Gerard Depardieu, France’s favourite maverick actor, has been accused of rape and sexual assault by a young actress, which he denies vehemently. The investigation is only at the preliminary stages and could be dropped.
He’s a hugely prolific actor with more than 180 films under his considerable belt, now blooming at 21 stone, despite a quintuple heart bypass some years ago. After which he stalwartly refused to give up drinking and eating.
Born 27 December 1948 8am Chateauroux, France, he grew up in poverty and ended up as a petty criminal doing prison time for car theft, before starting his acting career in his mid 20s. Some years ago he became a Belgian resident because of high French taxes; and Vladimir Putin with whom he shares a close bond gave him Russian citizenship. He still owns his French vineyard and acts in France.
He has an ambitious and lucky Sun, Jupiter, Mercury in Capricorn in his 1st house so he’s a larger than life personality; he has Mars in money-oriented Capricorn in his 2nd; an emotionally intense Scorpio Moon; an influential Pluto in the 8th; and an unsettled Uranus in his 7th house of one-to-one partnerships. His Sun, Jupiter, Mercury sits on the midheaven through Russia so he clearly feels appreciated there. And his relationship chart with Putin has a close, friendly composite Sun Venus conjunction square Pluto.
He’s heading into a less successful phase with tr Saturn moving below his Sagittarius Ascendant for several years; and tr Saturn will conjunct his Sun and Jupiter through this autumn for a discouraging phase.
Tr Pluto is about to move into his 2nd house and conjunct his Mars in 2019/2020 which may well be financial angst and he’ll certainly feel trapped. But his health is bound to give out at some point and with his Progressed Moon about to move through his 6th the warning signs may well be coming up.
