She entered the cabaret scene in 1920s Germany, first as a spectator then as a cabaret singer. Marlene’s first appearances were in silent movies and she made huge success and furor. The presence power it was what made films and presentations successful and the personal image they created.
Dietrich lived mainly in Paris after 1968. She had married in 1924 to Rudolf Sieber, a casting director with whom she had a daughter in 1924. The marriage was short but they remained friends. The rest of her real life was abundantly lived with mysterious and exciting relationships and lovers as with the writer Erich Maria Remarque, the French actor Jean Gabin, the Cuban-American writer Mercedes Acosta and Ernest Hemminghay.
Dietrich remained popular throughout her long career by continually re-inventing herself. Mystery and glamour are the first things that come to mind when the name Marlene Dietrich is mentioned.
The last notable film Marlene played was the emotional “Judgment at Nuremberg” where she played a wife of a Nazi officer. In the late 70s she withdrew from public life, becoming a recluse in the Sanctuary of her Paris Apartment. Although she spent the last twelve years of her life bed-ridden, she maintained active telephone conversations and correspondence with her friends and associates. On May 6,1992 she died in her sleep.
Now we’re going to introduce Astrology’s modern point of view:
1-The Horoscope shows a conspicuous Northeast hemisphere emphasis calling attention to the east side of the Horoscope, once the southern planets are all retrogrades. In this view, we can see and understand in a flash an alarm about “unfinished business in the early home, registered by planets orientated below the horizon. The appropriate question we would propose to this figure is how it has affected your job development, your professional choices, your relationships? What can we do about it to put it to rest?
2- Marlene was raised by her mother as is written above. We are able to confirm this by looking to the Lunar Nodal axis. In fact we see the Moon, representing the mother figure in a square aspect with the Lunar Nodal axis. This suggests enormous maternal influence in terms of the planet or point configurated. This is a confirmation indeed of the #1, isn’t?
3- The Moon is a peregrine planet, without Ptolemaic aspects. The Moon when in a Fire Sign tend to exaggerate and brag when we are not sure of ourselves. Neptune, which is the ruler of 7 th house ( relationships) is at A.Point. This particular position brings us to the foreground the potential of public projection in terms of the planet, point or midpoint configurated with it.
4-We check for self-worth profile, the 2nd house, ruled by Mercury: here, the Mercury is opposed by Neptune ruler of the 7 th house, introducing once more anxiety about close relationships. The self-worth profile is strongly attached. Marlene learned to feel unloved. The rulers of the 5 th-11th house rulers are under stress developmental aspects also Saturn being the Final Dispositor of the Horoscope , it rules the 5th feeling loved, intensifying her lack of love by her mother figure during the early formative developmental youth.
5- Her Capricorn Sun-Leo Moon emphasizes the drive to organize and deploy resources. Self-dramatization is the commonly mode of persuasion and the call for appreciation. The need to be loved is of a paramount importance.
6- When a person has concerns about these fundamental loved needs one becomes aware of the particular resource insecurity and what it usually follows next is the mechanism of overcompensation as a way of react to it. Dietrich used Cinema-Films-Arts as form to enhance her self-esteem.
Neptune is the symbol which typifies the Cinema, films, Arts Industries and at Dietrich’s Horoscope it rules the public acclaim, the applauses being also placed on a angle.
