Catherine, Princess of Wales (January 9, 1982)

This recent abdominal surgery suggests that Kate has (or had) a gut issue. Literally, she is trying to hold her life together in the face of becoming the William’s Queen too soon. Is it an ulcer? Was she bulimic? Did she have a hysterectomy? No one who knows is telling us. So, I thought I’d look at her chart for insight.

Kate’s winning smile belies a nervous disposition. Who knows what goes on behind closed palace doors? But looking at her birth chart, the Sun/Moon opposition tells part of the story. She’s in the position of Princess of Wales because her mother wished it, even though her Capricorn Sun would have resisted the idea strongly. Perhaps she’s been a royal in a previous life (Sun/South Node) and didn’t want to go through that again. Perhaps the two inconjuncts will help us understand what’s going on, behind the scenes.

Your relationships with other people can be very intense. While you are young, they may be quite difficult, because you feel that others will accept you only if you deny yourself in some way. Or you may constantly feel you should put off doing what you want in order to do what you have to do. Usually your ideas about what you have to do come from the people around you. Also, contacts with other people will frequently force you to make serious, major psychological changes. Difficulties in your relationships with friends and family are signs of profound internal changes.

If your movements are restricted and you have few opportunities to experience yourself directly, you will become more resentful of authority and finally disregard whatever you are told, regardless of merit. Later in life this attitude could make it extremely hard for you to hold down a job, because you will respond to bosses in the same way that you respond now to your parents and other grown-ups.

Her ‘feud’ with Meghan Markle is a case in point. It has soured William’s relationship with Harry, and the result is a split in the British Royal Family. We’ve seen this before in the House of Windsor. Isn’t it funny how ‘things’ come ’round again?

‘Nuff said.
