Harry And Charles To Make Up? – Not On Your Nellie

Astrology really is very simple, it isn’t some kind of hidden esoteric mystery, it is clearly displayed in the sky every night.

Why do most humans seem to have a problem with recognising or understanding it then?

Because we don’t look upwards, in both a literal and metaphorical sense.

These days people have “far more important things” to do with their time to pay attention to the rhythms of the natural world. They become obsessed with their own “lives” as separate from everything around them and as a consequence become disconnected with reality.

Astrology provides a way to reconnect. It is a straightforward system that helps us see our own life in the context of the greater whole.

That’s what a birthchart is.

The chart contains a 360 degree space that contains everything that is possible in human life.

Our placements and their interrelated patterns show the one of zillions of possible combinations that we have chosen to experience as individuals.

This time round anyway.

But even with astrology we can unnecessarily complicate things. You only have to look at the charts that some astrologers post, they are so full of asteroids and other parts that you can barely see the individual placements, let alone the vast space behind them.

This is done by people who wish to stress their own importance and cleverness. There is a subtext that says “all this is far too complicated for your little brain, but I know the secrets so sign up to my patreon and I will reveal it to you at a price”.

I don’t wish to complicate astrology, or to turn it into an academic study.

I have no interest in the writings of Albumasar, Bonatti or Valens or anyone who claims that you have to.

I just want to reveal astrology in its simplicity, show the patterns that direct people’s lives and then deluge readers with thousands of examples of them actually working.

I also do it for free.

When attempting to show something, it’s always best to start from a place that the reader understands.

So it’s good to start with a chart that people are familiar with, even if that’s only because I keep going on about it.

King Charles’ chart is a classic example.

The first obvious thing about it is the 4th house stellium, so family issues will be the main focus of his life.

His Sun in Scorpio in the 4th suggests a deeply emotional man, someone who is an introvert.

His main pattern is a T square.

This starts with Mercury, also in Scorpio in the 4th house, which suggests he would much rather stay at home and talk about architecture with his plants.

His chart is dominated by that Moon in Taurus in the 10th house which is obviously his mother who (as has been pointed out in previous articles) has the Sun at 0 Taurus as well.

The apex of the T square is the Leo Ascendant so Charles has to carry all this mummy’s boy stuff but still somehow present himself as a monarch in waiting for most of his life.

This is incredibly simple astrology.

What else is there?

He has two planets in the 5th house, so he has two kids. Mars and Uranus are both in Sagittarius so they are both boys.

At this point I can hear some readers saying you mean that planets in the 5th house will tell you how many children you have?

This is a response I get a lot. If I put up a chart of a serial killer with a Mars/Pluto conjunction in the 8th house, chances are someone will say I’ve got that and I’ve never hurt anyone.

The problem runs through 90% of the books published on the subject.

They are full of “this placement means that and that one means this, so anyone that has them will be…”

This may be helpful as an entry level to our discipline but this tablets of stone approach to astrology is very limiting.

As astrologers we should not seek to tell people what they are based on these textbook definitions. Our astrology should be focused on the individual rather than the placements.

We should ask the question “how are these patterns manifesting in this person’s life?”

Not everyone with two planets in their 5th house will have two children, neither will everyone with Mercury in their 4th talk to their plants.

But in Charles’ case, this is how these symbols seem to be operating.

They are operating in that way, because this is important in his life.

Mars comes first so is William, Jupiter is Harry.

Jupiter is very significant because it is exactly opposite Uranus.

I have said before that if you look for the thickest red lines in a chart this will show you where the biggest challenges in the person life lie.

The Jupiter/Uranus opposition has an orb of only two minutes, so it is a powerful theme.

Of course this points to Charles separation from Harry, something that his chart said had to happen.

Not convinced? Then have a look at Charles’ progressions to the date of Harry’s birth.

Charles progressed Sun is within a degree of his natal Jupiter.

It is exactly opposite the progressed Uranus.

His progressed Ascendant is at 29.53 Leo, in exact trine to that Jupiter (29.53 Sagittarius).

Over the last few years I have been led to discover the fact that Secondary Progressions are to do with members of our soul group coming and going into our life

So for Charles, Harry’s birth and the Sun’s progression to conjunct Jupiter would mark his this life meeting with an important soul group member.

But the opposition with Uranus would mean this meeting would be a challenging one.

From early days there have been question marks over Harry’s parentage, many suggesting that he looks very like James Hewitt, someone who was definitely having an affair with his mother Diana at some point.

The discovery of this progression doesn’t confirm or deny that suspicion, it just means that Harry has a serious past life connection with Charles.

Something that is evident from their synastry.

Harry has the Sun at 22.56 Virgo, in exact sextile with Charles’ own Sun.

But even more important is his 4th house Moon opposite Charles Sun.

Harry’s Moon is a singleton planet in Taurus in the opposite hemisphere to the rest of his placements, similar to Charles’ own Taurus Moon

In What’s Next On Harry’s Bucket List? I explain that his chart pattern is called a Bucket type.

“One intriguing pattern is that of the Bucket where all the planets bar one are contained within one third of the chart, but the odd planet out would operate like a handle.

This singleton planet is very strong and would strive to dominate or impose its will on the other planets.

In a way it can act like the apex planet of a T Square but the difference here would be that where that planet is likely to point to the direction in life that the native would inevitably and naturally be drawn to, the handle planet of the Bucket would pull the person in a completely different direction to the one that they would naturally choose.

If 9 planets are all heading one way and another is very strongly demanding the natives attention in an opposing direction that could have a very powerful impact on their life.

The classic idea of a bucket is that a strong handle enables the whole instrument to be carried along thus allowing it to safely contain what it is carrying.

So although an astrological Bucket handle planet would appear to require a great deal of attention in a direction contrary to the person’s own, respecting the demands of the handle would allow the person to get on with their life in a productive way.

But what happens if the bucket was held upside down with the handle pointing downwards ?

Presumably everything contained in the bucket would fall out.

Prince Harry has all his planets bar one contained within a trine between Mercury at 5 Virgo in the 8th house and Jupiter at 3 Capricorn in the 12th.

The handle is that Moon in Taurus at the bottom of the chart in the 4th house.

The real focus of this bucket experience is the opposition between that Moon with Saturn and the Midheaven.

The 4th house is the home and family and anyone with an opposition between planets in the 4th and 10th or the Midheaven will experience a tension between how they wish to pursue their career and the expectations and requirements of their parents and their roots.

The Bucket handle Moon in Harry’s life exerts a tremendously frustrating pressure on him, pulling him away from everything in life that he wishes to achieve.”

The article goes on to cover the dysfunctional relationship that Harry has with Charles, with particular reference to the role that Diana played.

It is important to remember that Diana had a T square apex Venus at 24 Taurus, conjunct Harry’s Moon and opposite Charles Sun.

So these three characters are very strongly tied together.

In A Time To Love, A Time To Di I show that Charles was a reincarnation of his own great, great grandfather Edward 7th and Diana was his wife Alexandra.

Edward and Alexandra’s marriage was, like many royal relationships, an arranged one. Edward had as many as 50 mistresses and spent much of his spare time in Parisian brothels.

Obviously there are parallels with Charles and Diana’s marriage.

It’s as if Edward and Alexandra met up in the great life surfers car park on the other side and felt there were unresolved issues that they needed to come back and experience together again as Chas and Di.

What about Harry then? Could he have played a role back then?

Let’s just refresh his chart.

Given his synastry with both Charles and Diana, the obvious point to look at with any past life exploration would be the period when his regressed Sun was conjunct his Moon and trine his Sun.

This takes us to the late 1850s/early 1860s.

This seems very important.

Harry’s progressed Sun is exactly conjunct his Moon at the end of 1857.

His regressed Mars is also opposite his Moon.

His regressed Venus is also opposite his Saturn.

Over the next four years, Harry’s regressed Sun would also oppose Charles own Sun.

In 1861, Harry’s regressed Moon joined the throng, in Scorpio, opposite Harry’s Moon and conjunct Charles Sun.

In September 1861, Harry’s regressed Sun was exactly conjunct Diana’s apex Venus and square to her Moon.

There was also the small matter of his regressed Mercury at 0 Taurus in the 7th house exactly opposite Pluto.

0 Taurus is the degree of Charles’ Moon and Elizabeth’s Sun.

So what could have happened in this period that roped in the past lives of Charles, Elizabeth, and Diana with Harry?

As already stated Edward (Charles) had a voracious appetite for sex and a great many mistresses.

His first was Nellie Clifden, an Irish “actress” who “met the young prince at a party in England and again when he was spending 10 weeks at Curragh Camp in Ireland with the Grenadier Guards in the late summer of 1861; he had previously been a sexual novice. While they were at Cambridge, Charles Carrington arranged for a liaison with Clifden. Guards officers later brought her to Ireland from England for the same purpose, and coded notes in the Prince’s appointment book refer to trysts with “NC” on 6, 9, and 11 September 1861.

Information about the events reached the Prince’s parents. His father Prince Albert (an earlier incarnation of Philip) duly visited his son at Cambridge, where they took a long walk in the rain, presumably to discuss the Prince’s behaviour.

In order to put a stop to this, Albert planned Edward’s marriage to Alexandra of Denmark (Diana), which took place in 1863.

Albert died in December 1861, and Queen Victoria (Elizabeth) attributed her husband’s death to his worry over his son’s conduct, particularly Edwrad’s “fall” at Curragh Camp; Albert had died of a broken heart, she incorrectly believed. She was also quoted as saying that Albert had been “killed by that dreadful business.”

The Prince of Wales’s affair with Clifden resumed after his return to London, which gave rise to gossip and scandal” but ended before his marriage.

Sadly we don’t have any birth details for Nellie Clifden but it is my contention that she was born again 143 years later as Prince Harry.

In Scorpio Will Be The Death Of You I show how Charles was Edward in his last life.

Their synastry is fascinating.

“Like Edward, Charles also has a Scorpio Sun, conjunct his.

They both have Venus in Libra conjunct each others.

They both have Jupiter in Sagittarius in tight hard aspect with Uranus.

But perhaps most importantly from the perspective of this article, they both have a dominant Moon in square to their Ascendant

These Moons also aspect their Saturns.

So they both have mothers that block their birthright and delay their inheritance.

Another fact that could be of significance is that Edward’s tightest aspect, the Moon/Saturn square fits exactly on Charles strongest red line, the Jupiter/Uranus opposition.”

If we add Harry’s chart into this mix all three have Venus in close conjunction in Libra (orb of 3 degrees)

Harry’s 4th house Moon is opposite both Charles and Edward’s Suns.

Harry’s Sun is conjunct Edward’s Moon.

But the biggest clue here might be a hidden one.

When it comes to themes that carry over from past lives, they are most likely to be found in the Water houses, the 4th, 8th and 12th.

Harry has the Sun in the 8th and Moon in the 4th.

Arguably his most tricky aspect is the Sun’s square to Neptune in the 12th.

Harry’s Neptune at 28.39 Sagittarius is key here.

It hits everyone’s tightest aspects.

It falls exactly on Charles 5th house Jupiter (identifying Harry) at 29.53 Sag opposite Uranus at 29.55 Gemini.

It falls right on Edward’s Ascendant at 27.37 Sag square to Moon 29.26 Virgo.

It falls right on Victoria’s (Elizabeth’s) own Neptune 27.59 Sag square to her Saturn/Pluto in Pisces.

And it falls right on Albert’s (Philip’s) own Neptune at 25.57 Sag square Pluto and in his Grand Cross.

Neptune’s orbit is 165 years, the time distance between Victoria and Albert’s births with Harry’s.

Nellie Clifden’s appearance on the scene happened with Neptune at the quarter point of this cycle, Albert’s death occurred with Neptune at 27.50 Pisces.

We all have soul groups, a collection of entities that agree to come together over a series of lives to help each other with the experiences that they decided they needed to have.

Each member will take up whatever role is required at the time.

There is usually one particular combination that can be seen as the chief soulmate, and each of them will frequently return in the same role as evidenced by Victoria and Albert coming back as Elizabeth and Philip.

Sometimes there will be a secondary relationship that is repeated through lives and even reshuffled as in Elizabeth and Charles, having previous as Victoria and Edward and before that as Maria Theresa and Charles V1 of the Holy Roman Empire – see The Instantaneous Acceleration Of X And Y

Or the specific relationship between soul group members can change quite markedly from one incarnation to another, even though similar themes are being processed.

So the sex worker whose affair with a prince that caused the death of his father while precipitating his marriage can come back as the son of that prince.

I’ve always felt the Royal Family was a dysfunctional one with a seething mass of tensions kept hidden behind a repressed, controlled image. And that this situation was maintained by a media that was both obsessed with them and desperate to keep the truth hidden for fear that it would destroy the very fabric of British life.

The death of Diana – see A Time To Love, A Time To Di, brought all these themes to a head.

How could Harry live in a family when he was no doubt hearing constant rumours that he was not even biologically one of them and that his grandfather quite possibly played some part in arranging the death of his mother?

It’s not surprising he had to leave.

The only thing that can make sense of the Windsors is astrology, particularly if we use Secondary Regressions.

Knowing that the seeds of all this were sown during the Autumn of 1861 can help us understand it all.

Nellie was the elephant in the room back then.

This time round she’s packed her trunk and said goodbye to the circus.

She went off with a girl from the land of trumpety trump.
