The Tale of the Scorpio Moon Man Continues.. A Comparison Between Chaplin and Clapton

Eric Clapton Circa 1970

Charlie Chaplin

Before I explain some of the erie parallels between Eric Clapton and Charlie Chaplin, let me first explain some of the technical aspects of astrology that many people are not familiar with. Natal charts are constructed at birth and foretell the things that will come in a person’s lifetime. A person's chart is unique to them. You could refer to a natal chart as being a "life map." These two men’s charts have similar aspects (same sun- moon sign combo Aries Sun, Scorpio Moon) and  same house

placement for the sun/moon. 

Both men have first house afflicted moons and were abandoned by their mother’s. Charlie as a 6 year old, (his mother was institutionalized. Clapton was abandoned at birth by his father and his mother and was raised by his grandmother.  NOTE Chaplin's natal Chiron is 6 degrees. Both men were never raised by their biological father’s and both fathers were musicians that died from alcoholism. Clapton's father was a soldier from Montreal, Quebec serving in England for the military, where he met Eric's mother.  Clapton thought his grandparents were his parents and his biological mother was his sister, until he was 16.  I had the great pleasure of reading Eric. Clapton’s Biography and Pattie Boyd’s biography. This gave me great insight into their lives and timelines. I also read Charlie Chaplin’s autobiography as well. The parallels between their natal charts and life stories are uncanny, and happened decades apart. Their lives had eerie parallels,  correlating with their charts. See for yourself, keep reading

Like Chaplin, Clapton’s natal moon is also in Scorpio and in the first house. Both Chaplin and Clapton’s suns are in Aries, located in the 6th house.  Eric’s moon is opposing venus in the 7th house. Like Chaplin he has a moon (mother) and venus opposition between the 1st house (of self) and 7th house of (partnerships/marriage.  Both have natal venus RX. Both Chaplin and Clapton have T-Squares involving the 1st, 9th and 7 house involving the Moon and Venus. Charlie's T-square Involved Saturn in the 9th, whereas Clapton's 1-9-7 T -Square involved Pluto instead.  

• Eric has natal Venus retrograde in Taurus, the day that he lost Connor, he was experiencing a Venus return. Eric Clapton has an afflicted Venus, opposing the moon, and engaging in multiple squares and a T-Square. 
• Transiting Uranus and Neptune conjoined with Eric's natal 3rd house South node with a 1 degree orb between Uranus (the planet of surprise) . and the south node ( karma). The third house governs, early childhood, communication, siblings etc. 
• The transiting Gemini moon, was conjunct with Uranus in the 8th house of death. Connor's Natal Mars hit's Erics 3rd house South Node. Connor's Pisces moon and RX Jupiter, fell in Eric's (5th house children) Eric and Connor's composite charts were interesting to study. Connor's Pluto hits Eric Claptons 1st house moon in a tight orb. As we know Eric's natal moon, has heavy transit action with Pluto in a fixed T-Square involving Venus, Moon and Pluto. The Moon is a very important planet for Eric Clapton in particular as it is in his first house. The moon also symbolizes important areas of his life he has struggled with: His mother, women, and emotional issues with self.

Laury and Eric's Composite.

•   Laury has a Jupiter-Neptune Conjunction in her Natal chart, and it falls into Eric's 1st house, conjoining with his moon. The moon has to do with motherhood and karma, once again Neptune (deception) is involved with moon Karma (Affair/ having a child with another woman who is not you're wife). 
• Connor and Laury both had planets conjunct with Eric's Scorpio moon. Laury's north node, sits in Eric's 12th house close to his Libra Ascendant in the 12th house veil. (12th house secrets, karma).  Laury's Aries moon, is a couple degrees away from Eric's Sun. 5-9

Pattie at Connor's Funeral 1991.

Both men had serious issues with infidelity, and “mother issues.” In the end they both married women 30 years their junior while they were in their fifties. Both men had very publicized and unusual love affairs.  Their affairs inspired some of the greatest books and love songs  created in history : the novel “ Lolita” and the song “Layla.” The nature of Clapton's and  Chaplin's relationships, correspond with their retrograde Venus' and afflicted first house moons.

Heidi Fleiss: Part II Transits and Planet Cycles from Bankruptcy, Hospitalization, Halfway Houses and Prison.

  Because Heidi's intriguing natal chart is so well reflected in the timeline of her life, exploring her timeline and comparing it to her chart is extremely fascinating. For example, Saturn retrograde cycles happen to be particularly influential in her life and tend to come at the peaks of the most challenging and destructive times in her life. Similarly, Mars transits have been important in triggering the many catastrophic events that happened in her life. One example of her transits accurately reflecting her timeline was when Heidi was in prison and hospitalized three times for mental breakdowns. On these occasions Heidi's retrograde Uranus hit her natal Mars in a conjunction. Uranus retrograde cycles are also important triggers in Heidi’s timeline.

