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.
