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!

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.

Mel B's Baby's Birth Chart

Now that Dannielynn's daddy has been IDed, Hollywood's hottest paternity case is that of little Angel Iris Murphy Brown, baby daughter of Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown and -- so her mama alleges -- Eddie Murphy. Eddie has denied being the dad, and Mel now says she is suing to force a paternity test. {Full story; second item} Until she succeeds, the infant's astrological chart will have to serve as Exhibit A in the Case of Who Sperminated Scary Spice.

A.I.M.B. was reportedly born "just after midnight" on Tuesday, April 3, 2007, in Santa Monica, California. {Source} Hence, I have cast a birth chart for 12:01 AM PDT.
