Eddie Murphy and His Laws

Murphy’s Law of Connections The inevitable result of expanding connections between different levels of hierarchy is a growing area of misunderstanding. (Murphy’s Law) Coincidences surround us everywhere, and the surname of the famous actor Eddie Murphy evokes associations with Murphy’s Laws, which everyone wants to laugh at, yet Murphy’s acting also makes people want to laugh. His talent allowed him to perform in youth clubs at the age of 15. Eddie’s success was noticed by the owners of the “Comic Strip” club (a humor page) Robert Wachs and Richard Tinken. Impressed by the enthusiasm with which the audience greeted this little-known comedian, they arranged an audition for the famous TV show “Saturday Night Live.” Eddie came to Hollywood in ’82, starring in the film “48 Hours.” Fame did not take long to arrive; in ’84, the multimillion-dollar box office was noted by the film industry, and Eddie landed the lead role in the picture “Beverly Hills Cop” (1984) by Martin Brest. Todd’s principles (Murphy’s Law) worked: 1. It doesn’t matter what you’re told—you’re not told the whole truth. 2. It doesn’t matter what they’re talking about—money is always the subject. His enormous earnings allowed Murphy to found his own company, “Eddie Murphy Productions.” When critics write about Eddie, they almost never mention that he is handsome, attractive, and has a great figure. This is quite understandable because Eddie Murphy’s acting temperament overshadows everything: “His dazzling and wide, like a Studebaker radiator, smile, luxurious laughter reminiscent of a donkey’s bray, as if announcing how full of life he is,” wrote the Washington Post about him. Though Eddie himself, born under the sign of Aries (April 3, 1961, New York), thinks of himself very, very… Swipe’s Rule of Order (Murphy’s Law). “Whoever shouts the loudest gets the floor.” Murphy believes it was the enormous money and fame that negatively affected his character. For many years, he was obsessed with his popularity and did many strange things. As the magazine “TV Park” reports, he spent several hours a day in front of the mirror. To moisturize his skin, he used several types of cream, one of which had a peach tint. He curled his locks with tongs and fixed them with gel. He trimmed his mustache with gold scissors engraved with his initials. Even his socks were personalized, made by a fashionable designer. “I don’t even rest at night,” Murphy said. “I sleep fully dressed in an expensive home suit with diamond-studded hair, in a stylish pose, hoping that if paparazzi break in, they won’t catch me off guard but will take a great shot of a guy in cool clothes.” When staying at a hotel, he demanded that the bed linen be embroidered with gold thread, and that vases, ashtrays, and anything that could shine, did shine and sparkle. Moreover, he was obsessed with his health. Eddie read medical encyclopedias, frightened by the slightest sneeze, and constantly consulted doctors. Interestingly, he later played Dr. Dolittle very successfully—perhaps his interest in medicine played a role. However, what the newspapers write is not always an objective characterization of a person… Laws of Truth in Reporting (Murphy’s Law). 1. The closer you are to the facts described in the press, the more obvious the errors in their presentation. 2. The farther you are from these facts, the more inclined you are to believe the report. Examining Murphy’s cosmogram, one can say that he has plenty of distrust (a conjunction of the North Node with Pluto at 6° Virgo. His characteristics include a tendency toward pleasure, strong patrons, a constant desire to maintain form, and even irrationality and hysteria). The Sun at 14° Aries indicates weak character. The Moon conjunct Neptune in Scorpio points to frustration and sudden mood swings. Like many strong, magnetic actors (Taylor, Stone, Clooney, Johansson), the Moon in Scorpio means his personal frustrations and desire to unleash powerful destructive energy from his inner world into the external one manifest as successful transformations on screen. Undoubtedly, one thing is certain: without his charisma, it would not have been possible. Lilith at the royal 7th degree of Leo (attractiveness, impressiveness, the unleashing of all creative forces, a brilliant position) also adds brightness. Mars at the degree of fanfaronade indicates an aversion to married life. Saturn suggests the possibility of living life as one