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 7^th 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 5^th 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 4^th 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 1^st house Pluto; and is a drain on the Royal purse with Andrew’s Pluto conjunct Chas’s 2^nd 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.

ADD ON: Andrew was regarded by the inner circle as Queen Elizabeth 11’s favourite  which may have been partly because Charles in a sense belonged more to the monarchy/country than her as a mother. Or just standard family dysfunction where one child was liked more than others. Or because he was a ‘love child’.

  It was a very Neptunian chemistry so she possibly glossed over his misbehaviour (and she had survived Princess Margaret and various other renegade Royal uncles whose scandals had all been swept under the rug by a more compliant media.) The Queen’s head-in-the-clouds Moon Neptune in Leo was conjunct Andrew’s focal point Uranus so she would not view his rule-breaking in the way others would. Andrew’s Mars Venus in Capricorn fell on QE11’s Ascendant so perhaps his Randy Andy reputation provided light relief from her need to keep up a solid, stolid image. His Pluto fell in her 8^th so he would exert a strong subconscious pull on her.

 Their relationship chart had a composite Moon Neptune opposition Sun which was rife with illusions and delusions. Plus a strong Pluto opposition Mars – bound by chains of power and control.

  In many ways her synastry with Charles was stronger with his Sun conjunct her Midheaven and her Saturn and his Moon exactly conjunct her Taurus Sun. But his Saturn fell in her 8^th for a defensive emotional interface. Their relationship chart had a needs-space, differing-agendas composite Sun square Uranus, trine Saturn – with a fractious Mercury, Mars, Jupiter opposition Pluto.

Singapore is celebrating 60 years as an independent sovereign nation and republic on August 9^th. Highly developed and extremely wealthy, it is a major aviation, financial, and maritime shipping hub.  It ranks highly in key social indicators: education, healthcare, quality of life, personal safety, infrastructure, and housing, with a home-ownership rate of 88 percent. Singaporeans enjoy one of the longest life expectancies, fastest Internet connection speeds, lowest infant mortality rates, and lowest levels of corruption in the world. It has the third highest population density of any country, and multi-racialism is enshrined in the constitution.

  The country chart with its emphasized Jupiter in Gemini in the financial 2^nd house square Saturn opposition Uranus Pluto Venus in Virgo in the 5^th house of speculation marked it out for wealth. With the Jupiter in a dynamic trine to a hard-working Mars in the 6^th. Plus a 4^th house Leo Sun square Neptune.  And a Capricorn Moon on the cusp of the international 9^th house.

 Assuming 12 am is accurate then tr Pluto will conjunct the Midheaven in 2026/27 which suggests a forced change of direction and a challenging phase of many years after that. With tr Saturn Neptune conjunct the Solar Arc Midheaven in 2026/27/28 hinting at a less focused trajectory ahead with growing uncertainty.

 The Solar Arc Saturn will oppose the 7^th house Neptune in 2027 with SA Venus also conjunct the Neptune which suggests concerns about a neighbour.

 Relations with various countries in the environs look edgy in coming years – Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, India.  But the most obvious source of high anxiety will be China – never an ally at the best of times and seriously aggravated between 2027 and 2029 with the composite Mars Pluto catching an opposition from tr Pluto.

 The Singapore Stock Market Index, 31 August 1998 is showing minor stress this year and next with some turmoil towards the end of the decade. The Bank of Singapore, 1 January 1971,  although nervy in 2025/6 will be on a confident roll in 2027 which may subside for a couple of years thereafter.

Comets in Astrology is a fascinating dive into an under researched topic but not for the faint of heart. The author Rod Chang having been asked eleven years ago where the icy celestial bodies that orbit the Sun known as comets, which appear periodically and erratically in the heavens, fit in with astrology, he decided to find out. There are 4,584 known comets but these are probably probably a very small fraction of the total potential comet population of maybe one trillion. Comets are known for their characteristic tails, which form as they approach the Sun.

  Unsurprisingly in ancient times they were seen as harbingers of disaster. While with endless numbers to play with they could be used to prove almost anything there are remarkable examples of comets appearing in the year of Julius Caesar’s birth and the year of his assassination. The best known – Halley’s comet – first appeared in 684 CE with a three month rainstorm following, plus an earthquake and an outbreak of the Black Death. It reappeared in 1066 which was a history-changing year for England; and again in the years when Mark Twain was born and the year he died.

  Old astrologers interpreted their meaning depending on the zodiac signs the comet passed through, by their shape and by colour.

