The death of Queen Elizabeth: An end of an era

 

Queen Elizabeth of the UK passed away peacefully September 8^th, 2022 at 96 years of age. Her son Charles is now King Charles 111. Buckingham palace released a simple statement indicating she died peacefully.

Queen Elizabeth served 70 years on the throne, the longest in British history and enjoyed a worldwide audience of admirers. Her last official act was to appoint Liz Truss as UK’s new Prime Minister just two days before her death. She met with 14 US Presidents during her reign.

On September 8^th, we learned that Queen Elizabeth’s doctors were concerned for her health. Since announcements like this are rare, I took a look at the Queen’s chart.

Sure enough, there was Saturn conjunct her Mars and Jupiter in the first house of self. Saturn-Mars transits can sometimes relate to health issues, in particular cardio-vascular issues. Later that afternoon, the Moon would conjunct Saturn, Mars and Jupiter and this appears to be close to or right at her time of death. I felt when the Moon crossed her Saturn-Mars we would likely hear more news and we did later in the afternoon. The Moon is often the main activator in a chart.

Uranus was also square her Mars, Jupiter and Neptune in the 7^th house, so basically this was not one transit, but the Uranus-Saturn square that brought about the Queens passing. Uranus-Mars is a tricky transit and relates to sudden and unexpected events. Uranus rules heart attacks and strokes and it appears to me she could have suffered a stroke, but the only reports that confirm her death state that she ‘died peacefully in her sleep.’

Jupiter is frequently involved in death and the Moon crossed her Jupiter that afternoon and Jupiter was conjunct her Mercury. Jupiter-Mercury indicates a peaceful passing at least in terms of the mental state and this also shows us her children were at her side as reported.

September 10^th, we experienced a full moon at 17 degrees of Pisces. Pisces rules the 12^th house of endings. The Moon conjuncted Neptune and sextiled Uranus, bringing us sudden, unexpected and shocking news of her death.  Pisces is the most spiritual of transits and a conjunction with Neptune is sometimes associated with death, or at times may seem other worldly at least.

Another telling indicator of the Queens death was in her deceased husband Phillip’s chart. The Pisces full moon opposed Saturn in his 8^th house of death representing an ending. When people die, their charts live on and while we cannot presume to understand what is happening on the other side, the charts can still show us what is happening to those who were around them such as a spouse.

In the most often used chart of England (1-1-1801) the Uranus-Saturn square fell on Neptune at 18 degrees as well as Venus at 16 degrees of Scorpio. Uranus opposed Neptune from the 8^th house of death showing us an eminent public death. As the full moon trined Uranus the chart showed us this would represent a powerful woman.

For most of those living, Queen Elizabeth has been woven into the collective consciousness of our world and society.  Unless you are over 70 years of age, you have never known anyone else to sit on the throne of England.

Whether a monarchy appeals to you or not, the Queens passing definitely signals the end of an era as does the Uranus-Saturn square in astrology. This is the last pass of this powerful aspect that has and will continue to change many things globally, including governments. It is not unusual to see public figures pass away on transits like this.

Queen Elizabeth lived a long and fruitful life, and many looked to her as a sign of stability in trying times, and she will be missed around the world.

The Queen is dead, long live the King.
