Joan Hickson, the English actress, who brought Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple to life in a long run of celebrated television episodes was born on August 5 1906. She first appeared on stage in an Agatha Christie play in the 1940s and the author wrote to say she hoped one day she would play Miss Marple.
Joan Hickson was an entertaining Sun, North Node, Mars and Mercury in performing Leo with an Aquarius Moon. What would link her into the role was her Venus in Virgo being in an affectionate conjunction to Agathe Christie’s communicative Virgo Sun; and her Mars being in an enthusiastic opposition to Christie’s Jupiter.
Their relationship chart had a passionately exuberant Mars Venus opposition Jupiter and trine a joint-enterprise Pluto Saturn, square the composite North Node – linking their connection to the zeitgeist.
They might not have got on as 24/7 companions since there was a composite Sun square Uranus and it was a business-like rather than a warm connection but good news all the same.
I’m wondering. The Hickson fan site says she was born in 1906. If correct how much of a change would this make to her chart.
Thank you so much for this! I was inspired to ask because Drama, the UK free-to-air TV channel, showed episodes of the series these few past Sundays (but not this past one, I think?). Of course, I’ve seen the series before. She is just perfect, as if she is not even acting, of course, and the accent is a thing of joy and beauty, spoken pretty much by no one these days. And if you’ve seen her here and there elsewhere, she really is a perfect Leo entertainer! One could’ve expected it!