 More recently French Andre Barbault described them as  messengers bringing information and insights from the outer edges of the solar system. The dark, freezing boundary of the solar system has been compared to the collective unconscious by Melanie Rhinehart and others. Rod Chang describes them as the rebels in the solar system displaying unpredictability and weird behaviour.

 In recent times sightings have been associated with evolutionary scientific, technological and political breakthroughs.  1882 the Great Comet of September was seen, the year when Thomas Edison switched on the first ever electrical generator in New York.

 Halley’s Comet is the only known short-period comet that is consistently visible to the naked eye from Earth, appearing every 72–80 years, and was sighted in 1986 when the channel tunnel was agreed. Another one, Comet West was visible in 1976 when Steve Jobs and Wozniak sold first Apple computer.

 This highly commendable book is awash with examples from the charts of Steve Jobs, Julian Assange, Agatha Christie. And a plethora of examples from comet case studies of happenings during sighting years of prominent comets – Chernobyl, USSR Foundation, Princess Diana’s death, Edward V11 amongst many others.

 The author writes “I hope my observations can stimulate further research into this relatively unexplored subject.”

 It left me with two questions. One is how to sort through and prioritise amongst the increasing and potentially overwhelming amount of information available nowadays from planets, Fixed stars, centaurs, asteroids and now comets. The second is how am I going to fit it all into a chart. It’ll need a giant projection screen across a blank wall.

 For all my Virgo gripes, this well written and intriguing book is well worth reading as is getting to grips with a well-evidenced addition to the astrologer’s knowledge database.

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are an unlikely romantic duo but are providing a cheering distraction with musings on their new found togetherness.  The 58-year-old Baywatch star and the 73-year-old Academy Award nominee held hands during interviews to promote their new comedy The Naked Gun, a sequel and reboot to the Leslie Nielsen-starring series of police-procedural spoofs.

  He said. ‘It was like I just felt an ease with her, you know, and we discovered a silliness with each other, which was terrific.’

  All of which is reflected in their relationship chart with a composite Sun Jupiter conjunction which will bring a sense of relaxation in each other’s company and is mutually supportive. The Sun Jupiter is in a lively trine to Mars for added zest and maybe trine a Moon opposition Uranus which would bring a sparkle of mischief.

 He was born 7 June 1952 Ballymena, Northern Ireland, no birth time, and she 1 July 1967 4.08am Ladysmith, BC, Canada. He has a Sun, Mercury, Venus in Gemini while she is Cancer – which may sound an odd match but I have seen it work well. His freedom-loving Uranus is conjunct her Sun and his Pluto is in a passionate conjunction to her Venus – so he will need his own space as well as closeness.

 She has an Aries Moon and he a Sagittarius Moon – so they will understand where each other is coming from.

 What is intriguing is their interaction with each other’s Nodes. His Jupiter in Taurus opposition Mars in Scorpio sits on her Taurus North/Scorpio South Node axis. And her Venus opposition Aquarius Midheaven dovetails with his North Node in Aquarius opposition South Node in Leo.

 Pamela Anderson has been married five times while he has remained unwed since his former wife Natasha Richardson was killed after a skiing accident in 2009.

  Their ‘fated’ North Node connection will have drawn them together and the Jupiter boost in their relationship chart is always a good sign since it softens rough edges and is morale-boosting in both directions. It will offer a strong friendship though need not necessarily translate into a happy-ever-after scenario.

  It may seem in ghoulish but it sparked a memory of Natasha Richardson’s untimely death after hitting her head in an accident in the snow in Canada. She was born 11 May 1963 5pm London. Relocating her chart to the location where she has her accident near Montreal put her Mars exactly on the Ascendant opposition Saturn on the Descendant. Mars Saturn can be accident prone and that location was clearly red-flagged.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop appears to have gurgled in a southerly direction with the winds of change blowing. A Pluto in Capricorn creature it started with a newsletter in 2008, was incorporated in the UK in 2011 and went stratospheric. As well as promoting bizarre oddities like vagina eggs, coffee enemas and $15,000 sex toys, it stoked fear about “toxins”, seeding distrust in the medical establishment. A new unauthorized biography suggests she ‘paved the way for the conspiratorial, anti-expert, post-truth thinking now embedded in the White House. Both Paltrow and Robert F Kennedy Jr are fans of raw (unpasteurized) milk.

