Mercury and the Sign of Gemini Prominent
A great deal of energy and many interesting aspects are indicated in the chart of Lily-Rose Depp, a child "blessed by the gods", the daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis. The reason why we begin this article in this way is that the young lady, indeed, has points in common with her two famous parents.
Her Sun sign is Gemini, the same as her father's. Her Ascendant is Scorpio, like her mother's. This is quite frequent, for a child usually has either the sign or the Ascendant of one of the parents. We shall examine in more detail her personal potential, since owing to other powerful aspects, it is most likely that her major aspiration is to make a name for herself.
Depp's Chart is well-balanced in terms of planetary repartition and the four elements. Two prominent signs immediately catch the eyes. Gemini first, because the natal Sun is posited there and the Sun is conjunct Mercury, ruler of the sign. This endows Depp with nice capacities for adaptation and mobility.
The Sun and Mercury are among her two planetary dominants. Miss Depp is a good summary of the symbolism of Gemini. She is anxious to learn and to carry out various experiences ranging from fashion to the cinema for example; she has no difficulty expressing herself. The fact that she is completely bilingual (French and English), steeped in American and French cultures, perfectly fits our first assessment. Lively, curious, and quick, Depp has a sense of humor and of repartee, with in addition a good nose and intuition for selecting the right partners or friends, thanks to the trine Neptune in the 3rd House forms with the Sun-Mercury duet in the 7th House.
Pluto and the Black Moon Accept No Slackening
Is Depp scatterbrained or superficial as sometimes reproached to this sign? No, because other pieces of information point to profoundness. The Ascendant in Scorpio, the second most dominant sign, denotes that intensity is extreme and that Depp exerts a real influence on people just by being around.
In passing, let us look at the Black Moon, a fictitious point which is not always taken into consideration by all astrologers, since it is karmic and varies up to some twenty degrees, depending on the calculation method – mean or true position, Bériault-Harvey, or corrected. In Depp's case, it is the true Black Moon that Astrotheme uses by default.
We notice that the Black Moon is exactly on the Ascendant. This depicts an ambiguous amazon-like power, a young (Gemini) heartbreaker (Black Moon and Ascendant) who has magnetism, charisma, and domination instinct, but who may feel a certain embarrassment.
Moreover, even without taking the Black Moon into account, we also find Pluto in the 1st House, that of the Ego, which is very strong, and has a meaning similar to that of the Black Moon.
The ruler of Scorpio opposes the Sun and Mercury in the relationship axis. It reveals high demands, a desire to wear the pants which may put Depp's partner(s) in a state of dependence. Probably not expressed as sadomasochism, since the Sun and Mercury are in the 3rd sign, a playful and light sign.
However, this configuration may suggest attraction to a lover who could be a kind of perpetual adolescent, funny, intellectual, but finally lacking deepness, or some sort of poor imitation of the father. This is only a hypothesis. What is beyond doubt is that Depp tends to take up all the room in a relationship, invisibly, intangibly, and unintentionally. She always knows what she wants. Whoever tries to tell her how to behave should watch out, since this is an almost impossible challenge.
The Strength of T-squares Is to Be Reined In
The natal chart is mind-boggling because it includes two T-Squares which are along the same lines. The first one connects the Sun-Mercury pair with the Midheaven and Pluto in the 1st House. These features reinforce our supposition that Depp's family inheritance has a fundamental role in her calling. Whether the parents encouraged her or not, Depp has put all her energy at the service of her goals. The T-Square is known as a lever, because it is about willpower; nonetheless, its fierce energies must be canalized. In Depp's case, social achievement may be an outlet.
The second T-Square involves Venus, caught between Mars and Jupiter. Regarding her very demanding affectivity, the young comedian is torn between her ambition and a certain brutality, although smothered (Mars in Libra and Venus in Cancer). Since Venus is in the 8th House, in analogy with Scorpio and Pluto, it is mainly in the field of affairs and seductiveness that Depp undergoes transformation ordeals which are not necessarily easy. Jupiter prompts her to immoderation, Venus, to romanticism, whereas Mars arouses frustration if the ideal does not come up quickly enough. But here again, Deep possesses the tools to cope like a queen, provided that she taps into her energy.
It must be underlined that, owing to the opposition Saturn makes with the natal Moon in Scorpio, emotions are strong, intense, and at times may bring about vulnerability, leading Depp to become doubtful during some periods of her life, without showing it, because Pluto and Scorpio are prevailing.
Severe Impact of the Transits of the Year 2020
It is most likely that Depp experienced disruption when the planets of the second T-Square, namely Mars, Jupiter, and more particularly Venus, were hit by the opposition of slow-moving planets transiting Capricorn (end of 2019 until the first months of 2020). The consequences for her affective life, her wishes, her optimism, and her joie de vivre have been probably painful.
Fortunately, the grip is loosening progressively for her. Nevertheless, transiting Uranus in Taurus adds his influence over the Moon-Saturn opposition, which stays active throughout the year 2020. With clear-headedness, Depp will need to change a frame and a few foundations that she thought to be steadily established. She will have to learn to live differently, with more insecurity and emotional ups-and-downs.
In other words, once she has overcome hurdles in 2020, Depp will become more mature, stronger, and more independent. She will be supported in this process by several auspicious transits in 2021: a nice trine from Neptune to natal Venus in the 8th (seductiveness, love matters, financial gains), and another trine from Saturn to her Sun-Mercury duet in the 7th (partnerships or lucrative contracts). This will not be perfect, because, the Sun and the Moon being in quincunx in her chart, a trine on one of the luminaries always provokes a square on the other. Emotions will remain intense and difficult to keep under control.
