The coronation of Charles III is mainly of interest to Anglophiles and royal fanatics. But it is a historical event, and we can always learn something from looking at new astrology charts. The transits to the horoscope for King Charles III are very interesting.
The Coronation Timing
The coronation of Charles III is on May 6, 2023, in Westminster Abbey, London, England. The most critical point in the ceremony to cast an astrology chart is the crowning, or more specifically, the moment the crown touches his head:
The King will then be crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, with the crowd chanting “God save the King!” at the exact moment St Edward’s Crown touches his head. At the moment of crowning, the bells of the abbey will ring, 21-gun salutes will be fired at 13 locations around the United Kingdom and on deployed Royal Navy ships, and 62-gun salutes and a six-gun salvo will be fired from the Tower of London and Horse Guards Parade.

I watched the football and missed the crowing. Thankfully, Kammy commented on the lunar eclipse post that it was 12:02 pm. I searched using that time and found this corroboration:
At exactly 12:02 pm (11:02 GMT), the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby placed the solid gold St Edward’s Crown on Charles’s head as a sacred and ancient symbol of the monarch’s authority. [2]

Charles III Coronation Horoscope
The timing of the crowning was so crucial because several fixed stars were rising on the eastern horizon at midday in London on May 6, 2023. The Ascendant moves one degree every five minutes.
The Royal star Regulus is the brightest of these, however, it was below the horizon and the furthest from the Ascendant by orb. This means the less favorable stars have a more substantial influence on the nature of this Kingship.
- 27♌36 – Alpha Hydrae, Alphard
- 27♌53 – Zeta Leonis, Adhafera
- 28♌00 – Ascendant
- 28♌13 – Zeta Leonis, Adhafera
- 00♍09 – Alpha Leonis, Regulus
Ascendant conjunct fixed star Adhafera (0°07′) gives great military preferment and riches. But this star in the mane of the Lion is connected with lying, stealing and crime.
Ascendant conjunct fixed star Al Jabhah (0°13′) also in the mane of the Lion gives loss and many dangers, a violent and intemperate nature, and to a military officer danger of mutiny and murder by his soldiers. These characteristics are most marked when the star is rising.
Ascendant conjunct fixed star Alphard (0°24′) gives much trouble, anxiety, and loss in connection with estates and buildings. Alphard is also associated with immorality, revolting deeds, and poison.
Sun conjunct fixed star Menkar (1°14′): Great trouble, sickness, legacies and inheritances attended by much evil, and loss of money. Menkar causes disease, disgrace, ruin, loss of fortune, impediments of many kinds, worries, and tests of endurance.
Venus conjunct fixed star Polaris (0°05′) causes much sickness, trouble, loss of fortune, disgrace and great affliction and may give legacies and inheritances attended by much evil.
Imum Coeli conjunct fixed star Zubenelgenubi (1°31′) in the Southern Scale of the Balance. Symbolically called the Insufficient Price, this star represents negative karma, as opposed to the positive karma of the North Scale Zubeneschamali, the Full Price.
The May 5 Lunar Eclipse at 14°58′ Scorpio, also conjunct Zubenelgenubi, highlights the Insufficient Price paid for the royal wealth on display. The “much evil” attended by these “legacies and inheritances” includes stealing, slavery, murder and genocide.
Just as the monarch’s reign is beginning, a number of Commonwealth realms are considering independence and re-examining the legacy of British colonialism. Some Caribbean and African leaders are also pushing for reparations from governments and institutions for the suffering and damage caused by the trans-Atlantic slave trade. [3]
With the Sun, Uranus and Midheaven opposite Zubenelgenubi, Charles is well aware of the karmic debt owed by the monarchy:
Last month, King Charles announced he would confront his own family’s history and examine the monarchy’s links to slavery, issuing a statement, saying he took the issue “profoundly seriously”. [3]
The alignment of the Sun, Uranus and Midheaven also means that significant progressive change is a primary goal of this Kingship. But radical change is coming, regardless of the kings’ awareness or intentions.
King Charles III Astrology
The bi-wheel below shows three significant transits to the Charles III horoscope.
King Charles III Astrology
Pluto square Moon transit (0°04′) rings intense psychological and emotional purging. This will be associated with the reason for the coronation, the death of his mother. But emotional trauma may also be felt concerning the impact of his affair with Camilla, his divorce from Diana and her death, particularly on his children. The recent claims of racism in the royal household would also be associated with this transit and the family history associated with slavery and other crimes in the name of colonialism.
Saturn opposite Saturn transit (0°31′) represents the tradition and turning point in history. It has brought a culmination of his career, or calling, with tremendous responsibility. Past failures are exposed and must be addressed, not only personally but also those associated with his family and establishment.
North Node conjunct North Node transit (0°22′) indicates Charles was born for this role; it is his destiny. It also reinforces the heavy karmic responsibility for the historical crimes of the British Royalty.
