Johnny Depp has filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against his ex-wife Amber Heard over her domestic violence accusations which he claims were false and ‘were part of an elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity for Ms Heard and advance her career.’ The lawsuit goes on to say that the allegations made by Heard against Depp were refuted by ‘two separate responding police officers, a litany of neutral third-party witnesses, and 87 newly obtained surveillance camera videos’. Depp always denied the allegations and claimed that his ex-wife repeatedly violently attacked and severely injured him.
She received a divorce settlement of $7 million for the 15 month marriage of which she donated a portion to a children’s hospital and became a heroine of #metoo; he lost his Pirate of the Caribbeans contract. Her lawyer says she will not be silenced and that Johnny Depp is hellbent on self-destruction.
Only thought to add to the older post below is that her Sun is exactly conjunct his midheaven so she would have the ability to affect his status and career; while being drawn to the same. Such a placing can lead to competitiveness. Both are fairly volatile – he with Mars Uranus Pluto in Virgo and she with a stubborn and controlling Sun Taurus opposition Pluto, sextile/trine Mars in Capricorn.
He said, she said – always a quagmire. He’s not looking remotely upbeat in the next two years; while she’s fairly jangled. A lose lose scenario.

It was always an odd match with Depp on the rebound from Vanessa Paradis; and Heard so attached to her pet dogs she smuggled them into Australia. Plus his career is not flourishing with five commercial flops in a row.
He was born 9 June 1963 8.44am Owensboro, KY; and she 22 April 1986 Austin, TX. He’s a Gemini Sun with a Capricorn Moon and she’s a Taurus Sun with a Libra Moon – at that level it’s OK. But Her Mars is conjunct his Moon; her Uranus opposes his Sun and her Saturn is square his Pluto Mars Uranus – so an irritable, high-tension mix.
Their relationship chart does have an affectionate composite Sun Venus opposition Moon which is lovely; but also a chained-together-and-resenting-it Saturn square Pluto; and an argumentative Mercury opposition Mars.
They were married on 3 Feb 2015 in LA at the time of the Full Moon in Leo conjunct Jupiter opposition Sun, so on a wave of enthusiasm, but perhaps not entirely on the same wavelength. With an ethereal, illusionary/ delusionary Venus Neptune square Saturn.
He’s just lost his mother so the timing seems unfortunate. He’s got his Solar Arc Saturn square his Moon and conjunct his Jupiter – so in mourning and deflated. It’s all the more of a game-changer since his Jupiter is on the focal point of a Yod to Pluto sextile Neptune and will pull on all three planets – confused and uncertain vis a vis domestic/family issues and discouraged about money, his Pluto being 2nd house. There was no pre-nup and she’s evidently claiming spousal upkeep or somesuch. After 15 months? Whatever happened to feminist integrity?
He does have Saturn in his 7th so close relationships will always involve effort for him.
Addendum: There are accusations of assault and denials flying around with a temporary restraining order against Depp to keep him away from his about-to-be-ex-wife. But the judge ruled against her claim for spousal financial support and to have her legal fees paid.
She’s a Sun Taurus opposition Pluto, trine Mars Neptune in Capricorn; with Mercury in Aries square Mars Neptune. He’s got a Mars Pluto Uranus conjunction in Virgo with Pluto trine Moon. So both have anger and control issues. Her Sun is conjunct his MC and her Pluto is in his 4th – so she’d be attracted to his status but find that tensions and power struggles in his domestic life, partially stoked by her would cause problems.
He looks jammed up this year with tr Saturn square his Pluto in August and tr Neptune opposition his Pluto Oct to Jan 2017 – so pulling away at his influence. Plus the September Solar Eclipse will be conjunct his 2nd house Pluto so the financial ramifications may grate. But he’s got a bullish tr Pluto trine Sun/Jupiter to bounce him up this June and on and off till late 2017.
He does have tr Neptune moving into his 8th now and tr Pluto in his 6th – so health and his grasp on reality and practicalities may prove to be a problem ahead.
There’s no birth time for her, but if anything, she looks more downcast in the years ahead with a discouraging tr Saturn square her Jupiter exact at the moment and again in Oct; and bubble-bursting, financially disappointing tr Neptune conjunct her Jupiter from mid 2017. Losses also in 2017 from tr Uranus square her Jupiter/Saturn; and really stuck, aggravating Solar Arcs in the three years following.
That mars pluto conjunction is also conjuncting uranus (ruler of the VII ) so in the case of Amber Heard I think this aspect explains her. She has sun opposite pluto that can be manifested itself as brutal and abusive personality. And since the leakages of the tapes it is shown that Amber was an abusive one. Also, she has Neptun square mercury (1 degree), lying just comes naturally to her. I hope Johnny Deep will continue with his defamation lawsuit.
I think both should put down their weapons, meaning forgive each other.
That Mars/Uranus/Pluto conjunction of june/July 1963 if not channeled creatively can be so troublesome for the natives, carrying with it an immense quantity of rage and self-destructive behaviours. I understand that Depp has an explosive rage that has previously seen him destroying his hotel room, and you can see it in other volatile relationships he’s had, Kate Moss for example. It crops up in the charts of a number of successful artists such as George Michael – it’s risk-taking too, risking the lives of others as well as oneself. A very difficult energy to handle.
People magazine online also notes that the lawsuit states Amber Heard was having an affair with billionaire Elon Musk one month after her marriage to Depp, and that Elon continued to get with her at the Depp/Heard home throughout the marriage, including the day of the infamous fight that afterwards, Amber took pictures of her facial bruises. Interesting.
