"While making Woman of the Year in September 1941, Tracy began what was to become a lifelong relationship with Katharine Hepburn. The actress became devoted to him, and their relationship lasted until his death 26 years later. Tracy never returned to live in the family home, although he visited regularly.

The MGM moguls were careful to protect their contract big stars from controversy,[209] and Tracy wished to conceal his relationship with Hepburn from his wife,[210] so it was hidden from the public. The couple did not live together until the final years of Tracy's life,[211] when they shared a cottage on George Cukor's estate in Beverly Hills.[206] In Hollywood, however, the intimate nature of the Tracy-Hepburn partnership was an open secret.[212] Angela Lansbury, who worked with the pair on State of the Union, later said: "We all knew, but nobody ever said anything. In those days it wasn't discussed."[206][213] Tracy was not someone to express his emotions,[214] but friend Betsy Drake believed he "was utterly dependent upon Hepburn."[215] Tracy's infidelity apparently continued, however,[216] and Tracy is reported to have had an affair with Gene Tierney during the making of Plymouth Adventure in 1952.[217]

I wonder what his synastry with his wife was like.. And the multi-composite of all three of them together.

He also has Juno square Venus. BML squares the nodes and Pluto as well.

Katherine has BML trine Juno. Venus squaring Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune (some rather widely, but it's a lot of inter-related aspects, so I'm counting these). For instance, her Jupiter-Neptune conjunction opposes her Mars, squares her Venus, semi-squares her Moon (maybe). Neptunian qualities take on grander proportions in such proximity to Jupiter, and they together make dynamic aspects to her personal planets of love & sexuality.

Louise has Juno sextile Venus, square Saturn..and Neptune conjunct Venus. Maybe that made her more accepting/forgiving of the whole thing?

Louise was also raising their retarded child pretty much single-handed, which is another way that strong Neptune was expressing itself, and probably why Tracy never pursued a divorce.

I wonder ... if that's my 12H VENUS resonating with that .... ?

Some folks ask about LILITH and BML, too. I'm a BML-SUN, my LILITH is 0º opposite my CHIRON, and his LILITH is conjunct his MARS on my SUN/PLUTO/BML -- opposite his MOON.
