This is the essence of click-bait: writing about the British Royal Family is like writing about Hollywood relationships, such as the one between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, people just can’t get enough of it. But something is amiss. Only astrology can allow us a peek into their relationship:
These two were born close enough to each other to allow a great deal of connection, perhaps, too much. Of greatest concern are the interactive Yods pointing to William’s Moon. These Yods are formed by inconjuncts to Kate’s Mercury/Venus conjunction and her Uranus. Because William’s Uranus is also there, this ‘trouble’ gets doubled up. In effect, he is working through the problems he felt about his mother, Diana, when she was Princess of Wales. There is also an interactive Yod pointing at his Venus, formed by inconjuncts to her Neptune and Pluto (which are also identical to his Neptune and Pluto positions). This doesn’t bode well.
There has been a lot of speculation as to what is happening with Catherine, since the revelation of her cancer diagnosis and the subsequent medical treatments. Here it is, almost five months later, and she hasn’t yet returned to royal duties. But, honestly, if you were in her shoes, would you be wanting to be in the spotlight while trying to take care of your health, while battling cancer? I thought not.
Sun opposite the Moon, both squared to Saturn: on its own this T-square would be hard work. Jupiter (conjunct Pluto) in opposition to the Midheaven all squared to a Mercury and Venus conjunction is the other T-square. That doubles the load. And just for effect, the Sun is inconjunct to the Ascendant and Uranus is inconjunct the Midheaven. Whoa, Nellie!
Sun Inconjunct Ascendant
You may find that no matter how hard you try to show others who you really are, they misunderstand you somehow. This is because the angular relationship between your rising sign and Sun sign indicates that your internal energies are quite different from the energies that you show the world. You are not intentionally dishonest with the world, you simply present a confusing complex of energies.

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 its 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.
Certainly you will discover your own routes to what you want in life. Now you need to be given the confidence and encouragement to look for these routes on your own with total freedom.
This sleeper of a story is presently on Netflix. We watched it over the weekend. Ordinarily, I wouldn’t even have bothered with it, but when you’re at someone else’s home, you go along for the ride.
The Outfit is a 2022 American psychological crime drama thriller film directed by Graham Moore in his directorial debut from a screenplay by Moore and Johnathan McClain. The film stars Mark Rylance who leads an ensemble cast including Zoey Deutch, Johnny Flynn, Dylan O’Brien, Nikki Amuka-Bird, and Simon Russell Beale. Rylance plays an English cutter who runs a tailor shop in Chicago, whose primary customers are a family of vicious gangsters. The film premiered at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival on February 14, 2022, and was released in the United States on March 18, 2022, by Focus Features, to positive reviews from critics.
I won’t tell you the plot, but the story is about one’s past catching up with them. The story slowly evolves, but the clues are there, if you watch for them. Mark Rylance is so understated that, at first, you wonder if he had wandered onto the set of a three act stage play, which takes place over the space of 24 to 48 hours in one location in Chicago in 1956. His description of how to cut and sew a suit of clothes also seemed out of place, until later, when the reason for the narration becomes clear. At any rate, the film is ‘shear’ perfection, from start to finish. I would highly recommend the time to watch it, without distraction. The twists and turns are masterful, and a masterclass in how to manipulate your enemies to achieve your personal ends. Brilliant.
Parents are Sage & Azur hatch date Feb 23 2024, 3rd baby hatched out of 5, and you picked her up 1 day before she was 8 weeks old (April 20th)