When Heidi’s home in Nevada burnt down, Uranus was retrograde again. Rx Jupiter was also separating from Heidi’s Chiron during that time.

On one of the occasions that she was hospitalized, the south node was conjunct to Chiron in Pisces. The transiting north node was conjunct to natal Uranus and Pluto, an important trigger for Heidi. Nodes amplify the planets they are conjoining with and their influences. In Heidi’s case the node amplified Chiron and Uranus. Chiron and Uranus are both in a T-Square. Heidi’s first house Chiron and Saturn are in opposition with Pluto and Uranus in the 7th (relationships.)

Another time Heidi was hospitalized while incarcerated was in February of 1997. A Large stellium in Aquarius was occurring and transiting through her 12 and 1st house, hitting natal mars, the ascendant, Lilith and Venus. Uranus had an exact conjunction to mars, on the day she was hospitalized again. Mercury, Jupiter and  Venus were conjoining to the mars in a couple degree proximity.  Transiting mars at this time was retrograde and in Libra and opposing the natal, and transiting moon and transiting Saturn.

Saturn also had an exact conjunction with natal  2nd house Aries moon at 4-4 degrees; the moon that day happened to be in Aries as well passing over her natal moon in conjunction. Pluto was also conjunct with Heidi’s 10th house south node with a 1 degree orb in between. Transiting north node in Virgo in the 8th house was not far from Mars at this time either, amplifying Mars and its aspects. (She was taken to the hospital between 12 -1 pm according to a source.)

 The third time Heidi was hospitalized  in prison was in 2001. Neptune was transiting through her natal 12th house (institutions, prisons, asylums, mental dysfunction etc) and was in an applying conjunction to 12th house Mars.

In 2001 Heidi spent a weekend in Jail for a DUI. Transiting Neptune conjoined with natal mars that day and Mercury was conjunction with 1st house Chiron. Saturn was also 2 degrees from her IO. Transiting Mars and Pluto were relatively close together at a five degree orb conjoining with her natal mercury (3 and 2 degree orb).

Heidi’s natal Mars was activitated by the transiting south node in Aquarius back in October of 1999; when the millionaires lost everything and filed for bankruptcy. Nodes are Karmic points, and nodal transits, sometimes are like finales or “the big bang events in people’s life. For Heidi her karma revolved around money, how interesting the south node hit her mars when she filed bankruptcy as the 12 house is a karma house. It is the house of endings, and its natural ruler is Neptune, a planet associated with deceit, illusion, addiction, drugs, prositution, and the laundering. The 12th house is the inner darker, realm of a persons’s mind and their being, it is also representation of a persons karma or secrets. Some astrologers, believe it is representational of a person's past life karma, and the transitional period between their death and the beginning of their life (birth=ascendant).  In Heidi’s lifetime money was her big motivation, filing for bankruptcy was the consequence of her karma (node hitting mars). Mars is a masculine planet and the natural ruler of Aries it is associated with lust and sex. Lust and sex is what Heidi profited off, something many are financially enslaved to as result of weaknesses and vices ( idealization, addiction and illusion and sexual fantasy)  (Mars meets the 12 house in this dynamic). On that very day the moon was in Pisces (Neptune’s natural ruler) and it conjoined with Saturn and Chiron opposing  7th ( Natal Uranus and Pluto) and transiting Venus.

When Heidi was released from prison and placed in a halfway house transiting Uranus conjoined with her asendant in the 12 th house veil and conjoined with her natal 12th house mars. Jupiter was in an exact conjunction with Chiron and transiting Mars in the 7th conjoined with Pluto and Uranus. Transiting Chiron and Sun were near Heidi’s midheaven and conjoined with Neptune. Venus also was conjunct with the south node.

Another transit and date to note was the day Heidi was convicted to go to prison. On that day Saturn was 12 degrees Aquarius and 1 degree away from her ascendant.

Heidi also escaped laundering charges in 1996. Interestingly enough retrgrade Venus worked in her favor that day. RX Venus was cojunct with Heidi’s natal RX Jupiter in the 5th house.

