Dannielynn's Moon, Anna Nicole's Death

Okay, okay, after all this talk about little Dannielynn Birkhead's birth chart, I have updated it with the 4:02 birth time. This does give her a Leo Ascendant, and a Moon-Uranus conjunction in Pisces in the 8th house, which, I completely agree with reader Regina, perfectly depicts mother Anna Nicole Smith: addiction, sudden and unexpected death, possible windfall inheritance with a lot of chaos/volatility surrounding it.

See Dannielynn Birkhead's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy)

Not unlike little Angel Iris Murphy Brown, Dannielynn has a Saturn-Neptune opposition that describes the confusion surrounding her father's identity. (Neptune in Aquarius opposing Saturn also describes the media attention her now-identified father, Larry Birkhead, is getting.) In Dannielynn's case, though, Saturn and Neptune are forming a T-square with Jupiter: The tug of war over paternity and custody is at odds with her needs for growth and development. She may feel stifled or hampered by a lack of attention and encouragement. (Here's an interesting analysis of Jupiter square Saturn that I could see being dead-on as a description of adult Dannielynn.)

With that Jupiter-Saturn-Neptune T-square, as well as her Sun, Mercury and Venus in self-critical Virgo in the 2nd house, I am a little concerned that Dannielynn will internalize the idea that people care about her only because she is worth money -- and start to identify her own self-worth with her uncertain fortune. Sun and Mercury conjunct the South Node in Virgo in the 2nd house could suggest that she becomes chronically self-doubting and neurotic about trusting people.

And the Sun's opposition to the Moon-Uranus conjunction in Pisces might foreshadow some erratic, self-medicating behavior not unlike her mother's. Chiron is conjunct the 7th house cusp from the 6th house, so self-destructive relationships could be one way she acts out or abuses her body.

With Jupiter in Scorpio in the 4th house, she certainly stands a chance of inheriting and living off her mother's estate -- but with the Saturn-Neptune T-square, it will be an uphill battle with some false turns.

I feel bad for Dannielynn having her identity shaped by such traumatic events (Sun opposite Moon-Uranus) and hope that Larry Birkhead proves to be a truly loving, supportive and loyal dad rather than a money and publicity hound. Saturn in the 1st shows her father will be an important formative influence, which could go either way. The comparison of their two charts will have to wait for another day, though... Stay tuned!

P.S. What was the original source on the 4:02 time again? Can't seem to find it online.... although at least TMZ in its infinite documentation has pinpointed the location. Jaia TMZ!

Is Eddie Murphy Mel B's Baby-Daddy?

Eddie Murphy was DNA-tested in Bev Hills Monday re: whether he is Scary Spice's baby-daddy, as was the baby girl in question, Angel Iris Murphy Brown. This reminded me to post a follow-up to my post on A.I.M.B.'s birth chart, analyzing her connections with Eddie's. As previously noted, Eddie and Mel B's baby daughter share a birthday, and the similarities between their horoscopes may shed some light on the question of paternity.

Serendipitously, TMZ just posted the infant's birth certificate, which shows a birth time of 00:11am (as reader Pluto noted that Us Weekly reported), so I have revised the birth chart to reflect this time. See Angel Iris Murphy Brown's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy; updated 6/12/07 with corrected birth time)

First of all, as with any two people who share a birthday, Eddie's and Angel's Suns are conjunct, in this case in Aries. See Eddie Murphy's birth chart (Astrotheme) This certainly indicates a certain core similarity to their personalities.

In this case, Eddie and Angel also have their Mercurys conjunct, in Pisces -- an aspect that is not common to all people with the same birthday. They have a similar way of thinking; with the mental connection in empathic Pisces, they may find that if and when they do establish a family relationship, they easily develop a deep, unspoken understanding -- even a sort of psychic bond.

