn transiting the sensitive spots of her chart. She repeated again that she is not scared to get old, and that she enjoys it!

However, Jupiter will be in harsh aspect, towards the end of 2014, with the planets in the second part of Scorpio: excess is on the agenda, something that she will not be able to control, momentarily. But as of the summer of 2015, Jupiter transiting her Ascendant will put her again in the spotlight. She ought to bear in mind that 2020 heralds many achievements, owing to the triple conjunction Jupiter-Pluto-Saturn in good aspect with her Scorpio planets and her Virgo Ascendant. Moreover, her progressed Sun will then transit the natal Moon, which is also an excellent omen.
