Coronation Astrology Q&A
Monday May 15th 2023
The Oxford Astrologer monthly Q&A was taken over by talk of the coronation — it was the day after. It turned into quite a discussion. I explained why I am sure this is an elected chart — that is one chosen by an astrologer — and other participants made interesting and relevant contributions.
I have quite mixed feelings about the whole thing. A magic spell was cast for the whole country — on the one hand. But then it ended with people wearing silly hats — on the other. Oh wait, this is Britain!

Sorry I had to take it down for a quick edit. It’s back now.
Thank you for the fascinating discussion!
Thanks for a fascinating discussion. That Moon almost void of course puzzled me at first, but it makes sense in the context of their personal charts. One of the things that struck me about the ritual was the way he was ‘escorted’ by two obviously high-ranking church men. They just looked like his minders/warder to me! The whole thing had a strong feeling of the power of the church being asserted, as though he could only be king if he promised to be a protestant (very specific). Shades of Saturn in Pisces I suppose, and the powerful Jupiter near the MC.
Yes, I agree re power of the Church. I was watching with my daughter who happens to be studying the Stewarts & she said the bit where he promises to be Protestant was from the coronation of William of Orange when they were so worried about James II catholicism. I thought it struck a dud note actually. I liked all the priests gathering around like fairies for sleeping beauty, but it made one think of who had not been invited…
Liz Greene! Fascinating thought (reflects well on him, to me). She is astrology royalty so there’s that.
Great, layered discussion, thanks for sharing this.
I have no proof except a fleeting expression on her face.
