Actor and television producer Michael Kitchen was born on Sunday, 31st October 1948, in Leicester, England, UK. No birth time available.
As a Sun sign Scorpio, Michael will feel intense emotions, even if he doesn't show them. He may find it hard to trust others as he fears betrayal. Should that happen, it will be difficult for him to forgive or forget. However, his sense of devotion means that he cares deeply for those who have proved their loyalty.
With plenty of willpower, as Scorpio is one of the fixed signs of the zodiac (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) he will be extremely stubborn. He will always have known what he wants from life and then set out to get it when the moment is just right. If something is worth having, it's worth waiting for.
With his natal Sun in a sextile aspect to Saturn, Michael is reliable, patient and dedicated. Not afraid of hard work and responsibility, his success is in no small way down to his own talent, ambition and effort. He is someone that others feel they can rely upon and he is definitely a trusted person to confide in.
In Michael's natal chart, Mercury is situated in the sign of Libra. This indicates that he is good at making decisions by weighing up all options and reaching a balanced viewpoint. He is very sociable and enjoys the company of his close circle of friends. With a sparkling love of words, he communicates easily and is a very sympathetic listener. Sensitive and kind, he has an elusive magnetism which makes others feel special in his presence.
Natal Mercury in a sextile aspect to Jupiter and Pluto gives Michael a fertile mind and a wonderful sense of humour. He has an eagerness for information and is never short of constructive ideas. It's likely he has an interest in subjects such as psychology or mysticism. His intuition and perception are razor-sharp and he will want to learn what makes people tick, why they behave the way they do and how they are likely to react in any given situation. This would be of great benefit to him as an actor.Michael's natal Venus is not only conjunct a World Point, it it also the apex planet of a T-square configuration. This involves an opposition aspect between Jupiter and Uranus, both squared by Venus. In any chart, the apex planet becomes the dominant influence, therefore, Michael's suave and sophisticated image, his beautiful voice, as well as his acting and musical talent are all from within the realms of Venus.
With his natal Mars in the sign of Sagittarius, Michael is probably quite competitive and has a love of contests whether they be professional, intellectual or physical. He is honest and direct, he will say exactly what he thinks and probably relishes a good debate. This planetary combination also symbolises a love of adventure, discovery and exploration.
Mars is in a square aspect to Saturn in Michael's natal chart and this shows that he has probably faced more obstacles than most during his life. It's possible that he was - and to some extent still is - quite shy. At times, he may even have considered giving up on reaching his goals but with patience,and perseverance,as his strong points, significant achievements ultimately paved the way for much deserved recognition.
Mars sextile Neptune in Michael's natal chart shows that he has a rich imagination and powerful emotions. He is intriguing to others and they will want to know more about him as he leaves a lasting impression on everyone he meets. He sees every side of a situation and won’t jump to conclusions or take anything at face value. In fact, his instincts and intuition are second to none and with his heightened sense of perception, he won't be fooled by anyone.
In Michael's natal chart, Mars is in a very positive trine aspect to Pluto making him passionate, determined and focused. With a natural tendency to investigate anything mysterious, hidden, buried, or controversial, the darker side of life will fascinate him.
Michael's natal Uranus is on a World Point at 0° Cancer. This influence symbolises someone who has broken away from the expectations and traditions of their background. There is definitely a rebellious streak in him. He will be very private about personal matters and his home life will be a sanctuary of peace and freedom although possibly a little unorthodox.
Michael has a natural magnetism that will make him impossible to ignore. According to his fans, he is "hypnotic"; "alluring" and "mesmerising". The perfect description.
Thank you so much for featuring Michael Kitchen. One of my all-time favourite actors.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. He's a favourite of mine too.
DeleteI love this amazing man. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Jenny x
DeleteGreat article Sue. Michael is surely one of the greatest British actors. We all miss him so much as he hasn't been on our screens since 2020. But I guess he may have retired.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michelle. Yes, he's so underrated but I guess that's because he keeps a low profile and doesn't do chat shows, etc. The celebrity circuit doesn't interest him. Hopefully he hasn't given up performing just yet.
DeleteGood news, Michelle! MK will be on our screens again on Friday 29th December, on BBC2 at 10pm. He's featuring in the sequel to the brilliant 'The Kemps: All True', this time titled 'The Kemps: All Gold'. :-)
DeleteThanks for the heads-up, Sue. I'll be sure to watch!
DeleteI came online to find news of Mr Kitchen on his birthday today and discovered this post. Such a wonderful actor and from what I've heard, a lovely man. I do hope he is well and will be on television again soon. Happy Birthday, Michael where ever you are.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, Diana.
DeleteMiss Michael Kitchen so much! I'm off to celebrate his birthday by binge-watching Foyle's War.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea. Enjoy ;-)
DeleteMichael Kitchen is exactly 2 weeks older than King Charles.
ReplyDeleteYes. Very different charts though.
DeleteThank you for featuring my favourite actor.
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome, Denise.
DeleteMichael Kitchen is such a talented actor but so underrated. I do hope we see him again soon but until then I'll have to watch his old masterpieces. Right now it's 'Alibi'.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, Laura. Hopefully he will return to our screens in the not too distant future but as you say, there are plenty of MK dramas to revisit. 'Alibi' is definitely one of my favourites.
DeleteHi Sue. Thank you for this lovely profile of Michael Kitchen. He has been my favourite actor for many years. May I ask if you have looked at his chart for clues as to what he might be doing in the next few years?
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, I'm glad you like it. I have looked at Michael's chart for the next few years and there is a lot of activity involving major transits from the first week in January 2024 until mid-2027.
DeleteHowever, right now we don't know where he is or what his current circumstances are. We haven't seen or heard anything of him since 2020, so has he retired? Is he incapacitated through ill health? Or, God forbid, has he passed on?
Until he becomes visible again, it would be unfair to publish any predictions. Let's hope he has been working in the theatre and will be on TV again soon.
Oh yes, I do hope he's ok.
DeleteThose EYES!!!
DeleteI know..... Very Scorpionic.
DeleteSuch a brilliant actor.
ReplyDeleteHe is.
DeleteI hope we see at least one of his films over Christmas and New Year.
ReplyDeleteSo do I. I'll be searching the TV planner!
Delete"Suave and sophisticated". Oh yes! Most definitely ;)
ReplyDelete:-)
DeleteSue, now that we've established Michael is still alive and looking fantastic in The Kemps: All Gold, is it possible you would consider doing a forecast for him after all?
ReplyDeleteI'll see what I can do.....