   The biography is none too complimentary portraying Paltrow as “a semi-sociopathic, privileged ice queen who courts people she needs with her charm, only to use and manipulate them for her advantage — and spit them out mercilessly when she’s done.” Though for all her flaws she undoubtedly has her  finger on the zeitgeist. Which might give one hope that sanity may start to prevail in the wellness business as she retreats from it.

 She was born 27 September 1972 5.25pm Los Angeles,  with an actress mother and producer-director father and has a formidably determined and lucky chart. Her 7^th house Libra Sun is conjunct a bulldozer Pluto and Mars in late Virgo all square a 10^th house Jupiter. Her cool Gemini Moon on her IC is conjunct Saturn and opposition a ‘spiritual’ 9^th house Neptune.

6 Air planets including an 8^th house Mercury Uranus conjunction in Libra make her a communicator; and her Venus in fashionable Leo in her 6^th would have inclined her towards pricey health products. But what she lacks in emotional warmth, she makes up for in self-belief. She told Vanity Fair that fame had felt to her “like a predestined thing” – that she had known her “whole life that this was going to happen”.

 When Goop turned into a solid venture post 2008 tr Saturn was rising above her Descendant. Now it has come half cycle to slide below her Ascendant into a lower profile, less successful phase of her life ahead for several years.

 With such a strong 7^th house – Mars, Pluto, Sun – it is hardly surprising she has at points drawn difficult men into her orbit. She found her professional home in Miramax Films, Harvey Weinstein’s production company, starring in Jane Austen’s Emma, followed by Shakespeare in Love, for which she won an Oscar after Weinstein’s lobbying. Though after #metoo exploded she was one of the first to speak out about him.

 Weinstein 19 March 1952 9.45pm New York has a late Pisces Sun with a ferocious and ruthless 1^st house Mars in Scorpio square Pluto on his Midheaven. There was a definite money and career connection between them with his Jupiter falling in her 2^nd house trine his Pluto MC conjunct her 6^th house Venus with both trine her Midheaven. Their relationship chart was awash with Fixed stars with Uranus Alphard opposition Jupiter Chiron square Venus Algol; and composite Moon conjunct Scheat. Pholus North Node were opposite Saturn square Neptune.

  The story for public consumption at the moment is that Paltrow is more content than she’s ever been, cooking “boyfriend breakfasts” for her husband, Brad Falchuk, while awaiting the January 2026 release of Marty Supreme, her first film after a seven-year hiatus. An American sports adventure comedy-drama film with Timothée Chalamet it is about a young man with a dream no one respects, who goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness.

 I am not so sure her driving ambition will take kindly to tr Saturn sliding through her less successful First Quadrant for several years ahead with tr Saturn Neptune square her Jupiter and opposing her Mars, Pluto and then Sun from now until 2027. Her cast-iron certainty about her destiny will be going through uncertain times; with further emotional jolts as her Solar Arc Uranus opposes her Moon, on the same degree in six months’ time and extending through 2026.

  What is astrologically striking is her megaton Pluto which prompts her to hand out contemptuous opinions about others and simultaneously attracts corrosive judgements about herself. Not a women to warm to easily.

In the unending horror of Gaza, there are two significant developments. One is Arab countries – Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt – calling for Hamas to disband and play no further part in the governing of Palestine, the first time they have done so.

 The other, inside Israel is the rising number of serving and retired senior army officers who are turning against Benjamin Netanyahu’s war. One said “I think the main reason for a prolonged war in Gaza is political expediency.” Eran Etzion, a former deputy head of Israel’s national security council, was even blunter. “By now it has long been clear to most Israelis that the main reason the Gaza campaign lingers on is because of Netanyahu’s political, personal and judicial interests, and he needs the war to go on in order to sustain and even enhance his grip on power.”

Lt Gen Eyal Zamir, the IDF’s chief of staff, is said to have argued that there is little more to be gained by continuing the campaign.

 Ehud Olmert, a former prime minister (2006 -2009), has described Netanyahu’s plan for a ‘humanitarian city’ in Rafah as a concentration camp for Palestinians and that mass forced displacement of people into the camp would be ethnic cleansing. He added that anger at Israel over Gaza war is not all down to antisemitism. Israeli human rights lawyers and scholars have described the plan as a blueprint for crimes against humanity and some have warned that if implemented, “under certain conditions it could amount to the crime of genocide”.

 Hamas, if the start date of 14 December 1987 is sound, then its demise (at least in its present form) could be two years off in 2027 when the Solar Arc Pluto is conjunct the natal Sun and SA Mars is conjunct the natal Saturn. That suggests they won’t go quietly or easily into submission or withdrawal. But when they do go it will be a total annihilation.

