Not Out of the Woods

The Princess of Wales released a personal statement this week providing an update on her health. She states that she is still undergoing chemotherapy for an unspecified form of cancer but has made plans to attend the age old tradition of the Trooping the Colour on Saturday. This event is a birthday celebration for Britain’s monarch and features a military parade and the appearance of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. It will be Kate’s first public engagement since her scheduled abdominal surgery last January. She says she is looking forward to future outings but only if these activities are approved by her medical team. 

“I have been blown away by all the kind
messages of support and encouragement
over the last couple of months. It really
has made the world of difference to William
and me and has helped us both through
some of the harder times.“

“I am making good progress, but as
anyone going through chemotherapy will
know, there are good days and bad days.
On those bad days you feel weak, tired and
you have to give in to your body resting.
But on the good days, when you feel
stronger, you want to make the most
of feeling well.“

“My treatment is ongoing and will
be for a few more months. On the days
I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage
with school life, spend personal time
on the things that give me energy and
positivity, as well as starting to do
a little work from home.“

“I’m looking forward to attending the
King’s Birthday Parade this weekend
with my family and hope to join a few
public engagements over the summer,
but equally knowing I am not out
of the woods yet.“

It is interesting to note that this brief message was released with a photo of the princess relaxing thoughtfully under a large tree. It is not known if she was symbolically depicted “not out of the woods” of medical recovery or she is just relaxing in a natural setting. She does seems a bit thinner and perhaps more somber than we are accustomed to seeing her, but the important thing is that she is looking forward to the future for her nation, her family and particularly herself.

#82 SAT CAP 1/9/1982 Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton was born on a Saturday in the zodiac sign of Capricorn. The #82 SAT CAP Dayology Signature of this future Queen is doubly ruled by the planet Saturn. This astrological fact was fully explained in our previous features Apologies to the Princess and The New Royal Family but now she is feeling the darkness of Saturn in almost every facet of her life.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun, and the second-largest planet in our solar system. It is equipped with beautiful rings that glimmer in the darkness. Astrologically Saturn represents all the constraints that force us to buckle down and get serious about life. One might think from her long history of good choices and firm actions that Kate is a sincere individual, but now it appears that she has the opportunity to set a good example for the widest audience.

Whatever the outcome her illness may take Katherine will surely be remembered for her graceful and sensitive attitude while facing an unfortunate and unavoidable situation. We are privileged to to observe that while handling this dire situation how she has listened to the medical experts and attempted to care for herself so that she can heal and return to her previous duties.

Most people born on Saturday face some specific difficulty in their lives or they commonly find themselves assisting those who are in tough spots. In her astrology chart Katherine’s Double Signature Ruler is well placed in Libra and the Third House giving her good judgment and an innate sense of fairness. She understands she is not immune from common difficulties. Her “sterling” temperament allows her to experience the “meaning” of difficult situations.
