Eclipsed
Tuesday’s Solar eclipse at 27′ Aquarius has picked up the Royal Family’s dance with eclipses, so many Royal events coincided with eclipses. There is a great podcast on this from the Astrology Podcast1 But a brief note, Charles III was born on an eclipse, married on an eclipse, separated on an eclipse, Diana died on an eclipse, William was born on an eclipse, Charles was crowned on an eclipse, Kate was also born on an eclipse. Elizabeth II ascended to throne on an eclipse and was crowned on an eclipse. How long the effects an eclipse last is up for discussion, but for me, the crucial times is around 14 days before and afterwards the eclipse although the effects last much longer afterwards.
On February 19th ex royal Andrew Windsor has been arrested for Misconduct in a Public Office an offense which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
The astrology is fantastic. The Moon, the fastest moving planet is conjunct Andrew’s South Node, the South Node shows past sins catching up with him. Lilith, the planet of female rage, is conjunct Andrew’s Scorpio Moon, Scorpio the sign of rapists, abused victims and women’s justice. The Sun had, earlier moved over Andrew’s Sun, shining a light on him. Mercury had just passed over his natal Mercury, maybe showing Virginia Guiffrey’s voice from the grave (Mercury as psychopomp). Chiron is at 23′ Aries is conjunct his MC, showing irretrievable damage to his public standing. While his Lilith at 14′ Cancer has Jupiter (the planet of justice and the law) sitting on it. Notice also, Uranus currently at 27′ Taurus is opposite his Moon at 25′ Scorpio, the raid was sudden, unannounced, the King was not told, and it is suggested that the arrest was precipitated by the fear Andrew might flee the country and/or destroy documents, all of which are Uranian moves. The element of surprise was on the police’s side.
The eclipse on the 17th of February was at 28’50 Aquarius conjunct Andrew’s MC, his power, his social standing is eclipsed and arguably destroyed for ever, whatever the outcome of any trial. The Royals have always been protected by the police, but clearly here, a nod was given to remove that covert protection and throw him to the wolves. It is sad of course, that it is not his alleged sexual crimes that he is arrested for, but possibly the misconduct charge might be easier to convict him on.
Note also, 27′ Aquarius is the degree of Charles’ Part of Fortune, one wonders what Charles imagines this will do for the Crown. A few days ago Charles remarked that he gave his full support to the police in their investigation of any wrongdoing by his brother. Charles’ statement made the same day, suggests his own self interest is uppermost in his mind. We are seeing the true nature of the ‘Firm’ and its members.
I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office. What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities. In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course. As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter. Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all.
Andrew has been thrown under the bus to save the ‘Firm’ in other words. The fact he was arrested on his birthday, does rub salt in the wound.
The next eclipse will be on March 3rd at 13′ Virgo widely opposite Andrew’s Mercury at 17′ Pisces, which is in his 8th house of sex, death and power. Notice the ruler of the 12th house of self-undoing is his Moon in Scorpio (Lilith is transiting this) and Lilith is in the 12th and closely opposite Saturn which rules his 7th house of open enemies. Arguably it was only the late Virginia Guiffrey’s tenacity which brought this about. Saturn also rules the 8th house of sexual crimes. As mentioned above, currently, Jupiter is conjunct his Lilith, the wronged woman has vengeance, female rage will not be silenced. It is only sad that she is not here to see this.
The next eclipse is at 13′ Virgo on March 3rd. Another public figure may also be in the spotlight.
We can only hope the news is just as bad…
