Analysis of Prince William of Cambridge's astrological chart

A Cancer in Need for Radiance

Prince William of Cambridge has such a splendid, and even, shall we say, royal natal chart! Yet, these recent years, the life of the British monarchy has not been a bed of roses, among tragedies, scandals, and re-evaluations.

Queen Elizabeth II is still in charge, and Prince Charles, the father of William, is first in the line of succession to the throne. We do not intend to guess what will happen. However, based on the chart of William, we can say that any serious astrologer would reach the conclusion that he has all the qualities required to become king in his turn.

Let us examine what is indicated by the configuration of this man born with the Sun in Cancer, with the two luminaries in conjunction and in an angle in this sign.

The Sun is in conjunction with the Descendant, while the Moon is just slightly further. She prevails over the Sun, because she is also in an angle and in domicile.

In other words, William is considered to be emblematic of the sign. Besides, Cancer was the sign of Princess Diana, his mother.

Undoubtedly, the links between them were very strong, and William is certainly very keen to perpetuate the memory of his mother, particularly through committed actions.

This is confirmed by the position of his Sun, who is in the South-Western quadrant and forms a nice trine with the Midheaven, where Jupiter is in Scorpio. There is a deep harmony between the way William experiences his identity and his undertakings in preparation for a grander destiny.

Never Without the Family, with the Sun and the Moon in Cancer in the 7th

In this regard, the Sun and the Moon emphasize the couple, since they are both in its House.

Therefore, it is logical that William has chosen to marry a woman who can accompany him throughout his journey. She had to accept the important place family matters occupy in their marriage. Indeed, the position of the luminaries in Cancer and in the 7th implies that the partner must unceasingly support the deep sense of clan motivating the prince.

Fortunately, the latter is also able to fully devote himself to his marriage. In addition, both the Moon and the Sun, without forgetting Jupiter to whom they are favorably linked, strengthen the Water element. Thus, Prince William shows a great deal of empathy, gentleness, and comprehension.

The Moon in the 7th House, and especially her position on the Descendant, indicate some proneness to suggestibility. In Prince William's case, it is in the best sense of the word, thanks to the support of Jupiter, despite a loose square with Mars, which may hint that sometimes, Catherine Middleton has a few mood swings, or that there are quarrels in the couple, but that disagreements remain insignificant.

It is possible to look at the Sun-Moon configuration in Cancer from a broader perspective. William has the potential to create a kind of partnership (the 7th House) with his nation, since both planets are in Cancer. He sets himself the mission to protect his people, whom he does not consider with a domineering eye, but with whom he behaves as if they were partners. Moreover, his shoulders are strong enough to reassure those willing to respect tradition.

The Advantage of Jupiter in Life and When Wielding Power

Let us examine his gorgeous Jupiter, who has the place of honor on the Midheaven. It is quite hard to offer a better configuration to someone who is meant to be a leader.

Actually, Jupiter, the key dominant of the chart, in trine with the luminaries, and in sextile with the Ascendant and with Neptune, receives no harsh aspect.

To put it differently, this means that William of Cambridge is a prince (someday probably a king) naturally optimistic, warm, able to instill an always positive energy.

It is all the more exact that the planet rules the Ascendant in Sagittarius, and reinforces the values linked to the sign. William is Jupiterian through and through. He enjoys the pleasures of life, and his authority is at the same time innate and benevolent.

In parallel, it is most likely that he constantly gives of his best. He knows how to be assertive in order to set an example and to draw crowds behind him. His prominent Jupiter strengthens William's interest in public affairs, administration, and justice. Jupiter also explains that William received a very open education which enabled him to gain a great deal of knowledge. He studied geography, biology, and art history. After obtaining good results (A-Level when he completed college), he took a gap year to perform his military service and to travel abroad. He went to Belize and to Chile, distant countries, to implement community projects. This is the influence of Mars, Saturn, and Pluto, three planets very active in the 9th House, that of journey. This configuration complements the effect of the Ascendant in Sagittarius.

The Ascendant in Sagittarius Describes a Mobile Leader

After his return, he completed university studies in geography, and became the most graduated member in the royal family. This feature too is typical of an Ascendant in Sagittarius, often desiring to further improve academic knowledge. Later, William pursued his path with a military career as a pilot in the Royal Air Force, and displayed his natural gift for commanding.

Furthermore, the Ascendant in Sagittarius is not to be outdone in physical matters, and needs to move. In fact, when he was younger, William practiced several sports such as football, basket-ball, and cross-country. When he has the opportunity, he appreciates to frequent the world of sports or to attend great events in this area.

In the affective area, we must add a few words about Venus in the sign of Taurus. Without having the lead role in the chart, and notwithstanding a loose opposition with Uranus, Venus confirms that William's temperament is pleasant and affable. He prefers constancy in love. In this regard, he needs to be reassured, while he attaches importance to sensuality.

In brief, it is difficult to find flaws in this very promising sky map.

Nevertheless, we must mention the ambiguous role of Neptune on the Ascendant, in opposition with the Sun and the Moon. William may be too idealistic, make errors, and be disappointed by people or in the field of foreign affairs. He may have to ensure that he is surrounded by pragmatism-driven persons. Indeed, most of his planetary aspects describe a man who is determined, but who may not deal with continued effort with the same steadfastness as Queen Elizabeth II.

Possible last point, the position of Neptune in opposition with the Moon gives William an even more suggestible character, by females in particular; Neptune's disperse effect adds to that of the luminaries on the Descendant and to the predominance of the Western hemisphere of the chart.

A Future Still Hardly Decipherable

In the years ahead, William may have to be patient, because he has no major promising transits in the near future. The year 2022 looks mixed for him, and when Pluto will enter Aquarius, in 2003 (before retrograding later on), it is possible that he will need to reconsider some of his ambitions. Since Jupiter might be the planet triggering his ascent to the throne, we note that he will not transit the most sensitive zones of the sky map before June 2025.

Even at that moment, such transit will take place in a disrupted context. Therefore, it is unreliable to put forward a prognosis, or even a timing, because in the meantime too many events may occur regarding his ascent to the throne of England.

As a conclusion, it is necessary to underline the excellent potential of this natal chart, which is far from being exploited to the full.
