Apologies for bringing up another young man's untimely death from an overdose (not that the official cause of Heath Ledger's death has yet been determined, mind you), but it is worth noting that Daniel Smith, the late son of Anna Nicole Smith, (a) would have been 22 today, and (b) shares a birthday with his half-sister Dannielynn's father, Larry Birkhead (left; also see below).

Astrology and the Anna Nicole Saga, Part I: Daniel Smith's Birth Chart

There is so much mystery surrounding the death of Daniel Smith, son of Anna Nicole, that a look at his astrological chart seemed in order. Of course, one post is not possibly enough to analyze all the nutty-cuckoo dynamics at play, but here is a brief look at Daniel's birth chart and the transits surrounding his death.

See Daniel Smith's birth chart (Exclusive to CelebAstroBlogy.com; no birth time)

On the date of his death, September 10, 2006, transiting retrograde Chiron, the "wounded healer," was approaching a conjunction to Daniel's Sun-Venus in Aquarius and squaring his Nodes. Perhaps this describes the fact that the drugs found in Daniel's system, which eventually killed him—methadone and antidepressants—were intended to treat him rather than poison him.

Without knowing his birth time, it's not possible to say for sure, but I wonder if Daniel's Gemini Moon (representing the emotions and the mother) might be at or around 17-18°... since drugs were involved with his death, it would not be a surprise to see an aspect from transiting Neptune to the Moon. The Moon also represents one's perception of the mother, so a Neptune aspect could perhaps describe his mother's role in facilitating his addictive or self-medicating behavior.

This may sound like a copout, but without a birth time, this horoscope leaves a lot of unanswered questions about what was going on for Daniel at the time of his untimely demise. Again, there is much more to this story, so stay tuned for further astrological revelations. If anyone comes across birth times for Daniel, Anna, or baby sister Daniellynne, please share!
