Marilyn Monroe, Cannes and retrograde Venus

I wrote this article on May 20th, 2012, in Serbian, for my blog. It was translated in English on Janaury 15th, 2017
When we think
about the film, we think first of the sign of Pisces, Neptune, series 12. But,
let’s not forget that the Venus (planet of love, glamour, beauty and
attraction) is exalted in Pisces, and that this special time of its retrograde
motion brings back memories of someone from the world of film… On the other
hand, the whole atmosphere in the time of Venus’ retrograde motion may be in
the sign of movies that tell story of love which contains “secret” an hiding…
Also, the very 29º may be important in this case..
Each year in
May, Cannes is the center of the world regarding film industry. In this 2012,
the gates of the Cannes Film Festival were opened on May 16 at 8 p.m., only a
day after Venus started its retrograde motion (May 15), which certainly makes
this year’s festival special…
Everything is in
the sign of the famous beauty that passed 50 years ago — Marilyn Monroe. The
hostess of the Festival is the lead of the movie “The Artist“ Bérénice Bejo, the
star of the silent film that won several Oscars this year, for the best movie
among others. So, another girl from before (retrograde Venus)!
Now, if we take
a look at the horoscope of the moment of Oscar ceremony opening, we see
Ascendant at 29º (the degree we call the “silent” degree) Leo (France) (see my
article “The Magic of Oscars at 29º“), then we should not be surprised to find
MC (festival’s reputation) in the chart of 65th Cannes Festival
exactly at 29º Leo and to have the French actress whose film won Oscar as the
hostess! In the very 29º Leo we have depiction of Los Angeles (the city of
Neptune and glamour), so in 29º (someone from before, Neptune — angels) we see
somebody from before coming from “the city of angels”, and Marilyn Monroe was
born in Los Angeles!
Further on, the
gala premiere of bitter-sweet comedy “Moonrise Kingdom“ by American director
Wes Anderson opened the Festival. It is romantic drama of two twelve-year-olds (12
– number associated with retrograde motion) who make a secret deal and flee
from home into the desert to enjoy their freedom and love. That is depiction of
retrograde (secret, fleeing away) Venus (love) in Gemini (kids) in 8th
house (danger), at 23º (freedom) of the Festival’s chart! The sheriff starts
after them, and he is involved with the girl’s mother (within retrograde Venus
there is the Sun/Jupiter (sheriff) in Taurus (the sign of Moon’s exaltation,
Moon — mother)), played by the famous Bruce Willis. Since the applicative trine
with the Moon (popularity) in the 5th house (awards) is the first
aspect of retrograde Venus in Gemini, this movie is expected to be popular, and
maybe it will win some award at this year’s Festival…
Nonetheless, the
main star of the Festival is still one and only, unique – Marilyn Monroe!
Festival’s
organizers decided on February 28 to pay respects to Marilyn Monroe this year
by selecting her photograph for the main Festival poster. Photograph is black
and white (retrograde motion — something old, retro) and in it the actress in
the movie “Some Like It Hot“ seductively blows the candle on birthday cake
(Ascendant in the chart of Festival’s opening is at 17º - love, celebration,
Scorpio –“...Hot“). Also, the position of retrograde (secret, unclear) Venus
(girl) in 8th house (death) is depiction of Marilyn Monroe, whose
death is still mysterious today…
It is
interesting that on the day of that decision, February 28, the Venus (girl) was
at 22º - 23º Aries, in a strong conjunction with the star BATEN KAITOS (The
Whale’s Belly), which is presently at 22º Aries 07’, from the constellation of Cetus,
that tells of danger, of possibility to be “swallowed” – either by some mystery
(whale is the creature in the symbolism of Neptune), or due to the overdose of
swollen barbiturates.
