If COMETS had horoscopes they would have the SUN conjunct URANUS. Uranus is the planet that pops most, that is unique, that enthralls, that comes and goes quickly.. Brittany Murphy was a COMET. On screen and off. Her looks while she was hitting it big were typical LEO RISING, which would give us a midnight birth. So that's the chart that I cast. And ...Her best days were blonde lion's mane days. Typical Leo look. LEO is comedy and she was that. Of all the Brittany's in the limelight, Murphy was the only one who could light up the screen with funny. So I threw the chart with LEO RISING!
So we get Sun as her ruler (Leo is ruled by SUN,) Suns are great things though they get murky when they're in a dark sign, SCORPIO AND in a cursed degree, SERPENTUS THE FIXED STAR is there. SUN is always the man, the husband, the dad, and one's rep and identity is tied up with SUNs. Dad's criminal Mafia 'made man' days selling drugs landed him in prison. SUN is conjunct URANUS AND MOON also, so her whole life is built around this mytho fable of strange, weird men and allegations surface that hubby is a con man too. A Script writer today is a euphenism for a lot of things and always puts people on pause when one has no job. They don't judge or attack a WRITER. Cuz it sounds SERIOUS.
HER MERCURY in SAG is just exactly trine a peppy MARS IN LEO, a lovely aspect. She glowed when she spoke so we see it there.
Her three SCORPIO planets sesquiquad link with JUPITER making her very lucky.
Her VENUS in very early SCORPIO is trine JUPITER in MOONCHILD which gives beauty and a great figure.
So what kills a 32 year old vibrant LEO mixed with SCORPIO sexiness with all of that going for her?? Any planets on the hyleg (vulnerable) part of chart. Her sun/ Uranus Moon all conjunct and all linked to JUPITER in MOONCHILD (sensible eating,) is a hyleg point. What was TRANSITING in our skies on it? THE WORST slamming celestial fist fullof malefics I've seen LINKED in a few yrs, Saturn/Pluto/Mars all linked, right on top of this girl Sunday nite. Exactly on her triple Scorpio and maybe additionall her rising point which I supposed was l7 degrees Leo with the THREE SCORPIO plantes linked to it for WHAMMY FACTOR. From pictures I see she was not utilizing her JUPITER IN CANCER dietary protection card. She had dieted or used a Tummy band to not eat and was emaciated, Buchenvald thin. Courtney Love thin.
She was struggling to be beautiful and have a career and those are the feelings of 'lack' that one must have when one attracts death so young. Hopelessness. That's when death looks like a good rescue. Marriage failing, married the wrong man, too much a liar or posturer from the dark side like Daddy. (Sun's light is dimiished in water sign Scorpio. a dark moodiness comes, think Richard Burton, Alain Delon, Demi Moore) She was in the Career dumps, not only spindly limbs, but no vitality and on top of it the rep as the current bad plastic surgery poster girl, a public laughing stock. Great actresses often fall for bad surgery. They start off beautiful girls end up Wierd Science. They do it all the time in the urge to surpass the young ones. She had so much else going. This was a great cinema character, almost a Judy Holiday.. (Original Born Yesterday, Melanie did remake,) Now I have to re-screen all those films that she did. Take one last drink of this pixie from Italy, from the Mafia, from Atlanta. From the sign SCORPIO. And weep. Another great one saw too many doctors. I hate when that happens.
