The Astrology of Scientist Marie Curie

For the confusion of the student of primary directions, you realize that are many directions in the same period that those of major angular or planetary motion; there are the aspectual directions and directions to cusps, which can also dictate a thing or two directly to the event but first pointed out by a major direction alone. For this reason, it is essential to distillate signs, planets and aspects to their maximum, as this technique gives objective results rather than subjective.

If you analyze the table of directions above, you realize that the some of Marie’s major events in life was dictated by planets over the angles of her chart [1st, 4th, 7th and 10th], they were either rising, culminating or even descending by primary direction, which the last Marie died. Curie’s life is an in excellent and quite fitting example to investigate primary directions [the same with Henry Ford]; Another interesting detail is that the natal Ascendant conjunct behenian fixed star Vega, in which constellation it resides is associated with Venus [popularity], Jupiter [praise] and Mercury [knowledge]. Then, whatever direction to cardinal Ascendant [direct or converse], it would always involve such fixed star thematic. Elsbeth Ebertin pointed “…High success is promised. One can find Vega in corresponding aspects in birth charts of statesmen, politicians, persons of importance and influential persons.” Well, although leaving a hardcore life, she succeed many times in her life through learning, knowledge, research and sharing her discoveries to society, the many variations of operating Mercury and Jupiter [term ruler of her chart].

1891 [Studies begin] – When the witty promissor planet of studying and learning Mercury conjunct significator honorable Sun by primary direction in the Zodiac, Marie joined her sister in Paris [Sun in the 9th house of abroad] to study math, physics and chemistry at the Sorbonne. She proved a brilliant student with an early interest in the magnetic properties of steel. Within two years she received her license in science with the highest marks of her class [Sun]. Worth remember that her natal Sun was conjunct Saturn [steel] in the radix. In order for Mercury to reach out the nine o’clock position of the Sun, it had had to first pass by Saturn in the 10th house.

1895 [Marriage] – Marie was drawn to fellow scientist, Pierre Curie by their mutual interest in magnetism and devotion to science. They met at the home of a Polish physicist who was staying in Paris, and married on 7/26/1895 at a simple civic ceremony. Such event was activated by the primary directions of greater benefic Jupiter to the wonderful trine converse of Venus, the planet of marriages. Venus is the victorious or Almudebit of Curie’s radix.

1898 [The Discoveries; Radium & Polonium] – Both were discovered in the same year; As Jupiter was moving towards the Ascendant Converse by Primary Direction, is first trine Venus and Marie gets married – then 3 years later it rises and conjunct the 1st house cusp. Jupiter is the planet of final researches [dissertation, scientific thesis/research, etc.]. This is the same direction that took place when Anton Kollish  discovers MDMA [ecstasy] – Fascinating! 

Jupiter is Ascendant’s term ruler – directions from it or to it, indicated periods that highlight the importance of the nativity. This also explains why she lived her live in ‘academical’ sphere, where researches, studying more and investigating further was her mainly goal. Jupiter square the Venus-Saturn conjunction, her Ascendant’s Dodecatemoria falls in terms with Saturn.

One of the 15 Behenian Fixed Stars, Vega is the brightest stars in the heavens and is definitely of the nature of Venus. Associated with recompense, satisfaction, and completion, filling up, finishing, and rewards for tasks that have been fulfilled. At the same period, Jupiter conjunct Vega by Primary Direction.
