Celebrity Focus 3: Marilyn Monroe
AI translated from the original Chinese.
Celebrity Focus reaches its third subject. Today let's talk about the legendary life of the sex symbol of the '60s, Marilyn Monroe.
Case Summary:
Age 1: born 09:30, June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, USA
Ages 1–8: 1926–1933, because of financial problems, Monroe's mother placed her with a foster family.
Age 8: 1933, her mother felt financially able to care for her and brought her home. But a few months later, her mother had to leave her again due to paranoid schizophrenia.
Ages 8–19: 1933–1944, Monroe kept moving between foster homes and an orphanage. There are records of sexual abuse by a foster family during this time.
Ages 19–24: 1944–1949, gradually entered show business.
Ages 25–27: 1950–1952, took on a string of film roles.
Age 28: 1953, became the first cover girl and centerfold of Playboy, a sex symbol.
Ages 29–34: 1954–1959, two marriages, while her career reached its peak.
Ages 35–37: 1960–1962, her career declined. During this time she had surgery for endometriosis and a gallbladder removal.
Age 37: died in the early hours of August 5, 1962.
(Ages are counted in the East Asian way.)
Questions:
- Why was Marilyn Monroe's family unstable, with no fixed home, before 19?
- Monroe entered show business at 19; why did her career only peak at 29?
- How do we see her endometriosis and gallbladder problems?
- Monroe died at 37. Theories about the cause abound, but let's look for clues in the chart.
As usual, transformed:
Why did Marilyn Monroe have no fixed home in childhood?
Monroe's main star 太陰 (Tai Yin) in 子
- 太陰 is Monroe's main star; it is also the star of the mother and of the family.
- 太陰 in 子, a strong palace.
- 太陰 in 子, stem 庚: 天同 (Tian Tong) becomes 化忌. The 子 Palace's 天同 and 太陰 were originally strong, but struck from the three sides by all six malefics, 地空 (Di Kong), 地劫 (Di Jie), 擎羊 (Qing Yang), 陀羅 (Tuo Luo), 火星 (Huo Xing) and 鈴星 (Ling Xing), they turn weak. Add the effect of 天同 化忌, and negative effects result.
- 太陰 meeting 空劫 (Kong Jie): no fixed home.
- 太陰 meeting 擎羊 and 陀羅 traditionally speaks of "people leave, money scatters." In fact Monroe's family ties were very thin, which shows exactly this.
Bringing in her mother's data: her mother's main star is also 太陰
- The mother's 太陰 in 子, stem 壬: 天梁 (Tian Liang) becomes 化祿, which does auspiciously transform 天同 and 太陰 in 子, but the 子 Palace is struck by too many malefics, so this 壬 can at most speak of the will being there but not the strength.
- The mother's 祿存 (Lu Cun) is in 亥, with 擎羊 sitting in 子, forming the "people leave, money scatters" pattern on 太陰, and also forming the evil "doubled 擎羊 and 陀羅" pattern with 擎羊 in 午. So it wasn't easy for her to care for Monroe adequately.
- Care is a matter of 天梁. 天梁 in 辰 sees 地劫 and 陀羅, stem 甲, which brings no help or benefit to 天梁. So this too says that even if the mother wanted to, she couldn't care for Monroe properly.
Conclusion
Marilyn Monroe was the sex symbol of the '60s and an iconic symbol of American culture. It seems that a person this special must have a special past to make her who she is.
In Monroe's childhood, 太陰 in 子 looks warm and happy, yet it is heavily struck by the six malefics. Quite remarkable, and it reflects the hardship of her childhood.
