Astrological characteristics between generations always have a tale to tell. Like her grandmother, the new royal baby born on 2 May 2015 at 8:34am (Rodden Rating: AA; Collector: De Jabrun) has a Moon-Uranus opposition so the House of Windsor had better batten down the hatches!! Also, the Charlotte’s Mars is almost in conjunction with Algol (William and Diana have Venus conjunct Algol) so it’s a very interesting, if a little intense, chart indeed! Baby brother George’s descendant is conjunct Algol and little sister’s Mars so don’t bet on these two cherubs getting on very well.

The baby’s ascendant is conjunct her father’s Moon and Grandma Di’s Mercury. How adorable is that? We may not have Diana here with us physically but it’s so wonderful this new baby has inherited the old Spencer charm. How lovely to name her Charlotte Elizabeth Diana!

The ruling planet of the new baby’s chart is conjunct William’s Pluto and Diana’s MC. William is going to be one protective father and god help the paparazzi when the kid hits puberty. You think ‘those shots’ of a topless Kate made him mad? Just you wait until around August 2026 at her first Jupiter return. With Jupiter in Leo, that girl is going to love the spotlight and hate it when daddy tries to shield her from it. However, her down to earth Sun in Taurus in the 11th might calm this tendency.

Another interesting feature of this new baby’s chart is Mercury in Gemini opposite to Saturn in Sagittarius. Mercury is extra strong in Gemini but with an opposition from Saturn, she may be a little reluctant to hit the books. Of course oppositions mean extremes so we could have a major academic on our hands (Mercury also rules the 3rd house). William’s Uranus is conjunct her Saturn so while she may steady him, he may very well encourage that rebellious streak. One possible scenario is that William will encourage her to marry someone who shakes up the royal blood a little (Pluto in Capricorn descendant ruled by Saturn in 5th and Pluto ruling the 5th house).

No doubt there will be more and more astrological commentary on this baby. Personally, I don’t like to say too much about babies but as this is a royal one and as I, a British tax payer, am contributing  to her upkeep, I reckon I can put my two pence in!
