A reader recently requested an astrological analysis of the breakup of Prince
William and Kate Middleton, and I am happy to oblige -- although
I am not at all happy about the split itself. Failing the, shall we say, best-case
scenario of my own wedding to Wills (Your Rebounding Highness, if you're reading
this, call me!), I always thought Kate would be an ideal choice of princess
-- she seems so spunky and self-possessed. And indeed, their astrological charts
show the couple to be extremely simpatico. Frankly, it's kinda mystifying what
went wrong.
Opposite signs like Cancer
(William) and Capricorn
(Kate) are excellent love matches, right off the bat, even though their Suns
are out of orb of an opposition.
The couple's core connection is reinforced by the fact that Kate's Moon
is in Cancer (though, due to her birth time being unknown, we can't say whether
it actually conjuncts
Wills' Sun-Moon conjunction in early Cancer. See
Prince William's birth chart (Astrotheme) ~ See
Kate Middleton's birth chart (Astrotheme, no birth time)
Born six months apart, Wills and Kate also have all their outer planets within
orb of conjunction, and Mars
in Libra conjunct
within one degree. His Mercury
in Gemini trine
hers in Aquarius
fosters easy communication as well as the emotional understanding that comes
with their Moon connection.
Wills' Venus
in Taurus isn't
the greatest fit with Kate's in Aquarius, but does trine
her Capricorn Sun -- while her Venus trines their shared Mars, making for quite
nice romantic and sexual chemistry. All in all, these two seem to share a lot
of common ground and be very much in synch -- emotionally, sexually, mentally,
and in terms of what they want in life and how they go after it.
So what was the problem here? Honestly, the issue may lie more with William
himself than with the relationship.
Prince William has a tight Venus-Chiron
conjunction in Pisces,
which opens him up to being very vulnerable, emotionally giving and easily hurt
in relationships. In his progressed chart, the Moon, ruler of his self-protective
Cancer Sun, has recently been passing over the natal Venus-Chiron conjunction.
The Moon represents the mother as well as the emotions, and I am reminded of
the tabloid report that Queen Elizabeth II advised Wills to dump Kate
for fear of creating "another Diana." The upcoming 10th anniversary
of his mother's death may be opening up old wounds (Moon/Chiron) and bringing
up a terror of getting close to someone and getting hurt (Venus/Chiron). Fearing
the possibility of emotional pain as well as, perhaps, of causing pain to Kate,
Wills may have felt the need to lash out in a preemptive strike. Progressed
Venus is also semisextile its natal position, fostering a sense of chafing within
the relationship.
Still, I can't help but wonder if this is really the end for the couple. William
is also said to feel he is too young to settle down, and it may be that he just
needs time to see what a good fit Kate is for him. In the summer and fall of
2009, William's progressed Moon will conjunct his natal Cancer Sun and then
its own natal position (the progressed lunar return). Around this time he will
be assessing his emotional needs and his core needs as a person, especially
related to relationships (the Sun-Moon in the 7th
house). As William comes to figure out who he is, I would not be surprised
to see Kate come back into his life.
