What Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte and Prince George’s star signs reveal about them
George: Prince Patriotic
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s first child, Prince George, was born on July 22 2013, which makes his birth sign Cancer, just like his father Prince William and his late grandmother, Princess Diana. Typical traits of those born under this sign are that they’re emotional, intuitive and highly family-oriented. In royal birth charts, Cancer reveals a particular pride in tradition, roots, heritage and the welfare of the country and its population, so young George has the potential to be a very kindly and caring future monarch, a true ‘Prince of the People’ much as Cancerian Princess Diana was dubbed, in her day, ‘The Queen of Hearts’.
With his privacy-loving Scorpio ascendant, however, George may struggle with constantly being under public scrutiny. His Moon in Capricorn shows the necessary strength to rein in his true feelings, but underneath the outwardly perfect princely poker-face there may be grudges or jealousies over the freedom others around him seem to have, that he won’t be able to have due to the pressure on him as third in line to the throne. This may reveal itself more clearly in later years, with comparisons or competitiveness with his more flamboyant and outgoing younger brother Louis.
George has had future greatness and huge responsibilities thrust upon him, rather than having chosen it for himself and, with his Cancer Sun opposing a Capricorn Moon, it’s likely that he’ll always be pulled between his head and his heart. He’ll be creative and kind to others, but not always kind to himself, and may be more a thinker rather than a doer. With Mars, Jupiter and Mercury connected in his chart outspoken George won’t shy away from speaking his truth, but it’s a bonus that he’s surrounded by a family who will give him not just the strong support he needs but the direction and guidance he will need to nail his future role.
Charlotte: Princess Perky
Next in line to the throne after her brother George is William and Kate’s daughter, Princess Charlotte, who was born on May 2 2015 which makes her a Taurus. She shares this Earth sign with her great grandmother, the currently reigning Queen Elizabeth II. Like great grandmama, little Charlotte has the potential to be one of the hardest-working of the royals, as Taurus types are usually blessed not just with charm, but with tenacity and the stamina to keep going when those around them flounder. Look at the evidence: Her Maj’s reign at over 67 years on the throne makes her the UK’s longest ever reigning monarch.
Young Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, now fast approaching her 4th birthday, is likely to be a classy young lady with sophisticated tastes. There may be a tendency towards the odd temper tantrum especially if she doesn’t get her own way – which could be an ongoing trial for her mother Kate! – but as a Fixed Earth Sign Taurus she will more than likely be the voice of reason within the trio of Cambridge siblings, Her role will be to make firm decisions and make things happen, in contrast to older brother George who may be more swayed by his Cardinal Water Sign, Cancer, a sign that emphasises emotions rather than logic or practicalities.
That’s not to say that Charlotte lacks sensitivity. She shares a Cancer Rising Sign with her little brother Louis, and with her mother Kate too, so softness and empathy are definitely in her astrological make-up. Chatty and charming, Charlotte will attract (and most likely be the ringleader of) a large circle of friends thanks to dynamic Mars and the Sun in her very sociable 11th house. There’s a streak of rebelliousness too with her Libra Moon opposite quirky Uranus, with the potential for secret or ‘unsuitable’ love affairs when she’s older thanks to Venus in her 12th house. While Taurus types tend to adore and observe tradition, watch out for Charlotte to rock the royal boat in later years as Uranus in the most public sector of her chart may cause her to rebel and follow the path of her own choosing.
Louis: Prince Charming
Little Louis Arthur Charles, born on April 23 2018, celebrates his first birthday this year and shares the same zodiac sign with his grandmother Queen Elizabeth and with his big sister Charlotte. Although like them he’s a Taurus, the different time, date and place of his birth reveals a different astrological set up and personality to those of his Taurean royal relatives. He’s further down the princely pecking order as he’s ‘only’ fifth in line to the throne, so he might initially feel overshadowed by his older brother George but in the long run young Louis could turn out to be the charismatic character of the Cambridge clan. On the day Louis was born, the north node of destiny was ‘up close and personal’ to the Moon in Leo in his chart. Leo is the natural sign of both royalty and ‘the showman’, so a need to be seen to succeed in his own right – and in his own way – will be a strong and recurring theme for Louis as he grows older. There could be some future sibling rivalry over this, as Louis may appear to grab all the attention and kudos while George has to hold back from personal pleasure and be seen to do all the hard grafting. That said, there may be a special bond with Louis and his sister Charlotte thanks to their shared Taurus Sun sign along with a link to fun-loving, playful and media-friendly planet Jupiter in Leo (Louis’ rising sign) in Charlotte’s birth chart.
Louis looks set to be an action man and a magnificent controller of money, which may include his own and the monarchy’s moola too as financial affairs are likely to be under extreme scrutiny and change in the years ahead. It might well be significant that Louis was born on St George’s Day, the date of the patron Saint of the UK. Perhaps he, rather than his brother will come to the Kingdom’s rescue in a future hour of need? Only time and the planets will tell.
The power behind the throne?
All three of the Cambridge children are blessed by having Kate Middleton, a canny Capricorn born on January 9 1982, keeping them on track. As a practical Earth sign she’s also a dynasty builder, and her no-nonsense approach to life and motherhood will ensure that ‘go your own way’ Charlotte and Louis will (mostly) toe the family line because, as much as she truly adores her brood, she won’t stand for shenanigans at home nor for being shown up in public. The Duchess of Cambridge is also a rock especially for husband William and son George, both of whom may need a spousal or parental push now and again, as fluctuating emotions and indecision may tend to get the better of these two sensitive Cancerians.
With the sign of Cancer prominent throughout the Cambridges’ charts, there’s a tendency for them to be perceived by the public as well as those close to them as being caring and extremely family-oriented. This Water Sign influence is a big theme, with both Kate and Charlotte having a Cancerian Rising Sign, and with William’s and George’s Cancer Sun signs also in the mix there’s an almost psychic connection amongst this royal clan. There’s a sense that they can communicate with a look or a gesture rather than needing to talk things through, like a sort of family shorthand or unwritten code. It’s a delightfully protective and nurturing astrological aspect too, so they will all look out for each other, although headstrong Charlotte may still be rather a handful for protocol-led mum Kate to handle at times!
How Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor will fit into the scheme of things remains to be seen, but life with his cousins certainly won’t be dull!
