The Prince of Wales’s Sun is at 0 Degrees Cancer. He was born just slightly after a New Moon with his Moon at 4 degrees.
Which is to say that his Sun Moon Mid-Point is in Cancer.
This is a lovely combination, and could be argued as being the most powerful New Moon of each year, as the Sign of Cancer is governed by this planet.
Cancer people have a reputation for being home and family orientated, but William’s Sun and Moon and Mid-Point are all in the 7th House, which appears to be quite a theme for the Windsor family.
The Prince of Wales’s Sun Moon Mid-point is in Cancer. He has a good sense of public relations and some leadership abilities but needs a sense of freedom, also

In the stars: William has a well-developed sense of his public role but can get frustrated
This gives him a great appreciation of public relationships but as a Cardinal Sign, Cancer can also demonstrate executive abilities.
William’s Ascendant, however, gives his Natal Birth Chart a different dimension. This is in the Fire Sign Sagittarius (the same as his mother, Diana) and Conjunct the mystical Neptune.
Therefore, a freedom loving side to his nature may need to coexist with the duties his role demands. He is also likely very sensitive about what he perceives as unfairness.
William has an extremely powerful set of planets in the 9th House of justice (itself very Sagittarius), and with Mars and Saturn so close to one another, frustrations may peak at times, and feelings get close to the surface.
The most influential Aspect in his chart, however, is that Jupiter, the planet of growth, optimism and fortune, sits side by side with his Midheaven but aligns perfectly to his Sun and Moon positions.
This is a glorious alignment and can prove enormously lucky.
In contrast, Catherine was born on a Full Moon with the Sun in Capricorn opposite the Moon in Cancer.
This can create some challenges when it comes to integrating the needs of the person concerned, but having the Moon in its home zone of Cancer is a blessing and, being in the 11th House, is friendly and generally non-judgmental.
Catherine also possesses a lovely Leo Ascendant, conferring warmth and charisma on the individuals who enjoy this, who also include King Charles and Camilla.
Being born in the same year (1982), means Catherine and William do have several planetary commonalties, but there are also some very real differences.

Not least, Catherine has a strong raft of Air energies, and Venus, the planet of relating in Aquarius, in a Conjunction with Mercury. On the face of it, a person with this combination would have a gift for communication.
Yet Saturn, the planet of limitation, is at a tense right-angle to both her Sun and Moon positions and this can bring a cooler, more detached vibe to bear, perhaps even some inhibitions.
The outstanding influence for Catherine, however, is the gorgeous Jupiter on her 4th House Cusp of family and home.
Devotion to her children will bring Catherine the greatest rewards.
William and Catherine’s relationship
Having the Moon in the same sign of Cancer as the couple do, is very helpful. It means that instincts to do with home and children can align comfortably.
It is likely that William appreciates the location of Catherine’s Jupiter to support his worldly role and they have some very good links around shared values.
Catherine’s Moon and North Node (her life journey) are in William’s 7th House, a favourable location for him, as Catherine’s placements are very supportive.
William is likely to appreciate the location of Catherine’s Jupiter to support his worldly role. The two have some very good links when it comes to shared values
The couple’s astrology suggests they would have a tremendous sense of a shared mission, friendship and co-operation
Swapping the charts around sees none of William’s planets in Catherine’s own 7th House, which could in some cases point towards a lack of sympathy but he has so many placements in his own 7th House, he is not lacking astrological assets when it comes to understanding other people.
However, there is a paradox in William’s chart, the Ascendant in Sagittarius, Conjunct Black Moon Lilith (a part of the Chart to do with what we desire) suggests he could find himself going backwards and forwards from a need for freedom, independence and thrills, to the more family, emotionally orientated energies of Cancer.
Their relationship does though appear to have a tremendous sense of a shared mission, friendship and co-operation.