Heidi Fleiss: The Natal Chart Part 1

Heidi Fleiss became well known back in 1993 when her Prostitution ring was busted in California. Heidi made her first 2 million within her first two months working as a Madame. She officially became a Madame in her early twenties, and worked for Madame Alex for a short time, deciding she preferred to work for herself. Heidi herself was a prostitute for a short period of time, but preferred the role of Madame (her life long career). Fleiss is an authorative Cardinal Capricorn female with a cardinal Aries moon, and a fixed ascendant in (Aquarius). She likes being in charge and craves power and leadership. She get’s off on $$$$, this is reflected in her life choices and natal chart.  Heidi is also known as one of the patients featured on Celebrity Rehab, run by Dr. Drew.  Heidi’s Sun is in Capricorn, Moon in Aries and Aquarius Ascendant.  Her natal moon is in the second house of “the material” money, goods, possessions, values (money and personal). The sun squares the moon, (11-2nd house)  She is a product of divorced parents. Chiron is 18 degrees and Saturn  at 12 degrees in Pisces.  Saturn and Chiron are conjoined with a 5 degree orb in her 1st house. Her father, a pediatrician was very supportive of Heidi’s career and even helped her establish a cover business. Heidi had a stable of over a hundred  girls; the starting rate was 1,500 per night. Heidi would take 40 percent of each girl’s earnings. The first house is a difficult place   for Saturn and Chiron emotionally. Saturn in the first, can give a person a serious, mature side.  People with Saturn in the first typically are very hard on themselves and have self esteem and trust issues.  If one were to observe someone with Saturn in their 1st;  they may not see this side displayed in them at first glance.    People with natal 1st house Saturn are very good at hiding their insecurity with their armor of a private, distrusting front. In reality this “can” make them intimidating to other people because of the intentional/unintentional standoffish vibe they “can” put out to others.  ”Usually” with Saturn in the first one does   not have an easy childhood, and is burdened with adult responsibilities as a child, having to grow up fast.  I am not implying that everyone that has natal Saturn in the 1st fits this description, but I have found it to be pretty true.  Some other famous women with Saturn in the first house are Cher and Jackie O. The positive side of Saturn in the 1st is that, it gives a person a lot of strength and “can” create a lot of motivation and drive as well. (After all Heidi Fleiss was a millionaire by 22.) She clearly utilized the positive aspects of that Saturn placement, even if it was through a means that some would consider negative.   Heidi also has a T-square in her chart. A T-square is like a car with three wheels, or a chair with three legs, there is a missing leg and imbalance of energy. In the case of a T-Square it involves three planets instead of four. Heidi’s T-squares involve Uranus in the (7th house marriage/relationships with the other) Mercury (10th house Public scene/career)  and Jupiter in the (5th house of romance) Heidi also has an opposition between Pluto and Chiron an aspect that Anna Nicole Smith also shares as well. To note: Anna also had Venus in the first house too. Saturn in the first house is a common placement for sex workers. Xaviera Hollander (adult film actress) also has Saturn in the first and is one of many in the sex industry with this placement.

  People with natal Chiron in the first house many times can have a “cat with a nine lives complex”. Heidi has a history of  flipping cars over, this happened to her three times. The most recent accident occurred after she took off and left rehab in California. This year on Thanksgiving day her home in Nevada burnt to the ground, her beloved parrots were all rescued and safe. Another trend  I have noticed with Chiron in the first apart from the cat with nine lives complex are identity issues. 

    I recently researched into the natal charts, of  over 50 prostitutes, transvestites, pimps and madames.  Out of the 50-60 charts I studied, a large portion of the subjects had Chiron in the 1st house.In particular the tran-sexuals and transvestite sex workers)  Heidi very likely had some internal identity issues and struggles.  Becoming a Madame is a hardcore thing to do; many people are not able to go through the recruitment process. In order to become a Madame, a person is emotionally desensitized, and is trained to lose their empathy towards humans. This is achieved through a number of brutalistic and disturbing tasks to other human beings as a sort of rite of passage into the sex industry. The “tasks” they have to do to other people and themselves are things most people would never be able to do or would consider. Heidi passed with flying colors by age 20. By the time she was 22 she had millions.

As a young teenager and child she was a lost kid, dropping out of school, and barely passing her classes. She had little authority in her home growing up and ran wild.  Heidi also had a fetish for older men through out her teens and through her thirties. It was common for her to date men thirty years her senior. It was through her waitressing job that she met an older playboy that gave her the connection to get into the industry. They had a four-year affair. Observing Chiron and Saturn conjoined in the first house, makes me think that deep down on the inside she is not so cocky and self assured as she presents out towards the world. Internally there is a fragile, insecure side to this person beneath the surface (The side) that empathsizes with abused parrots, that created a bird rescue in her home.

Externally she portrays herself as a cold, calculating, shrewd, business woman. (Ascendant)   Venus and dark moon Lilith are conjunct in Aquarius in the first house (of Self and identity) seeing this in her chart did not surprise me at all as it coincides with my impressions of her as being shrewd and calculating. Heidi opted to stay in prison longer than she was required. This aspect probably helped her remain  objective in regards to business matters, perhaps it plays another part in her lack of empathy.
