Audrey Hepburn Birth Chart

Neptune stands 0°01′ short of the descendant, exactly across the chart from the ascendant. The chart is set for 3:00 a.m. on May 4, 1929, in Ixelles, from a birth record quoted by Luc de Marre, and it puts Neptune at 28°36′ of Leo against an ascendant of 28°37′ Aquarius.

The Sun is at 13°07′ of Taurus and the Moon at 6°27′ of Pisces. Astro-Databank grades the hour AA.

Aquarius is nearly finished rising, and the tradition treats such a late degree as a sign already handing over to Pisces, where the Moon waits. The Taurus Sun in the 2nd house supplies a steady earthy base, and Jupiter, ruler of Pisces in the older scheme, shares Taurus with the Sun.

Audrey Hepburn was an actress and humanitarian, born in Ixelles, Belgium. She trained as a dancer and moved to London in 1948 on a ballet scholarship. Colette chose her for the title role of Gigi on Broadway in 1951. Roman Holiday (1953) won her the Academy Award for best actress, and she won a Tony for the play Ondine. Sabrina (1954), Funny Face (1957), The Nun's Story (1959), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961), Charade (1963) and My Fair Lady (1964) followed, and Wait Until Dark (1967) brought her fifth Oscar nomination. Robin and Marian (1976) was one of few later films, and in 1988 she became a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF. A posthumous Emmy and Grammy made her one of the few winners of all four major awards. She died on January 20, 1993.

A birth record quoted by Luc de Marre

The Astro-Databank note reads: "Luc de Marre quotes B.R. No.477." B.R. is a birth record and the number is its entry, which earns the AA rating.

Astro-Databank lists the clock as Belgian summer time, an hour ahead of Greenwich. No second hour appears in the notes.

Neptune 0°01′ short of the descendant

The descendant lies opposite the ascendant of 28°37′ Aquarius, in the last degrees of Leo. Neptune, retrograde at 28°36′, sits 0°01′ before it, so the ascendant and Neptune are almost exactly opposed. The tradition links the descendant with how partners and the public are met, and Neptune there suggests idealized, softened meetings.

Neptune is just short of the cusp, so Placidus files it under the 6th house and Whole Sign under the 7th. Mercury at 0°19′ of Gemini squares Neptune, 1°43′ off, a pairing that suggests imaginative speech leaning on mood.

Aquarius at its final degrees, Saturn at the first of Capricorn

Aquarius held the Ixelles horizon from 1:53 a.m. until 3:02 a.m. The recorded hour falls 67 minutes in, and Pisces takes over 2 minutes after the birth.

Saturn, the older ruler of Aquarius, is retrograde at 0°03′ of Capricorn, the opening degree of its own sign, in the 10th house by Placidus and the 12th by Whole Sign. It trines Neptune, 1°26′ from exact and the nearest of the major aspects, which suggests structure and imagination supporting each other. Uranus, the modern ruler, stands at 9°21′ of Aries.

Moon in Pisces with Venus and Uranus in Aries

The Moon entered Pisces at 2:51 p.m. on May 3, 12.2 hours before the recorded time, and stands at 6°27′. A Pisces Moon suggests feeling that absorbs its surroundings, and Neptune, the sign's modern ruler, opposes it, 7°51′ from exact.

Placidus gathers the Moon, retrograde Venus at 22°47′ and Uranus at 9°21′ of Aries in the 1st house, the area of first impressions. Whole Sign spreads them out: the Moon in the 2nd, Venus and Uranus in the 3rd.

Sun and Jupiter share Taurus

The Sun at 13°07′ of Taurus and Jupiter at 20°45′ are joined within 7°38′, a wide conjunction. Taurus is the fixed earth sign of the senses and patience, and Jupiter beside the Sun enlarges those themes.

Placidus files both under the 2nd house of values, Whole Sign under the 4th, the house of roots. Jupiter also rules Pisces in the older scheme, so the Sun's companion governs the Moon's sign.

Sagittarius overhead, with five cardinal planets

The midheaven is 16°58′ Sagittarius, held by Sagittarius from 1:49 a.m. to 3:56 a.m. Sagittarius at the top suggests a career of wide range.

Five planets sit in cardinal signs: Venus and Uranus in Aries, Mars and Pluto in Cancer, Saturn in Capricorn. Cardinal signs begin things, so the weighting suggests initiative. Venus squares Mars at 25°09′, 2°22′ from exact, which suggests tension between what attracts and what drives.
