The Montecito car-crash scenario hits another bump on the road with Meghan’s heavily slated, vacuous Christmas special making much of family love and togetherness. With uncanny and tragic timing it coincides with her estranged father in hospital with an amputated leg seriously ill. He has not seen his daughter since before the 2018 wedding nor her children and has been in poor health in recent years with two heart attacks and a stroke.
Family friction can run deep but she will regret it personally (I think) and more so professionally if she does not see him before it is too late.
There was (and astrologically is) a strong connection between Meghan and her father with his Cancer Sun sitting exactly on her Ascendant which gives a deep link though it can turn competitive. His Chiron is conjunct her Venus in Virgo which will trigger deep insecurity in him about his loveability. ”It’s a powerful “wounded healer” connection, where one person’s presence illuminates the other’s deepest pain, offering a chance for profound transformation but requiring courage to navigate vulnerabilities and transform wounds into wisdom.”
Thomas’s Pluto falls close to her Sun – so there will have been issues of control in the past.
Their relationship chart has a high vitality though also argumentative composite Sun Mars Mercury conjunction. With a power couple composite Jupiter Pluto conjunction though that has clearly turned into an internal power-struggling conflict between the pair.
Looking at her chart from a fresh angle she does have Eris, planet of chaos and discord conjunct her Midheaven. It disrupts, provokes and shatters illusions. To date the turnover of staff in California has been remarkably high with 25 having come and gone in recent years. She also has Nessus, which has a reputation for manipulation, lying and double dealing exactly on her Ascendant close to the rise-and-fall Procyon.
Both Eris and Nessus can be used constructively but like Prince Harry she does not appear to have found a way of turning them to good use.
There is something slightly epic about her/their trajectory. It reminds me of the hero’s tragic flaw in Greek drama – a deep-seated character defect or error in judgment that leads to downfall, making them relatable yet ultimately doomed, often stemming from traits like excessive pride, ambition, jealousy, or indecision. It’s the internal weakness that sets off a chain reaction, causing a reversal of fortune from good to disaster, even for noble figures.
Just to add a detail, Meghan’s 10th house Chiron is conjunct Harry’s 4th house Taurus Moon – which stretching a point might suggest that instead of digging deep to find her own potential and true vocation she fell back into Harry’s Royal roots to give her validation.
And so it rumbles on.
It is no surprise all this drama with Lady Di’s kids. Sad. Just sad.
MM has a Chiron inconjunct Pluto sextile Neptune forming into a yod. I am not sure has this been mentioned before. Her yod has tight orb. So any synastry aspect with Chiron is going to set off the whole yod.
This yod happened across a few years ending most probably in 1983 when Pluto enter Scorpio.
She does, I wonder if that is her trouble with 10th or 11th Chiron and difficulty with ‘fitting in’. When the news of her father’s latest health crisis happened, she had transit Mercury exactly opposite natal Chiron, apex of the yod, and transit Mars conjunct natal Neptune quincunx Chiron. Starting to wonder if that Chiron is her problem, always going on about healing. Then as you say, Harry’s moon.
Should have said, Harry’s Moon conjunct Meghan’s Chiron natally.
Marjorie said ‘His Chiron is conjunct her Venus in Virgo which will trigger deep insecurity in him about his loveability.’
I also note her and her father’s composite Venus/Moon square her Chiron exactly with Saturn not far away – so the relationship with her father triggers her. Given she seemed to have had a decent relationship with him growing up when would all these triggers surface for her? Probably needs a very mature and evolved attitude to navigate all that ….
Further, if squares represent great challenges with great rewards and are lessons we need to learn, and create friction and ambition in the birth chart Then the stars are saying her relationship with her father is a very important one through which her healing lies?
That so-called father had opportunities to heal the relationship with his daughter. Instead, he went on television and denounced her and her husband, over and over and over again. He recently moved to the Philippines where he is hardly accessible to her and I think everything about his behaviour indicates he’s an angry alcoholic. I don’t know why she’s being blamed for how sick and awful he is when that’s been entirely his choice.
There’s no end of hate for this woman, who, as far as I can tell, was never good friends with a sex trafficker.
I’m neither a fan or hater of M&H. I just cannot believe how much hate she faces on the daily and for no valid reason. She’s even been accused of faking her pregnancies which is absolutely vile.
I think the hatred says something more about those that spew it than it does her.
Fiona-Meghan was very close friends with JE’s last girlfriend, Karyna Shuliak, the dentist. They might still be friends. Meghan was close friends with Eugenie before dating Harry. Since Eugenie was a part of JE’s circle, perhaps Eugenie introduced M and K.
Yes, Meghan’s father has behaved extremely inappropriately, but the apple does not fall far from the tree as she also has behaved inappropriately (in a similar fashion to her father) to the royal family and her staff.
