Protective, loyal, with the potential to be wildly assertive, Mars is positioned in an understated yet discreet area of the chart, essential for keeping private matters well hidden.

Astrological Advice for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

To succeed, the couple should enjoy the beautiful side of life, and retreat regularly in private (which they’ve done quite well so, with the announcement of a private family celebration after the baby is born). With the pair’s Venusian moon signs (Taurus and Libra), the couple will be at home in gorgeous surrounds, so they should set up house in one of the more comfortable castles or perhaps a country manor like Highgrove, which Diana adored.

What does your birth chart say about you? 

With planets in service-oriented Virgo, the pair will be eager to take on dutiful roles. Both diplomatic, charming and at ease together in the spotlight thanks to their blend of Libra and Leo, Meghan can make the most of her Cancer rising by working for causes connected to children and mothers, while Harry has stepped up his responsibility thanks to Saturn crossing his ascendant at the end of last year.
