Grayson Perry (English artist)

* Grayson Perry, CBE, is known mainly for his ceramic vases and cross-dressing. Perry's vases have classical forms and are decorated in bright colours, depicting subjects at odds with their attractive appearance. There is a strong autobiographical element in his work, in which images of Perry as "Claire", his female alter-ego, often appear. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003, the first time it was given to a ceramic artist. He attended the award ceremony dressed as Claire, wearing a little girl party frock. Perry has Taurus rising, ruled by Venus in Pisces in the offbeat 11th House. Double-identity Mercury is conjunct his Venus and both are ruled and trined by Neptune in Scorpio on the Descendant, explaining the sexually explicit content of much of his work.
Data for his chart comes from his autobiography (details below, courtesy of Andrea Miles).

Madame de Loynes, 1837-1908 (French high society hostess, demimondaine)

* The Comtesse de Loynes ― immortalized in this portrait by Amaury-Duval with her "penetrating gaze [which] seems to be appraising us, as we stare back" ― had Capricorn rising ruled by Saturn in Scorpio on her MC at the apex of a fixed T-square.

BIOGRAPHY by "Masaccio"

The famous Madame de Loynes held an influential salon in Paris beginning in 1860 until her death in 1908. . . . She [had] moved to Paris at the age of 15, where she became a part of the Paris demimonde, upper class men and women who ignored middle-class sexual values, and lived on the fringes of fashionable society. Her first significant lover introduced her to Prince Napoleon, the cousin of the Emperor Napoleon III, the ruler of the Second French Empire from 1852-70. The Prince, known as Plon-Plon, set her up in an apartment on the Champs Elysees. There she became engaged to Ernest Baroche, who held several important posts in the French government. He died in the Siege of Paris in 1870, leaving her a considerable fortune. She married the Comte Edgar de Loynes, who bestowed the title Comtesse de Loynes on her, and promptly disappeared into America. She kept his money and position, and became respectable.

Hélène van Zuylen, 1863-1947 (French socialite, author, sporting figure in Parisian life)

* Hélène van Zuylen (née de Rothschild) ― the first woman to compete in an international motor race (in 1898) ― had Mars high in the sky ruling the Aries Decan of Sagittarius on her Ascendant and Neptune in Aries on her IC.

WIKIPEDIA BIOGRAPHY

Baroness Hélène van Zuylen van Nijevelt van de Haar or Hélène de Zuylen de Nyevelt de Haar, née de Rothschild (21 August 1863 – 17 October 1947), was a member of the prominent Rothschild banking family of France. Her main creative writing period was from 1902 through 1907 when she collaborated on stories and poems with her lesbian partner Renée Vivien.

Together with Camille du Gast and Duchesse d’Uzès Anne de Rochechouart de Mortemart, Baroness Hélène van Zuylen was one of a trio of French female motoring pioneers of the Belle Epoque. She entered the 1898 Paris–Amsterdam–Paris Trail using the pseudonym Snail, thus becoming the first woman to compete in an international motor race.

An only child, the daughter of Salomon James de Rothschild, she was disinherited for marrying a Catholic, Baron Etienne van Zuylen of the old Dutch noble family Van Zuylen van Nievelt. Thus, her childhood home, the Hôtel Salomon de Rothschild, was bequeathed to the French government by her mother. Her extensive refurbishments to the van Zuylen ancestral home Kasteel de Haar near Utrecht turned it into one of the foremost Gothic Revival castles in the Netherlands.

She was nicknamed La Brioche, and used the pseudonym Snail for motor racing whilst her husband, Baron Etienne van Zuylen, competed as Escargot (French for snail). In collaborations with Renée Vivien she used the nom de plume Paule Riversdale.

Papa Spyk (Belgian sportsman, model, stuntman)

* Papa Spyk had a sudden heart attack but happily lived to tell his tale. Saturn in Aquarius on his MC is trine his Mercury-Venus-Ascendant in Gemini.

Papa Spyk is a former professional rugby player, model, and Hollywood stuntman.

He appeared in films such as American Ninja, Tropical Heat and Red Scorpion, and he has charted his experiences in his book, A Naughty Thing Called Life. On 13 July 1997, he had a massive heart attack:

"At the hospital they discovered that I had had a severe heart attack and rushed me into surgery. They opened me up, taking out my ribcage, in which I still have the staples in. They saw that my aorta had exploded in half and had split from my heart all the way down to my legs. The Doctors told my Parents that they had to amputate both my legs because they had died due to the loss of blood flow to them. The reason that all this happened to me, was that I used steroids throughout my rugby career and it caused my blood pressure to go through the roof until my heart basically exploded. The steroids along with the recreational drugs such as cocaine, used in the entertainment industry caused a lethal cocktail, hence my heart attack."

To read about his recovery see his blog/website.

HOROSCOPE NOTES

A massive heart attack caused by steroids and recreational drugs? Papa Spyk has Eris-Jupiter in the Leo (heart) decan of Aries at the apex of a Yod involving Mars (steroids) and Neptune (drugs).

Henri Duveyrier, 1840–1892 (French explorer)

* Henri Duveyrier, the French explorer of the Sahara - one of the hottest regions on the planet - had Saturn in the Leo decan of Sagittarius close to his MC. One can imagine the harshness of the Sun beating down on him.

Henri Duveyrier (28 February 1840 – 25 April 1892) was a French explorer of the Sahara born in Paris. In 1857 and 1858, he spent some months in London, where he met Heinrich Barth, then preparing the narrative of his travels in the western Sudan. At the age of nineteen Duveyrier, who had already learned Arabic, began a journey in the northern parts of the Sahara which lasted nearly three years. In 1864, two years after returning to France, he published Exploration du Sahara: les Touareg du nord (Exploration of the Sahara: Tuaregs of the North), for which he received the gold medal of the Paris Geographical Society. In the war of 1870 he was taken prisoner by the Germans. Subsequently he made several other journeys in the Sahara, adding considerably to the knowledge of the regions immediately south of the Atlas, from the eastern confines of Morocco to Tunisia. He also examined the Algerian and Tunisian shats and explored the interior of western Tripoli. Duveyrier devoted special attention to the customs and speech of the Tuareg people, with whom he lived for months at a time, and to the organization of the Senussi. In 1881 he published La Tunisie, and in 1884 La confrérie musulmane de Sîdî Mohammed ben Alî-Senoûsi et son domaine géographique en l'année 1300 de l'Hégire.
