Prince William’s horoscope shows that he has a mysterious and magical soul because Neptune and Lilith are rising. The Ascendant is the most personal point in any chart, and Neptune here not only gives sensitivity and spirituality, but also makes these personal features hard for us to pin down and understand. According to Astro Databank he is noted for having an occult book collection. Some other aspects and fixed star interpretations do give us greater insight into this secretive nature.
Prince William’s rising star is an highly esoteric and anciently important star called Etamin, the Right Eye of the Dragon. In ancient Egypt it was known as Isis,
“Its rising was visible about 3500 B.C. Through the central passages of the temples of Hathor at Denderah and of Mut at Thebes…at least seven different temples were oriented toward it.” [1]. Now Etamin “passes exactly over the zenith of Greenwich” [2], so there it is called the Zenith Star. Astrologically, Ebertin says Etamin gives “a liking for solitude. Good mental concentration…Esoteric and philosophical studies.” [3]
Neptune is on another esoteric star, this one called Aculeus in the sting of the Scorpion. According to Morse, Aculeus, like it’s near neighbor Acumen, gives “very sharp minds and a perception well above average as though, perhaps ‘blind’ to what we see and take for granted, they see what we do not, at levels where eyesight does not reach. Not for nothing has the word Acumen come down to us as a term for a sharp mind.” [4]
Lilith also conjunct the Ascendant in the Prince William horoscope suggests a darker magical and occult side. At just one minute orb, Sun opposite Lilith is the tightest aspect in the horoscope. As Marina found when studying this aspect, it “can work as a magic wand of a power source… the mind can function magically and show profound genius.” This opposition is bridged by Jupiter, the Sun trine Jupiter gives “a marked interest in philosophy, religion or politics”.
Prince William Horoscope
No doubt the tragedy of his mothers death turned him inward in the search of deeper meaning. This terrible pain can be seen in the horoscope with the close conjunction of Venus and Chiron on the agonizing fixed star Algol. This conjunction on this star is very potent, made more-so by being the action point of a Yod aspect pattern to Neptune sextile Pluto. Rosenburg says of Algol, “you will be aware of the depths of suffering that can occur, whether through human depravity or “Acts of God”; and you will not be able to ignore suffering and horror, or brush it aside; your life path will require that you come to terms with that level of experience.” [5]
The Midheaven represents the calling, and the star here supports the occult theme in Prince William’s chart, Princeps in constellation Bootes. Robson says it “gives a keen studious and profound mind with the ability for research.”[6] Mercury trine Mars gives a quick and sharp intellect, aided by Mercury conjunct the fixed star Alderbaran which Robson says with Mercury gives “prominence through mercurial matters, material gain, and many learned friends.” [6]
The Part of Fortune not only signifies material success but it is also a spiritual point in the chart relating to the happiness of the soul. Williams Part of Fortune is conjunct the fixed star Polis in the Archer. Morse says this star denotes “someone whose interest and knowledge of things spiritual may be both keen and profound.” [4] Transiting Pluto has been on Prince William’s Part of Fortune this last year, perhaps intensifying his studies into the occult.

