Eddie Murphy has been graced with a biopic covering his extraordinary career from unlikely beginnings to become a teenage comedian through to a blockbuster movie star. Acting, stand-up and singing are all in his repertoire.
He was born 3 April 1961 1.30pm (unverified) New York, with his parents splitting when he was three, his policeman father murdered when he was 8 and he spent a year in foster care when his single mother became ill which is where he said he learned to crack jokes
He has an Aries Sun and Venus (like Goya and Raphael) trine a rebellious and individualistic Uranus in Leo in his 1st. His Sun is in a high-vitality and argumentative square to Mars. His Pluto in Virgo conjunct North Node are trine his Midheaven giving him drive to succeed. What stands out as a motivating factor in his life is a 4th house Neptune Moon conjunction in Scorpio in a creative, self-protective Water Grand Trine to an 8th house Mercury in Pisces trine Mars in Cancer. His Neptune in the 4th house of childhood and father is square his Mars/Pluto midpoint describing his early experiences. His Pluto North Node opposition Sun/Saturn and square his Venus/Mars will also have given him a tough streak as well as an over-energised romantic life – with (I think) ten children from five different women.
Reviews describe the biopic as “reverential” but for all his missteps he has had a memorable career of nearly 50 years. To name but a few – Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, and Trading Places, The Nutty Professor, the Shrek franchise to Dreamgirls.
He has natal Mercury/Pisces in the 8th house. He started “cracking jokes” when his mom became ill. Interesting because of Mercury, the joker, the trickster in the house of loss and in Pisces/archetype of loss.
What strikes me is his youthful appearance? Is there any indicator in the chart? He’ll be seventy in les than 3 years.
I noticed that with Chris Rock! Born !967.
Is it a comedian thing?
Do they have a painting in the attic getting older by the day?
It might be the Venus in Aries which gives a youthful appearance/demeanor.
Venus in Aries also loves the chase and finds it hard to settle down with one person.
I would say that for Gemini Venus.
As for Venus/Saturn aspect – first thought is a classic beauty or a sculpture.
I just discovered another one who looks decades younger – Don Johnson, born 1949!
Sag, that helps. But Scorpio Moon no. Aqua Venus and Jupiter 150 Virgo Saturn and Mars.
He has a Venus Saturn square. Venus-Saturn connections have the “fine wine effect” where you continue to look attractive and venusian as you age.
I was frequently taken for a younger person when I was in hospital recently. And it happens in chemists too, when I have to tell them I’m entitled to free prescriptions. Virgo rising, Venus in Virgo trine Saturn in Capricorn.
Virgo rising Venus will open many doors
Usually impeccably dressed and with Venus – nice manners an usually beautiful.
I have Venus (Aries) square Saturn (Libra), was carded for alcohol and cigarettes up to the age of 45.
In Greek mythology, Thalia “the joyous, the flourishing”, from Ancient Greek; “to flourish, to be verdant”, also, was one of the Muses, the goddess who presided over comedy and idyllic poetry. In this context her name means “flourishing”, because the praises in her songs flourish through time.
Eddie Murphy’s Thalia, is in his 5th House of entertainment, trine his MC of career,
and square his natal Sun, ruler of his Leo Ascendant.
