The worst Royal crisis since the abdication of King Edward in late 1936 is probably an exaggeration since Andrew is 8th in line to the throne (at present). But there were significant and relatively similar though stronger influences then – both tr Pluto and Solar Arc Pluto were bearing down on the 10th house UK Royal-ruler Moon. There was also a tr Saturn opposition tr Neptune in place and tr Uranus was about to move into the 8th.
Andrew’s astrocartography is pointed.
Kazakhstan where he had good relations with the Kazakh elite, one of them Timur Kulibayev, a billionaire son-in-law of the then resident buying his Sunninghill Park mansion, originally a gift from the Queen, in 2007 for £3m above the £12m asking price. It was revealed in a 2026 BBC investigation revealed that Andrew received millions of pounds originating from a company linked to a criminal corruption/bribery scheme associated with Kulibayev.
Relocating Andrew’s chart to Kazakhstan it puts Jupiter on the IC (= good for domestic success) and Venus Mars in the playboy 5th.
Epstein’s Caribbean island puts Andrew’s Sun in the 10th with his Venus Mars hovering close by in the 9th and his wayward Uranus on the IC. Good for his ego, for fun and indulging his worst tendencies in private. His Moon fell in the 7th there so it would fulfil his need for finding a play partner in Epstein. New York also has his Moon on the Descendant.
Beijing (with uncomfortable questions being asked about associations there) – has Andrew’s evasive Neptune on the Ascendant and Uranus on the Midheaven.
Peter Mandelson who has got off lightly so far and may continue to do so, with little showing on his natal chart (without a birth time) is showing some unrest vis a vis Andrew. Their relationship chart has tr Uranus opposition the composite Pluto through April, for a spot of turbulence, followed by an even bigger upheaval with tr Pluto square the composite Uranus from late this March to late June and on and off till late 2027. Plus emotional upsets from tr Uranus opposition the composite Venus in the second half of this May and again across the New Year.
Mandelson’s relationship with Starmer will be undermined and rattled from April and more in June – though that may also be Starmer’s position as well as Mandelson’s.
I can only imagine it is Mandelson’s Midheaven and Ascendant that are taking the brunt of the present collapse which is not known with a birth time.
Other stray thought to finish – the late Queen Elizabeth 11’s reputation is being dented as more and more horrors financial and otherwise emerge from Andrew’s bad behaviour which she had the sources to keep her informed had she so wanted. Shame – she was a steadying influence – with a glaring blind spot.
The post Andrew relocated – and Mandelson first appeared on Astroinform with Marjorie Orr – Star4cast.