Funny I was just reading up on Aries Point. I was alerted to it 1stly from Kelley Hunter who says it has been observed time and time again that True osculating Lilith actually does a double wiggle over that point each time it crosses it. Then in a book I’m reading by Robert Hand. He rates it
It seem to be the point of fame.
Well look at Williams Aries-point. It’s at his Sun(King), Lilith(Occult) midpoint. Diana was the only interesting Royal in recent times. I think once he IS king he will make royalty “cool” again. And his dad is a bit of a pagan with his talking to plants.
I remember staying up all night to watch Princess Diana and Prince Charles marry. I was affraid if I set my alarm to get up and watch it I would hit snooze and miss it. Cant remember the year but I think I was in 7th grade. There was something about her even then that was inspiring and tragic all at once. Her boys make my heart turn. Again just something about them….
Diana was about six months younger than me. I remember watching it in the wee hours too.
This is all so exciting!
She touched a lot of people Tina, I saw her when I was about 17 and she definitely had a special presence.
I don’t follow the celebrity gosspip but I do know there is a lot of interest in a possible marriage. The December lunar eclipse is near his Descendant so maybe something in 2011 regarding a new partner. Margaret Motheral on our Facebook page noted that his choice of partner would be iomportant in the development of these occult interests.
Yay! Lunar eclipse December 2011 onjunct Prince William’s Descendant, news is Prince Willaim will marry Kate Middleton in 2011. The wedding should be in the first half of 2011 during the effect of the eclipse.
Eclipses on the Descendant do point to marriage. The July solar eclipse was on my DC and I’m getting married in a few weeks.
I watch people read the fronts of the rags in the grocery store and I’ll even read a few of the headlines but thats a family I DONT want to read what the rags have to say. Real stories from real people thats different or an interview they give but not the poperazi stuff.. not before the night of her death and not since. I hope he lives a long life lived to the fullest.. just something about him
that has a certain ring to it Marina – maybe his time is coming soon……an initiate King – wonder if he’s into astrology and visits this site?!
Great analysis.
The first thing I noticed was how much the chart is like Diana’s – Sag Ascendant, Libra Midheaven, 7th house Sun Cancer, 5th house Venus Taurus. And the Venus degree is very close to his mother’s. She influences him profoundly and he carries a very great deal of her influence with him.
As for the Aries point – it’s across the Midheaven/IC axis which says profoundly to me that his family roots play an extraordinary part in his destiny. He simply cannot escape them. There is no other job for him. Aries point on the 4th house cusp – the first degree of the zodiac – could indicate a fresh start for that sometimes very troubled family.
As always I look at the Sabian symbols and using Blain Bovee’s theory I check the pairing. 0 Aries is “A Woman rises out of water, a seal rises and embraces her”. A father – 4th house cusp – who embraces nature and the natural world. And with 0 Libra on his Midheaven, have you ever seen a more perfect image for his eternal pin-up mother Diana? A beauty whose life force was cut off before her time. It’s “A butterfly made perfect by a dart through it”. The butterfly is also a profound image of transformation.
William’s Sun is on 1 Cancer “A furled and unfurled flag displayed from a vessel” (there’s a strong tradition of young royal men serving in the forces. And then of course there’s the Union Flag atop Buckingham Palace!). This is paired with 1 Capricorn “An Indian Chief demanding recognition”. His rightful place is in charge. There is great power here – and power for change and transformation.
One very striking and pertinent symbol is the Moon, at 5 Cancer. Remembering that Moon represents the mother, the symbol is “An auto wrecked by a train”.
@Jan I love those Sabian symbols Jan, they do add a lot to the interpreatation and are very magical. Prince William does seem to have amazing synastry with his mother, I haven’t studied it but do remember Princess Diana had Spica on her Midheaven, and Prince William has Pluto on Spica. I did look into her chart once before, at the moment she passed away, the Vertex was on her Ascendant, and the Ascendant was on her Vertex.
@Jan..that is a great interpretation and resonates! I cant help myself either with Diana and her boys…apart from Elvis(more of a shock as I was younger but still got me) and Michael Hutchence(cried)- Diana is the only other ‘celeb’I have ever cried even more over (shocked and felt like I held my breath during that time of her death..)so I have this need to follow what is happening in her boys lives….
@Jamie..another great write up! Awesome!
I think once he IS king he will make royalty “cool” again. And his dad is a bit of a pagan with his talking to plants.

Dear Jamie
I published today an astrological post about the engagement of Prince William to Kate Middleton, and I linked your nice post. To confirm, please, click here.
Tudo de bom,

Excellent write-up Anthony, and your site is looking great too. We’ll get you up on Best Astrology Sites and Best Astrology Blogs in a week or so when I do the December updates. I love the automatic Google translate. One of the reasons I switched to the FireFox browser
I just saw this
tribes.tribe.net/darkmoongoddesslilith/thread/480eeb7b-2283-418f-a6cb-70019395cce7
Look at all the Aries planets in the wedding chart. And Saturn in Libra opposite Venus in Aries in that wedding chart.
Still, with William having a Sag ascendant that puts Gemini on his 7th house cusp and that’s usually indicative of more than one marriage.
Beautifully done Jamie.
