Prince Harry - Part 2

When the planets - transits, progressions, solar arcs, etc - make aspects to the natal chart, they don't just predict events and experiences, they also reveal the psychology behind it, and the current behaviour and emotions coming into play as the result of new, albeit temporary, planetary influences. This, I suspect, is the reason for Prince Harry's out-of-character display over the last three years.

Harry's Progressed Mars began to conjunct his natal Ascendant in 2019. When any planet - transiting, solar arc, progression, etc conjuncts a personal point in the chart - and the Ascendant is the most personal of all - it tends to alter the attitude and outlook of that person as well as bringing changes to their image.

 Progressed Mars has created a very stressful state of mind leading Harry to become argumentative, abrasive and prone to making rash decisions. He will feel a sense of urgency and the need to prepare the ground for future action, but  there could be setbacks through upsetting others. A spirit of compromise will be required to head off conflicts. He is angry and this is what has been driving him headlong into constant trouble throughout the last three years. This influence is coming to a gradual end during 2023. The question is: Will his antagonistic attitude ease off when the aggressive influence of Mars is no longer around to trigger it? 

Transiting Uranus has been in an opposition aspect to Harry's natal Midheaven since May 2022 and won't be leaving until mid-March 2024. When a planet is opposite the Midheaven it is conjunct the Immum Coeli (IC) which is the most private personal point in the chart. This is the point at the base of the chart which symbolises the most important and fundamental areas of your life - home and family. I'm sure I don't need to tell you what a transit to the IC from Uranus the planet of chaos means. As we have seen and will continue to see for some time to come, his unreasonable outlook has turned his private life upside down. He is cut off and rebelling against his family, attempting to discredit and dismantle everything that has made him who he is. One thing's for sure, this won't end well and it won't end anytime soon.

Transiting Neptune began to oppose Harry's natal Sun in mid-April 2021. Lasting until mid-February 2023, this influence will have been quite challenging as the result of misunderstandings, fear or mistrust. Honesty may have been hard to come by during this period and there will have been many deceptions and delusions along the way. The structures that he has built up in his life were challenged by circumstances which forced him to make a lot of changes. 

Harry's natal Pluto will be hit by three major transiting planets which are changing signs in 2023: An opposition from Jupiter which will bring the urge to drastically change his circumstances in some way, a trine from Saturn which will herald the end of a chapter in his life and the need to start aiming for more self-control, and a square from Pluto which is a generational influence, one of the first 'Mid-Life Crisis' aspects. A Fixed Sign T-Square configuration comprising Mars, Jupiter and Pluto will rattle his chart in the week from the 18th - 25th May by squaring his natal Pluto. This will trigger a ruthless attitude either from him, or towards him.

Harry's Solar Arc Sun changed signs in April 2022 and is now positioned at 0° Scorpio where it will be conjunct his natal Pluto until 2024. This is a powerful planetary combination linked with events that bring about a major change of direction in life. Discovering and following his true vocation will be a challenge for Harry as there may be organised opposition to his schemes and plans. He should concentrate on raising his level of awareness rather than indulging in power games. External forces may appear to obstruct his path and dealings with others will be intense. In seeking to become more influential he may risk overestimating his strengths and might need to face his own less pleasant personality traits. There is a real danger of becoming stressed and fanatical. 

With his Progressed Midheaven in a square aspect to his natal Sun until 2024, he may find the road to success becoming much harder.. Although he has an arrogant belief in his own abilities, setbacks will lead to a loss of confidence. He will identify strongly with issues concerning another person, or group of people, but a temptation to hijack the spotlight might land him in trouble.

In his Solar Return chart for the period up to his next birthday, the Initial Indicators are the letters O and S. After his birthday in September 2023, the letters will be I and S. These letters represent people, places or products that will be relevant in his life. I'm assuming the 'S' will include the title of his autobiography - 'Spare'. But it will also be connected other things too. So, keep a lookout and let me know what you find.

Harry's autobiography 'Spare' is officially published today. At this moment in time, transiting Mars is in opposition to his natal Uranus. A very explosive influence which will bring many repercussions over the coming months.
