An Astro-Tribute to Film Icon of the Silver Screen Sophia Loren!

by Jude Cowell

When we look at the natal horoscope of Italy's legendary star of the silver screen, Sophia Loren, what do we see? (RR: AA for accuracy).

First, Miss Loren's personality blend of Sun Virgo-Moon Aquarius informs us along with input from Venus and Neptune in Virgo, sign of the virgin and the goddess. Add a Venus-Neptune conjunction's lovely, dreamy energies in Virgo, and it's no surprise that her beauty and talent would be idolized by the public as Italy's greatest actress, and idolized worldwide as well. Why, her North Node of destiny and public contact conjuncts sexy asteroid-archetype Sappho so being recognized by the public for her alluring appearance was "on her life path."

Then as we see, above (with a few of my notes penned on), having Saturn-ruled Capricorn rising reveals her childhood subsistence in war-torn Italy in poverty and adversity along with a Mars-South-Node conjunction that times a period of war and violence via Allied bombing to fight againstHerr Adolf's machinations that disrupted her domestic scene (see IC conjunct Uranus, planet of shocking attacks). Rising Capricorn, sign of the earthly father, is significant on a personal level since Loren's father abandoned the family early on, leaving her mother with no source of income. Yet as she matured her Moon-Saturn conjunction provided endurance, common sense, and self-restraint - but also a measure of selfishness.

However, beneficial trines from her Mercury and Jupiter lift the more negative potentials from her Moon-Saturn conjunction, especially as the actress became successful and found genuine love with film producer Carlo Ponti. And actually, her Moon leads a Locomotive shape of planets indicating a very strong determination toward career success and financial achievement (in 2nd house of Earning Ability and Posessions).

A Childhood of Hardship Is a Fierce Motivating Factor

Then another signal of difficulty in her life is the Solar Eclipse Saros Series into which she was born, the 8 South ("PE") with its theme of loss and separation. And as the Cosmos would have it, an 8 South eclipse repeats on October 2, 2024 @10Libra, sign of balance, relationships, love and beauty. My very best wishes for Sophia Loren as 2024 becomes 2025.

As for the legendary icon's Earth-Air Sun Virgo-Moon Aquarius personality blend, it identifies a tendency to focus on the facts along with a detached attitude. Also noticeable may be a quiet dignity, idealistic social concerns, and a strong sense of individuality and independence. Domestically supportive of her loved ones, Miss Loren values the order that organizes society into a well-functioning entity. And as a child of war, this would be a prominent feature of her personality.

A kind-hearted philosopher, Miss Loren is devoted to family and friends, and shares her natal Sun Virgo-Moon Aquarius blend with planned parenthood pioneer Margaret Sanger who informs us that,

"No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body."

And I suspect that Sophia Loren would agree with such a sentiment, as most women do.
