Born with a silver spoon she definitely wasn’t. The story from former Hollywood megastar Demi Moore – Ghost, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal- in her memoir Inside Out is of a tormented childhood. She and her brother survived her parents’ chaotic and destructive lifestyle of drugs, alcohol and mental illness. From age 12 she continually rescued her mother from suicide attempts, learnt her mother’s partner was not her biological father, and at 15 was raped by a man who gave her mother money for drugs. She married at 17 which lasted four years, then married Bruce Willis with whom she had three children. That lasted a decade and she then married Ashton Kutcher which also collapsed. Her career went from high to low and she descended into drugs from which she extricated herself a few years back.
She was born 11 November 1962 2.16pm Roswell, New Mexico which puts her Scorpio Sun, Neptune, Venus and Mercury all in the intensely emotional, deeply buried 8th house square Mars in showy Leo. Her maternal grandfather had an alcohol problem as well and died drunk in a car crash – 8th house will point to the grandparental psychological ‘legacy’ which in her case was a heavy burden to bear. She also has a super-confident Jupiter in Pisces in her 12th opposition Uranus Pluto, which would be one of her saving graces – the ability to be happy in her own company with Jupiter in the 12th and the optimism from Jupiter Pluto and Uranus when life got on top of her. Her Taurus Moon opposes her Sun, Venus, Neptune, Mercury and squares onto Mars – describing a very complicated relationship with her mother, affection mixed in with anger, confusion and ambivalence.
What a life story and still here at 56 with clearly a good deal of bounce in her.
