Update: Eddie Murphy Is Indeed the Daddy

As a reader was recently kind and gracious enough to point out, a DNA test has corroborated what their horoscopes pointed to: Eddie Murphy is indeed the father of Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown's baby daughter, Angel Iris Murphy Brown. {Source} While I am just tickled that modern science has validated my astrological analysis, I must say I am concerned about Eddie's reaction to the news not being the heart-melting one I had hoped for.

Transiting Saturn, representing the father principle, responsibilities, and lessons learned, is currently conjunct Eddie's natal Uranus, representing shock and disruption. See Eddie Murphy's birth chart (Astrotheme) Transiting Neptune, the nebulous planet of delusion and illusion, presently opposes this conjunction, suggesting Eddie's self-delusion and willingness to pretend that the baby was not his responsibility -- and the need for a sudden reversal/reality check (Uranus/Saturn) with the revelation that, yep, she is.

Reinforcing the idea of the shock of this new information (which was of course a shock to no one but in-denial Eddie): At the time the paternity news broke, transiting Uranus was turning retrograde just shy of his Mercury in Neptune-ruled Pisces, suggesting the shock of the new information to someone who had pulled the wool over his own eyes.

The transiting Venus in Leo/Chiron in Aquarius opposition squares Eddie's natal Moon-Neptune conjunction in Scorpio (a placement that in itself suggests that self-delusion and suppression are Eddie's go-to way of dealing with his feelings), which augurs a blow to Eddie's pride and public image. If he does step up to start acting like a dad to Angel, I fear that it might -- at least at first -- be P.R.-staged play-acting to rehabilitate his image (not for the first time in his career). Sadly, it may take a long time for Eddie to actually recognize the connections and similarities between himself and his daughter.

Stay tuned for another, happier self-congratulatory post crowing about a correct prediction, in this case the joyous reunion of Prince William and Kate Middleton!
