Kelsey Grammer, best known as his iconic role for two decades as Dr Frasier Crane in Cheers and Frasier is no stranger to tragedy with his beloved sister murdered when he was 20 and his absent father also murdered in an apparently racially motivated killing in the Virgin Islands.
For years he knew little about the detail of his sister’s death until recently he decided to write a book about her and insisted on reading the original police report which described repeated rapes and then her throat being cut. At the time of her disappearance he took to drink and abusing drugs as a way of coping with the grief of her loss.
He was born 21 February 1955 in St Thomas, Virgin Isles, no birth time and his sister Karen on 15 July 1956, New Jersey. They were raised by their mother and her parents.
Kelsey has a Pisces Sun opposition Pluto – a hint of the father outwith his control; with initiative and restlessness in quantity from a Cardinal Grand Cross of Mars in a publicity attracting opposition to Neptune square an adventurous Jupiter Uranus in Cancer opposition Venus. His determined Saturn in Scorpio is square Pluto and trine Uranus Jupiter would give him hardship and luck in equal measure. His Aquarius Moon is probably opposition Pluto and square Saturn for bleak emotional experiences.
His sister Karen had a trickier chart with a Water Grand Trine of a Cancer Sun trine Mars in Pisces trine Saturn in Scorpio. Her Sun was square Neptune which may have been conjunct a Libra/Scorpio Moon. And she had a confident Jupiter conjunct Pluto which had just moved by Solar Arc directions to oppose her Mars and trigger her Water Grand Trine when she was abducted and killed.
Kelsey’s Uranus Jupiter were conjunct her Sun and his Sun was opposition her Jupiter for a lively connection. Their relationship chart had a passionately enthusiastic and fun-loving composite Venus Mars trine Jupiter. Tr Pluto was opposition the Venus Mars when she was killed.
As he was researching and writing the book about her over the past three years tr Pluto was square his Mars and Neptune and opposition his Uranus – so it would be an exceptionally demanding time. With tr Uranus heading to square his Pisces Sun in 2026 the hope is he may finally be able to put some of his grief and anguish behind him though it may be an unsettling process.