Gender confusion seems all the rage these days. We didn’t expect our latest addition to the family to be caught up in the fad. Essentially, we’ll have to wait for he/she to come into heat before we’ll know for sure.
So I wondered to myself, would his/her ‘hatch’ chart give us a clue? It turns out we had two clues: Moon inconjunct Neptune (for noon of the day, since we don’t know the actual ‘hatch’ time); and Venus and Mars conjunct in Aquarius, That last aspect (in humans) would indicate an expression of love and hate combined, but in a budgie? Gender confusion, for sure. Isn’t astrology great?
I used to watch Dave Allen on Canadian television, long before I moved to England in 1985. He was famous for being an Irish Roman Catholic who wasn’t afraid to make fun of religion, like this:
Over the weekend, when we weren’t watching the Stanley Cup playoffs, we watched comedy routines. One of us had never heard of Dave Allen before, so it was a revelation to him.
This chart is rectified to his Saturn being at the age of twelve when his father died. The three inconjuncts spell out his role as ‘society’s conscience’: Sun inconjunct Jupiter; Moon inconjunct Mars; and Venus inconjunct Jupiter. In addition, Mercury is in opposition to Jupiter and Uranus is in opposition to Pluto. I suspect everything he says is done with affection, at least when he was younger.
Everyone on this side of the pond knows George Carlin. Probably most of his notoriety comes from the “Seven Words You Can’t Say on TV” live show: he was arrested in Milwaukee for it. But we knew him in the 60’s as a counterculture figure, when he was Al Sleet, the Hippy Dippy Weatherman.
I began to suspect that these two might have similar impulses, but I hadn’t realized that they were born within a year of each other. That means that the slower planets would not have moved very far.
This is considered a good time for Carlin’s birth. Note, however that there are no inconjuncts, so what you see is what you get. That makes so much of a difference between them. Carlin’s sh*te disturbance comes from Jupiter in opposition of Pluto. One of his latest videos demonstrates his penchant for violent ideas and rude language.
I guess the other difference is the environment. But what is similar between them is the need to point out the ‘bloody’ obvious to the audience.
Comparing their birth charts demonstrates the slower planets hardly moving for a year, but there is one surprising ‘other’ connection: Carlin’s North Node is conjunct Allen’s Jupiter. Hmm. What does that mean?
I am usually circumspect when it comes to calling out politicians (in any country) for their disingenuous comments about events outside their purview. In this case, I couldn’t help but wonder why Romney has been quoted as saying that Melvin Bragg‘s prosecution of Trump was a ‘political decision’ which amounts to ‘malpractice’. Really? Only a year or so ago, political pundits were calling Bragg’s ‘risk adverse’ inaction ‘treason’. Can’t win if you do, can’t win if you don’t.
So, I decided to look at Mitt Romney’s birth chart to see why he would say such a thing.
Oh-oh. An almost exact Moon/Jupiter conjunction (in Scorpio) in opposition to his Gemini Ascendant will do that. And an inconjunct linking Mercury and Pluto will do that, too.
Mercury Inconjunct Pluto
On the negative side, however, you might misuse this ability [to understand how people’s minds work] by trying to control people’s thoughts and words. Also you may love mysteries so much that you get involved in complicated plots and arrangements with your friends. You may enjoy working in secret and creating an air of mystery about yourself, but this could backfire and make others misunderstand you or even fear what you are doing. It is important to show people that you are honest and that you are not hiding anything. Otherwise they will probably suspect you, even if you are totally innocent. And if you aren’t, they will know it for certain.

I also have this aspect, so my finger pointing is reflecting back on myself threefold.
This may prove to be a hard slog. The book is very long, and the works are very dry, mainly because each chapter is written as a philosophical treatise But, I suspect, there will be many gems contained therein, like this bit:
And he says that the world was made in six days, not because the Creator stood in need of a length of time (for it is natural that God should do everything at once, not merely by uttering a command, but by even thinking of it); but because the things created required arrangement; and number is akin to arrangement; and, of all numbers, six is, by the laws of nature, the most productive: for of all the numbers, from the unit upwards, it is the first perfect one, being made equal to its parts, and being made complete by them; the number three being half of it, and the number two a third of it, and the unit a sixth of it, and, so to say, it is formed so as to be both male and female, and is made up of the power of both natures; for in existing things the odd number is the male, and the even number is the female;

None of this is new, of course, but I am inspired by the ideas which I have covered before being highlighted here.
I shall report back, over the next coming months, of anything that I discover while reading this book.
Psychological projection is a defence mechanism of alterity concerning “inside” content mistaken to be coming from the “outside” Other. It forms the basis of empathy by the projection of personal experiences to understand someone else’s subjective world. In its malignant forms, it is a defense mechanism in which the ego defends itself against disowned and highly negative parts of the self by denying their existence in themselves and attributing them to others, breeding misunderstanding and causing untold interpersonal damage. Projection incorporates blame shifting and can manifest as shame dumping. Projection has been described as an early phase of introjection.
So, if you hear someone saying that ‘These people are evil,” remember that they are projecting onto others what they know to be true in themselves, but won’t admit to the wider world. (And you know who I mean…)
Would you support him as your lord and saviour?
27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.
I’ve tried to ignore his presence on the world stage, but somehow he cannot let go of the idea that the UK is waiting for him to be Prime Minister. Really? (Stranger things have happened, to be sure, like Brexit.) This man was the architect of the UK’s exit from the European Union, so one never knows.
The effect of a 1st House (of Personality) containing the planet Pluto (conjunct Ascendant in Virgo) cannot be overstated. Remember that Trump has his Pluto in the 12th House (of the Unconscious) while his Mars is in the 1st House. So, the energy is similar.
His Astrological Fingerprints Are All Over Brexit
See what I mean? (I don’t think I need to spell it out for you.)
Still, his energy has been met with a McDonald’s milkshake or two, over the years. Here’s the latest one:
