Uranus will be squaring William\u2019s Moon (wife) at 5 Cancer through to the end of 2012. Uranus is the awakener. I think Kate will change now she has got what she has wanted for so many years, and I think William is going to be wondering who he has married. The next 2 years are going to be difficult and unsettled for him in his marriage. You do not want to get married with a hard Uranus-Moon transit coming up (or Uranus-Venus for that matter.)<\/p>\n
It is interesting that Diana died in 1997 as Pluto was finishing a hard transit to William\u2019s Venus-Uranus opposition, and now he gets married as Neptune is finishing a hard transit to his Venus-Uranus. It connects the two events. And his Venus is also closely conjunct Chiron, so there is a wound here. His Mum\u2019s death and the trauma of it have affected his choice of partner. He is seeking healing. It is unconscious, and Kate looks like she fits the bill. Put another way, if one of your parents is absent or dysfunctional or just completely unlike you, you may not learn how to relate to members of that sex, who to trust and who not to trust, and you may have to learn the hard way. Also, with Moon in Aquarius in a t-square with Venus and Uranus, Diana was deeply unconventional and unsettled and wanting to break free. It\u2019s like William has instinctively chosen the opposite of Diana, because it was that desire to be free that resulted in her death. And, in the strange way that fate seems to work, William\u2019s marriage may well end up with him feeling trapped like his Mum did. But how else do we learn?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The question of fate and free will is an important one for astrologers. How much of our lives is fated, and where do we have real choice? \u00a0There is also the suggestion that our subconscious drives us to play out our fate even when we should, or in any case could, have real choice. \u00a0Children of alcoholics marry partners who don’t touch a drop but later begin drinking. \u00a0Rape victims marry partners who seem gentle at the time and later become abusers. \u00a0The subconscious force to play out the dynamics of the birthchart is extremely strong and requires an elevation of the consciousness and an application of the higher mind before we can really have true choice.<\/p>\n
So eclipse or not, like all of us Prince Williams is playing the cards that he has been dealt and it will be interesting to see what transpires as a result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

<\/a>I’d like to return briefly to the Royal Wedding discussion. \u00a0Many astrologers have pointed out the fact that the wedding chart shows the Moon void of course at 26 degrees Pisces, meaning that the Moon is unaspected and will not make aspects to any other planets until it reaches the next sign (Aries) which it did on Friday just after the wedding. \u00a0Electional charts (charts that are used to “elect” a particular date typically would never have a Moon void of course which suggests that an astrologer was probably not used in planning this wedding. \u00a0(Whether or not the void Moon has an impact in our daily lives is a matter of great debate and most astrologers agree that focusing on such minutiae is not always helpful in our daily lives.)<\/p>\n
