On December 28, 1930 Welles father died of heart and kidney failure, Welles was 15 years old. The profection was in the 4th whole sign, Virgo, with the profected Asc at 24 Virgo 20 ad Mercury as Lord of the Year. The profection is in the 4th of the father with Mercury, lord of the year, in the profected 8th (death, inheritance) with the Sun (father).

1. The N.Node is critical at 0 AQ and by direction inconjunct radix Pluto in the 1st conjunct Saturn ruler of the radix 8th and in the trine of directed Fortune (also critical) .

2. No elements are changing degrees; however, the directed 3rd (radix 3rd is in Leo, Leo is on the profected 12th, sorrow) is sextile Mercury (LoY) and trine Jupiter, ruler of the profected 4th (father) while directed Jupiter is inconjunct the lot of the Father and in a mitigated semi-sextile (conjunct) the lot of Inheritance and directed Neptune is in a mitigated semi-sextile (conjunct) the radix 3rd. The directed lot of the Father is semi-sextile the radix Asc.

3. The directed 3rd is also sextile directed Venus (ruler of the profected 2nd, money) while directed Venus opposes radix Jupiter (ruler of the profected 4th, father) and trines radix Mercury (LoY). Welles inherited his father's estate.

4. Directed Mercury, lord of the year, is inconjunct directed Mars, ruler of the profected 8th while being with the Sun (father) in the profected 8th.

EDIT Nov 12, 2023: fixed directions.

On November 14, 1934 Welles married the actress Virginia Nicolson, he was 19. The profection was in the 8th whole sign of Capricorn. The 8th house cusp is at 14 CP 18 which is in the partile trine of radix Sun at 14 TA 56, making the Sun, rather than Saturn, the Lord of the Year. The Sun, LoY, is on the cusp of the 5th (romance).

1. Directed Neptune is critical at 0 Cancer with radix Neptune in the profected 7th (marriage) conjunct directed Pluto (coercion) and square the directed 11th (radix 11th is in Aries which is on the profected 4th).

2. Directed Mercury, ruler of the profected 9th (courts) while radix Mercury is in the profected 5th (romance) with the Sun, Lord of the Year who is conjunct the profected 5th house cusp.

3. The directed 12th (in Taurus in the radix, on the profected 5th) is conjunct Mercury, ruler of the profected 9th while being in a mitigated semi-sextile (conjunct) with Mars in and ruling the profected 4th (home, end of matters).

The above indicates a romantic (5th) legal (9th) marriage (7th, lot). The couple initially had a civil court marriage but Virginia's family, on finding out, insisted on another church wedding which took place on December 23rd.

The marriage did not last, the two divorced on February 1, 1940. this is possibly being shown by the activation of (angularity of) the cardinal signs, the lack of aspects involving the radix 7th (ruled by Jupiter) and the strong influence of nebulous Neptune (illusion).

October 4, 1938 “War of the Worlds” broadcast
On October 4, 1938, at 8pm, Welles began his War of the World broadcast, a fictional story about the Earth being invaded by aliens and “By the next morning, the 23-year-old Welles’s face and name were on the front pages of newspapers coast-to-coast, along with headlines about the mass panic his CBS broadcast had allegedly inspired.” (Smithsonian Magazine, Brad Schwartz, May 6, 2015) The profection was in the 12th whole sign, Taurus with the profected Asc 24 TA 20 and Venus as Lord of the Year.

1. No elements are critical.

2. The directed 12th (profected 1st) is in a mitigated semi-sextile (conjunct) the directed Venus (LoY), while conjunct directed Mercury (speech) which is also in a mitigated semi-sextile (conjunct) with directed Venus. The 12th is also square the lot of Marriage; an indication that personal (1st) communications (Mercury) will be prominent during the period and that there may be marriage problems.

3. Directed Saturn, ruler of the profected 9th (public expression) and 10th (career) is changing degrees and is in a mitigated sextile (trine) with the directed 3rd of communications, literary works while the directed 3rd is inconjunct the directed lot of Rumours (also changing degrees) which is in a mitigated square (doubled) with the radix Sun (honor); emphasizing the 12th house indications. [The use of the lot of Rumours here is definitely a case of hindsight being 20/20 unless rumours had been swirling around him at the time.]

4. Directed Jupiter, ruler of the radix 7th, is trine directed Neptune (who is changing degrees) and square the radix lot of Marriage; another indication of possible marriage problems. Welles wife was pregnant during this period and he was having affairs (Neptune?) with Dolores del Rio and Geraldine Fitzgerald around this time.

5. The directed Sun (radix Sun is in the profected 12th) square directed Uranus (radix Uranus is in the profected 9th) certainly brought on a sudden, unexpected (Uranus) surge of unfavourable (square, 12th) publicity (9th, Sun) directed at Welles personally.

