Actress Valerie Harper, best known for The Mary Tyler Show and Rhoda as well as her own sitcom Valerie has died after a long battle with cancer.
She was born 22 August 1939 at 4.30am Suffern, New York, and had an extraordinarily exuberant, resilient and talented chart. She started as a Broadway dancer before graduating to television and then latterly moved back into the theatre with a Tony nomination in 2010 for her performance as Tallulah Bankhead in Looped. Diagnosed with lung cancer, she was given months to live in 2013 but struggled on with heavy treatment to defy the odds and managed to fit in a short film along the way.
She was a charming Sun Venus in Leo in a maverick square to a 10th house Uranus. What makes her chart notable were two Grand Trines – one Fire with Pluto trine a Sagittarius Moon trine Jupiter in upfront Aries; and the other Earth with Uranus trine Neptune trine Mars in Capricorn. Fire Earth is a steamroller personality with the energy to plough ahead when everyone else is falling by the wayside. Her confidence wouldn’t be in doubt with Jupiter trine Pluto, nor her courage and need for excitement with Mars Uranus. She also had a tough, controlling Saturn in Taurus opposition a Scorpio Node square Pluto which would make her exceptionally stubborn.
She was quite a lady.
