I was initially monitoring around Feb 9 - looking for some fluctuation or unexpected news as Charles' Year Point in Taurus passed the opposition to the Venus/Jupiter conjuntion of his Solar Return, located in Scorpio. This coincided with the YearPoint passing Uranus in the Solar Return of William. Well, eyes are still open.

Charles' Year Point came to 24Taurus on Feb 12 (close Algol) and square detrimented Saturn, in Leo in the first house, and who is ruler of the 7th house - representing his spouse, Camilla. Breaking news is that Camilla is going under the knife and having a hysterectomy (removing of the womb)!

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 and the topic reappears throughout the year through various challenges, and in particular when the Year Point reaches the hard aspect of Saturn around May 13, Aug 12 and Nov 12.

Feb 22: The Ministry of Defence confirms that Prince Harry is to do active service in Iraq. This news comes as Prince Charles Year Point is 14Taurus and has just passed the opposition of Mars at 15SC11 !!

Comparing with the news of Camilla's hysterectomy coming on Feb 12. as Charles' Year Point was 24Taurus and square Saturn at 24Leo!

I do claim that the family is stirred and a forshadow of things to come!

I do stress again that if Charles' denouncement of the throne does come, this may simply be the conclusion after an evaluation of the right thing to do and a matter of priorities. There is likely to be new focus on the structure of the Royal family in conjunction with the 10 year marking of the death of Diana. This could put pressure on Charles and Camilla. Stepping aside and making William next in line to be King would give the matter an entirely new focus.

Hi All,
I have been following this thread with interest, and wanted to give some feedback on Andrew's prognosis of a stir up within the royal famly.

Firstly, Bernadette Brady and Darrelyn Gunzberg issue the Visual Astrology Newletter (VAN), and this month's issue is all about the lunar eclipse being near the star Regulus and a possible stir up within the royal family - a European one. It also carries an article about Prince William, and some of the parans that his planets make to some fixed stars.

When I read it (you can subscribe to it by going to the www.zyntara.com website - it's free!) I recalled Andrew's post and thought I'd let you know.

My own feeling is that Prince Harry's natal chart is worth looking at - he's about to go off to Iraq and Al Qaeda has promised to kill him. Should William become first in line to the throne, that would make Harry second in line, and Iraq, I imagine, would be off limits for him.

The upcoming solar eclipse does hit Harry's chart by opposition, though an orb of 6 degrees may a little too wide for some.

I hope my post makes sense, as I tend to be a little vague when jumping to conclusions (the only exercise I get nowadays what with all the exam marking I'm doing : )

Thanks to Sisi for this entry! Brady has a highly interesting newsletter here on the 'Blood moon over Europe' and ' Shuffling of Crowns'. The Norwegian newspaper 'Aftenposten' reported on March 3. (the same day as the lunar eclipse) that the ex-wife of the Danish Prince Joachim, Princess Alexandra, had remarried to her new husband, Martin Joergensen, on this very day, meaningen that Alexandra no longer could hold the title as princess but from here on would be referred to as Countess. Alexandra has two sons with Prince Joachim, prins Nikolai ( 8 ) og prins Felix (4). Link to newsreport of AFP her: http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070303/en ... 0303195408 . As a matter of 'coincedence', this remarrying of Alexandra occurs at the same time as riots and violence in the streets of Copenhagen.

The Norwegian Princess Martha Louise also married on the same day as a lunar eclipse (referred to at http://www.astronor.com/denouncement.htm ) and the first thing that happened after being wed was the denouncement of her royal titles. While examining this line of thought and the possible developments of the European Royal families - there is the tension of the lunar eclipse on the day that Martha Louise wed her Ari, together with the Age Point of Martha Louise changing sign, entering Gemini and squaring her radix Sun and Pluto through the months of Spring '07 (charts at http://www.astronor.com/miscella.htm ).

