For Royal and Eclipse watchers:-
Both Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, will be feeling the effects of the recent and about to occur eclipses.
Prince William with his Cancer New Moon catching the late December Capricorn Solar Eclipse conjunct Jupiter has just launched along with David Attenborough the “most prestigious environmental prize in history” – a multi-million pound competition to encourage the world’s greatest problem-solvers to find answers to Earth’s biggest environmental problems. He said the planet was now at a tipping point. That certainly sounds Jupiterian enough – visionary and very large. Though Jupiter has a habit of sometimes overdoing the stretch. And there may be other effects as well since this eclipse effect runs on for several months. By which time the June 21st 2020 Cancer Solar Eclipse on his birthday will be exactly conjunct his Sun and near enough his Moon. This June eclipse Saros Series is difficult with restrictions and separations in the months following with progress being blocked; and the eclipsed New Moon is in an argumentative square to Mars and inconjunct Saturn, so much less upbeat than this recent one..
Kate with her Capricorn Sun opposition Cancer Moon square Mars and Saturn Pluto in Libra will catch the January 10th Lunar Eclipse at 20 degrees Cancer which will conjunct her Moon and oppose her Sun; with the early July 2020 Capricorn Lunar Eclipse conjunct her Sun and opposition her Moon. So it’ll be a critical year for her as well in terms of relationships with partners as well as the public.
She has stepped out of her shell in the past year, spruced up her wardrobe style (mainly), and come across with more confidence. She’s been through a punishing few years with tr Pluto and tr Uranus bouncing off her Sun opposition Moon and Saturn. It has clearly been transformative – which is often the case with women who have heavily Plutonic charts since they often don’t come into their own until their forties – after the tr Pluto square natal Pluto – in her case not for another couple of years. But she has such a downbeat, hemmed-in chart, the recent battering has obviously cleared away some of what was suppressing her.
Someone on the forum mentioned early on that she appeared to be ‘on remote control’ which will have been the effect of an over-controlling Pluto from childhood leaving its mark.
Just goes to show that difficult outer planet transits, which in advance can be panic-inducing, can have a positive effect.
There may be a shift in the family dynamics and in their marriage since the eclipses are homing in on both their Sun/Moon midpoints. A necessary adjustment as they step up for what is likely to be an endurance test in years to come.
They just spent 3 days in Ireland and everyone was so delighted to see them and trust/hope they had a wonderful time.
Apologies, I realize I didn’t mention the queen in my comment which is who I’m mostly referring to.
I wonder could it suggest a passing of one of the members of the royal family which will cause significant changes in the coming year or two? This week’s lunar eclipse and sat Pluto conjunction are happening along her ascendant. Her progressed sun just changed sign, and Uranus is about to go direct a degree or two past her son (same degree as Charles moon too). Charles progressed sun is prominent now and on his descendant, and Camilla’s cancer sun and personal planets are also being hit by the upcoming eclipses and transits. I don’t like to be fear mongering or predicting death, but I’ve always noticed eclipse activity like this can either reflect major births or deaths, particularly in the royal family!
Thanks Marjorie. I am an eclipse watcher, and like to monitor their effects – or not. And the thing about royal charts is, usually, the accuracy of the birth time and place. Plus information about life events is also widely available. Interesting what you say about outer planet transits too. I’ve noticed how positive these can be, even when there are struggles and challenges. Saturn, in particular, I think can be very constructive or even life changing, if not exactly a whole lot of fun.
