Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson, and part of her genius was that she was always two persons in one: the shy, watchful girl and the luminous star she willed into being. That is the Gemini Sun at work, the marriage of Helios and Mercury, vitality shining through the sign of between. She understood both sides of every room, played comedy with a feather-light wit, and reinvented herself endlessly, a jack of many trades who mastered the one that mattered.
With a Leo Ascendant she wore the mask of a queen. When she entered a room, people simply turned; the signature platinum hair, the magnetic, photogenic presence, the courage to hold the torch for everyone behind her. Her Sun sits at the very top of the chart, the Sun at noon on its throne, and so her life was public whether she wished it or not: a decade as Hollywood's most marketable star, films that grossed two hundred million dollars, roles in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Seven Year Itch and Some Like It Hot.
Yet her Aquarius Moon, fused with the collective, sat in the house of others. She could read any partner's mind, needed love to feel whole, and stayed forever the tender, alien soul beneath the icon.