  Across the IDF chart, and the Netanyahu relationship with their commander and with the IDF, there are increasing ruptures from this August onwards, worsening through November and April 2026. The IDF chart, 26 May 1948, and BN’s relationship with senior brass look increasingly agitated after mid 2026 into 2027.

 The Israel/Netanyahu relationship chart will jolt, jangle and suffer shocks from now onwards through this winter. There is nothing outstanding either his own chart or his recent term chart to indicate major changes any time soon.

 One outcome of the past two years in Gaza is a new wave of radicalization.  Fundamentalist groups are on a recruitment drive. Inside Israel/Gaza, terrorist networks are replacing dead Hamas fighters at a rate of five to one. A British security source told Reuters that the Gaza war is “likely to become the biggest recruiter for Islamist militants since 2003”. The International Centre for Counter-Terrorism warned that such conditions are “active incubators for the next generation of extremist operatives”.

ADD ON: The Palestine Declaration of Independence, 15 November 1988 12.40am Algiers, Algeria, points to a raft of difficulties, failures and panic ahead with tr Neptune Saturn conjunct the Mars now into 2026 and square the Uranus Saturn also over the winter. The one chink of relief might come from tr Uranus conjunct the Jupiter from June 2026 till early 2027. But it looks like getting a whole lot worse before it gets there.

  Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah administration for the West Bank supposedly a replacement in Gaza when Hamas is removed is described as discredited and corrupt.   He took over on 15 January 2005 and has avoided elections ever since. That chart looks paralysed at the moment with Solar Arc Saturn opposition the Neptune and is facing a rocky 2026 with tr Uranus square the Uranus after mid year.  Abbas, himself, 26 March 1935, will be similarly jolted, jangled and undercut from mid 2026 onwards with tr Neptune (and before that tr Saturn) conjunct his Aries Sun, tr Pluto square Venus and tr Uranus square his Saturn.

 Nothing looks likely to settle immediately. One of the many tragedies of the Palestinians is they have always been badly led.

Out of the bin into a resurrected-possible, leftwing Jeremy Corbyn has attracted half a million signatories for his new, as yet, unnamed party.

 His partner in the venture Zarah Sultana says their policies will include “democratic public ownership of key industries, universal free childcare, rent controls, free public transport and much more”. Corbyn, added there is “huge appetite for the policies that are needed to fix society”, including “wealth redistribution, housing justice, and a foreign policy based on peace and human rights”.

  They are an odd couple. JC, 26 May 1949, is a Sun, Venus, Mercury and Uranus in Gemini with Neptune in Libra and Jupiter in Aquarius – very airy and ideological. With a tough-minded Mars (Moon) in Taurus square Pluto  and Saturn in Leo.

ZS, 31 October 1993, on the other hand has a ferocious collection of Mercury, Mars, Pluto square Saturn in Aquarius with her Sun in Scorpio as well plus a Taurus Moon.

  JC is having a high-tension, argumentative winter with tr Uranus square his Saturn in November/December and April 20026 – and tr Uranus conjunct his Sun from  July 2026 onwards into 2027. Uranus being a trickster changes in his life could go either way. His midpoints don’t look cheerful until 2028 and even then there are major pitfalls. 2026/27 look depressed/unpopular with his Solar Arc Venus conjunct his Saturn.

 ZS also looks in turmoil and insecure across this winter with a hard push thereafter.

 Corbyn’s relationship with the UK does not leap out as being overly positive with a hostile Mars Pluto square Uranus Saturn and a pie-in-the-sky composite Jupiter opposition Neptune.  The UK and ZS is also fraught with composite Uranus opposition Saturn square Mars – plus a marginally more upbeat Jupiter trine Pluto.

 The launch, such as it was, on 24 July 2025 12.22pm London is very much aligned to the new era with Pluto trine Uranus sextile Saturn Neptune. Pluto in the 4^th opposition the Sun Moon hints internal problems within the party of control and domination with divisions over finances (Uranus in the 8^th) and problematic policies over employment and health.

 Procyon, Fixed planet of rise and fall sits close to the Midheaven and 10^th house Moon. Tr Jupiter moving through the 10^th from late this September to October 2026 (and a hint into June 2027) could suggest an early surge of  popularity which then dissipates.

  What it will do is split the Labour vote and Reform is splitting the right wing sector. So who knows? All into the melting pot.

