A celebrity break up memorialised in an album of songs about betrayal, heartbreak, public humiliation and bitterness has sent the gossip media into a flutter. Lily Allen, a super-successful singer, talk show host, record label owner and a Laurence Olivier Award nomination actress, has had a riotous life.
I confess I had never heard of her but her wiki entry is astonishing with admissions of an early abortion, followed by a still birth, then post-natal depression following two live children, an affair with Liam Gallagher and her hiring female prostitutes. David Harbour, her second, now ex-husband, is well known for Stranger Things and Marvel blockbusters. In the version that comes across in her songs he appears to have been upset by her success. She has been diagnosed bi-polar and ADHD.
Born 2 May 1985 in London, she has a Taurus Sun opposition Pluto in Scorpio which will make her defensive, stubborn and inclined to over control. She also has Saturn in Scorpio, North Node in Taurus and Jupiter in Aquarius which will give her endurance but not much in the way of flexibility. What gives her a ‘no-filter’ approach will be her yod of Pluto sextile Neptune inconjunct Mars in Gemini so she will be erratic in the way she handles her assertion and self-will.
David Harbour, 10 April 1975, New York has his Sun, Mercury, Moon and Jupiter in Aries which does chime with her Venus Mercury in Aries and his Venus in Taurus will fit with her Taurus Sun; and his Pluto opposes her Venus for a passionate undercurrent. But His Uranus conjunct her controlling Pluto is a red flag since he’d constantly try to loosen her grip. And his Mars in stubborn and contrary Aquarius square her Saturn and trine her Pluto is an absolute no-no, sparking off aggravation and resentment.
That translates in their relationship chart to a brutal struggle for the upper hand Mars opposition Pluto and an irritable Mars inconjunct Saturn with admittedly a little icing sugar sprinkled om top from an affectionate composite Sun Venus.
They married in La Vegas on 7 September 2020, the wedding officiated by an Elvis Impersonator, which date echoes the relationship itself. A head-in the-clouds, delusional Sun opposition Neptune; Venus opposition a super-aggravated Saturn Pluto square Mars. Plus an impulsive, seemed-like-a-good-idea-at-the-time Sun trine Jupiter trine Uranus.
Nothing in hindsight that looks like a good idea.
