Ive seen more sun women playing the manic pixie dream girl than moon women.
Literally EVERY character Zooey Deschanel plays is a MPDG. People always joke its her typecast/niche. Shes got Uttara Ashadha sun, Uttara ashadha moon, uttara ashadha ascendant, uttara ashadha mercury and her sun and mercury are in the 1st. It’s her ONLY role type.
Shes got dozens of acting credits since the 90s and literally every single one of them is some variant of the MPDG!
I dont know what natalie portman’s real birth time is but the current one has her as purva phalguni moon. I think she has uttara phalguni moon conjunct jupiter in uttara phalguni. She also plays that colorful, independent and hard to reach woman in all of her movies.
Looking at a list of women who have been considered as MPDG at some point:
Kate Winslet — Sun in 1st
Kirsten Dunst — Sun in 10th
Nicki Minaj — Uttara Phalguni moon, Uttara Ashadha ASC
Keira Knightley — Krittika moon
Kareena Kapoor — Uttara Phalguni sun
Kate Winslet — Sun in 1st
Kirsten Dunst — Sun in 10th
Nicki Minaj — Uttara Phalguni moon, Uttara Ashadha ASC
Keira Knightley — Krittika moon
Kareena Kapoor — Uttara Phalguni sun
I see some moon women popping up too but most of the articles people write on the MPDG put the Sun women up front and center as “the ones who started this annoying trend”. They said stuff like Keira, Natalie, and Zooey were the ones who unintentionally started this lol
Another thing that seems to overlay with Sun dominant women and the MPDG; the way men are always in the comments section going like “wow shes exactly what i want in a wife!” Or “shes my ideal wife type”.
I noticed men really like being with solar dominated women bc they are usually the only women who understand their masculine energy without trying to place it into a role of feminine vs masculine the way moon, saturn, venus, and mars women do.
Jupiter and mercury women also understand men very well but unlike sun women jupiter and mercury tend to like to “put men in their place” and station themselves as the masculine energy of the relationship.
Men like how Sun women are just kinda...vibing. Vibing with the craziness of life and societal standards and not really letting it get to them and their fun and explorations. And not caring for either masculine or feminine categorization in a relationship.
Sun women are just a little Sun minding their business while unconsciously keeping a man warm and reassured and men are of course weirdly obsessed with this idea. They ALWAYS write women like this.