Welles daughter, whom he named Christopher Marlowe, was born on March 27, 1938 when he was 22 years old. The profection was in the 11th whole sign, Aries; the profected Asc is at 24 AR 20 and the Lord of the Year is Mars. Mars (LoY) is in the 12th of confinement, hospitals, sorrows with Venus, ruler of the radix 5th of children.

2. The Sun, ruler of the profected 5th (children) is changing degree while conjunct the radix lot of Marriage of Men and the directed Sun is sextile Uranus with the Moon (wife) in the profected 10th.

3. Mercury (the general significator of children) is changing degree while directed Mercury is in a mitigated semi-sextile (conjunction) with Venus (ruler of the radix 5th) and conjunct radix Venus while directed Venus is in a mitigated semi-sextile (conjunction) with its radix self.

On February 26, 1942 Welles won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Citizen Kane; both the Best Picture and Best Director awards went to John Ford for How Green was my Valley. Welles was 26 years old, the profection was in the 3rd whole sign, Leo, which contains the 3rd house cusp (writing) at 4 Leo. The directed Moon (publicity) and Mercury (writing) are aspecting the radix 3rd so sharing rulership with the Sun (honours) as Lords of the Year. The Sun (honours) and Mercury (writing) are in the 10th of honours (he and Herman Mankeiwicz won for Best Original Screenplay) while the Moon (publicity) is conjunct Uranus (upset) in the 7th (opponents) and Saturn, ruler of the 7th of opponents is in the 11th, harming Welles dream of winning for Best Picture and Best Director which he was also nominated for.

Pluto is with Saturn in the profected 11th and the Sun is sextile Saturn.

2. The directed lot of Success is changing degrees while being conjunct the Sun (honours) and sextile the radix 2nd (movable possessions).

3. The directed 11th is inconjunct (averse) to Neptune (movies) while directed Jupiter, ruler of the profected 5th of entertainment is trine Neptune. The 11th is in Aries which is on the profected 9th (publicity, dreams). All his hopes (11th) for his movies (Neptune, 5th) were not realized (aversion) but some were (Jupiter trine).

On September 7, 1943 Welles married Rita Hayworth, he was 28 years old, the profection was in the 5th whole sign, Libra, which contains the cusp of the 5th house at 0 Libra. The cusp is in the square of radix Pluto and the partile trine of directed Uranus putting the profected Asc at 0 Libra rather than in the Ascendant's degree and giving the main rulership duties for the year to Uranus and Pluto rather than Venus. Uranus, acting as Lord of the Year, is in the 5th of romance. Pluto, also with Lord of the Year duties, is in the 10th of honours, career and Venus, the usurped Lord of the Year is in the 7th of marriage with Mars, ruler of the profected 7th.

1. The MC (actions) is critical and in a mitigated inconjunct (opposition) to directed Saturn in the profected 9th (law, religion). Saturn is a 1st house planet and the 9th is often active when a legal or religiously sanctioned marriage takes place.

2. Uranus is critical and in a mitigated square (doubled) with radix Pluto in the radix 1st, profected 10th while radix Uranus is in the profected 5th (romance) with the Moon (women); an indication of a magnetic attraction or explosive romance.

3. The directed 3rd is changing degree. It's in Leo in the radix which falls on the profected 11th (hopes) while directed Venus (woman) is inconjunct the radix 3rd.

4. The North Node is changing degrees indicating a critical event in the life. Directed Jupiter, ruler of the radix 7th (marriage) is conjunct the radix North Node while directed Neptune (glamour) is trine the radix North Node and the two directed planets are trine each other, and, at the same time the directed Ascendant is in a mitigated square (doubled) with directed Jupiter (marriage) and semi-sextile directed Neptune (glamour).

5. Directed Mars is in, and rules, the profected 7th (marriage) while with Venus (woman) and being sextile the direct lot of Marriage.

The marriage was a very public, civic affair that took place during Rita Hayworth's lunch break (Saturn's influence?). It received a lot of press attention (3rd) and was dubbed the marriage of the “Beauty and the Brain”. That the marriage would not last can be deduced from the opposition, inconjuncts, and squares; they divorced on November 10, 1947.

On December 17, 1944 Welles and Rita Hayworth had a daughter, Rebecca. Welles was 29 years old, the profection was in the 6th whole sign of Scorpio with the profected Ascendant at 24 Scorpio and Mars as Lord of the Year. Mars, Lord of the Year, is in the 5th of children with Venus (daughters).

