Hedy Lamarr’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Hedy Lamarr was born in Vienna, Austria, on 9 November 1914, a Monday. The Sun was in Scorpio, so Scorpio was their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Leo and Cancer rising. Hedy died on 19 January 2000, aged 85. The birth time, 19:30, comes from Astro-Databank with a Rodden rating of A, which means it was given from memory by the person or someone close to them.
Of the ten planets, five are in water signs, three in fire and two in air; none is in earth. By modality the count is seven fixed, two cardinal and one mutable. Three planets stand together in Scorpio: Sun, Mercury and Mars. The tightest aspect is Saturn conjunction Pluto, 0.2° from exact. Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. The Moon was waning gibbous, between full and last quarter.

Hedy Lamarr’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Scorpio
16° Scorpio 31'
A Scorpio Sun goes deep. Surface answers are unlikely to satisfy Hedy Lamarr, and with this Sun, loyalty, once given, tends to be total. This placement is built for transformation: it ends chapters fully so the next one can begin.
Moon sign
Leo
2° Leo 03'
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Hedy up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Rising sign
Cancer
9° Cancer 36'
With Cancer rising, Hedy tends to come across as approachable and a little guarded. People often confide in a Cancer rising early and find that they are noticed in return; the shell opens on its own schedule.

Hedy Lamarr’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign and house: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Hedy Lamarr’s private life.
Sun in Scorpio
16° Scorpio 31' · fifth house
purpose and vitality
The Sun in Scorpio finds purpose in going past the surface of things, and Hedy Lamarr's vitality tends to be fuelled by intensity rather than ease. The catch can be needing a crisis or a deep dive before they feel fully engaged. Small talk tends to bore them; a subject that interests them absorbs them completely.
With the Sun in the fifth house, self-expression, romance and creative play are probably where Hedy feels most alive, and holding that side back tends to leave them flat. The placement asks for a stage of some kind, even a small and informal one, or that natural warmth has nowhere to go.
Moon in Leo
2° Leo 03' · second house
needs and habits
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Hedy faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Hedy did.
Security, with the Moon in the second house, comes from familiar things and clearly held values, and for Hedy sudden change or big leaps hold little appeal. When their sense of what matters is shaken, their whole mood follows it.
Mercury in Scorpio
11° Scorpio 19' ℞ · fifth house
mind and voice
With Mercury in Scorpio, Hedy tends to think in layers, looking for what is not being said as much as what is spoken aloud. Once they have decided to speak they can be very direct, and until then, silent. The tension is suspecting a hidden motive where there is only an ordinary one.
Creative projects, playful banter and whatever happens to be interesting at the moment are apt to light up Hedy's mind. Mercury in the fifth house flirts with ideas the way other people flirt with each other, testing an idea, turning it over and seeing whether it talks back.
Venus in Sagittarius
12° Sagittarius 08' ℞ · sixth house
love and values
Venus in Sagittarius loves with enthusiasm and a need for shared adventure, and Hedy probably values a partner who gives them room to roam. When things get serious, this placement can confuse freedom with distance. The pattern with this Venus is to plan the next trip together before settling into the current one.
In Hedy's chart, Venus in the sixth house lends grace to the working day, and ordinary tasks often become more pleasant for the people alongside them. A harmonious workplace probably matters more than an impressive one, and tension there can wear on Hedy faster than the workload does.
Mars in Scorpio
28° Scorpio 47' · fifth house
drive and anger
In Hedy's chart, Mars in Scorpio acts with focus and intensity, and its anger, when it surfaces, tends to be controlled, cutting and hard to forget. The risk with this Mars is holding on to a grievance well past its useful life. A calm exterior gives little warning before a sharp response.
With Mars in the fifth house, Hedy is apt to go after what excites them without much hesitation, and creative and romantic pursuits can carry intensity. The placement brings competition and passion alive in this part of life, and is rarely satisfied by a half-hearted effort.
