The relationship between monarch and country has always been troublesome (with scandals aplenty) though less so in recent centuries in the UK with the growth of democracy.
Queen Elizabeth’s relationship chart with the UK had a powerfully confident Jupiter Pluto conjunction suggesting a strong and successful association. There were two yods onto a Leo Moon and Neptune respectively pointing to a relationship which bound the destiny of monarch and country together – with pomp and circumstances from Moon in Leo and a life of sacrifice from Neptune. There were also rough edges of resentment from a composite Saturn opposition Mars.
Her hard-working Pluto was conjunct the UK Midheaven giving her great influence; and her lively Mars Jupiter were in the UK’s 5th house conjunct Venus so she would boost morale and attract affection.
Charles’ relationship chart with the UK is more stressed with a composite Pluto opposition Mercury square Saturn opposition Mars – chained-together by circumstances and having to accept it, resentful, aggravated, arousing bitter arguments – and getting more so over the next 18 months with tr Uranus conjunct the Pluto later this month into December, then the composite Midheaven, opposition the Mercury and in 2025 square the Saturn and square the Mars into 2026. Plus a separating, discouraging tr Saturn square the composite Sun Venus over this coming New Year and in early spring 2025. So a longish run of disruption and confusion, which may not all be financial but these revelations won’t help.
Charles always had a reputation for hobnobbing with questionable wealth which his father evidently warned him against. Armand Hammer I recollect from decades ago was a buddy, an oil baron with close ties to Russia. And Middle Eastern potentates as well through decades, who were still dropping lavish jewels on the Royals when Harry married Meghan. The Queen through her racing interests was also associated with Sheik Maktoum, the billionaire Dubai absolute ruler, who kidnapped his daughters. Never mind Andrew and the Kazakhstanis.
Prince William has a marginally easier relationship chart with the UK with a friendly, affectionate Venus Sun conjunction on the focal point of a linked-destiny yod inconjunct Midheaven sextile Uranus. Though a stressed composite Pluto in a resentful square to Saturn and a mutinous inconjunct to Mars hints at underlying problems on both sides.
There will be changes ahead in the relationship with tr Pluto square the composite Uranus this year and next; plus tr Neptune Saturn square the Pluto at the same time; and by 2026/7 tr Saturn Neptune will make an undermining square to the composite Sun Venus. An uneasy passage ahead.
William’s compassionate Cancer Moon is usefully situated conjunct the UK’s Midheaven with his Cancer North Node in the UK 10th square a disciplined, hard-working Mars Saturn on the UK Ascendant. He may be less on the hook for financial problems vis a vis the UK in contrast to his father and grandmother.
There was an astrological theory that William born in 1982 on the day of a Solar Eclipse in the 2 Old North Saros series which finishes in 2036 might be the last monarch and exit that point. Though how sound that speculation is I wouldn’t hazard a guess.
[Having skipped through my own chart looking at the repeating Saros series which oversaw my birth it did appear to coincide with career/house moves. So something may be afoot in William’s life.]
In 2036 tr Uranus will be conjunct the UK’s 10th house Cancer Moon which is associated with the ruling classes. With tr Saturn on a Return in the UK chart conjunct the 11th house (legislature) Saturn opposition Pluto in Aquarius. That suggests major push for a change in the UK’s direction with a rethink of the parliamentary system and considerable financial pressures. It will be a pivotal moment for the UK with the SA Saturn conjunct the North Node, tr Pluto square the SA Uranus; SA Neptune conjunct the Midheaven.
It won’t necessarily involve the Royal question but it is true that the UK’s finances and parliamentary set up will be hugely affected by tr Pluto in Aquarius through the 2030s starting with a completely blocked square to the Mars in 2030/31 and moving its way on to hard aspect the UK financial Venus and Neptune and then Saturn.
On Prince William’s chart in 2036, tr Neptune is crossing his IC and move into his 4th bringing an unsettling sense that he is losing his roots; and the foundations of his life are dissolving. His Solar Arc Midheaven will also conjunct his Neptune the following year. Tr Saturn opposition Pluto will be bringing extreme pressure to bear on his Solar Arc New Moon as well. Nothing definitive in terms of a change of career but certainly highly stressful and confusing.
The Hanoverian Monarchy chart, 1 August 1714 JC, which was the start of this Royal line has a 19 degree Leo Sun which in 2036 will be exactly opposed by tr Pluto with tr Saturn square. There have been such influences before on this chart so it may not be terminal but it does indicate major challenges.