2. Uranus is critical while directed Uranus is in a mitigated inconjunct (opposition) to radix Saturn which rules the profected 4th (home, fatherhood?). Directed Uranus is trine the radix lot of Children in Men's Charts while the directed North Node is square the directed lot of Children in Men's Chart, trine the radix Sun (fatherhood?) and square the lot of Marriage possibly marking an unexpected (Uranus) critical or turning point (Node) in his life and marriage.

3. No elements are changing degree. The directed 12th is sextile the directed Moon (wife, women); the radix 12th is in Taurus which is on the profected 7th (marriage) while the directed Ascendant is in a mitigated square (doubled) with directed Jupiter (marriage, children) who rules the radix 7th and the profected 5th. The directed 2nd is conjunct the lot of Marriage. The radix 2nd is in Cancer which is on the profected 9th (not clear how this fits in, possible money or legal problems?)

On May 9, 1955 Welles married Paola Mori, he was 40 years old. The profection was in the 5th whole sign, Libra. Radix Pluto at 0 Cancer is partile square the cusp of the 5th which is at 0 Libra, putting the profected Asc at 0 Libra and giving Pluto a share of the year with Venus. Venus, Lord of the Year is in the 7th with Mars, ruler of the profected 7th (marriage); Pluto, sharing rulership with Venus is on the cusp of the 10th (actions).

1. No directed elements are critical. No directed elements are changing degrees.

2. The directed 11th (the radix 11th is in Aries which is on the profected 7th of marriage) is in a mitigated square (doubled in strength) with directed Saturn (ruler of the profected 4th and radix 10th of the wife's family) in the profected 9th (courts) and directed Mercury, ruler of the profected 9th, is sextile the radix Sun (reputation) and trine the radix lot of Marriage, indicating a legal marriage. Apparently the pair had a torrid affair and Paolo's family, who were Italian aristocrats (Paolo was the Countessa de Gerfalco), insisted (Pluto) they marry.

3. The directed 2nd (radix 2nd is in Cancer which is on the profected 10th and holds Pluto (coercion) who is sharing rulership in the year) is conjunct the directed lot of Marriage while the directed MC (actions) is in a mitigated semi-sextile (conjunct) the Moon (woman).

4. The directed lot of Marriage is on the cusp of the profected 7th while directed Venus, Lord of the Year is in a mitigated square (doubled in strength) with directed Pluto (coercion) who co-rules the year and is on the cusp of the profected 10th (action). Venus is also involved in a mitigated semi-sextile (conjunct) Uranus who is with the Moon in the profected 5th (romance) with directed Uranus being trine directed Pluto while directed Neptune (glamour, illusion) is sextile radix Venus.

The pair remained married until Welles death but for almost 20 years he led two lives when, in 1966, he began an affair with another actress, Oja Kodar and split his time between two homes, one with Paola Mori in LA and the other with Oja in Hollywood.

On November 13 Welles daughter Beatrice was born; the profection is the same as the previous event, in the 5th with 0 Libra on the profected Asc and Venus sharing with Pluto. The Age Arc is 40º 32' Dir->Dir

1. No directed elements are critical.

2. The directed 12th (secrets) is changing degree (the radix 12th is in Taurus which is on the profected 8th) and involved in a mitigated semi-sextile (conjunct) Mars in the profected 7th of marriage and semi-sextile Uranus in the profected 5th (children) which is with the Moon (wife) while the directed MC is conjunct directed Uranus with both conjunct the radix Moon (wife) and the directed Moon is sextile the lot of Marriage Contracts. Directed Saturn (while radix Saturn is in the 9th of religion, law) is conjunct the radix 12th.

These aspects were all active at the time Welles married Mori but I did not examine them in detail; in retrospect, they appear to indicate the reason Mori's family pushed for a marriage, there was a “secret” (12th) that is now revealed (Uranus), she was pregnant. Note that Uranus was not conjunct the MC at the time of the wedding although it was trine directed Pluto; Pluto is critical in the profected 10th (wife's 4th – dictatorial father) so it's likely the family knew. Directed Mercury (ruler of the profected 9th), which has now moved to trine the radix lot of Daughters, supports knowledge of the pregnancy being a motivating force for the marriage.

On October 10, 1985 Welles died of a heart attack; he was 70 years old, the profection was in the 11th whole sign which holds the cusp of the 11th house at 0 Aries; as the directed Sun was sextile the cusp and radix Pluto is square the cusp, the profected Asc is in 0 Aries and the Sun and Pluto share Lord of they Year duties. Pluto is on the cusp of the 4th (end of life) while the Sun is in the 2nd with Mercury in opposition to the 8th. Mars, ruler of the 8th is in the 1st.

Chart Overview
Welles has 7 planets above the horizon, an indication the majority of his activities will receive full public recognition. He has 8 planets in the Eastern hemisphere, an indication he actively works to shape his environment to fit his needs.

