Star Signs
By William Tuma
The Royal Baby Prince of Cambridge
On July 22nd, 2013 at 4:24 p.m. Greenwich Mean Time, an eight pound six ounce future monarch was born. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge is third in line to the crown after his grandfather, Charles and his father, William. The young prince is a Cancer. Because he was born mere minutes before the Sun’s entry into Leo, his Sun is very strong. He’s still a Full Moon baby even though his birth was only minutes before the lunation. Since his Sun is so close to Leo, he will exhibit many Leo characteristics. In the zodiac, Leo is represented by the lion, king of the jungle. What better influence for a future royal monarch? The Cancer Sun will give him a real sensitivity to others. He will be very paternal and nurturing. No other sign, except Pisces, is more emotional than Cancer. This could make him susceptible to moods swings which he will need to keep an eye on and try his best to control. Cancer is the sign associated with home and family, so strong ties with family members will be an extremely important to him. He will value routine and traditions. Cancers often grow up to work in the family business. What better business to be born into than a royal monarchy? His Moon is in Capricorn. As his Sun is at the very end of Cancer, his Moon is at the very end of Capricorn. Since Capricorn is an earth sign it will help to anchor the watery Cancer Sun.
It is interesting to note that his mother is a Capricorn while his father is a fellow Cancer. Both his father and his mother, as well as Princess Diana have a Moon in Cancer. There will be certain intensity to the prince’s personality because he has Scorpio Rising. This will also give him a magnetic presence and a certain amount of charisma. He will probably be very secretive about his personal life. An interesting aspect of George’s chart is the predominance of planets in earth and water signs. His Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune are all in water signs, while his Moon, Venus, and Pluto are in earth signs. All of his will give him an idealistic nature grounded in reality. The lone planet that I did not mention is his Uranus, which is in Aries. The fact that this planet is not in water or earth, and off on its own will make this a significant planet in his chart and can make him a bit of a free-spirited rebel.
