Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Welcome to the world, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor!\u00a0 He is already creating controversy over his first name Archie, so could be an exciting addition to our royal family.\u00a0 He was born apparently at the Portland Clinic in London, and not at home in Windsor as planned, so could be full of surprises!\u00a0 But his mother Meghan has already pronounced him to be calm, with “the sweetest temperament”, both adjectives which can be applied to his Sun sign Taurus. The royal couple, Harry and Meghan decided to include the name Mountbatten in the mix, and there is a link with Lord Louis Mountbatten in that his Mars is conjunct with Archie’s Part of Fortune, so perhaps Archie has this ancestor watching over him.\u00a0 His chart also has very positive ties to that of his grandmother Diana Princess of Wales, so again she will be cheering him on from the other side (this includes a telepathic link of her Mercury to his Uranus).<\/p>\n

Archie is a double Taurean, in that his Sun sign and Ascendant are in that sign, so he would have many of its traits.\u00a0 His Sun is rising close to the Ascendant (within one degree, in the 1st House), and as the Sun represents the father in the birthchart this depicts very well a prominent royal father (the Sun). Taurus as Sun\/Ascendant\u00a0 highlights many talents such as growing things, connection with the Earth, and musical and artistic expression.\u00a0 Sun in Taurus inclines towards the Arts in general, and specifically fine art, sculpture and pottery.\u00a0 The Sun rising brings in an interest in addition for drama and the performing arts.\u00a0 There is a sensuality about this sign which inclines to his being a naturally \u201ctouchy feely\u201d person\u201d.\u00a0 Mum Meghan will probably be into baby massage which would foster this.<\/p>\n

He has his Moon placed at 0 degrees Gemini: According to “Star Names for Baby” by Dan Crawford, the name Archibald comes under this sign. The name means “bold”, and he says it depicts one who will take chances.\u00a0 Like both the Queen and Prince Phillip, Archie has his Saturn conjunct his Midheaven (Careerpoint), so duty and tradition will be an important value to him.\u00a0 This is emphasized by being in the sign of Capricorn, and also being conjunct his South Node, showing that this trait is established through past life links.<\/p>\n

Mercury conjunct Uranus and trine Jupiter implies an original, wide, free-ranging mind, and ability to pick up information.\u00a0 A great deal of curiosity here, and a love of travel and interest in other cultures, and philosophy.\u00a0 It also shows a good business acumen, and entrepreneurial skill.\u00a0 He’ll receive a good education and is likely to be poly-lingual.<\/p>\n

He has some reserved traits (double Taurus, plus Venus square Saturn) but also has a sociable Venus\/Jupiter trine and the Sun rising, so he may express both extraversion and introversion, perhaps wearing different hats or masks for different situations.\u00a0 With the Sun, Part of Fortune\/Moon in the 1st House his personality will always attract attention, but having Venus and Mercury\/Uranus in 12th House he will also very much have a private side to his life.\u00a0 Mars exactly opposite Jupiter suggests extreme enthusiasm, for example in certain sports or as a collector (they fall across his 2nd and 8th Houses).<\/p>\n

Relationship with Harry<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There’s an extremely dynamic and energetic link between Archie and his father Harry, as\u00a0 Harry’s Sun forms a T-square with Archie’s exact opposition between Mars and Jupiter.\u00a0 Harry’s Sun trines Archie’s Pluto, so Archie will have a profound and life-changing effect on Harry.\u00a0 Archie’s North Node sextile’s Harry’s Moon, so that shows a family karmic link, likely to originate in past lives.\u00a0 Archie’s Uranus trines Harry’s Jupiter, so he may be dynamically involved in some of Harry’s projects.\u00a0 Harry’s Saturn is exactly opposite baby’s Ascendant, and therefore Harry may be quite a disciplinarian in their relationship.<\/p>\n

Relationship with Meghan<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Mother Meghan has Mercury trine her baby’s Chiron, so will be very much in tune with his needs, and in particular his health.\u00a0 Her Pluto squares Archie’s Nodal Axis, so there is strong karma to be enacted between them.\u00a0 Her Sun in Leo squares his Taurean Ascendant, and that might result in a clash of wills when he is older.\u00a0 She may experience him as placid now, but he will have strong ideas of his own as he grows up. His Chiron is also exactly opposite her Moon, so emotionally he will have her on her toes from the outset.\u00a0 But, love overcomes all, especially mother love, and her Venus is trine his Ascendant.<\/p>\n

