Ctherine first met her future husdband when she was just 10 years old,and found him ''disgusting'' , ''childish'' and dislike his love twords alcohol at such young age.

Her mother is described as cold,manipulative,abusive woman who enjoyed court gossip. Empress Elizabeth banned her from Russia,and even though she disliked Catherines mother she loved Catherine,because has shown great interest in Russia,its people,traditions and language (something not even her future husdband,the succesor to the throne of Russia was not fond of)

Before formal bethrothal to her future husdband, Catherine decided to convert to Ortodox faith ,her father disliked it,but she didnt care,she wanted to be seen as Russian,and being Ortodox Christian was part of Russian identity . She changed her name from Sophie Friederike Auguste von Anhalt-Zerbst-Dornburg to Russian name Yekaterina Alexeyevna.

She and her husdband both had lovers on the sids,she had quite a number of them .

She is speculated to be the one that has assasinated her husdband - either way,no one liked him so no one really cared, they had a queen that made country huge,that respected and loved it , better than week king who has no respect and gets none in return.

Here is her natal chart http://www.astrotheme.com/astrology/Catherine_the_Great

I might expect to see something like Saturn/Sun conjunct MC in Taurus, for sensuality as well as drive;

Perhaps a full-ish H9 as well?

She also tried to be magnanimous whenever possible, from what I have read...until she felt that she had to be harsher with her rule. Jupiter in Cancer would indicate compassion, I think.

Mark Johnson quotes the biography, "Memoirs" (edited by Anthony, London Knoppf 1927) "in the morning at half past two o'clock." (April 21 OS).
(An LAT correction is minus 3'21" but Martin Harvey in Nativitas shows a map for 2:30 AM LMT).
Sy Scholfield quotes Katharine Susan Anthony (translator & editor)'s book, "Memoirs of Catherine the Great" (Tudor, 1935), p. 71: "Prince Christian August writes from Stettin to the reigning Prince at Zerbst, May 2, 1729, that 'this morning at half past two o'clock' his wife was delivered of a Princess-daughter, and that she is to be baptized the 'day after tomorrow.'"

Wikipedia gives her date of death as 17 November 1796.

Chartwise, one of the most interesting things is that Moon was 27N30, not only conjunct, but closely parallel Venus 27N32. This close aspect had a strong affect on her personality, charm, and even physical characteristics.

While I also am somewhat skeptical about Aquarius rising for her, there is a chance in my view that the correct Asc is found a within a few degrees (previous) to the one indicated, which would put the Asc Contra-parallel Pluto [12N49] and square Uranus, or a bit further back so to create a tight Contra-parallel to Mars. With strong fixity, I normally expect to see it more evident in pictures which instead show an almond-shaped tapering face more indicative of Cap or Sag (or cardinal/mutable factors). So it is more likely she was a Cap riser.
