Royal baby - birth chart

So, here it is, the Royal Baby has been born and what a birth chart it has chosen. The son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge was born on 22^nd July 2013 at 4:24pm GMT in London. At this time, the rising sign was Scorpio and the ruler of the Scorpio, Mars was in the 8^th house of transformation, psychology, counselling, death and rebirth type situations and especially hidden money and inheritance. The latter is obvious already! In any case, this combination is a double whammy and under other circumstances would be befitting for someone who is set to become a counsellor or healer of some sort based on the experiences he will make that will transform his personality deeply over time. It looks like the Prince of Cambridge will grow into an adult not afraid to shy away from the depths of life with its ups and downs.

Now, with a Scorpio Ascendant, this child is set to compete for social validation and with the ruler of the Ascendant in the 8^th house, he will understand the power of intuition, hidden and unspoken signals and in all likelihood may be inclined to a certain amount of manipulation. This is a secretive combination and there will be a side to him that he will try and keep just to himself - but who can blame him, given the role he has been born into.

Nevertheless, he is a 'secret keeper', the 'treasure hunter' and generally identified and subject to sudden changes in his environment that over the years will shape his personality. This is someone who is privy to confidential knowledge, especially with Mercury in the same house.

The Prince of Cambridge was also born during a full Moon in Capricorn across the axis in this chart to do with communication, media, publishing, learning, philosophy, religion and travels. With the Moon in Capricorn, he may experience his mother as being fairly strict, educating him to become a hard working individual who, it seems, will turn into a public speaker, a gifted writer and frequent global traveller. Of course, this seems obvious given the role he will have to fulfil over his lifetime but he will consider messaging and communication a strong part of his public duties and with the Moon so strong, this placement will help him fulfil this role with ease. This child will be taught to be a clear thinker and Communicator.

The 3^rd house, which is home to his Moon, is also the place of his younger siblings for which he will be a responsible older brother. He'll be very close to them who may take on the role of a mentor in his dealings with them. The Sun in Cancer aspecting the house of siblings of course supports his emotional need to be close to his siblings.

The nakshatra of the Moon during his time of birth was Uttara-ashadha, the remover of obstacles. This portion of the chart is ruled by the Sun, his guiding principle throughout his life. Born under this star, he will have the humanitarian vision to see all people as equals, no matter what their background. This is a sincere character who lives and lets live. However, this is also the nakshatra that, although he will be trained to do so, carries a lot of responsibility at a young age. With the Sun in the very public 9^th house, responsibilities may mainly evolve around education, knowledge, beliefs and what is said and expressed on a global stage. His reputation is also very much tied into what he knows and how he expresses his wisdom, beliefs and his own life philosophy. what he beliefs in may be shaped by his frequent travels, his higher education and the knowledge that will be passed down from his father, Prince William. In fact, he will play a central role as this child's mentor and teacher and the one who provides the most security to him.

However, there is also an element that although he will one day be a leader and from day one, a very public figure, he may view these responsibilities as a burden. And even though part of his ego will want to be a leader, having been born into a very regulated environment that will gear him towards great responsibilities, his real interests may simply lie in learning, education, universities, religion, teaching, research and spirituality on a broader scale.

In his chart, there are also indications that he will spend a lot of time broad, possibly for educational purposes from the age of 20 in particular.

In terms of relationships, his wife may be the one, similar to his mother, who brings the glamour into the mix. She will be the one enhancing and strengthening his regal status and will make an apt queen for sure!
