Extraordinary actor in a bad situation
Actor Johnny Depp is a man who pretty much everyone in the world knows and recognizes for his brilliant cinematic performances. From playing an eccentric pirate to a mentally unstable author, we all have our favorites from among the many roles he has played. For the last 5 years, he has been in the news due to his domestic and marital problems with his now ex wife Ms. Amber Heard.
Mr. Depp has suffered a lot in the last 4-5 years due to his marital issues. Let’s find out when he will get relief from his personal troubles which have spilled over into his professional life and damaged his career. We attempt to dissect his problem from an Astrological perspective and attempt to arrive at a time when his situation will improve.
How it started
Mr. Depp met his now ex-wife Ms. Amber Heard in 2009 while shooting together for a film and and they married in 2015. At the time of they met, he was running the Major period of Rahu and Minor period of Ketu. Ketu’s tendency of separation can be seen clearly in the fact that in this period, he got attracted by Ms. Heard and away from his companion of 14 years, Ms. Paradis. I am sharing his birth chart below, as obtained from Astro Data Bank.
Astrological reasons
In his natal chart, Rahu is occupying the 5th house Gemini, and Ketu is with Moon in his 11th house Sagittarius. The 5th house deals with fame, movies / television, children, relationships etc., to name a few, whereas the 11th house deals with fulfilment of desires, spouse and children, profits, friends, social standing etc., to name a few.
At the time of his marriage with Ms. Heard, he was running the Major period of Rahu and Minor period of Venus. In his chart, Venus occupies the 4th house Taurus (its own house) with Mercury and Sun. The 4th house represents mother, home, luxuries, vehicles, primary education and domestic peace, to name a few.
When Ms. Heard accused him of domestic violence and filed for divorce, he was running the Major period of Rahu and Minor period of Sun. In his chart, Sun is placed in the 4th house Taurus with Venus and Mercury and rules over the 7th house Leo, which is occupied by Mars.
Incidentally, Mars occupies the Magha Nakshatra (constellation) that is ruled by Ketu, further clarifying the reason for the entire divorce drama which started in that period and has led to Mr. Depp being portrayed as an abusive husband and wife beater in front of the world media and this led to him being fired by big media houses including Warner Brothers and Disney, from their big budget projects such as Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.
Demise of his mother
Around the same time, he also lost his mother. Mars rules over the 3rd house Aries and 10th house Scorpio in his chart. The activation of Mars during the Minor period of Sun resulted in the activation of Ketu’s tendency to separate and caused his mother’s demise. The emotional turmoil of the divorce coupled with his mother’s death was surely a big blow for Mr. Depp.
Impact of Rahu and Ketu
Ignoring the other planets for the time being, we can see that Rahu and Ketu together took him away from his companion of that time, Ms. Paradis and into the arms of Ms. Heard. The presence of Moon with Ketu indicates clearly that this was a spontaneous and emotional decision that Mr. Depp later came to regret, on account of Ms. Heard’s behavior.
Rahu brought the charm and attraction of a young and beautiful woman, whereas Ketu played the role of emotionally distancing Mr. Depp from Ms. Paradis.
From 2017 to 2020
Since 2017, Mr. Depp has been going from one court to another in an attempt to sort out the PR disaster resulting from the divorce and subsequent disrepute brought to him due to the charges of domestic abuse levelled against him by Ms. Heard. From November 2017 to December 2019, Mr. Depp was under the Major period of Rahu and Minor period of Moon. In his chart, Moon rules over the 6th house Cancer.
The 6th house represents divorce, enemies, work environment, subordinates etc., to name a few. His enemies in Hollywood and everywhere else went up in arms against him and worked day and night to attack his image and his personal and professional conduct.
During this phase, he suffered one legal setback after another, with media outlets running articles and videos shaming him and attempting to further tarnish his image. Cancer being a water sign also saw him frequently flying between the US and UK.
Between May 2019 and June 2020, he was under the Major period of Rahu and Minor period of Mars. During this time, Mr. Depp and his legal team resolved to finish the fight and not give up. However, the pandemic situation led to a lot of disruption and further delayed justice for this matter.
From June 2020 onwards
In June 2020, Mr. Depp entered the Major period of Jupiter. Being the start of the Major period, the Minor period is also Jupiter. In his chart, Jupiter occupies the 2nd house Pisces, of income, family, investments, speech and ears, to name a few. Jupiter rules over the 2nd and 11th houses in his chart. Jupiter placed in it’s own house Pisces is powerful and also indicative of good financial prospects, something we all already know about Mr. Depp.
While the Minor period of Moon was about enemies, the Minor period of Jupiter that is current going on is all about friends, family and fulfilment of desires. In the last few months, we have seen how many people came forward to endorse Mr. Depp, including current and former co-stars and colleagues from Hollywood.
There have also been various disclosures by the police officers who responded to the phone call by Ms. Heard to the police. The officers say that on visiting the home, they found no sign of violence. They go further to state that Mr. Depp wasn’t even at home when Ms. Heard called the police and complained of him beating her.
My conclusion
In conclusion, I see Mr. Depp finally getting closure after the the suffering of last 5 years. It seems that his 59th year will show significant progress in his legal battle and conclude in his 60th year with him returning to his full former glory and possibly, returning to his earlier partner, Ms. Paradis.
