VICKY MCCLURE

The Best Stories One of the best stories about the gifted yet up front Taurus lovely, Vicky McClure, was when she was flown by private jet to attend the Berlin film festival with Madonna in 2008. She told the Guardian . “It was, like, wow, a whirlwind.” Yet the next day our Vicky was back in her office sorting through mail!” Another “Vicky Story" refers to the Nottingham Express Transit deciding to name a tram after her. Obviously, she was delighted to use the free travel available, but then an overzealous conductor accused her and her mum of fare evasion and threw them both off the tram. She probably made a cup of tea and giggled about the incident in her mum's kitchen. Super Successful The star of the Super Successful "Line of Duty" series is not only a Bafta winning actress with “stop in your tracks” blue eyes and a gorgeous demeanour, she is the epitome of super cool. A “peace man” type without the hippy connotations. The astro tell us her Moon in Pisces ensures a wise and gentle soul walks this earth. For her audience she is a powerful actress who plays their emotions like a fiddle. Her role in one of the highest rated dramas on British TV has had us all on the edge of our seats. Even with 11.4 million viewers tuning into the first series of "Line of Duty" she never let success go to her head; when the series was cancelled due to Covid 19 she still managed to look on the bright side. Disturbed? My Foot! Vicky is usually cast as some disturbed character; she has played an annoying tabloid newspaper reporter in "Broadchurch", a peace campaigning housewife in "Mother's Day," and a psychologically disturbed single mother who survived an abusive childhood in "This is England". But she is nothing like the folks she depicts on screen. Maybe her “happy and amazing childhood” kept her balanced in a cut throat business. Daughter of a hairdresser and a joiner, there are no skeletons lurking in her cupboard. She is upfront about the fact that her parents could not afford to send her to the Italia Conti stage school, for which she was accepted. She joined a theatre workshop in Nottingham, her home town, instead.

“She focuses on reality when it comes to artistic expression. A reality she can relate to, a reality that touches the hearts and souls of her fans..”

She told the Guardian It was a bit of a shithole, really----that's what I loved about it. There was this little dungeon of props and costumes. There were battered old settees we’d pull into scenes. There was stuff everywhere.” However, make no mistake, her career is not all about kitchen sink drama, she can stand doing “posh!”

Real People The fact is curious Mercury in Gemini will always ensure real people interest her.. “---like the ones she grew up with, who know what she’s really like, who understand the value of things and who build her kitchen seating units ----” Mercury in Taurus keeps her vision down to earth. She focuses on reality when it comes to artistic expression. A reality she can relate to, a reality that touches the hearts and souls of her fans. So, what is the secret to her success? Her depiction of DC Kate Flemming in "Line" has gripped the nation after all. Perhaps it is all that Piscean ultra-sensitivity, or perhaps some mysterious connection with the Divine that enables her to merge with Kate and channel her into existence. Her take is simple, sorry to disappoint. We can spot no super natural chats with spirit guides to get her show on the road. ”I just really liked Fleming..... the script was just amazing, the cast is amazing, and it was a no brainer.”

It is also a no brainer that she probably has a Leo ascendant, after all she has a regal presentation, a friendly heart and a large dose of vitality coupled with striking looks. Jupiter in Sagittarius does the rest. Good old Saggy ensures determination coupled with luck backs a winner every time. She knows how to see an opportunity and take it; she has the confidence to attract unexpected breakthroughs.

A Chat Over a Cup of Tea The cool and “feet on the ground” McClure sticks to home town Nottingham. She probably still lives there with her partner, actor and director Jonny Owen. Clearly Knightsbridge does not do it for her. Nor does the prospect of a glittering show biz existence in Hollywood. She still likes a cup of tea and a chat; she knows what heart ache signifies. Her family has been through tough times. Her grandmother suffered from dementia; her mother would sing to her granny. "It was a horrible time, and we learned as it went along how you deal with it!"

A well-disposed Mercury ensures she is curious about everyone, including you, she wants to know your truth. After all she is a people watcher who seeks authenticity. An authenticity that enhances her performance and seeps through every pore in her body. "I think people think I’m against people who are privileged, and I’m not. I’m privileged now, to be able to pay my bills and do the work I do.” Vicky will always be grateful for her gifts. Her life is her work. Her faith, her dedication to her craft has brought her, and will continue to bring her. everything she desires.