The planets are well balanced in all four elements with 3 each in Air and Water and 2 each in Fire and Air. The qualities are also all represented with 5 planets in the cardinal signs, 4 in the fixed and 2 in the mutable so he can be very active, passionate about new projects and has the determination and attention span to carry them out but with only two planets in mutable signs he may have some difficulty adapting his aims to changing circumstances; determinedly charging ahead when a re-assessment and modified attack might be needed.

With 4 planets in the life houses (1-5-9) most of his energy is directed toward good living. However, with 2 planets each in the Wealth (2-6-10), Association (3-7-11), and Psychic (4-8-12) houses he applies his energies to all areas of his life. With 5 planets each in the Personal houses (12-1-2-3) and the Public houses (8-9-10-11) his energies are focused on bringing his personal concerns to the public's attention. There are no planets in the Companionship houses meaning little to none of his energy is lost in contacts with other people; their concerns are not his and he spends little to no time on them.

The bulk of his planets (7) are in 1st degree signs (Aries thru Cancer) indicating he is strongly motivated to act primarily according to his own feelings, ideas and inner desires which he expresses freely although with 3 planets in the 3rd degree signs (Sagittarius thru Pisces) in the 9th and 10th he is more reserved when expressing himself to the media (9th) and those in authority (10th), taking their possible reactions to his real inner feelings and ideas into account.

Marriage
Jupiter in Pisces in the 10th ruling the 7th in Sagittarius, two mutable signs, indicate he may have multiple marriages, all to warm, generous women (Jupiter) who were strongly connected to his career (10th). Difficulties with his wives families and an element of coercion is indicated by Saturn and Pluto in the 1st in opposition to the 7th. It is interesting that both the signs are dual-bodied and that he maintained two relations at the end of his life; one legal, the other, back-door.

Finances
The most elevated planets in Welles chart are the Moon and Uranus in the 9th; he was largely known for his highly individualistic (Uranus) ideas (9th) which were first recognized when he was quite young; his mother (Moon) believed he was a “boy genius” and he appears to have been treated as a child prodigy by some of his teachers.

That his income would likely depend on his oratory and writing (9th) is shown by the Moon ruling the 2nd (money). That movies and schemes would play a part is shown by Neptune in the 2nd. Welles, in the second half of life, was plagued by the IRS, who were chasing him for several hundred thousands of dollars. The problems can be seen by the Moon being in the 8th (taxes) from the 2nd and with Saturn (ruler of the radix 8th) in the 1st; they dogged him.

Triplicity Rulers

Welles career (10th) and personal life (1st) are closely tied with Saturn, ruler of the 10th, critical in the 1st conjunct (5º 05') the Ascendant averse to Mercury (L1) in the 12th. Air signs are on the 1st and 10th which gives the Asc and MC the same triplicity rulers: Saturn, Mercury, and Jupiter. Saturn is the 1st (diurnal) triplicity ruler and so rules the first half of life. He is angular, so powerful, in his own triplicity and so supported by friends, associates, conjunct the Asc and in an applying trine with the MC and applying square with Jupiter; Welles did have career success early in life.

The second triplicity ruler is Mercury (L1) who is burnt and debilitated in the 12th and involved in an applying sextile to Jupiter in the 10th. Jupiter is in Pisces, Mercury's detriment and so he's rejected; the studio bosses (10th is authorities) took control of Welles work in the later half of his career and blocked his efforts to have it presented to the public as he meant it to be shown; opportunities (sextile) led to disappointment (12th).

12th Parts

The 12th part of the Asc is 16 Aries 20 which falls in the 11th house, a good place, and in the terms of Mercury, L1, so his life was largely in his own hands, concerned with the arts (with Venus) but not without strife, also being with Mars, or disappointment (Mercury in 12th and burnt).
The 12th part of the MC is at 8 Aquarius 07 which falls in the 9th house, also a good place, in Venus' terms, which connects his actions with artistic pursuits (Venus), in the 11th (hopes), entertainments (5th) and disappointment (12th), the places Venus rules.. The 9th, being cadent, denies him control over how his efforts play out.

[I'm probably stretching things here but the house and term connections do seem to apply]

Birth Data is from Astrological Factor of Outstanding Lives Volume 1 by Elbert Benjamine. The time of birth was from a student “who got the data from her [Jane Addams] personally”.

“Jane Addams was a social worker, reformer and humanitarian who founded the Chicago Social Welfare center known as Hull House.” Her parents were Quakers; her father was a successful farmer, banker, Senator, and friend of Abraham Lincoln. Jane was their 8th child.

Her biography, chronology, papers are available online at the Jane Addams Paper Project
