Wyatt Earp (March 19, 1848 – January 13, 1929)

I know that question seems a little harsh. After all, we all know who he is, and there have been many stories told about his exploits, including what happened at the O.K. Corral in Tombstone. But he wasn’t the main protagonist:

Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp was an American lawman and an assistant marshal to his brother, Virgil Earp. Earp was involved in the 1881 gunfight at the O.K. Corral, during which he and other lawmen killed three outlaws. While Earp is usually depicted as the key figure in the shootout, his brother Virgil was both the U.S. Marshal and the Tombstone city marshal and had decided to enforce a city ordinance prohibiting carrying weapons in public in an attempt to neutralize the loosely organized group of outlaws known as the Cochise County Cowboys.

Only one astrology website has this birth time, but because it is so exact, I’m going to follow suit. The final planet in the train that starts with Mercury in Aquarius, through four in Pisces and the South Node and Uranus in Aries, ending with Pluto, the planet that would have witnessed his young wife die when he was only 21. His path was sealed with that disappointment.

On December 17, Judge Sanderson finally ruled that prizefighting was illegal in San Francisco and that the courts would not determine the winner. Sharkey retained the purse, but the decision provided no vindication for Earp. Until the fight, Earp had been a minor figure known regionally in California and Arizona; afterward, his name was known from coast to coast. The boxing match left a smear on his public character that followed him until after he died. Eight years later, Dr. B. Brookes Lee was accused of treating Sharkey to make it appear that he had been fouled by Fitzsimmons, and Lee admitted that it was true. “I fixed Sharkey up to look as if he had been fouled,” he confessed. “I got $1,000 for my part in the affair.”

The position of Mars in Wyatt’s birth chart may be the marker of this slur on his name.

Earp tried to persuade his good friend, well-known cowboy movie star William S. Hart, to help set the record straight about his life and get a movie made. “If the story were exploited on the screen by you,” he wrote Hart, “It would do much toward setting me right before a public which has always been fed lies about me.” Hart encouraged Earp to first find an author to pen his story.

In 1925 Earp began to collaborate on a biography with his friend and former mining engineer John Flood to get his story told in a way that he approved. Flood volunteered his time and attempted to write an authorized biography of Earp’s life, based on Earp’s recollections. The two men sat together every Sunday in the kitchen of Earp’s modest, rented bungalow. While Wyatt sipped a drink and smoked a cigar, they tried to tell Earp’s story, but Josephine was always present. She often interrupted and insisted, “You can’t write that! It needs to be clean.” She also demanded that they add more “pep” to the manuscript, which in her mind meant including the word “CRACK!” in all capitals. In the chapter about the shootout, the manuscript includes 109 uses of “CRACK”. She thought Earp needed to be shown as a hero, and the manuscript includes a chapter titled “Conflagration” in which Earp saves two women, one a cripple, from a Tombstone fire.

In his birth chart, the unpublished manuscript would have appeared where Jupiter shows up.

The death chart is set for noon, which augments the inconjunct linking the Sun (conjunct the Midheaven) and Mars. Jupiter, again, is conjunct the (presumed) Ascendant @ 6° Taurus. These may not be accurate, but they are symbolic. After his death, his legendary life grew to what we remember today.
