The Disillusioned Prince: Why Harry Left The Firm

Ever wondered what Prince Harry’s astrological placements say about his relationship with his family? Why did he break from ‘The Firm’? Here we will look at his 4th, 8th, and 11th house placements. The following was written from an objective and neutral perspective, hence the omission of his name from the analysis.

 Sun, Venus, and Mercury in the 8th House

“It’s something my mother believed in: if you are in a position of privilege, if you can put your name to something you genuinely believe in, you can smash any stigma you want, and you can encourage anybody to do anything”. -Prince Harry

Sun and Venus in the 8th house (the house of sex, death, money, contracts, murder, incest, etc)  makes this native cautious in intimate partnerships. There is distrust and/ or betrayal in the family. He desperately needs privacy as the ego is sensitive and secretive. He is suspicious as his affections and loyalty can be used against him; his vulnerability is often exploited. The sun here indicates the early death of the parent, or disillusionment with the father figure. Venus in this placement indicates the premature death of the mother and/or a spouse. Mercury in this placement indicates that the native was told lies from a young age. However, they will not be kept from him forever.  This is a person who dives deep into taboo subjects, and desperately needs their privacy in order to maintain stable mental health. The Sun here also indicates heroism and self-sacrifice for the sake of love, honour, and truth.

Harry’s Sun and Venus 8th house placement indicate Diana’s premature death .

North Node and Moon in the 4th House, Taurus on 4th house cusp, Saturn opposing Moon

“I’ve longed for kids since I was very very young. And so I am waiting to find the right person; someone who is willing to take on the job.”-Prince Harry

The native’s North Node (Destiny) in Taurus indicates a moving away from the world of shared inheritance and joint-finances (8th house Scorpio stuff), and move toward the spring time of new beginnings and fresh starts. Taurus is about fertile land and new landscapes.  The native is seeking emotional and financial stability that is earned, not given. It is when he reaches this point of independence and emotional stability that he will self-actualise and become the highest version of himself. The location of the North Node in the 4th house of family indicates a move away from duty, work commitments, and public self. He is destined to cultivate a private personal life. However Saturn, the father and the patriarchy, is opposing, challenging, and criticising his choice to be emotionally fulfilled. That will never go away, and it will tug at his heart forever. There will be a strain on the native’s domestic life as Saturn calls him back to his duty to his father and the establishment.

Moon conjunct North Node in the 4th house means that Harry is destined to be a husband and father.

Uranus and Mars in the 11th house, Saggitarius house cusp

“To be honest, dinner conversations were the worst bit about being a child and listening to the boring people around me.”-Prince Harry

Uranus conjunct Mars gives the native an impulsive streak. Fits of rage and emotional outbursts were embarrassing and/or violent. Displays rebellion and even resentment toward authority figures. Unreliable or inappropriate behaviour in social situations. Uranus is in its most comfortable position, the 11th house of friendships and networks. This person is extremely likeable; a friend to all. He is fair and just. Uranus is the one who operates the guillotine; to have him present in the expansive, fortunate, and self-indulgent sign of Sagittarius is not a harmonious energy. This person grows up in a very fortunate world of the well-educated, literate social elite, and yet he holds the papers of karmic debt issued by Uranus. This is somebody who can bring about a revolution by just sticking to a principle that undermines the establishment. Mars and Uranus conjunct in the 11th house is a favourable placement if the native enters philanthropy, human rights, law, and/or the armed forces as they will connect with others who have a strong sense of justice and a warrior spirit.

Uranus conjunct Mars indicates popularity with the masses, but extremely unpopular and alienated in small and privileged social circles.