But, more
importantly, Marilyn herself had Fortune at 21º Aries 44’, in conjunction with
Venus in her 9th house (abroad, purpose, future incarnation). Fortune
is the personal point of the Moon and it describes the most intimate state of
the soul. The Sun (conscious part), the Moon (field of our feelings) and the
Earth (body, our unconscious) — together create the point of Fortune, and that
very Fortune was “touched” by this act… The Fortune point is the road to the
field of easiness, an alley to the field of happiness and the place where the
soul is light. It is a very personal point, moving the fastest in the
horoscope, representing the personal and intimate characteristics of the
person. As I have already mentioned, in the chart of Marilyn Monroe it is in
her 9th house (the whole world), in sextile with the Moon
(popularity) in 7th house (public), so her road is marked with
getting popular in the whole world. The Moon “contains” the North Node (future)
close to the degree of Jupiter’s exaltation (16º Cancer), as well as the Pluto (fatality)
in Cancer, so her enormous popularity and magnetic attractiveness remained to
live in the future, after her death… The ruler of her Fortune is Mars in Pisces
(sign of Venus’ exaltation) in 8th house (death, sex), and since
there is applicative trine with Saturn in Scorpio in 4th house (things
we are remembered by at the end of life) – characteristics of seductress and
sex symbol are what Marilyn Monroe is remembered long after her death. She
will, certainly, easy and for a long time (Saturn) live and seduce even after
death, and since Saturn contains Moon/Jupiter conjunction in Aquarius
(suddenly) in 7th house (public), this is depiction of great
popularity of this sex symbol of the previous century.
If we take a look
at directions (since everything there moves 1º per year) of Marilyn Monroe, the
first thing that catches the eye is the position of directive Fortune at 13º Cancer
in exact semi-sextile with her Ascendant at 13º Leo, exactly on her Pluto (fatality,
sexuality) and this 2012 is somehow important for her, because we again
remember her as the most fatal and most sex-appealing blond of the previous
century. Also, her directive Fortune has sextile with Mercury at 13º Taurus
from the chart of the Festival, and since Mercury contains retrograde Venus in
8th house, this is indication of her presence at this year’s
festival, of her beauty and her lips (Venus) that, from the festival poster
(Gemini), send us the kiss (Venus in Gemini) from the past (retrograde)…
Further on, her
directive Mercury came to 29º Leo this year, at the very MC of the chart of the
Cannes Festival, and since her natal Mercury contains the Sun (reputation) in
Gemini ruling her Ascendant (herself), this is another indication of the
connection of Marilyn Monroe and 65th Cannes Festival. The whole Cannes is covered
with her photos, wherever one turns — there is this attractive blond on
posters. We must note that her natal Venus (attractiveness, beauty), the ruler
of her 10th house (status, reputation) is at 28º Aries 45’, in
almost exact trine with MC from the chart of Festival at 29º Leo, as well as
with her directive Mercury at 29º Leo that contains her Sun (herself), so this
year brings her reputation back again, and in France (Leo), and her contributes
to the reputation of the 65th Cannes Film Festival.
In the end, if
we take a look at secondary progressions of Marilyn Monroe for the day of
Festival opening, we can see that her secondary axis 1/7 (herself/audience) at 23º
Libra/Aries, in exact trine with retrograde Venus at 23º Gemini from the
Festival’s chart, which strongly implies her powerful connection with this
year’s festival in Cannes! Further on, the cusp of the secondary 9th
house (the world) is in her chart at 23º Gemini, in conjunction with retrograde
Venus from the festival’s chart, so she is revived in this very year through
the world’s manifestation, and in the time of retrograde Venus, of course.
The need of the
soul is to always have the feeling of easiness. The point of Fortune is the
spot of our karmic award that, by its position in the sign, house, its aspect
and situation with its ruler speaks most directly about the state of this
internal easiness we possess, which is out ticket for different states of
consciousness, and for different levels of the fate as well. Cannes Festival is
the place of glamour, and Marilyn is its perfect incarnation…
“This is intimate moment where myth meets reality –
a moving tribute
to the anniversary of her passing, which coincides with the Festival
anniversary. She enchants us with this promising gesture: a seductively blown
kiss.”, was stated by Festival organizers. Even 50 years
after her mysterious death, Marilyn Monroe remains the one of the main figures
in the world of film, she still has secretive attraction, fatality, sex-appeal…
She easily shone again in the whole world… In the time of retrograde Venus, she
reminded us all of her lips (Venus) and sent us a kiss (Venus)…
