English Comedian and award-winning actress and screenwriter, Caroline Aherne, has died, on her own at home. Born 24 December 1963, she was born with a rare eye cancer and latterly succumbed to other cancers. She was much loved by the public and those who worked with her, for her wickedly funny gags and approach. Off screen she had a complicated, at times car-crash of a love life, with one suicide attempt and spells in clinics for her drinking and other problems.
She had her Sun in Capricorn with Jupiter and Moon in inspirational Aries. Her Mars Mercury in Capricorn were trine Uranus Pluto in Virgo, sextiling onto Neptune – so she channelled her anger and turmoil into creative goals. Her Saturn in Aquarius was square Neptune which can be neurotic and also artistic; and her Venus in Aquarius sat conjunct her Mars/Saturn midpoint which latter may be a pointer to her destructive/self-destruct relationships.
She undoubtedly had courage and initiative but sadly it wasn’t enough.
Her 5th and 7th creative Harmonic were strong. Her victim 12H was stressed and obsessive. Her 13H was also difficult and very marked. Peter Sellers, the comedian also had a strong 13H, which is to do with breaking with the orthodox.
Her Venus on the Mars/Saturn midpoint is what leapt out at me too. Although I suspect that along with the Cap sun and Aries Moon may have contributed to her humour in an odd way; playing the character of the blunt speaking older lady Mrs Merton, who’s charming enough to get away with saying the outrageous. I imagine she would have some sort of 6th house emphasis with her health problems and finding humour in the every day things and “ordinary folk”. You can see her influence there continuing in other northern comedians like Peter Kay.
So very, very sad. 52 is no age to go
