The Astrology Of The Royal Weirding

The astrology around the latest array of royal weirding is fascinating.

As you may have heard, multiple media agencies have withdrawn an image of the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton because it “appeared to have been manipulated” and thus did not meet their standards.

They’re not pontificating about digital enhancement to make someone’s smile more luminous – the allegation seems to be that the image is either a digital composite of many or even actually generated by artificial intel.

What’s weird about this is that image was apparently taken by her husband William the Prince of Wales and released by Kensington Palace.

It was not only official, it was supposed to be a tacit reassurance that all is well with Kate Middleton whose absence from the public realm since late 2023 has spawned a cabal of conspiracy theories. If that was the assignment, it’s flopped. The hypothesizing on social media has hit hysteria levels and while I wasn’t at all in a conspiratorial mindset re this matter, the image is super-suss.

At first I thought wow, brilliant P.R. timing – has Kate got an astrologer? King Charles apparently is not a fan, perhaps as he sees it as too Diana-ish and I’ve already shared my misgivings re the disastrous* Coronation Date. But the image release and Kate’s message came on a New Moon in her 7th house, sextile her Capricorn Sun and Uranus, with Mercury newly in Aries trine her Uranus. That is, excellent astrology for such an annoucement.

But then I looked at the image and as it was early a.m. of Monday morning my time, thought I was mis-perceiving things because of fatigue. The Princess’s arms seemed unnaturally long or spindly and her torso looked sort of inked out.  And her head looked like it was kind of floating or not quite really in the image, like they’d taken a “Kate at event” shot and transposed it.

Even the background was odd enough that I half-expected to see a shroud of Turin type image or the Mona Lisa ghosting through blurry window panes and, I wondered, how could the glass reflect the tree adjacent to it? I awoke later to find the picture was the subject of a ‘kill order’ and that people far more adept at photography than I am were finding all manner of odd factors.

You can see them all online and they do stack up. However, if there was a concerted effort to deep fake an ‘everything’s fab’ pic, wouldn’t the Royal Family be able to afford better image manipulators? What has the Illuminati come to these days?!

It also says a lot about this early Pluto in Aquarius era that barely anyone is shocked by the idea that an establishment icon could be lying to them. The main conspiracy theory was published by a few European newspapers and it’s that ‘the firm’ are covering up something terrible that occurred to the Princess of Wales such as a coma post-surgery.

Then there are a few super-implausible flaky ones and what I thought the situation was: She is Leo Rising and one of the most scrutinized women in the world – if she’s bloated or puffy from whatever her procedure was, she’s not going to compel herself out into the world at anything below her peak condition.

And really, her job is to turn up on time looking pretty, charming everyone and projecting soft, empathetic royal power. Not only that, if the King’s health declined, she could be Queen far sooner than expected and a particularly daunting time in Britain’s history.

She must be well-aware that her popularity is one of the main factors lowering the volume of discussions about abolishing the royals or reclaiming some of the stolen loot. By this logic, she will emerge from seclusion into a high-vis, politically-charged vortex. She’s probably already fielding future marriage offers for Princess Charlotte and hearing lawyers figuring out which palace to flog off to pay colonial reparations.

After all the hassles with her brother-in-law inc, the Princess of Wales may well have wanted to have whatever the operation was and take some time to center herself psychically as well. Pluto entered her 6th house a few years ago and it’s approaching her Mercury + Venus there. This fits the idea of deciding or having to take drastic action to fix a persistent health problem.

(She’s also had Uranus squaring her Leo Ascendant since May – a transit that often inspires restlessness and which is not necessarily optimal for surgery or, for that matter, attending a zillion formal events a month.)

Mundane matters insists that most people have a certain amount of time to recover from surgery and then bam, they’re back in the fray. But if your work wasn’t vital to pay your bills and you could lounge around in a luxurious palace with a retinue of devoted servants, you might take longer, right?

However, the vibe and astrology around her most recent public appearance is intriging. Attending the Christmas Day service at the church of Saint Mary Magdalene (excellent fodder for the more esoteric conspiracy theorists), she wore a Royal Blue Alexander McQueen coat, double-drop diamond and sapphire earrings that belonged to Princess Diana with  a Juliette Botterill “bow and arrow hat.”**

To get a chart for her last public appearance – I prefer the cumbersome but more positive ‘most recent’ – I checked the Christmas Day service start time at Saint Mary Magdalene (11:AM) and scoured some royal-fans forums to affirm that the royals turn up “a few minutes beforehand.”

So going with 10:50 Am on that say we have – voila: Aquarius Rising and Saturn + Asteroid Magdalene about to rise (I couldn’t resist adding it) and Jupiter in Taurus exactly on Kate Middleton’s Midheaven and nearly exactly opposite her natal Jupiter in Scorpio. Ie: an auspicious and iconic moment for her or her reputation at least yet also some sort of departure from her base or comfort zone.

Mercury was Retrograde in Sagittarius, conjunct Mars and with both square Neptune in Pisces, also square the natal Neptune of the Princess of Wales. So I know it’s hard to visualize but essentially her natal Neptune was affected by this notoriously tricky Mercury-Mars square to Neptune that day.

So, regardless of who you are or what’s up, this set of astro-influences suggests deceit uncovered and/or the desire to escape or party. In terms of the Princess of Wales, it could suggest pressure to alter her style or persona but for reasons not as stated.

I actually wasn’t thinking any of this until the spooky picture, of course. If my original surmising is correct, she’s planning a magnificent return after Uranus completes the square to her Ascendant (April 4) to time with or close to the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction in her 10th house. The cited return to public life was Easter which is, as always the first Sunday after a Full Moon in Libra.

This year that Full Moon is a Lunar Eclipse in Libra, conjunct Kate Middleton’s Mars, in the communicative 3rd house. If we don’t have clarity by then, I’ll dig out the scary but fascinating Arabic Parts to look into this further!

Thoughts?

*I am using disastrous in its literal, classical meaning – ‘against the stars’ or ‘ill-starred.’

**The crossed arrows are interesting symbology – a truce? Royal Blue, interestingly, was once reserved for depictions of the Virgin Mary and this ultramarine shade of blue is also called ‘Marian blue’ after her. Sapphires are a fave of the British royal family albeit also controversial as they mostly come from Sri Lanka or as it was called when England “claimed” it off the Dutch, Ceylon.
