Marie Curie – November 7th, 1867. Warsaw, Poland
Birth time is noted as 12 noon, and looking at her chart for this time, it fits. 10th house stellium (prominent career) and Uranus on 7th house cusp (marriage to an intellectual, possibly genius), her husband was also a pioneer in his field of radioactivity.
Capricorn ascendant, chart ruler Saturn in 10th house of career, conjunct Venus and Mars. These three planets plus Sun (9th house) in Scorpio, the sign of intensity. Marie Curie was noted for working 16+ hour days in her lab until she was places in a sanatorium due to radium poisoning, shortly before her death at age 66. Jupiter square Saturn, workaholic with great potential for success.
Venus conjunct Saturn, misfortune and delay in love, she did not marry until age 28 (late for that era) and her husband was killed in an accident 11 years after marriage. She had an affair years later and was publicly humiliated and slandered in the press even though she was a widow. Her 10th house Saturn placement adds to her reputation suffering.
Sun in 9th house, higher education, travels far from home (born in Poland and lived in France). Educational honors, won two Nobel Prizes (shared one with her husband). She is the only person in history to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences. Mercury in Sagittarius, life-long student. First house Jupiter, also with emphasis on education. Mercury square Jupiter adds to love of education etc. Pluto in 3rd house, obsession with knowledge and research.
10th house: Venus here indicates pleasant working environment, she and her husband worked side-by-side in harmony until his death. Mars here, intense ambition, obsession with work (working all day long, despite having 2 children). Saturn placement, hard work and perseverance. Mercury in 10th, her father also was intellectual, teaching physics and mathematics.
Venus conjunct Saturn in Scorpio, Moon in Pisces, and Neptune in 2nd house, all indicate poverty. Her parents lost their fortune and jobs in Poland. She and her husband refused to patent their method for isolating radium which would have made them quite wealthy. She also gave away most of her Nobel Prize money and other money given to her, to scientific institutions and friends and family. Her Jupiter in Aquarius explains why she didn’t want to patent their method, she believed scientific knowledge should be free and research unhindered. This placement, as well as her Sun trine Uranus, is also for individuality and freedom and rebellion, she was agnostic and married in a civil union to avoid a religious ceremony.
Transits for life events:
Uranus was transiting her natal Sun when she married. Leo intercepted in her 7th house of partnership, Sun is a co-ruler of that house. Jupiter was transiting this house as well. Pluto was transiting her 5th house (love affairs), inconjunct her natal Sun. Pluto transiting 5th when her first child was born.
Uranus was transiting her 11th house (goals) when she won her first Nobel Prize. Jupiter was conjunct her 2nd house natal Moon (1 degree exactly), Nobel Prizes have a monetary prize as well. At the time she won her 2nd Nobel Prize, Jupiter was conjunct her 10th house stellium.
When her husband died, Uranus was transiting her 12th house. 12th is the house of sorrow, natal Uranus on cusp of 7th. Not sure if this is an indicator, but it’s interesting to note. Also Saturn was transiting her 1st house, the worst time in one’s life.
At the time her affair (after she was widowed, but in that era it was still taboo) was made public, followed by disgrace, Saturn was transiting her natal Pluto, Scorpio on cusp of 10th house, 10th rules the reputation. She was slandered in the press.
At the time of her death, Saturn was again transiting on a late degree in her 1st house, conjunct her Jupiter. Jupiter rules her 12th house of endings. Neptune was in her 8th house (rules death). Neptune rules weakening and poisons, she died from years of exposure to radiation.
