A Hollywood Star in Exile, Venus in Aries
Bold, insecure, bold anyway
Venus is in exile in Aries.
When the goddess of love, beauty and the arts is in exile, we could expect manifestations that are not very feminine.
Will she be the one wearing the trousers? A butch woman, a dominatrix, as a child a tomboy? These interpretations may be relevant in some cases, but…
How about Marilyn Monroe?
Her Venus in Aries is conjunct with her Venus-ruled Taurus MC, for everyone to see.
Of course, there is much more to read in Marilyn’s chart.
Still, if Venus in Aries means something, we need to understand ‘exile’ differently.
Her femininity, beauty and love life were not exactly a desert island story.
When I organise classes, sometimes I show charts of famous people to participants and we play at ‘What kind of person could this be?’
With Marilyn’s chart and just a little bit of guidance, it’s possible to guess quickly that it’s her.
