Royals in disarray – siblings at odds

Charles finally acted in the interests of the monarchy stripping his brother Andrew of title and home as status and reputation won out over family.

 Charles’ 10th house Taurus North Node has an implicit momentum towards career and public life -and with his Solar Arc Pluto conjunct his 4^th house South Node exactly this year he clearly felt the time had come to follow his destiny and cut loose from an old family dilemma. Much of the blame for this sadly belongs to Queen Elizabeth 11 who must have been informed by the security services and political advisers of Andrew’s more than questionable financial dealings and all the rest.

 No doubt Prince William would have kept up the pressure since his relationship with his uncle is dire – with a composite Saturn, Neptune Mars conjunction which tr Uranus started to oppose this year and will continue on for another two years or more – so he won’t be backing off and there may be more to come to raise his ire.

 Sibling rivalry has haunted the Royals over the past three generations. Charles and Andrew have a competitive and aggravated composite Sun, Mars, Mercury sextile Saturn in their relationship chart. Andrew’s yod focal point Uranus is conjunct Charles’ 1^st house Pluto – so they are chalk and cheese with Andrew on a mission to de-stabilise Charles’s influence. Andrew’s Pluto is also conjunct Charles’ Saturn for a no-win tussle (over money).

 Queen Elizabeth had her own problems with her sister the wayward Princess Margaret; with Margaret’s rebellious Uranus square Queen Elizabeth’s overly conscientious 6^th house Pluto. Their relationship chart had an implacable and fairly toxic composite Mars square Pluto.

  There was an undercurrent with Margaret of her trying to upstage Queen Elizbeth which is certainly the case with Harry whose Pluto is conjunct William’s Midheaven Jupiter – so the barbs and attacks are Harry’s way of trying to control William and bring down (damage) his reputation. No doubt to bolster his weak self-esteem.

 Even one generation before – though the situation was different with the spare having no desire to be monarch – the abdicated Duke of Windsor’ Midheaven was conjunct King George V1’s Mars with his retreat causing a good deal of anger. Their relationship chart was nerve-stretched and a recipe for confusion with a composite yod of Uranus sextile Moon inconjunct Neptune Pluto.

  There is nothing to indicate a healing of William and Harry’s relationship – indeed it may worsen over the turn of the decade into the early 2030s.

 Princess Beatrice and Eugenie will be undermined by tr Saturn Neptune in Aries now and through 2026 and beyond on their birth charts; with considerable strain and anxiety between them and their father.

  My own personal thoughts are that Charles who was always known to be thin skinned about attention being diverted from his ‘public performances’ would have been enraged about his historic Vatican visit being over-shadowed, let alone being heckled after that. There may well be more to come since the media are on the hunt and Andrew’s financial capers were egregious and glossed over at the time.  The real risk is that public anger over Andrew will force open a Pandora’s Box where the Royal finances are concerned.
