An announcement from Buckingham Palace may occur at any short notice stating that Prince Charles will withdraw from his right to inherit the British throne - and if such news is not immediately forthcoming it is still likely to occur before the year 2007 has passed. This will open the way for the soon 25 year old Prince William, who thus will be first in line take over as Sovereign of the British monarchy after his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.

Pressreports and comments at bottom of page.

This announcement has been lying in the cards for some time. Prince Charles has married twice, first to Lady Diana Spencer on July 31. 1981 - secondly, to Camilla Parker Bowles on April 9. 2005. On both occasions the wedding occurred on the same day as a solar eclipse. The first marriage ended in tragedy, as was indicated by Debbie Kempton Smith in her book "Secrets from a Stargazer's Notebook" (1982). The second marriage will lead to Charles denouncing his right to the throne.

Prince Charles is born Nov. 14. 1948 and has his Sun in Scorpio. Both Diana and Camilla show their Sun in Cancer. In comparison the Norwegian Princess Märtha Louise wed her Ari Behn on May 24.2002, which lies in the shaddow of the lunar eclipse of May 26. Märtha Louise has Sun in Virgo but her Moon is in Scorpio. Ari Behn is born under Libra. His Moon is in Cancer. So the pattern repeats itself – except that the solar eclipse is for the wedding of a prince with emphasis on the Sun signs, the lunar eclipse is for the wedding of a princess with emphasis on the Moon signs. The first thing to occur with the Norwegian Princess in conjunction with her wedding was the denouncement of her Royal titles.

In the Birth chart of Prince Charles, the Sun, who is ruler of the Royal Leo ascendant, is in Scorpio, the sign of abrupt change and correction, and on the cusp of the 5^th house, the house of children. This is William – his first child. The Sun on the cusp of the 5^th does in this chart forward that his son shall be King. Pluto in the 1^st house of Charles indicates profound changes in course of direction in Prince Charles' life. The Sun is also Almuten of the 10^th house by exaltation and face. The 10^th house indicates his public standing, the height and highlight of his life and fated happenings. The Sun as Almuten of the 10^th on the cusp of the 5^th carries his office to his child.

There may be several interesting meanings derived from the presence of Chiron in the 5^th and also Mars, who is the natural ruler of the 10^th house and intercepted in Sagittarius. There has been the discussion of whether Charles was the natural father of Harry. Mars is intercepted in the 5^th, fated circumstances. In the wake of this debate there are two sides to Charles; one that is not at home and wants out, the other which is opposite and is pushed earlier into the foreground.

Neptune angular on the cusp of the 4^th house indicates a disarmament, abdication or retreat from office. Neptune conjunct Venus in Libra opposite the Midheaven, shows that love opposes his office.

The Age Point

The Age Point of Prince Charles moves through the sign of Leo from when the prince is 55 years and 11 months and until he is 60 years and 11 months. This means his Age point entered Leo in October 2003 and will complete the sign and enter Cancer in October 2008. On January 1. 2007 his Age Point is 16LE42 and conjunct the body of Pluto. This would intensify the importance of any correction, course of action or discussion taken at that point of time. However, as long as the Age Point moves through the sign of Leo, Prince Charles may decide to make his break and transfer the virtue, honor and dignity of the heritage onto his son, Prince William.

In the birth chart of Prince William his early ascension to the throne is shown in two ways: 1) Jupiter, who is lord of the ascendant, is retrograde in the first degree of Scorpio and culminating on the cusp of the 10^th house. This indicates an unexpected rearrangement of plans and rise to office. The Midheaven is conjunct the exaltation degree of the Moons South node, which indicates the depression or early withdrawal of his parents: In 2007 it is 10 years since the tragic death of his mother. In 2007 there may also be a rearranging of the family order but here loss is likely to be replaced by honor and dignity. In February 2005, when the marriage of Camilla and the Prince of Wales was announced, it was 7 ½ years since the death of Diana. This transition point in time is of great significance in the Age Point system because it represents the semi-square aspect and is the bisection of the 15year interval of repetition, growth and development.

2) The ruler of the 4^th house, Venus, represents his father, the Prince of Wales. In William's chart Venus is dignified in her own sign, Taurus, but in conjunction with the fixed star Algol. This does not mean that his father, Charles, will loose his head – but his crown may be loose and the presence of Chiron may also indicates an interruption, act of fate or and imposing change of plan.

