Prince Andrew emerges, as expected, as an unpleasant human being from the Andrew Lownie’s Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York – sex obsessed and boorish, with an prurient, adolescent sense of humour, crassly arrogant, rude to staff and unsurprisingly lonely.
Journalist Petronella Wyatt said he reminded her of Princess Margaret, ‘who thought she was more royal than the Queen. He talked and you had to listen. He ignored all attempts to change the conversation and continued to make inappropriate jokes. He’s the most out of touch royal I’ve ever met and I’ve met lots. He really does believe in the Divine Right of Kings.’
Boris Johnson after lunching with him said: “‘I’m the last person to be a republican but if I ever have to spend another lunch like that, I soon will be.’
In 2021, after Meghan Markle was accused of bullying staff, Buckingham Palace braced itself for historic complaints about Prince Andrew’s bullying, profanities and impossible demands.
It has all been said before but it does seem to be (has to be!) coming to a point of no return when the damage to the monarchy outweighs (or should) any family sentiment.
Andrew, 19 February 1960 3.38pm London, with a dependent 7th house Pisces Moon Sun opposition Pluto, has a chart riddled with yods. His obsession with sex is pointed up in his Venus Mars conjunction in Capricorn sextile a Scorpio Moon. His willful, disruptive, intolerant, even lawless behaviour comes from Uranus on the focal point of a yod inconjunct Saturn sextile Mercury – which in other hands might have had a positive outcome as a trailblazer but in any event its catalytic effect will tend to give him the capacity to make irrevocable changes in his environment.
His overbearing self-importance comes from a focal point Jupiter in his attention-attracting 5th house square the North/South Node axis.
He also has a yod of Moon sextile North Node inconjunct his Midheaven – which should have given him a singular direction in life but seems to have trapped him in a quandary. Perhaps anchored into arrested development by mother issues from his 4th house Scorpio Moon. His Moon fell exactly conjunct his mother Queen Elizabeth 11’s Midheaven, welding his emotional nurturing to her status.
Transiting Uranus is square his Sun exactly now as his reputation is trashed even more effectively than before and will continue to rock n’ roll its way across his Sun/Pluto midpoint and then square Pluto into 2026/27 which suggests a phase of significant upheaval. His Solar Arc (focal point) Uranus is also aiming for his IC which also suggests an uprooting/relocation by next year. And both legs of that central yod will be affected by an undermining Solar Arc Neptune conjunct his natal Saturn later this year into 2026; and his Progressed Mars is conjunct his Mercury now – when yods are shaken by aspect it tends to shift life onto a different track . On top of all that tr Saturn Neptune will square his Jupiter across this winter denting his confidence.
Given that he has zero self-awareness and an inordinate streak of obstinacy, any changes will have to come from outside.
Despite the fact that he has the ability to do damage to Charles’ image with Andrew’s Uranus conjunct Chas’s 1st house Pluto; and is a drain on the Royal purse with Andrew’s Pluto conjunct Chas’s 2nd house Saturn, the Andrew Scorpio Moon conjunct Chas’s Scorpio Sun will make for a strong bond however uncomfortable.
Charles and Anne did make an effort earlier this year to shift the dialogue but clearly to no effect. But there is no doubt that the next generation down are adamant he must go.
William’s relationship chart with Andrew has a composite Saturn, Neptune, Mars pointing to implacable dislike and that is being triggered as tr Uranus moved into Gemini exactly now and opposes the Saturn, and in 2026/27 the composite Neptune and Mars – so the pressure from his side will escalate.
One story that emerged from Lownie’s book was a scuffle between Prince Harry and Andrew (which Harry is denying!) but it seems all too likely with their relationship chart having a hostile, toxic Pluto square Jupiter Mars. That do-or-die struggle for the upper hand was being triggered by tr Pluto conjunct the Mars at the time of the alleged punch up in 2013 which would ramp up the heat considerably. And tr Saturn was also square the Pluto and conjunct Mars around the time of Harry’s wedding which would be explosive as well.
Andrew’s relationships with his two daughters Eugenie and Beatrice looks more troubled than usual at the moment and more so in 2026/27.