pleases, without constraints. His desire to “live large” is indicated by Chiron at 5° Pisces, the epicurean degree, where the South Node also resides (past incarnations) conjunct the star Deneb—the star grants ease in achieving everything, independence. Eloquence, creative imagination, fortune in relationships and acquaintances—everyone strives to be of service. He is such a lucky man: the monetary expression of his luck exceeds a billion dollars. That is why he has another humorous nickname, “Golden Boy” (from the film of the same name in which he starred). However, the feminine planets Venus and the Moon do not speak of Murphy’s cloudless happiness: he has had many vicissitudes, including several paternity lawsuits, accusations of sexual harassment, and plagiarism—screenwriter Art Buchwald won a case over the authorship of the plot for “Coming to America.” In 1993, the actor married model Nicole Mitchell. Like all people born in the Year of the Bull, Eddie sought to create a family, and the five children born in this marriage are a testament to that. Traditional thinking often misleads not only ordinary people but also the powerful of this world. Murphy’s Law also applies in this regard: There are only mistakes. In 2005, this marriage collapsed… Gatto’s Expansion of Murphy’s Law. There is no situation so bad that it cannot become worse. Frankly, Eddie did not particularly delve into marital relations; his work and lifestyle always implied independence. He is a great lover of dining out, and the press repeatedly speculated that the cause of the quarrel was the famous singer Mariah Carey. However, he was recently seen in the company of the former wife of boxer Mike Tyson. During their last meeting at the Hollywood club “Cabana,” she spent half the evening on Eddie’s lap. Yes, the allure of fame always has a flip side… IBM Principle (Murphy’s Law) The machine must work; the human must think. The divorce was costly: Murphy was forced to put up for sale three houses in different parts of the country, while his wife and children remained living in a huge mansion in Beverly Hills. Could the divorce have been prevented? No, and again no. In the synastry chart of the partners, there are inexorable signs of a rupture: the planet of limitations, Saturn, is in Aries in Nicole’s chart, while in Eddie’s chart, Saturn is in Capricorn—the sign of his wife (Nicole was born on January 5, 1968, in Sacramento). Essentially, they restricted and oppressed each other (self-sacrifice), and Capricorn’s desire to cement the relationship at all costs, even if it was bad, meant this marriage lasted 12 years. Nicole’s Sun is in square to Eddie’s Sun: quarrels, unwillingness, and inability to understand the other side. His Sun is in square to her Mercury: he is not inclined to take his wife’s interests, ideas, and plans seriously. Eddie’s Mercury is in square to Nicole’s Venus—strong emotions exist between them (which is why they married), but harmony is achieved with difficulty. Jealousy, financial chaos, and miscalculations in social contacts created additional tension in the relationship. Eddie is excessively extravagant and prone to indulging his whims. He refused to accept the conditions and rules of the “game,” where there are limits and constraints. Capricorn is inclined to build an ironclad structure and monotonously impose its style in relationships, a system. Aries, however—a lifelong egocentric—wants to instantly cut through these structures and break systems (especially with the Moon in Scorpio). Moreover, for the impulsive Aries, infatuation is important, while what has already been conquered does not attract him. It is difficult for Capricorn to constantly revive infatuation in Aries (it is not their system), and thus “long-playing marriages” between Aries and Capricorn often end in failure. Basic Postulates of the Developed Theory of Systems (Murphy’s Law) 1. Everything is a system. 2. Everything is part of an even larger system. 3. The universe is infinitely systematized both from the bottom up (larger systems) and from the top down (smaller systems). 4. All systems are infinitely complex (the illusion of simplicity arises from focusing on one or several variables.) It is much easier to accept life with its best side, and Eddie does everything to do so. He brings joy, laughter, and bubbling energy to everyone, and this brings him satisfaction. He sparkles, and he trusts the Earth. Astrologer: Valentina Wittrock