On January 1. 2007 Williams Age Point is 0LE22 and on the cusp of entering Cancer. When the Age point enters Cancer then things can happen. Cancer contains the Moon who is in her own sign and thus on her throne. Jupiter, who has virtue in Cancer by exaltation, is in Scorpio, retrograde and on the cusp of the MC and may indicate something extraordinary. The Moon is conjunct the Sun, who is ruler of the 8^th, and who indicates change, correction and imposing questions regarding inheritance. Cancer also contains the Moons North node, which signifies opportunity, promotion and the people. Family opportunities and new-forming relationships are also up ahead for this young prince in the period to come. However, when the Age Point enters Cancer it first crosses the degree of Mars' fall at 28 Cancer. This is a degree that generally stirs the family, or may represent some strife or controversy and is valid for the first half of 2007.

The Year Point may be applied to this chart by moving the ascendant clockwise by approximately one degree for each day of the calendar. Using this method Prince Charles’ Year point will enter into Taurus on February 6. 2007 and move through this sign for approximately 30 days until March 8. This passage will activate the application of Venus to Jupiter in Scorpio in the 4^th house and represents the earliest time frame in which an announcement regarding the new order of ascension to the throne may be made known. Taurus is an earth sign and causes the right opportunity for arranging matters of such a practical nature and the Year Point will form the opposition to Venus, Jupiter, the square to Saturn in the 1^st house and the opposition to the Sun fairly early within the period.

The Solar Return for the 24th birthday of Prince William shows a fascinating configuration, involving culmination of the conjunction of the malefics Mars and Saturn close to the cusp of the 10^th house in the Royal sign of Leo. This could definitely show a career development, increase of responsibility or call of duty.

Saturn rules the 4^th house, which represents his father, Prince Charles. Prince Williams’ grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who is the mother of his father, is signified by the Ascendant, since it is the 10^th house from the 4^th, and its lord – who is Mars.

The ruler of the ascendant and the 4^th are on the cusp of the 10^th house in Leo, quite appropriately involving Williams’ father and grandmother. Their conjunction has passed but we find the planets involved in a tight T-square, in fact being the focal point of an opposition between the Moon and Jupiter. The nature of this T-square is such that the Moon translates the light of Saturn on to Mars, Jupiter is retrograde and translates the light of Mars back to Saturn. There is something going on here!! If you care to involve Chiron, then there is a Grand-Cross!! The Moon is in an angular house, in her exaltation and dispositor of the Sun. Jupiter is in his own terms, retrograde and in the 1^st house. Something will be hastened and be brought upon Prince William.

The Year Point

Final considerations - Solar eclipses and Saros cycles

On March 19. 2007 there is a solar eclipse at 28 Pisces. This is conjunct the exaltation degree of Venus but the eclipse more accurately shares in the passionate restlessness by its exact sextile to the exaltation degree of Mars. Fred Espenak of Nasa labels this eclipse to belong of the Saros series 149 that commenced on Aug.21 1664 (our calendar), the initial eclipse occurring at 28 Leo and was conjunct the Royal fixed star Regulus. Regulus may be the cause of a swift and unexpected rise of affairs or rise to power. My interpretation of this eclipse is that the prince who is in love, namely Prince Charles, is an agent for bringing forward the rise of Prince William and his early succession to the throne. The eclipse on March 19.2007 is square the radix ascendant of Prince William. The initiating eclipse of the Saros series occurring on Aug.21.1664 is closely trine the Prince William's ascendant. The eclipse of March 19.2007 is trine the alignment of Venus and Jupiter in Scorpio in the solar return of Prince Charles. On behalf of Charles this question of denouncement seems both a valid and reasonable consideration. He will soon have been married for 2 years, so nothing has been done in haste. It will be 10 years since the death of Diana, so the denouncement might be appropriate in conjunction with and ahead of this marking. So time will show....

The end.

Pressreports & Comments

Mirror.co.uk, Feb 12: CAMILLA TO HAVE HYSTERECTOMY The breaking news of Feb 12 is that Camilla is going under the knife and having a hysterectomy (removing of the womb)! Charles' Year Point had just recently entered a significant time-window and crossed sensitive points on Feb 9!! On Feb 12 the YP came to 24Taurus (close Algol) and square detrimented Saturn (thus configured with Algol), in Leo in the first house, and who is ruler of the 7th house - representing his spouse, Camilla. 

Ouch! That is close to home! Good luck, Camilla! But does this tell us something else about forces at work? My experience tells me that is does. The ball is rolling and the topic is due to reappear throughout the year in various forms. Of particular attention is to watch when the Year Point reaches the hard aspect of Saturn around May 13, Aug 12 and Nov 12.
