Peter Stringfellow, known as the King of Clubs and remembered for his flamboyant style, affability, charm, lack of pretension and ability to attract top celebrities to his venues, has died. The nearest thing to a Brit Hugh Hefner he opened first topless table-dancing club in London, which had a reputation for debauchery, with Stringfellow presiding in his leopard-skin suits, gold medallions and pink shoes. His third wife, a Royal Ballet dancer, 42 years his junior gave him two children in his 70s.
Born to a steelworker father on 17th October 1940 9.45am (astrotheme), he worked in a meat factory before promoting his first rock’n’roll concerts in Sheffield, which kicked off with the Beatles, then Fleetwood Mac, the Rolling Stones and the Kinks.
He had an unaspected Libra Sun, which would make him sociable but also an independent spirit; with a tactile, indulgent, earthy, stubborn collection of Moon conjunct Saturn Jupiter in Taurus square Pluto, and an inspirational Uranus in Taurus trine Neptune. His Moon, Saturn, Jupiter was trine a 10th house Venus in Virgo so going into a business that depended on physical female beauty and good PR makes sense. His Moon is the most heavily aspected of his planets along with lucky and expansive Jupiter and good-with-money Saturn – he loved women and fun.
It’s a much pleasanter chart than Hefner who was heavily controlling with a 10th house Pluto square his Sun, trine his Moon and inconjunct his Mars. HH also had a strongly aspected Saturn in another fixed sign Scorpio.
Amazing the difference a few days makes, he almost had Cliff Richard’s chart 🙂
Haha! That’s worrying
Thank you Marjorie. Despite his un-PC profession, I always rather warmed to him and now I see his chart, realise I have many of the same signs and aspects (Saturn/Jupiter – mine in Capricorn – trine Virgo Venus plus a Scorpio Mercury) as well as being a Libra sun (mine is a singleton). People naturally mocked him when he married his much younger wife, but the relationship lasted and I suspect he genuinely liked women. Interesting juxtaposition with Hefner’s chart, who I always found creepy, coercive and rather repulsive.
