#14 King Albert II of Belgium

Albert II is the second son of King Leopold III, born on June 6, 1934 at 10:45 pm in Vienna Austria to King Leopold III and Princess Astrid of Sweden who died 2 years later at age 29 from a car accident. In 1940 he and his siblings fled to France and then Spain from the Germans invaded Belgium. His father, Leopold III, abdicated and his brother become King.

In 1959 he married Donna Paola Ruffo di Calabria  (Queen Paola) from an Italian princely family with whom he has four children: two boys and two girls. He served as President of the Belgian Red Cross and set up his own foundation. His brother died in 1993 and was crowned Albert II of the Belgians. He resigned from the monarchy in 2013 because of health problems and his son Philippe Léopold Louis Marie,  was crowned on 21 July of that year.

Currently, the King Albert is under a scandal of having fathered a love child, 51-year-old Delphine Boel, and has been decreed by a Belgian court to a DNA paternity test.

King Albert’s ascendant is 13 Capricorn, Italian metaphysician Adriano Carelli says it is “an archer drawing an incendiary arrow,” based on Jones’s time — we have not rectified it further. The former King is locomotive open on the southeastern side showing how fate propelled him into a role he was not ready for and thrust public scrutiny upon him (obviously the Boel scandal). This is supported by the Ascendant opposition to Pluto with a T-Square to the Midheaven at 18 Virgo.

His North Node is in Aquarius writes Haydn Paul that he “needs to move away from self-preoccupation and as the center of the universe” and towards greater social interconnectedness. Paul writes that will King Albert may enjoy public recognition and attention, the mask of pride and dignity may fall because of constructive aspects to Mars, here in the 4th House suggesting a “double home life,” that jumping to the current transits are now being revealed (Sun shining his light on Mars).
