Terry Richardson – talented but an emotional maelstrom

 

 

The fashion business have belatedly started to take action against the photographer Terry Richardson over allegations of sexual abuse of models, some very young, which appears to have been an open secret for years. Naturally he denies everything though his personal website evidently contains hardcore images.

Born 14 August 1965 in New York (two weeks after JK Rowling) he is a Leo Sun Mercury square filmic Neptune and on the focal point of a mini-Grand Trine to Mars in Libra trine Jupiter in Gemini – creative and confident to the point of exuberance. But what dominates his chart is Uranus Pluto (and Venus) in Virgo opposition Saturn (Moon) in Pisces squaring onto Jupiter – emotionally all over the place with a sex-addict Venus Saturn; an intense Venus Pluto; and if his Moon is mid Pisces then it is hugely muddled, conjunct Saturn opposition Uranus Pluto Venus and trine Neptune. His father was schizophrenic and a drug-addict and his mother had been an actress.

His accentuated Jupiter certainly brought him fame but its negative side is irresponsibility with all of Jupiter’s over-the-topness. JK Rowling has usefully channelled her Jupiter into a prolific output; and houses will make a difference as to how the energies play out.

Looking at the harmonics. Richardson’s can-be-dominating 5H is brutal and unpleasant linking together Mars Saturn Pluto. With Harvey Weinstein it is his obsessive 11H which ties the same planets together. The line between sex and aggression is always less defined than we imagine.