Turning to Prince Charles, I will be updating my article at http://www.astronor.com/denouncement.htm with links to relevant newspaper reports as they come in. I have tried to introduce the reader to the Year Point (direct link http://www.astronor.com/ap8a.htm ) and showed how Camilla's hysterectomy was announced as Charles YP was opposite Algol and square Saturn, how Harry announced to go to war in Iraq as Charles' YP opposed Mars, and Charles' YP opposed the fall of the Moon (conjunct the exaltation degree of the Moon - but this is something that involves someone else, hence the opposition) as Camilla actually has her operation. It is my opinion that these phenomena are shadows of things in development further down the line.

Now Charles YP will enter Aries on March 8. (approximately). This is interesting but could in an unfortunate manner be more crucial in terms of the title of the article in Brady's newsletter. Aries is the sign of Mars, the exaltation of the Sun and the triplicity of Jupiter. All these 3 planets are in Scorpio in the 4th house of Charles' solar return. Both Jupiter and Mars are combust - which on the mild side could indicate some withdrawal while Camilla is due to recuperation. But then Mars is 15 degrees Scorpio and in the Heart (or on the very tail) of the Scorpion and could easily have a rash or rather violent meaning. Mars is the dominating planet and when the YP opposed Mars, Harry announced that he wanted to go to war. So the sense of security of the Royal family is at risk - or maybe there is a reshuffling of positions or priorities as so neatly demonstrated in Brady's newsletter.

As Charles' Year Point enters Aries, first the Prince of Wales is fronting a dart campaign. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jh ... arts10.xml
Next, Channel 4 releases a documentary that challenges whether the Prince is found fit to be King. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6442109.stm

I continue to update the astrology on http://www.astronor.com/denouncement.htm

Andrew, I wonder if he does come to that decision would he make it public unless necessary? I mean it is something for which you might not want to mention unless say your mother died? regardless of whether he wanted the throne or not, William would certainly continue to be trained to the position... okay just thinking out loud, its one of the things that drives me nuts, finding out years later I was right aobut a decision that was not made public.

Saw a snippet about P.William this morning and wondered if it was playing into this theme somehow... thought I'd bring it up. Granny

The debate as to who is Harry's father flourishes up again. Link: http://www.tmz.com/2007/06/14/prince-ha ... -my-daddy/ I first saw this notice appear in Norwegian Press on July 24. - but on July 14. when tmz.com printed their story, Charles' Year Point has recently passed over Pluto (DNA test?) in the 5th house of children in Charles' Solar return and has reached 22 Sagittarius, which is precisely on the cusp of the 5th. My story on this is updated at http://www.astronor.com/denouncement.htm

In past history this situation has been alleviated by the parent declaring the child theirs, has something happened to change that? I would be shocked if Charles did not just declare Harry his as whatever he is as a marriage partner, he has generally been a good parent.

Granny

Not trying to judge on that one. Just go with the flow of the chart. If anything - in the solar return of Charles the lord of the 5th, being Jupiter, is in conjunction with Venus, the star of existance, in it's place of fall and dispute in Scorpio. This is located in the 4th house of the solar return - meaning that the opposition to the Midheaven opposes the reputation or official standing of Charles.

The reason for me bringing this story forward is in attempt to try and map what is actually going on throughout the year - and whether this could give some clue of what leads up to my original prediction.

I was thinking about your original prediction and about that family and had a few thoughts. Charles is approching a time many people retire from working life, and his eldest Son is getting old enough to handle the strain of Monarchy and is liked by the people of Britain, where he is not necessarily especially AS highly regarded?

I'm just trying to put into words the view I have of the situation, Though he might want to wait until William is a few years older, 27-30 perhaps? (Saturn years)

Granny

Wow interesting. I have read some things about that since Prince William was born on a Solar Eclipse, stating that is a sign the end of the monarchy. Well with Pluto in Capricorn and going between 0 degrees and 1 degree until 2009 and Saturn opposition Uranus in late 2008 and 2009 could be a possibility. I?m just saying that since Capricorn=Saturn and at 0 degrees I have read ?Reflecting involvement with authorities at the government level and legal systems being questioned? then on top of that Pluto transformation, guess we shall see.
