The Royal Baby

The Royal baby is born at 4.24pm BST on July 22 2013 on Paddington, London. He arrived two hours before a full Moon, which means our little prince was born at the gibbous phase. He is perfecting and refining what has been developing through his family line. “As the light becomes dominant, there is a questing for revelations. The symbolic seed buds” [1] The prince has the grand trine for protection (I think he is going to need it as you will see..), and a dignified Jupiter conjunct Mars which are both on the announcer star Mirzam.

I wrote that the full Moon on the day he was born “could be a blade of truth piercing through a tissue of lies where the puffed-up charlatan deflates into a pathetically sad heap on the floor.” That and the influence of Mirzam makes him a broadcaster who could be a bit of a whistle blower. This is poignant since his grandmother died fleeing journalists. Still, she was the darling of the press too and still is, hence our fascination with her descendants. Mercury is strong too since it is dignified and on brilliant Sirius. So he will be outspoken and I think speak out about injustices. He may even be controversial enough to reveal some long buried family secrets and slay some ancestral dragons.

Royal Baby Horoscope

There is a stellium in 9th house, putting emphasis on foreign lands and philosophy. A royal does travel a lot, but he will more than most and will be fascinated by the native culture of the countries he visits. He will do more than just shake hands and smile.

The prince gets the current grand water trine at its best, with Mercury and Karmic Saturn now direct. What is interesting is his North Node on the coming November Eclipse point, Acrux the cross, so religion will be important to him. Hopefully with all that 9th house emphasis, he will embrace a wider spirituality and not tow the traditional Church of England line. I like his North Node even closer to Alphecca the corona. Destined to wear a crown, but this one is more of a tiara! He will be totally in touch with his inner female… Lilith conjunct Jupiter supports that.

The Prince of Cambridge has been born at a pretty auspicious moment, however the chart contains no quincunx or semi-sextile thinking and planning aspects. He is all or nothing, and we have the spice of the generational Uranus square Pluto which prevents the grand trine from lapsing into being a nothing.

What I find fascinating is that the royal baby was born just two minutes shy of Sun in tropical Leo, a sign that dominates the recent generation of the Royal family. The stellium in tropical Cancer supports his Cancer decan 3 Sun. This makes him the bridge between his lunar ancestry (His grand-mother Diana; Sun Cancer.) and his royal Leo heritage. He is born bang in the centre of the two luminary-ruled months. Cancer and Leo, the glorious summer months of the northern tropical calendar. I think that’s very symbolic indeed. He stays a Sun Cancer then, but has Venus on Regulus, the heart of the Lion!

Algol

One last spine-chilling point; The new Prince has Algol conjunct the part of fortune on his DC. This is angular and not something we can ignore since Princess Diana and his father William both had/have Venus on Algol. However Prince William’s Venus is conjunct wounded Chiron too, both the apex of a Yod pointing straight at his sons descendant. Will this Prince marry someone controversial and of another culture perhaps? It could wrap-up the fate that was started by Diana and Dodi, but also open up that old family wound. The synastry between Diana, William and his new son will no doubt be amazing to look at, which I will try to do in another post.
