Actor Charlie Sheen has launched an image rebrand with a memoir and a Netflix documentary with all the exuberance he used to devote to drugs, drink and tumultuous relationships. He says it is not an apology tour though his father Martin Sheen evidently wishes he would own up to his mistakes and “grow up and get serious for once in his life.”
His early career was award-strewn with numerous hits to his credit including Platoon (1986), Wall Street (1987), Young Guns (1988), Major League (1989), The Arrival (1996). In the 2000s, he replaced Michael J. Fox as the star of ABC’s Spin City and by 2010, was the highest-paid actor on television, earning US $1.8 million per episode of Two and a Half Men. But was eventually fired over drug issues.
He has been married three times, had innumerable relationships and liaisons with hookers; has five children and one grandchild. He was diagnosed with HIV in 2011 and in his autobiography The Book of Sheen he revealed he has had in the past sexual encounters with several men, as well.
He was born 3 September 1965 10.48 pm New York, and is part of the rebellious, chaotic Uranus Pluto in Virgo generation with his Virgo Sun close by opposition Saturn in Pisces and square a Gemini North Node. His emphasised North Node in negative mode can be irresponsible, scattered, has a ’bull in a china shop’ approach and difficulty understanding why others don’t see his point of view. His fiery Sagittarius Moon opposes Jupiter pointing to an indulgent mother. His Venus in sociable Libra in his performing and party-loving 5th house is unaspected which would tend to make him obsessive, single minded and overly self-contained. Plus Mars Neptune conjunct in Scorpio in his 6th house which could point to drug (Neptune) and other health issues.
His father Martin Sheen, 3 August 1940 8.03pm Dayton, Ohio, – Apocalypse Now, The West Wing, is a very different temperament having seven planets in Fixed signs as opposed to Charlie’s six in Mutable signs. Father is steady and stubborn where son is excitable, highly-strung and uber-restless.
Martin Sheen has a flamboyant New Moon in Leo conjunct Mars with Pluto also in Leo though mainly in the 6th house which would calm the Leonine showiness a touch; and Jupiter Saturn and Uranus in Taurus.
His relationship chart chart with Charlie has a controlling composite Sun, Venus, Pluto conjunction and an erratic, high-tension, anxiety-provoking composite Saturn opposition Neptune Moon square Uranus – a tricky combination of closeness and rebellious acting out. The composite Mars is catching the approaching Virgo Solar Eclipse which hints at an argumentative mood between them for a few months ahead.
Charlie’s chart does indicate a new cycle beginning with tr Uranus crossing his Ascendant as he steps out hoping to put a new slant on his image. But he will have to look after his health with his Solar Arc Uranus Pluto opposition Saturn impacting on his 6th house Neptune over the next three or four years.
That chaotic energy must be exhausting. I just watched that documentary and was amazed at Charlie’s success despite his destructive lifestyle. He was fortunate in so many ways throughout life. Sobriety would help him finally enjoy it.
Uranus Pluto does have its upside but since it binds together Uranus’s drive for freedom at all costs and Pluto’s need to control and hold close there will always be a tendency to swing from one extreme to the other. At best Uranus Pluto is revolutionary, bringing about much needed change but it can only do this by collapsing old structures which can end up in chaos and anarchy unless there is a balancing factor. A great many advances were made in the medical field (Virgo) in the 1960s but there was also turmoil on the streets of the US, France and elsewhere and Mao’s destructive red revolution was under way.
Individuals with Uranus Pluto tend to be restless, impatient, scattered, impulsive, some keen to be on the leading edge and pushing to explore new possibilities.
As a member of the “rebellious, chaotic Uranus/Pluto generation” – early May 1963 – I’m really interested to know a bit more about this Marjorie as I’ve seen you refer to it a number of times. It often sounds negative, not so much the rebellious bit but certainly the chaotic! Not disagreeing just curious to know more – or pointed in a direction to discover more if you have time to comment.