In her natal chart, Angel Iris has Saturn, representing responsibility and the father principle, opposite delusionary Neptune and wounded Chiron. The lack of certainty regarding her paternity may bring A.I.M.B. a sense of rejection and hurt. Moreover, Eddie's natal Saturn at 28° Capricorn lies on Angel's Mars-Pluto midpoint; she may have a fair amount of anger toward him for the way he has failed to step up to the plate about being her dad. Despite -- or perhaps because of -- their similar personalities, Angel may lash out at Eddie or act out in defiance of his authority.

All that said, with her natal Saturn in Leo trine her powerful chart ruler, Jupiter in Sagittarius in the 1st house, suggests that her father (or, perhaps, his fame) may be a source of support and growth potential in Angel's life. Eddie has said that if the paternity test comes out positive, he will take responsibility for his daughter; perhaps it's yet possible for them to forge the genuine connection of kindred spirits that their Sun-Mercury conjunctions hint at. Their relationship may always be fraught with tension -- after all, this is two Aries butting heads we're talking about here -- but if they can get past the anger, they can touch each other's lives in a meaningful way.

Why Jessica Simpson Shouldn't Take John Mayer Back Again

Way back in March 2006, I speculated extensively on whom, astrologically speaking, then-newly-single Jessica Simpson should get into a relationship with, and came up with a pretty specific zone of the zodiac for her to use as her dating pool:

I like the idea of her dating someone with his Sun betweeen 16-23° Libra, which would square her Sun (challenging her, which I think Jess needs right now) but also trine her Moon/Venus, creating an easy emotional bond. {Full story}

Well, as we all now know, she took up with sensitive Libra singer-songwriter John Mayer, whose Sun is at -- I tell you, I don't make this stuff up, people -- 22° or 23° Libra, depending on his exact birth time. See John Mayer's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time) But their on-off relationship has been characterized by stereotypical Libran oscillation; it seems John is afflicted with the ambivalence about commitment that often befalls natives of this Sun sign, and keeps breaking up and making up with Jess. So, although my original prediction (or rather, recommendation) came to pass, it didn't exactly work out happily.

The irony is that a large part of my analysis of who Jess should date was predicated on the guess that Jess--whose birth time I did not then know -- had a Gemini Moon, which would vibe with an airy Libra. Instead, it turns out -- thanks to data graciously provided by the AstroTwins, to whom I am deeply indepted and most grateful for the scoop -- that Jessica's Moon is in watery Cancer. (Seriously, seeing her in the kitchen, I never would have guessed that. You can't win 'em all, people.) See Jessica Simpson's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy.com)

With her Sun, Moon and Mercury in Cancer, and Scorpio, also a water sign, on the Ascendant (conjunct her ex-husband Nick Lachey's Scorpio Sun, by the by), Jessica is very emotionally driven. Like John, she has a Sun-Mercury conjunction and therefore a tendency to be all up in her own head -- but where his Libra conjunction overthinks, her Cancer conjunction gets oversensitive. When they argue, she finds him cold and unemotional while he finds her hysterical.

Jessica's Venus in Gemini does vibe romantically with John's Sagittarius Moon, but ultimately the freewheeling wanderer spirit of that Sag Moon is unsatisfying and unavailable for her security-oriented Cancer Sun-Moon. As a homebody Cancer, Jessica may have grown tired of following her rocker beau on tour and longed to settle down again.

Further, John's Venus at 29° Virgo -- though it forms an out-of-sign conjunction with her Mars in Libra that could stir up passionate sparks -- has a sort of neurotic quality, a tendency to nitpick and criticize his partners (one wonders why Jessica changed her hair color and dress style while she was with him).

And while the square between their Suns may have enabled the couple to challenge each other, as I anticipated in my original post on Jess' hypothetical Libra hookup, the challenge was too great. With the Mercury square as well as the Sun square, their perspectives are at odds. These two always seemed like an awkward fit, and while they may have repeatedly broken up and made up, ultimately their horoscopes do not show the kind of synastry that would suggest a lasting long-term union.

So, what sign -- or which star -- do you think Jess should date next? I'd love to hear your comments!
