Yes, I've finally got around to posting some more about the royal wedding.
For reference, here are the relevant data.
Prince William: 21st June 1982, 20:03 GMT
Kate Middleton: 9th January 1982
Their wedding: all things being equal, 29th April 2011, 11:00 am (notice, we
now have a time!)
Composite chart for the two of them: Sun 10 Ari/Lib, Moon 6-13 Can, Mer 6
Ari, Ven 1 Ari, Mar 9 Lib, Jup 4 Sco, Sat 18 Lib, Ura 2 Sag, Nep 25 Sag, Plu
25 Lib, NN 19 Can. I've given two possibilities for the Sun because when
the two Suns are almost opposed, as they are here, one midpoint is almost as
good as the other. 10 Ari is slightly closer to the two Suns than 10 Lib,
but there's only a few degrees in it.
This time I'm looking at the compatibility of the happy couple's charts.
I've not had much practice at synastry, but the aspects between the charts
look excellent to me. I can't be sure about her Moon, because I don't have
her birth time. But it could just be conjunct his - if not, it's at least
in the same sign. Possibly trine his Jupiter, too, or sextile his Venus
(can't be both). And it could well be conjunct his Sun, a well-known
indication for a marriage. Apart from these, I'm sticking to very close
aspects - 2º or less.
Mars features quite often, but in a good way. Her Mars is closely conjunct
his, which seems as good a placing as any. Although there ought to be
plenty of energy in this relationship, hopefully not too much of it will be
aimed at each other's heads. Naturally the planets beyond Mars are all
conjunct too, since there's only six months between the charts. His Mercury
is trine her Mars, and vice versa. Their Mercuries are also trine each
other, making for a rewarding and energetic relationship on a mental level.
It looks as if they can hope for a good friendship as well as a good
marriage - although with his Mercury and Mars both trine her Venus, among
other things, they're in no danger of being "just good friends"!
The Moon's Nodes have a few promising aspects too. The two NNs are just
about conjunct, within 8º. His SN is within 4º of her Sun, while his NN is
definitely within 8º of her Moon and could be closer. Her NN is sextile his
Venus, within 2º. What all this means depends what you think of the Nodes.
Now for the bad news, but there's not very much of it.
IF William's Mars squares Kate's Moon, the danger is that too much
self-assertion or combativeness on his part hurts her feelings -
particularly sensitive in this case, since her Moon is in Cancer. Her Mars
certainly squares his Moon (5º), so the same goes the other way. It's
particularly interesting in this case, since they (probably) both have a
Moon-Mars square in their birth charts - suggesting that sometimes their OWN
aggression can jar on them. On the up-side, Davison ("Synastry") considers
this a good aspect for, ahem, physical attraction.
His MC squares her Mercury and Venus. I think I can guess what THAT means.
The British royal family is a dreadful warning to those who want to be
famous. This engagement has already been postponed once because Kate
couldn't stand the way the press were behaving. That's not going to go
away, though hopefully she's getting more used to it by now. These aspects
imply rather succintly that this level of fame/notoriety would be an ordeal
to anyone with a heart and a brain! Aquarius indicates an independent
character in both that won't take it well at all.
A few quincunxes and semisextiles are also present, but I won't go into
detail because none are much emphasised and I'm not sure what any of them
mean.
But overall, they seem a fine match, if a bit sparky. (And they'll need all
the spark they can get, with the media circus that's coming to them). The
composite chart, on the other hand... well, I'll deal with that later.