Jupiter in Aquarius
14° Aquarius 02' · eighth house
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Hedy may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Jupiter in the eighth house brings a quiet trust to intimacy and to whatever is held in common, and for Hedy it suggests an expectation that things will be fair with the people closest to them. The placement goes with meeting deep change openly, not warily.
Saturn in Cancer
1° Cancer 45' ℞ · twelfth house
discipline and doubt
Emotional security is where Hedy's Saturn in Cancer builds discipline; it is a placement often associated with learning early to be the steady one. Asking for care tends to be difficult with this Saturn, even when care is clearly needed. Over time, people with this placement often become the dependable anchor for others, including some who never quite return the favour.
Saturn in the twelfth house puts a quiet discipline into Hedy's private life, and solitude can feel like a duty before it slowly becomes a source of strength. Saturn here makes facing what is unresolved within slow work, and the peace it brings is likely to be hard-won.
Uranus in Aquarius
7° Aquarius 53' · eighth house
freedom, generational
Uranus is at home in Aquarius, and many people born in the years around Hedy's birth have it too. The generation is defined by rapid technological and social change within a single lifetime. One person's share of it is an unusually easy relationship with disruption and reinvention.
Intimacy is something Hedy is likely to approach in their own particular way, sometimes resisting the usual expectations about how far two lives should merge. With Uranus in the eighth house, sudden insights about the self tend to arrive through close, unguarded relationships rather than in solitude.
Neptune in Leo
0° Leo 26' ℞ · second house
imagination, generational
Neptune in Leo is the imagination of an age group, not of Hedy alone. It dreams in terms of fame, spectacle and larger-than-life self-expression. The trace of it in one person is a pull towards performance as a way of feeling real.
Neptune in the second house holds material things loosely, and what Hedy owns probably matters less to them than what it means. The placement leans towards intangible values, the kind that are hard to set out in a list and easier to recognise in practice.
Pluto in Cancer
1° Cancer 58' ℞ · twelfth house
power, generational
Pluto in Cancer dates Hedy to an era rather than describing one person. Those born in it live through deep transformation of family, home and nationhood. What an individual may carry is intensity around belonging and who counts as family.
Pluto in the twelfth house suggests a great deal going on beneath the surface for Hedy, with growth coming from facing what is hidden within instead of avoiding it. Solitude can be the setting for the biggest changes, more than any single outside event.
Aspects in Hedy Lamarr’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first.
Saturn conjunction Pluto
0.2° separating
Saturn conjunct Pluto describes discipline forged through intensity, often after a period that asked for more endurance than seemed fair at the time. For Hedy Lamarr the aspect suggests serious, hard-won resilience, and the remaining step is trusting that what needed proving has been proved.
Moon conjunction Neptune
1.6° separating
With the Moon conjunct Neptune, Hedy is likely to be deeply sensitive and imaginative, picking up on the moods around them almost before registering their own. Empathy is the gift in this, and the lesson worth learning is which feelings are theirs.
Mars trine Neptune
1.7° applying
An inspired, almost effortless way of pursuing creative or compassionate goals belongs to Mars trine Neptune, which puts Hedy's drive and imagination in step. Energy and vision arrive together, so starting a meaningful project is likely to feel far less daunting than it looks from outside.
Venus sextile Jupiter
1.9° separating
Warmth and generosity come naturally to Hedy and stop short of overextending, because affection and optimism work together in this sextile. Call it comfortable, unforced goodwill, the kind that makes people feel welcome without any performance being needed.
Sun square Jupiter
2.5° separating
Ambition can outpace what time and energy will realistically support, and with this aspect Hedy may promise more than can be delivered and then walk it back. The lesson of a Sun-Jupiter square is scaling a good instinct to a size that holds.
Mercury square Jupiter
2.7° separating
Thinking can run ahead of the evidence when Mercury is square Jupiter, leading to overconfident claims or promises made faster than Hedy can check them. Matching enthusiasm to what has been verified makes their confidence more durable, not less.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.
