American-British astrologer whose name became a byword for insight and clarity to estimated billions of readers of his astrological columns worldwide. Loathing the idea of destiny, his credo was to take action. He was born to parents from Yorkshire who returned to England when he was four, a member of a large Catholic family. He had a variety of jobs before he began his rigorous astrological training under Helene Hoskins, whom he had met in 1960. Sun-sign astrology took hold in the 30s and Hoskins wrote as "Celeste" for Queen magazine. Walker had experience writing a column in Nova magazine from the late 60s, and in 1974 he took over at Celeste. In the 80s, his column was syndicated. Walker rose early and wrote by hand. He was reclusive, a food and drink gourmet. He died from salmonella poisoning on 8 October 1995, 11:45 AM at his home in South Kensington, west London. Read less
