Unity Mitford was one of five infamous debutante sisters of the 1930s, who developed an infatuation with Hitler. Her sister Diana, wife of Oswald Mosley of the British Fascist Party, spent the war in an internment camp because of Nazi sympathies. Unity’s diaries of her time in Germany between 1935 and 1939 have been published relating her intimate access to Hitler and she was viewed as his English girlfriend. Her dearest wish, friends said, was to become Mrs Hitler. Rabidly anti-Semitic, she wanted him to conquer the world.
Her defiant wearing of a swastika badge got her stoned in Hyde Park and arrested and strip-searched in Czechoslovakia. Because of her, the Mosleys and the Duke of Windsor, Hitler was led to believe that the British upper classes would not only align with Nazism but have a popular following.
At the outbreak of the war, she shot herself in the head from which she never recovered, dying in the UK in 1948.
Born 8 August 1914 in London as World War 1 broke out, she was an attention-seeking Leo Sun opposition Jupiter, though more significantly she had Mars Venus conjunct in Virgo square Saturn in Gemini and Pluto in Cancer. Mars Venus can be promiscuous and would certainly have made her compulsive in her interests. Square Saturn adds a masochistic streak. Mars Pluto would attract her to powerful and ruthless men. Plus she had delusional Neptune Mercury in Cancer.
Hitler’s Saturn in Leo was conjunct her Sun and opposition her Jupiter – she attempted to be his cheerleader while he kept her at arm’s length. Her Neptune in Cancer fell close to his Midheaven and square his Taurus Sun – illusions were rife. His manipulative 8th house Neptune Pluto in Gemini, the subterranean influencer, tugged at her Mars Venus in trine. Her Venus Mars in earthy Virgo may well have been attracted to his Mars Venus in Taurus, unbelievable though it may sound.
Their relationship chart had a perverse composite Venus, Mars, Saturn conjunction opposition Jupiter hinting at a decidedly one-side relationship with elements of cruelty in it. There was also a composite Sun conjunct controlling Pluto on one side and illusory Neptune on the other.
As war approached in 1939 tr Pluto crossed over her Mercury Neptune and tr Saturn in Taurus in square – putting immense pressure on her mental instability. And tr Neptune was square their composite Sun.
What a weird, unbalanced woman. Oddly enough Eva Braun, longtime companion and briefly wife of Hitler had her Aquarius Sun in his 4th opposition his Saturn. His Taurus Sun sat on her Descendant which is good for relationships though her Uranus in square would make for tensions.
Their relationship chart had a passionate though disruptive composite Venus Mercury opposition Uranus square Pluto; and a moody, changeable Jupiter opposition Saturn Neptune square Sun.
You don’t mention that there seems to have been the possibility that she had Hitler’s baby and that the baby was put up for adoption. It was well known that afteshe shot herself, that Hitler carefuly arranged her journey back to the UK, she spent several months in a maternity home.
When she tried suicide by gun to the brain, in Munich, Germany she had:
Trans Dido, suicide, conj natal Asc; trans Erigone, suicide, opp 8th cusp,
surgery; trans Uranus, conj 6th cusp, injury; trans Gun opp natal Sun, 8th;
trans Bechtereva, brain, opp natal Asc.
Her rectified chart seems to confirm this event on 3 Sept, 1939.
In her Wikipedia page, it states Unity Mitford was “conceived in Canada in the town of Swastika, Ontario”
Venus-Mars people are always forming relationships…..it’s Venus, partners
conj Mars on steroids.
The MC shows who or whom we adore. “Adolf” is her most evevated object,
near the MC conj Germania. Mean BML is conj the Aries IC, favorite homeland. Aries rules Germany.
Here is Unity Mitford’s rectified chart. She has strong projections unto strong
men like Hitler.

We rectified her chart, Asc 25Sag. Then for her death event from meningitis
caused by bullet fragment, we moved her transit Moon to conj her natal Sun.
Death event was shown by Return Uranus conj the natal Descendant and
natal Uranus conjunct the return 8th cusp.

Thank you, Marjorie. A weird and unbalanced woman indeed. It’s hard to picture a ludicrous figure like Hitler as a smouldering rock star, but that seems to be how UM saw him. I always remember my grandfather saying that if Hitler had tried his ‘fürer’ stuff in Great Britain, he would be followed by gangs of mocking children. But the fact was that a portion of the British Aristocracy supported him, including Unity Mitford’s father, Lord Redesdale who admired him, though as a patriot Redesdale did not support Hitler or Germany after the outbreak of the war.
I don’t know what it is about Venus/Mars, but I remember you drew our attention to it during the Epstein scandal, since so many participants had Venus/Mars conjunctions natally. Both UM and Hitler have this signature. It’s as if Venus becomes her most predatory when combined with Mars, as if Venus/Mars in relationships bring in competitiveness, aggression or force. I think it interesting, given that Hitler enjoyed pitting Eva Braun against any upstart rival who took his eye that Unity’s Venus/Mars is conjunct Eva Braun’s Virgo Moon. With her Venus/Mars in square to Saturn/Pluto, I wondered how much father figures and ancestral patterns played a part in her dysfunction.
Lord Redesdale’s Uranus/SN in Leo was opposite his Venus/NN in Aquarius and he had a T square on Mars in Taurus conjunct both Pluto and Algol, with his Venus in Aquarius. Her Leo Sun opposes that Jupiter/Uranus in Aquarius. Lord Redesdale, her father was an eccentric child who had an excess of physical energy which could only be channeled through his passion for riding and equestrian activities. Upper class parenting at the time was somewhat ‘hands off’ and her mother, Syndney Bowles was a chilly, since her own mother died when she was about 8 years old. Sydney has Venus/Neptune/Chiron/Sun/Pluto in Taurus and Moon in Gemini or late Taurus. Quite an intense stellium, which was not uncommon for those who were born in the 1880s because of the line up of so many outer planets in Taurus at that time. Hitler rose to power while Uranus was in Taurus.
I wonder too, if being one of six siblings meant that she felt overlooked by all that talent and beauty and shocking everyone was a way of getting attention. I also find it uncanny that her middle name was Valkerie and that she was conceived in a Canadian town called Swastika.
Sorry, Lord Redesdale was the Mitford sister’s father.
“It’s as if Venus becomes her most predatory when combined with Mars, as if Venus/Mars in relationships bring in competitiveness, aggression or force.”
From what I’ve read of Venus in Aries, which is in its detriment or fall, Aries is impatient and rushes in, takes the initiative and gets pushy. Whereas Venus needs to be a receiving energy – it should flirt, encourage, give come-ons to lure someone into falling in love with it, giving it presents, attention to make it feel loved.
But for the Mars/Aries types their energy is so focused on winning over the loved one that when the goal is achieved it leaves them feeling empty rather than satisfied. Their energy has been focused on ticking off their personal goal rather than creating a relationship with the other.
Venus/Mars is also a signature of sexual abuse as a child. Especially in Aries, with the Aries Point, on one arm of a Grand Cardinal Cross. I have this in my chart, that’s how I know.
