It’s not my chart. Astrologer Maurice Wemyss proposed it as one of several in his five-volume tome, The Wheel of Life or Scientific Astrology. I reviewed them and concluded this was it.
Wemyss was impressed by her royal Jupiter being imprisoned i.e. intercepted. It’s also opposite her imprisoned Neptune1; which for Wemyss her imprisonment by her bastard2 cousin Elizabeth, Queen of England, for 19 years because of her rightful claims. This is supported by the Part of Royalty partile to that imprisoned Jupiter.
The silent kicker is the opposition of Jupiter to Neptune, which makes a T-square to her midheaven and the north node. It is important since this opposition ends in a T-square and is unfulfilled by a grand square; it gives her little ability to resolve the ascension problem in her lifetime.
Instead, the Midheaven points to the empty house of Cancer and the hope of motherhood. The Queen was born on the Roman Catholic Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a Holy Day of Obligation, a rather ironic pun, hints at the problem of who he father of her son is, but honestly, it really does not matter, and she knew that. What did matter was that she was his mother, and the sole royal heir and thus held the promise of the crown to her babe. That, of course, would be King James of Scotland VI, later King James I of England, Scotland, Ireland & Wales, the successor to the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I.
The Morinus version below is sans interceptions, which is why it works well for Scottish births like Queen Mary’s and Donald Trump’s mother. The Morinus chart also shows the many semi-sextiles that dominate the Queen’s chart, an aspect that, according to Roy Alexander, foretells of promises on the horizon.
The one we most are interested in is the semi-sextile between Mars (14 Aqu 06 the Hyperion Symbol of “searching for new asteroids”) and her Part of Fortune at ( 19 Capricorn 48 or the Hyperion Symbol of the “hidden valley of a secret clan”).
- Remember though that the planet Neptune had not yet been discovered, when her Highness was born in 1542, and would not be for another three hundred years in 1839. Still modern astrologers, like Wemyss and myself, use modern i.e. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, planets to demonstrate circumstances that are not clearly seen with just the seven traditional planets. ↩︎
- King Henry VIII had declared his daughter Elizabeth a bastard when he had his marriage to her mother, Anne Boleyn, annulled after Anne’s execution. This made Elizabeth’s birth technically out of wedlock and removed her from the line of succession until Parliament later restored her rights. ↩︎
