Queen Rania of Jordan

Queen Rania of Jordan is a campaigner on education as well as a queen, which is a particular combination: an inherited platform used for a chosen argument.

She was born in Kuwait City on 31 August 1970, to a Palestinian family, with four planets grouped in Virgo: the Sun, the Moon, Mercury and Pluto, across twenty six degrees. Virgo is doing the thing properly and being useful, with genuine skill and real modesty about it, and a cost that falls hardest on the standard applied to oneself. Having both lights plus speech inside it describes somebody whose instinct is competence rather than ceremony, which is an awkward instinct in a monarchy and a very useful one in a campaign.

Earth takes five of the ten with a single one in fire. That is a practical, material, unshowy distribution and not what a public role of that kind usually runs on.

Mars squares Neptune two minutes of arc from exact, the tightest aspect in the chart. Drive against the planet of image: effort aimed at something that will not hold still, and the standing difficulty of being seen as a picture rather than as a position. For a woman whose photograph is a diplomatic instrument whether she likes it or not, that aspect is doing a great deal of work. Mercury makes easy contact with the same Neptune, so speech gets on with the image even while the drive is fighting it, which is a workable arrangement for a queen with a campaign and an impossible one for a private person.

Her Moon is on the first degree of Virgo or the last of Leo, undetermined, which leaves the private half genuinely open between display and service. Nothing on the public record settles it either.

Jupiter arrived back at its starting degree in October 2017, at forty seven. On a chart this Virgo, a year of expansion means more to administer rather than more to be.
