Myrna Loy’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Myrna Loy was born on Wednesday, 2 August 1905, in Helena, Montana. Their zodiac sign was Leo. The Moon changed sign at about 10:10, from Leo to Virgo; which of the two is the Moon sign depends on the hour of birth. Myrna died on 14 December 1993, aged 88. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, three are in air signs, three in water, two in earth and one in fire. Mutable signs hold five, cardinal signs two and fixed signs two. Three planets stand together in Gemini: Venus, Jupiter and Pluto. The tightest aspect is Saturn sextile Uranus, about 0.2° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Saturn and Uranus were retrograde. The Moon was a waxing crescent.
StarMap's dataset holds 18 other people born on 2 August, among them Peter O'Toole, James Baldwin and Sam Worthington.

Myrna Loy’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Leo
about 9° Leo at midday
A Leo Sun shines. For Myrna Loy that suggests warmth, generosity and a need to be seen for who they really are, running through much of what they do. This placement grows by learning that the light is not diminished when it is shared.
Moon sign
Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 10:10, then Virgo (local time). Which one depends on a birth time StarMap does not have.
Born before about 10:10: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon feels with its whole heart and needs that to be noticed. Warm attention tends to fill Myrna up, and being overlooked can empty them faster than anything. Play, creativity and loyal friends usually bring them back to themselves.
Born after about 10:10: Moon in Virgo
A Virgo Moon feels by fixing. When something is wrong, Myrna is likely to look for the practical cause and to calm down by tidying, planning or being useful. The lesson of this Moon is to accept help without a to-do list attached.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over Helena, Montana, at each hour of the day.
Myrna Loy’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Myrna yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 2 August 1905, computed for Helena, Montana.

Myrna Loy’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Myrna Loy’s private life.
Purpose for Myrna Loy is probably tied to creating and being seen doing it, and a Leo Sun's vitality rises the moment there is an audience, even an audience of one. The tension is losing steam when no one is watching. The giveaway is often the extra effort that goes into something the moment someone notices them making it.
Moon in Leo or Virgo
Leo until about 10:10, then Virgo
needs and habits
Born before about 10:10: Moon in Leo
A Leo Moon needs warmth and acknowledgement worked into everyday life, not just on big occasions. A day with no one noticing can drain Myrna faster than a hard day with an audience. The mood tends to lift visibly the moment someone compliments something small Myrna did.
Born after about 10:10: Moon in Virgo
The Moon in Virgo runs towards order, and a messy space or an unfinished list can unsettle Myrna's mood more than most people would guess. Small, useful tasks are calming. The trouble can start when Myrna's own needs become another chore to get right instead of something to enjoy.
For Myrna, Mercury in Virgo points to thinking that is precise and attentive to detail, and to clear communication, because the facts have usually been checked first. The catch is fixating on a small error and losing sight of the larger point. This is the placement that edits a message three times before sending something everyone else would have sent in one go.
Venus in Gemini loves through conversation, wit and mental connection, and tends to find a dull partner harder to stay with than a challenging one. Myrna probably values variety and being kept interested. Attention may wander with this Venus, and that can be treated as more serious than it is. Banter is the natural way to flirt here, more than anything more direct.
In Myrna'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.
Jupiter in Gemini
2° Gemini 05' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Gemini grows through learning and exposure to as many ideas as can be gathered, and its optimism is contagious in conversation. Myrna may overreach by knowing a little about everything and claiming more certainty than the depth supports. This is someone who can be the best-read person in the room on subjects they have never studied closely.
Saturn in Pisces builds discipline around boundaries, and it usually starts from a habit of carrying feelings that belong to other people. For Myrna, the doubt is likely to take the form of guilt for protecting their own time and energy. What this Saturn works towards is a quiet, mature compassion, once it is clear that a boundary and a closed heart are not the same thing.
Uranus in Capricorn
0° Capricorn 48' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Many people within a few years of Myrna's age share Uranus in Capricorn, the mark of a generation that dismantles and rebuilds old institutions and structures of authority. Personally, that can mean scepticism towards any system that asks for trust without having shown why it deserves it.
Neptune in Cancer
9° Cancer 04' at midday
imagination, generational
Neptune in Cancer is shared by Myrna and many people born in the same decade or so. The generation idealises home and family, often carrying a wider nostalgia for a version of belonging that may never quite have existed. Personally it can be a soft-focus longing for a childhood home.
Pluto in Gemini
22° Gemini 17' at midday
power, generational
Myrna shares Pluto in Gemini with many people born in the same long stretch of years. That generation transforms communication and collective thought, often through upheavals in how information is controlled and shared. The personal portion is an intense relationship with what counts as truth.
Aspects in Myrna Loy’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Saturn sextile Uranus
about 0.2° at midday
Discipline and independence combine in this sextile to give Myrna Loy a workable way of keeping a routine while leaving room to change it. The flexibility is quiet and sustainable, and it keeps a good habit from calcifying into an unquestioned rule.
Jupiter square Saturn
about 1.1° at midday
Enthusiasm for growth can run into limits here, whether practical or self-imposed, and to Myrna it may feel as though ambition keeps outrunning the time and energy available. Jupiter square Saturn works best when the limit is treated as a pace-setter and not as a wall.
Mercury sextile Neptune
about 2.0° at midday
Myrna's thinking and imagination cooperate gently, so creative and intuitive ideas are within easy reach. The inventiveness is soft and pleasant rather than analytical, useful for easing a difficult conversation without losing the point of it.
Venus conjunction Pluto
about 3.8° at midday
Love tends to run deep and complete under Venus conjunct Pluto, and Myrna is likely to lean towards intensity over casual affection. Relationships gain depth from it. What takes practice is trusting a connection without needing to test it to prove it is real.
Venus opposition Uranus
about 4.7° at midday
Myrna may want intimacy and still feel a reflex to protect their freedom the moment things seem too certain; that is the tension of Venus opposite Uranus. Naming the need for space early tends to work better than acting on it as sudden distance.
Venus trine Saturn
about 4.9° at midday
A steady, dependable way of loving, one that people trust, is what this trine gives Myrna, since affection and commitment hold each other up. Relationships built on it tend to last, often well past the point where less committed people would have moved on.
The rest, listed without a reading.

- Mercury opposition Saturnabout 6.0°

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris.
