The King has his natal Sun in the sign of Scorpio, his Moon in Taurus and his Ascendant in Leo, so extremely stubborn and very tenacious. People born under the influence of the Fixed Signs always have a vested interest in the future. This is very evident from Charles' ecological connections. Long before it became 'trendy' to be green, he had been environmentally friendly for decades, ahead of the curve and leading the way.
His natal Sun in Scorpio and the 4th house indicates early struggles against the family background and a difficult relationship with his father. Although King Charles seems outwardly tough and shrewd, he is very emotional and sentimental. Extremely intuitive, he is also nurturing and protective of those he cares about. The Sun in a square aspect to Pluto indicates that he will often have power struggles with other influential people and authority figures.
With his natal Moon in Taurus and the 9th house, King Charles is down-to-earth, practical and values stability. He remains calm in a crisis and like his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, he has tremendous stoicism. As the Moon is the ruling planet of his natal 12th house and situated in the 9th, it's easy to see how this manifests as a spiritual affinity with the customs and cultures of foreign lands.
The Moon opposite Mercury in his natal chart shows that the King is full of common sense, and is very perceptive with excellent language skills. Quick witted and humorous, he comes across as a normally quiet and introspective person but will become very talkative and entertaining in the presence of others. The Moon opposite Mercury brings conflict between thoughts and feelings, or logic and intuition. His heart may say one thing, but his head will say another. This inability to find inner balance could, at times, make him very sensitive and anxious,
With his natal Moon in a trine aspect to Saturn, the King is loyal and down-to-earth. This positive planetary combination indicates a strong sense of duty. Conversely, his Moon in a sextile aspect to Uranus shows that he is original, unorthodox, progressive and offbeat. He is a curious blend of old and modern, ancient and futuristic, traditional and unconventional.

The King's natal Moon is conjunct the North Node. For someone destined to have a life in the public eye, this is an excellent combination. The Moon symbolises the people, the population, society at large and the North Node represents the zeitgeist. He has an intuitive feeling for what people want and is very sensitive to his public reputation.
There will be a Lunar Eclipse in Scorpio on 5th May - the day before the Coronation of King Charles III. He was born under this influence but in reverse - Sun in Scorpio, Moon in Taurus. Major royal occasions such as births, marriages and coronations take place on, or around, the date of an eclipse. This eclipse takes place on trigger degrees which activate the World Points. These are situated from 13° - 18° of the Fixed Signs, and on this occasion, 14° Taurus and Scorpio. Therefore, the Lunar Eclipse will not only have an important effect globally but also personally, as the King has three planets positioned at World Points and his natal Pluto also on a trigger degree at 16 Leo. A very powerful influence.
The King will also have a Nodal Return in the week leading up to his Coronation and these nodes will be square the position of the nodes on the Coronation day of HM Queen Elizabeth II. An interesting case of one person's fate intersecting with another. Significant moments of inevitability are marked by Nodal Returns and they are associated with powerful events and feelings that herald a turning point in personal destiny. Charles' destiny. is being fulfilled. This was meant to be.