Relationship with Prince Charles<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Just as Harry’s Sun trines Archie’s Pluto, so Prince Charles’ Sun sextiles Archie’s Pluto, and Archie will also have a profound and life-changing effect on his grandfather Charles.\u00a0 Archie’s North Node closely trines Charles’ Sun, and that is a close karmic link.\u00a0 Charles has Jupiter trine Archie’s Mercury, and so will be a factor in his education, and in expanding his knowledge, reinforcing Archie’s own natal Mercury-Jupiter trine.\u00a0 Prince Charles also has his Ascendant trine the baby’s Chiron, and this soul may share some of Charles’ alternative views about healing, nature and anthropology.<\/p>\n

Relationship with the Queen<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Being the same Sun sign of Taurus gives the two a natural affinity, and in addition Archie’s Mercury falls close to his great-grandmother’s\u00a0 Sun.\u00a0 His Chiron falls exactly on her Mercury, so mentally he will help her to see life differently, with new eyes. They have a splendid sextile between their Jupiters, so will feel uplifted in each other’s presence.\u00a0 Her Pluto sextiles his Ascendant, so he will feel the weight of her history and role (in a constructive way).\u00a0 His Saturn\/South Node falls on her Ascendant, so she will also keenly feel the sense of his serious purpose in coming into the world.\u00a0 There will be some element of the male side of his energy which will remind her of her own husband, Prince Phillip, as Phillip’s Mars is exactly conjunct that of Archie in the sign of Gemini.\u00a0 Perhaps Archie will inherit his great grandfather’s mischievous streak.<\/p>\n

Aspects<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We may have made solid gains with yesterday’s Sun\/Saturn trine, and may consolidate them when the Sun trines Pluto on Tuesday (14th).\u00a0 So these three days (11th – 14th) have that potential, of the combined power of Saturn and Pluto supporting us to make real progress.\u00a0 You may have been working along some lines or on a particular project, and have felt it to be a real hard slog.\u00a0 You may even have felt that you haven’t got very far, but may receive an indication in this period that you have done better than you thought, or that a pipe dream could become a going concern.<\/p>\n

Around lunchtime the same day, Venus sextiles Mars.\u00a0 Saturn and Pluto are both serious dudes, but Venus and Mars may introduce some more lighthearted frivolity.\u00a0 Your project may be acceptable and adequate and on firmer ground, but maybe you can introduce some artistry or romance.\u00a0 Or maybe you take a break from the serious stuff, and join a social whirl or a coffee shop outing with friends.<\/p>\n

Moving on to Wednesday (15th) we see Venus coming home to Taurus, which gives a feeling of “all’s right with the world”.\u00a0 Gardens flourish, money grows, arts are created, music is expressed, and there are sighs of satisfaction.\u00a0 Venus is here until 8th June.<\/p>\n

Sweet music continues on Thursday (16th) but of a more cerebral kind, as Mercury sextiles Neptune.\u00a0 The inspiration is certainly there, but its application may be less earthy and more ethereal.\u00a0 You may play around with mystical possibilities, for example.<\/p>\n

Mars also enters Cancer that day, and may see you putting more effort into family affairs, or being protective of others.\u00a0 Nurturing instincts and nest building are to the fore.\u00a0 Mars is here until 1st July.<\/p>\n

Thursday may be an eventful and productive day.\u00a0 The next aspect occurring is Mercury sextile the North Node, bringing karmic information to light.\u00a0 Communication is highly significant and imbued with meaning, though subject to differing interpretations according to belief.\u00a0 It is a good day for teaching, tutoring and revising for forthcoming exams, so if this is a goal in your life pencil out the day in your diary for that purpose.<\/p>\n

Lastly, and late in the day (in the last hour), Mercury trines Saturn, and you could really feel you accomplished something today.\u00a0 It may be right down there in black and white, on paper, or on your computer screen.\u00a0 You might even feel a last minute spurt of\u00a0 mental energy carrying you through to midnight or beyond.\u00a0 An odd late night won’t hurt you, not if it is so worthwhile or productive.\u00a0 It is a good time to assess what you have achieved and what you plan to do for the next stage of your work or project.<\/p>\n

Mental activity is still supported on Saturday (18th) with this time Pluto trine Mercury, deepening the nature of the work and thought and giving it a more psychological slant.\u00a0 Conversations could be life changing: the right word at the right time, striking home in the right place.<\/p>\n

From mid-afternoon things are more capricious, with an exciting conjunction between Venus and Uranus pepping up your social life.\u00a0 It is time to take another little break from work, see who’s in town, and seek out new experiences.<\/p>\n

It’s also a time to look within and examine your emotional health.\u00a0 The evening belongs to the Scorpio Full Moon, and you will need to be in touch with your deepest emotions and be constructively authentic.\u00a0 There may be a focus on shared finances and an attempt to balance material resources and needs between two people.\u00a0 There may be a need for collective decisions going forward, so everybody involved needs to be clear about how they really feel.<\/p>\n
