This
is one of four astrology articles I have written about the Royal
Family of Great Britain.The
other two articles are: Prince Charles, horoscope,
king, Queen Elizabeth
II, horoscope, futureand Princess
Diana & Prince Charles.
The articles contain
astrology research, which reveals the end of the reign of Queen
Elizabeth II of Great Britain and the ascent of her son Charles, the
Prince of Wales, as King.
The
Royal Family of Great Britain has many strange characters within its
family tree, especially within George I of
England-Hanover's side.
Summary
I
have researched the changes of Monarch within
the Royal
Family going as far back as 1760. Almost invariably Saturn Neptune
transits are
very much associated with these changes.
There have been only
three Saturn Neptune oppositions since 1899
A.
Feb 1899-Oct 1900: Queen Victoria, Monarch for
over 63
years, died three months after the last transit, on 22 Jan 1901.
See section 4 below.
B.
Mar 1936-Jan 1937: Edward VIII became King in
January and
abdicated in December! See section 2 below.
C.
Jun 1971-Apr 1972: there were no times here
where any
stations (where the aspect or angle between the planets were very
close). Both
in the 1899-1900 and 1936-37 powerful stations took place, which
significantly
intensified their effect. I am unaware of whether the Queen was sick
during
this time.
The next Saturn
Neptune opposition will be: Sep 2006, Feb, Apr 2007. During this time,
or
within the next 12 months thereafter, it is highly likely the Monarchy
of Great Britain will change hands.
1. Coronation of
Queen Elizabeth II, 2 June 1953
Saturn conjunct Neptune, Nov 1952 stationary May-Jul 1953.
Being crowned in such a tragic time has had its consequences
for the Queen. The tragedy of Charles and Diana’s marriage is but an
example.
The Queen
has Saturn square Neptune
in her horoscope, so personal emotional depression is in her genes.
People who
have depressive traits, (such as Saturn Neptune in their horoscopes)
get
married, get pregnant and so on during times of major depression in
their
lives.
1A. The Queen’s
Marriage
So
when the Queen got married on 20
Nov 1947 transiting
Saturn in Leo was
conjunct her Neptune (stationary Nov-Dec 1947)!
This
shows great depression during the monthbefore and after her marriage. Something that begins in a tragic
time,
stays tragic.
Sadly, Princess
Margaret had transiting Saturn in Capricorn sesqui quadrate her
Neptune
during the month before and after her wedding to Antony Armstrong-Jones
on 06 May 1960. If
you wish to know how
bad the marriages of the Royal Family are, read my book Hohenzollern.
Tragic Private Lives about their German ancestors, the
Houses of Hanover and
Hohenzollern (1580-1780).
So why did the Queen marry in 1947? She had transiting Pluto
in Leo (stationary Feb to Jun 1970) conjunct her Moon, ruler of her 7th
house.
Major change (Pluto) in her emotional life (Moon) leading to marriage
(Moon
rules 7th house of marriage). Sadly, in 1946-47 she had transiting
Neptune
(stationary Oct 1946-Mar 1947, Aug 1947) in Libra semi square (450)
her Saturn as she courted her fiancée and planned their
marriage. Saturn
Neptune shows a time of great sadness, of family crisis, of emotional
sickness.
But that is what the Queen was born with, she just continued the
inherited
bahaviour of her forebears. The Solar Eclipse @ 20 Scorpio on 12 Nov 1947 was conjunct
the Queen’s
Saturn, ruler of her two personal points, her Ascendant and her MC.
Major
change (eclipse), through sense of duty (Saturn) in her environment and
public
image (Ascendant).
2. Coronation of
George VI, 12 May 1937
Saturn opposition Neptune, Mar 1936, close opposition Oct
1936 to Jan 1937.
During the 1936 Saturn Neptune opposition, Edward VIII
became King (20 Jan 1936
to
11 Dec 1936). With
the
opposition beginning in March 1936, and extremely close in late 1936,
he
abdicated on 11 December. He is the ONLY Sovereign in English
history
to do so!
Such is the power of Saturn Neptune
transits on the Royal Family! It changes the Monarch!
3. Coronation of
George V, 22
June 1911
Saturn was closely square to Neptune
between Aug to Nov 1909 to Jan 1910.
King Edward VIII died on 6 May
1910. This is just three months after the Saturn
Neptune square.
4. Coronation of
Edward VIII, 26
June 1902
Uranus opposition Pluto, stationary Jan-April 1901
Saturn opposition Neptune (stationary Feb to Apr, Dec
1899, stationary Aug-Oct 1900) Queen Victoria
ruled Britain
for longer than any other monarch, over 63 years between 1837 and 22 Jan 1901, when she died.
She died
three months after the Saturn Neptune opposition. She also died during
a mighty
Uranus opposition Pluto in January 1901. Uranus Pluto is the collapse
of the
old order of things, the building up of a new order. It took such
mighty power
to remove Queen Victoria!
5. Coronation of
Queen Victoria, 20
June 1837
Saturn square Neptune, stationary Dec 1835 to Feb 1836,
Sep 1836.
William IV died on 20 June
1837 nine months after the Saturn Neptune transit. Sometimes
the transit takes some time to work.
6. Coronation of
William IV, 8
Sep 1831
Saturn sesqui quadrate (135 degrees) Neptune
in mid Sep 1831
The Saturn Neptune transit occurred within a week of the
coronation.
7. Coronation of
George IV, 19
Jul 1821
Saturn square Neptune, May 1819, Mar 1820.
George III died 29 Jan 1820
towards the end of the Saturn Neptune square.
8. Coronation of
George III, 22
Sep 1761
Saturn sesqui quadrate (135 degrees) Neptune,
Apr, Sep 1761 The coronation occurred within a week of the exact aspect
between Saturn and Neptune. Saturn Neptune relates to serious
mental illness, mental
instability and depression. George had recurrent lapses of mental
illness. It
got so bad that he could not perform his duties for the last 9 years of
his
reign. If you get married, or set up a business, or similar during
difficult astrology times the result will be the same as George’s
reign, very
sad and negative indeed.
