Vocation Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jeane Mortenson) born 01 June 1926 ; died 05 August 1962 = age 36 (compare: Princess Diana UK) Actor, Model Singer, Dancer speculated bi-polar disorder Ketu in bhava-7 = Rahu in bhava-1 Ambivalence (Ketu) toward partners, contracts, mutual interest with Others Desire to be recognized (Rahu) as a Great Personality Dhanishtha Chandra certain items such as the lord of the 10th navamsha remain problematic . According to the extraordinary, iconic, long-term, super-high-visibility of her image in the film and publications industry, 10th navamsha should be Mithuna.

data from www.astrodatabank.com = 0930 a.m. on 01 June 1926 Los Angeles birth time in question. The nativity above represents BT = 0730.

Prominent features of the Nativity

• Rahu in bhava-1 = social attribute package = extraordinary, uncoiling of passionate energies

• Karakamsha = Mithuna, bhava-1 for musculature and physical body appearance. Rahu receives the expansive drishti of Guru from 9 = an international symbol of boundary-disruption and excitement.

• Punarvasu Nakshatra in lagna

• Birth time appears estimated, and is probably closer to 0745 hrs, placing navamsha lagna "swamsha" in Mithuna with atmakaraka Shani in D-9 lagna.

• Dhanishtha Chandra "hearing the drumbeat" [Sravishtha] = typically a alented drummer and dancer.

  bhava-5 = theatre contains uchcha Shani while accepting drishti of both Rahu in lagna and Guru from bhava-8. the native suffered increasingly severe stage-fright. Once she got over it, cajoled from her on-set trailer, escorted by some friendly fellow actor, her performances were gifted.

  Also Ms. Monroe was famous for perfectionism (Shani) in her dance routines (5) which led her to engage in many, many hours of drill practice - much more than customary Rahu in lagna = An unusual personality, emanating excitement, adventure, and the thrill of risk. In Mithuna, a split personality - homey and modest in some contexts, intelligent even intellectual in other settings, a sexual siren in other moments. Rahu and Guru in mutual drishti generate a highly mentalized, highly sexualized (Mithuna) personality who serves as an icon of desire.

  L-4 Budha in 12; Surya in 12. Ms. Monroe never knew her father (Surya-12) and her mother had mental health issues (L-4 Budha in 12) which resulted in her childhood home (4) being dissolved (12) numerous times to the point where she was sent for her own protection (4) to live in an orphanage (dormitories, 12) Uchcha Shani L-8+L-9 in bhava-5, receiving drishti of Guru and Rahu: =

  • disciplined attention to performance skill perfection,

  • relentless theatrical-skills practicing,

  • upon the disciplined, lawful performance base, Guru and Rahu optimistically expand opportunity and risk

  • Agents of government or large organizations enter the romantic relationships.

  L-9 in 5 = good fortune in theatre, politics, expressions of personal genius. L-8 in 5 = reduces the prospects for children (she had none). The entertainment career becomes a venue for sudden and catastrophic changes. One's disciplined and respected performance standards are nonetheless subject to suddenly changing rules; romance also is oppressed by social protocol.

• Chandra's lord uchcha Shani in 10th-from-Chandra = Iconic status from career in drama and dance.

• Ketu in Yuvati Bhava+ Ketu's lord Guru yuti L-6 Mangala =notorious marriage problems due to unsuitable personality of spouses in addition to her active social life.

• Surya = a general indicator for the role of males in the life of a female.

• Surya specifically indicated the father first, but Surya becomes a karaka for the husband (s) in adult life, and eventually Ravi's energy will manifest via her grown sons. L-3 Surya loses most of His radiance in 12, and the female native's most natural environment for interacting with men is in the sanctuary spaces of imagination, foreign lands, and the bedroom.

  • Additional disruption of relationship to the father and trouble with male moral figures in general (including husbands, teachers, and directors) from Mangala/9 (highly unfortunate for father) and Guru/9 = karako bhavo nashto.

• Her own public image , another karaka feature of Ravi, is much distorted due to Surya's diffusion in 12. Another indicator of public image, Arudha lagna, becomes Mesha-11, containing the fleshly, muscular, sexual-pursuit and conquest Shukra in Mesha.

• Chandra in 8 is classically a difficult position because the great ocean of emotion which comprises "Mind" becomes subject to constant and occasionally catastrophic change. the native is put through apparently endless cycles of identity destruction and rebirth. L-2 in 8 dramatically shortens the longevity. Monroe died in Chandra bhukti.

• Chandra's lord L-8 Shani = so powerful that conditions of the native 's death (8) have fascinated the American public for nearly 50 years.

• here is an emotional need for secrecy and an attraction to the dangerous, the hidden, and the unknown.

• Behari says that Makara Chandra in randhra bhava intensifies the psychological problems associated with a sudden rise from obscurity to glory:

  "There may be some psychological problems presenting material temptations. You will be intensely interested in the mystical side of life, but interest will be primarily guided by the desire to acquire personal glory. You will succeed in attaining goals, perhaps so suddenly that you will be surprised. ...."
