Eddie Murphy has been graced with a biopic covering his extraordinary career from unlikely beginnings to become a teenage comedian through to a blockbuster movie star. Acting, stand-up and singing are all in his repertoire.
He was born 3 April 1961 1.30pm (unverified) New York, with his parents splitting when he was three, his policeman father murdered when he was 8 and he spent a year in foster care when his single mother became ill which is where he said he learned to crack jokes
He has an Aries Sun and Venus (like Goya and Raphael) trine a rebellious and individualistic Uranus in Leo in his 1st. His Sun is in a high-vitality and argumentative square to Mars. His Pluto in Virgo conjunct North Node are trine his Midheaven giving him drive to succeed. What stands out as a motivating factor in his life is a 4th house Neptune Moon conjunction in Scorpio in a creative, self-protective Water Grand Trine to an 8th house Mercury in Pisces trine Mars in Cancer. His Neptune in the 4th house of childhood and father is square his Mars/Pluto midpoint describing his early experiences. His Pluto North Node opposition Sun/Saturn and square his Venus/Mars will also have given him a tough streak as well as an over-energised romantic life – with (I think) ten children from five different women.
Reviews describe the biopic as “reverential” but for all his missteps he has had a memorable career of nearly 50 years. To name but a few – Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, and Trading Places, The Nutty Professor, the Shrek franchise to Dreamgirls.
