Agatha Christie – in the lead by a mile from unlikely beginnings

Crime writer Agatha Christie’s Witness for the Prosecution which was the short story turned drama that turned her from a success into a phenomenon in 1953 has been remade for the BBC’s Christmas schedule. She is the best-selling writer of all time with 80 detective novels. Only the Bible has sold more than her four billion copies. No mean achievement especially for someone known as slow as a child, possibly dyslexic.

Born 15 September 1890 4am Torquay, England, she had an isolated childhood, home educated with her two elder siblings off at boarding school. She started writing to stave off boredom encouraged by her mother. Her first marriage produced one child. It lasted 12 years until her husband left her, at which point she disappeared for 10 days causing a hue and cry. She subsequently, aged 40, married an archaeologist who was only 26, which lasted for 36 years, though he seemed to have a mistress in the background.

She was a Sun Virgo square Mars in Sagittarius, so hard-working and feisty. She also had a communicative Air Grand Trine of a Libra Moon trine a creative, slightly paranormal Neptune Pluto in Gemini in her 10th trine Jupiter in Aquarius. Pluto in the 10th makes for influence, Neptune is artistic and the combination of the pair can be larger than life as her output and achievements showed.

Her 2nd house Mercury in Libra was widely trine Pluto Neptune and the North Node in Gemini. She was clearly designed for a money-making and ambitious life from unlikely beginnings.

Her second husband, Max Mallowan, 6 May 1904 had a Taurus Sun which fitted well with her Virgo Sun and possibly an Aquarius Moon conjunct her Jupiter and trine her Libra Moon. His Jupiter was in her 8th so a deep and supportive bond; with his Mars Mercury on her midheaven so he’d promote her ambitions.

It was an adventurous match with Mars Jupiter conjunct in their relationship chart and his Venus falling in her 9th house of travel – she accompanied him to the Middle East on digs. But not always easy or overly emotional. With so much Air in her chart and a self-sufficient Virgo Sun she’d be quite detached.

  1. hello, well finally some intense, well researched, critically accurate information that first piqued my imagination then absorbed me completely, BRAVO……research no other individuals would comprehend unless they need there creative imagination occupied.

  2. Noted evolutionary astrologer Steven Forrest has done a fascinating study of Agatha Christie and how her past life impacted her incarnation as mystery writer extraordinaire. Definitely stretches the imagination. Mind expanding, to say the least. Google: Steven Forrest–Agatha Christie.
