Ingrid Bergman had the Sun in Virgo, the Moon in Aries and Leo rising: a Stockholm-born star of Casablanca, with a warm, radiant first impression, a careful Virgo craft and a brave, impulsive heart.

She was born at 3:30 in the morning on 29 August 1915 in Stockholm. Astro-Databank rates the time AA, from a birth record in hand. She began in Swedish films, came to Hollywood with Intermezzo (1939), and starred in Casablanca (1942), Gaslight, Notorious and Murder on the Orient Express. She won three Academy Awards, acted in five languages, and died in London on her 67th birthday, 29 August 1982.

Sun and Venus in Virgo, in the 1st house

Her Sun is at 4 degrees of Virgo with Venus just before it, both in the 1st house, the house of the self, the face and the body. Virgo is a modest, natural sign, and Venus in the 1st house is beauty on show. Bergman was famous for looking natural on screen in an age of heavy make-up. Virgo is also the sign of craft: she learned English, Italian and French well enough to act in each. The Sun makes easy sextiles to Mars and Pluto, giving quiet strength under the gentleness.

Moon in Aries in the 9th house

Her Moon is in Aries, the sign of courage and impulse, in the 9th house of travel and foreign lands. An Aries Moon follows its feelings fast, and the 9th house takes it far from home. In 1949 she went to Italy to work with the director Roberto Rossellini, and their love affair, while both were married to others, caused a scandal in the United States that kept her in Europe for several years. She returned to Hollywood and won her second Oscar for Anastasia (1956).

Leo rising, with a Taurus Midheaven

Leo rising is warm, radiant and made to be seen. Hers sits at 23 degrees, and Neptune, the planet of film and dreams, is in Leo too, in her 12th house. Her Midheaven, the public role, is in Taurus, the sign of beauty and endurance: a career of five decades in film, stage and television. Her father was a photographer who loved to photograph her birthdays, and she spent her life in front of a camera.