I thought this was an Astrology Site!!
I think saying that he faked his own amputation says much more about her than anything else. She did much the same thing about Prince Philip when he was at the age of 99, and he was seriously ill in hospital and yes dying. He wasn’t faking it. And it was down to her that the last days of Elizabeth ii were made miserable.
In essence, she is a person who uses and discards people at will when they are no longer of any use. She who promotes herself as being all about family, whose children do not know their grandparents, aunts, , uncle’s or cousins.
A person for whom lying is as essential as breathing. A person who set her father up by the very photographer that photographed her father trying on a suit is employed by her and has been for years. A woman who never once visited or contacted her father after he had suffered a heart attack or strokes. A woman who never brought her royal fiance home to meet Dad, before her wedding and never even sent him an invitation. And this was something he shamefully had to admit. This is the person you want us to cut some slack, and all because Thomas Markle was put into a position of defending himself?
The only reason that this person is now reaching out, (which has been denied by both her father and brother) is that her people have finally convinced her how bad this looks. And nobody will want to work with her on future deals, never mind buy her overpriced chocolate. If she can’t stand the heat, then she should get out of the kitchen. Most of us would love it if she did that!
I’m usually loathe to criticize anyone who becomes estranged from their parents as I’ve been through similar (even though I loved my father very dearly before he passed). Furthermore, I, too would’ve been horrified if my family had talked to the press in the way her dad did with her so I actually initially felt some sympathy for her. But then she and Harry spoke out in the press against his side of the family. Oh, the hypocrisy! It certainly turned me off them. And to think that their children have never met any of their grandparents. Either way, it would be heartbreaking if he passed over the holidays.
Archie – met Charles, Step Grandma, and Great Grandmother E, too! What will he will make of that photo when he’s a grown man…I know how sad it is to have minimal grandparents. In my case it was physical distance on the maternal side , and pre deceasing my arrival on the paternal side.
It appears the maternal grandmother is very near and dear (-one can hope).
Transit Neptune and Saturn are heading through Aries to oppose her Libra Jupiter-Saturn-Moon in 2026-27. If Thomas is ill that looks like it might be an event for the transits given moon-saturn is mother/father related
I found myself looking for opposition to his aspects after seeing your post. (I did find one, but my superstitious nature won’t let me post it.) Upon seeing his birth year I can only wonder how long can someone survive amputation at age 81.
I have to remind myself everyone *gets * to pass – and as a famous elder rocker said That’s Life. Astrologically, Scorpio and the 12th House remind me of transformation, and the power of another realm. Gave me an exhale of solace.
He has some difficult stuff coming up there with the eight-something equivalent of mid-life crisis transit – Neptune oppo Neptune, Pluto oppo Pluto, Saturn return in a few years time. Let’s hope Meghan really does make the effort as he’s not going to get any healthier.
Well said, as ever, sir.
Yanette, she has had years to reconcile. I suspect narcissism is driving her. Also if she is going to accuse him of anything, do it while he lives. Most of Santa Barbara would like to see them move on and quietly live out their lives as they stated they wanted.
I suspect that most of Montecito want them to leave, but I can include the rest of Santa Barbara as well.
Not a fan of hers and the Sussex squad that attack W and C and their children. But I do have to give her credit for the copious lovely and emotional statements she made about her dad on her blog, the Tig. She praised him for being generous, loving, supportive and always there for her. And she expressed gratitude for him paying for college. I admired the way she wrote about him-it seemed authentic and I was touched by it. I felt the same about my dad but was never able to fully articulate that but I have Saturn square sun in my chart. Apparently, Harry paid for a catered Thanksgiving meal for Meghan, Doria and Thomas before the wedding. Now, Lady Colin Campbell (via her 2019 book) has stated that Meghan plans to accuse Thomas of molestation after he dies.
But the emotional statements M made about her dad can’t have been genuine because she has cut him dead. Her love comes with conditions which isn’t love at all.
I am baffled why anyone still buys into the Harry and Meghan Markle show, but I have to say in this instance I don’t think she can win. If she reconciles with her father it will be seen as a manipulative and cynical ploy purely to protect her brand. If she doesn’t reconcile, she will be seen as heartless and cold. Hubris indeed.
Yes I wondered whether there would be darker stuff coming out…and as has been intimated ,out when it can’t be argued with…
She strikes me as a Walter Mitty character..there’s all those plans in her head that dont quite work out. Lack of Earth? Perhaps why she didn’t gel with Kate.
Yes, an impossible win for her. The astro opposite of Winning/Aries would be Peace Making/Libra…and with estrangement negotiating peace is the most one could hope for.
maybe best to see each other and have the conversation which ever way it ends. Doesn’t matter about the optic