The tentacles of Epstein show no signs of losing their grip anytime soon. It is an exceptionally odd phenomenon as his ripples still unsettle the White House and UK monarchy even years after he has departed for warmer climes.
I am pro-monarchy but they do themselves no favours at times. One way and another Andrew has to be shuffled off into oblivion.
A genuine query from an astrology ignoramus — with the chart that he has, could Andrew have turned his negatives into positives and lived a more productive life without displaying his arrogance, entitlement and greed?
Have you seen people with similarly negative charts who’ve turned the negatives into positives? Or was Andrew doomed to be an entitled AH from birth?
Thanks!
Yes, but that needs supportive benefic big planets either in natal chart or during transit and a lot depends on the persons choices.
Biggest planets like Saturn and slowest moving Pluto prove that it all in end depends on the path the human chooses and so does Jupiter- the only benefic without ill effects and Sun.
I have seen that lone big planets also aren’t able to give optimum results as when they r supported by other big ones and benefics.
Example; my mom and my aunt both have Neptune in 1h but my.mom likes to do nurse kind care and that’s her 1st instinct even for those who hurt her while my aunt with same moon sign, ends up trapping people to make money from them despite not spending a penny – that’s her 1st instinct but Saturn in my moms 8h, won’t let her astray.
1960 vintage – seems he’s both at this point.
The idea that any changes will have to come from outside sends a shudder…every clunk along the way, and I’m sure I’m to blame ( while somehow simultaneously blaming someone else!) …that can’t be right, but the axis of shame and blame is one I’d like to astrologically unpack.
AC’s comment *Monarchy used to be the place for antiques not antics* = my *seems he’s both* commetn
There is an old rumour that Andrew is not the son of Philip, but of Lord Porchester. Rumour or no rumour, Andrew and ‘Porchey’ have some interesting conjunctions in their synastry. On the other hand, the mere possibility of being an outsider in the family can have a strong psychological impact. However, this does not absolve Andrew of the responsibility of having become a repulsive human being.
This is all part of the decline and fall of the House of Windsor. To me, the intense rivalry between Harry and William will only grow for a final act after the latter becomes king because it is unresolved. In addition, if young Pirnce George is as unconventional as his chart suggests, Andrew will be a sideshow. This does not bode well for the survival of the monarchy.
“A femme Fatale”….an attractive, seductive woman, especially one who is likely to
cause distress to a man who becomes involved with with her.
Solar Return Moon conj SR BML square Pluto. SR Moon-SR BML (femme fatale) quincunx

Andrew was born during a Saturn Hour. This hour of birth would repeat itself every 7 years.
Using 7 planets and the Chaldean order of planets with each planet ruling one year of life,
we get……0 years, Saturn,1960; 7 years, Saturn, 14 years, Saturn……49 Saturn;
56 Saturn; 65 years Saturn
Chaldean order is ….Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon….then 7 yrs
later the cycle repeats.
Andrew is 65 yrs old, and again as at birth he is in a Saturn year. In his natal chart he
he has Saturn, ruling 6th injury to others, and 7 relationships on his 6th cusp opposing
natal BML on 12th cusp…..”Draining relationships with authority figures.” and “Putting down females, workers, with dark comments.”
This is echoed in his current Solar Return…..SR BML conj SR Moon…..”Dark comments
towards women in his life.”
Hi Martha, wondering how many times does a Saturn hour appear within a 24 hour natal chart? And for how long? Do the other planets also have specific times allotted to them? Thanks, I find it intriguing, would love to find out more about it.

Just remove the quotation marks, paste, and hit Enter in your browser.
To see your current hour, go to Astro-Seek or Drik Panchang (Hora section) – just make sure you specify your location, on which the planetary, and any other unequal hours, are dependent upon!
Thanks El Aznar – I did find my way there by googling – turns out I was born in an hour of Venus – LOL not what I was expecting!
Or
“https://planetaryhours.net/”,
and, again, specify the location.
Marjorie you missed your vocation as FCO Cabinet Sec!!!! “even years after he has departed for warmer climes…..” lol!
Vox pops I hear around the place are moving from royalty neutrality towards anti at this point. Monarchy used to be the place for antiques not antics.
Replied above, AC….Prince Antic is now an Antique, too…
