Prince Philip

Water and earth take three of his ten planets each, with two apiece in fire and air, and five of the ten are mutable. Nothing in this chart was retrograde and it holds no closed figure of any kind. The record says Philip was born a prince of Greece and Denmark and evacuated in a fruit box, served at Cape Matapan, then spent seventy three years as consort, and founded an award scheme millions have done.

The Sun sits square Saturn at under two thirds of a degree, the closest contact here, and the reading is identity meeting a rule that will not move: self-doubt, delay, and a difficult or absent authority, with the standing consolation that what gets built under this aspect tends to last. Seventy three years as a consort is a role defined by a rule that will not move, because the rule is the whole of the position: the one thing a consort cannot be is the monarch. That is the plainest fit in this batch and also the one a reader could have guessed from the job title alone.

The consolation clause is the half with evidence behind it. The record's last fact is an award scheme millions of people have completed, built by somebody whose constitutional position was to have no position, and lasting is exactly what it did. Jupiter sits in quiet contact with Neptune at under nine tenths of a degree, generous imagination: vision, artistic scope, and an ability to inspire other people, which for a scheme aimed at teenagers is the contact that meets the fact.

Jupiter sits in direct opposition to Uranus at just over a degree, growth arriving disruptively: opportunity that costs stability, and restlessness that discards something workable for something merely new, which a man who stayed in one role for seventy three years contradicts about as flatly as it can be contradicted. The Moon's sign is certain at sixteen degrees of Leo, which expects to be watched. He died at Windsor on 9 April 2021, at ninety nine. Uranus stood sixty degrees from its own natal place at under a fifth of a degree that day and Saturn opposite his natal Neptune at under four tenths. The Moon was balsamic and seven per cent lit, a phase that finishes things, lets them go, and is already looking past them.