 My prejudices are probably showing but having lived through the Cold War and seen the disaster of left wing economics I am no fan of Corbyn and his ilk. Starmer may be awful but further left would be worse. And yes, I know the right are horrific in a different way on economics but there are gradations of calamities.

A maths prodigy with a satirical sense of humour, ‘who revelled in writing tongue-twisting songs of discerning bad taste’, Tom Lehrer has died aged 97.

  An acclaimed musical satirist of the cold war era he became one of America’s favorite prophets of doom building up a cult following before retreating to academia. His dazzling prowess at the piano reflecting his love for up-tempo Broadway show tunes came to a glorious climax in his 1959 recitation of the chemical elements in the periodic table (102 at the time) to the tune of A Modern Major General from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta The Pirates of Penzance.

‘Well ahead of his time on issues including pollution and nuclear proliferation, Lehrer made his mark with biting humor and zany rhymes. He was also wickedly funny on random subjects including murder, conjugal discord, chemistry and his distaste for pigeons.

Poisoning Pigeons in the Park, one of his signature tunes, conjures up a couple enjoying a spring pastime of slaughtering pigeons with strychnine – “It just takes a smidgen!”

Born on 9 April 1928 in New York to a secular Jewish family, he inherited his love of music from his mother as well as his mischievous sense of humour. He entered Harvard at 15, graduating magna cum laude with a degree in mathematics three years later though he kept up his musical interests throughout. He retired from the entertainment scene after the 1960s into teaching maths at MIT, Harvard and elsewhere.

 In 2022, uniquely for a recording artist, he announced on his website that he was relinquishing all copyright claims on his work, putting all his songs into the public domain.

 He had an upfront Sun Jupiter in Aries square Pluto and in a Fire Grand Trine to Neptune in Leo trine Saturn (and Moon) in Sagittarius. Fiery, inspirational, rarely doubting his abilities. A prominent Neptune is not only musical but oddly enough mathematical; and in his case was in a showbizzy opposition to Mars. His Saturn was square Venus Mercury and possibly conjunct his Moon – he never married and described himself as a loner.

A taste of his lyrics:

 “I ache for the touch of your lips, dear. But much more for the touch of your whips, dear./ You can raise welts/ Like nobody else/ As we dance to the Masochism Tango.”

A romantic song becomes a lament from a lover who has murdered his girlfriend and cut off her hand as a keepsake: “The night you died I cut it off/ I really don’t know why./ For now each time I kiss it/ I get bloodstains on my tie.”

[“You know,” he said later, off all the songs I have ever sung, that is the one I’ve had the most requests not to”. ]

After he retreated from the musical scene, when people asked him to write a new song about current issues, he likened it to “asking a resident of Pompeii for some humorous comments about lava”.

Rapture greeted the England Women’s Football team – the Lionesses – win over Spain in the Euro 25. A nail-biting finish saw them seize the trophy.

For Sarina Wiegman, the Dutch manager of the England women’s national team since 2021 it is another triumph. She is the first-ever men’s or women’s manager to reach five consecutive major international tournament finals.

 Born 26 October 1969 she has a stalwart Scorpio Sun opposition Saturn in Taurus with a formidably determined Mars in Capricorn trine Pluto; and serendipitously was born less than a week before the first Women’s Football Association meeting in London on 1 November 1969.

Lucy Bronze, 28 October 1991 was singled out for special mention since she played on a fractured tibia throughout. She has a Sun conjunct Mars in Scorpio trine Uranus (North Node Neptune in Capricorn; with Mercury Pluto conjunct in Scorpio as well – all of which gives her steely, not so say super-human, resolve. Her Sun Mars sit midway of an adventurous Jupiter in Virgo trine Uranus.

Goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, 16 November 2000, yet another Sun Scorpio opposition Saturn in Taurus, has her Mars in Libra sextile Pluto, square Venus in Capricorn and trine Neptune Uranus in Aquarius. A mix of rock solid and hyper-active.

Chloe Kelly, 15 January 1998, who scored the final penalty for England has her Capricorn Sun conjunct Venus and Neptune with her Mars in Aquarius.

 The youngest player Michelle Agyeman, 3 February 2006, has an Aquarius Sun conjunct Neptune Mercury on the focal point of a Fixed T square to a Jupiter in Scorpio opposition Mars in Taurus.

  Not sure Lioness is the accurate title for them. Scorpions with a hint of goats (from Capricorn).
