Marie Curie
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.
Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin – January 17, 1706. Boston Massachusetts. Birth time originally 10:30am, rectified by a professional to 9:37am, placing Saturn in his 2nd house instead of 1st, a few other changes.
From my notes, I think the first time is more accurate. Saturn in 1st house, endurance and discipline, and this puts his MC in Capricorn, emphasis on his notable career and reputation. Also, with the original birth time, Uranus is trine his AC. Uranus aspects to chart ruler and/or AC is noted in charts of exceptionally gifted people. However, he also has Mercury opposite Uranus, another indicator of being highly intelligent. With the original birth time, his AC is in Aries, chart ruler Mars in 9th house of publishing, and he was a leading author and printer (opened his own print shop at age 17). Pluto in 5th (instead of 6th with the rectified birth time) much creative power. However, with the rectified chart, Uranus in 6th makes sense (inventors, geniuses, humanitarian work).
With the original birth time, his DC (7th house cusp, house of relationships) would be on the star Vindemiatix, marriage can be unfortunate (entered common-law relationship, unable to marry due to her being previously married to to a man who ran off with her dowry, anti-bigamy laws prevented her from remarrying). This star rules loss of partner through death, he outlived her by 16 years.
Benjamin Franklin has a yod in his chart. Yods indicate a fated life (see HPS Maxines post on yods). His yod planets Moon and Venus pointing to Uranus, the planet of inventions, higher knowledge, revolution, freedom, progress.
Fire grand trine (Neptune-Pluto-Mars). Independent, self-starter, good for health (he lived to 85, much higher than life expectancy in that era).
Jupiter in Cancer, very patriotic (became president of America). Venus in 10th, enjoys being before the public.
Sun in 11th house (both birth times). Emphasis on friends, fairness, humanitarian nature. Enjoys leadership and belonging to groups and organizations. Describes him perfectly. Mercury in Aquarius, innovator and inventor, interested in bettering humanity and change existing conditions, talent with science and mathematics.
Mercury is retrograde, perceives information and communications differently, excellent in research and details. Mercury square Saturn, not good for education, he only did a few years of formal schooling. Thorough and hardworking in regards to education and learning. Opposite Pluto, excellent concentration and investigating.
Moon at 4 Pisces (Deneb Adige), above average intelligence, money made through arts and sciences. Saturn conjunct Almach, popular influence, possible fame, prominent position.
Mars in Sagittarius, honest, loves travel (traveled many times to England etc), life-long student. Mars in 9th adds to this, as well as with my first paragraphs of authoring and publishing. Also, conflict with in-laws, the mother of his common-law wife would not let them marry, and married her to someone else while he was in England (that husband ran away with her dowry, never heard from again).
Moon in 12th house Pisces. Shyness, loneliness, sensitive, compassionate, psychic ability, active imagination. Inconjunct Uranus, unusual family life, had 16 siblings and a common-law relationship (common-law was not the norm for that era).
Jupiter and Uranus are retrograde, freedom, rebellion, spirituality, intuition. Pluto is also retrograde, inner intensity, do-or-die attitude.

Neptune weakens- confusion about the self. Hard Sun-Neptune aspects can indicate a weak father, his father abandoned the family when he was a young child.
Mercury in same sign/house placement, loves being center of attention, talent with speaking and lecturing before others, continuous study for work /career.

Jupiter and Saturn, conjunct in 12th house: powerful imagination (Jupiter square Neptune adds to this), good for meditation but prone to depression. Jupiter in Aquarius, happiest when belonging to groups and with friends, interested in betting humanity and social reforms, progressive. Jupiter conjunct Saturn, heavy responsibilities, potential for great success through hard work and discipline, workaholic. Saturn in Capricorn, professional success through hard work and effort, workaholic, practical, dependable, reliable, responsible, talent for business. Cares about his reputation.
Transits for life events:
