Queen Elizabeth II: Chiron Skipped Steps
A Life of Service Through the Lens of Evolutionary Astrology
Queen Elizabeth II's passing marks the end of an era. As the world reflects on her remarkable reign, Evolutionary Astrology offers a unique lens through which to understand her life and legacy. This approach delves into the concept of "skipped steps" across lifetimes, revealing potential past life experiences that may influence present actions. Let's explore Queen Elizabeth II's chart to see how these skipped steps, along with planetary placements, might shed light on her unwavering dedication to service and her remarkable ability to lead..
Queen Elizabeth II's unwavering dedication to service resonates deeply with the placement of Pluto in Cancer within her 6th house. In Evolutionary Astrology, the 6th house signifies devotion to duty and serving others, while Cancer embodies the nurturing energy of "home" and "roots." This potent combination perfectly encapsulates her lifelong vow, uttered as Princess Elizabeth on her 21st birthday: "I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service." (Quote by Cardinal Vincent Nichols of Westminster)1
In Evolutionary Astrology, the North and South Nodes represent a soul's journey across lifetimes. The South Node symbolizes past experiences and familiar patterns, while the North Node represents our soul's growth and where we're headed.
"Skipped steps" occur when the soul gets stuck. This can manifest as a feeling of being on autopilot, repeating old patterns, or struggling to develop new skills or beliefs. Planets squaring the Nodes can highlight these skipped steps and the areas where the soul needs to focus for further evolution. The key to overcoming skipped steps lies in integration. This involves acknowledging the lessons embedded within the South Node, honoring past experiences, while simultaneously focusing on the growth opportunities presented by the North Node. By working through these challenges and integrating the wisdom of both Nodes, the soul can move forward on its evolutionary path, embracing both its past and its potential for growth.
Queen Elizabeth II's chart, viewed through the lens of "skipped steps" in Evolutionary Astrology, reveals a fascinating interplay between past and present lives. Chiron (representing past wounds) in fiery Aries (associated with self-expression) squares both the South Node in introspective Capricorn (12th house) and the North Node in nurturing Cancer (6th house). This suggests a potential past life struggle with expressing herself freely (South Node/Chiron). However, the North Node in Cancer offers an opportunity for healing and growth. By embracing her nurturing side (Cancer) and finding ways to serve others effectively (6th house), the Queen could potentially overcome past limitations and express her unique voice in a way that benefits her community.
The rulers of these Nodes offer even richer insights. The South Node's ruler, Saturn in Scorpio placed in the 9th house, hints at a past life where self-expression might have been restricted due to powerful institutions or societal expectations (Scorpio) and a deep interest in esoteric knowledge (9th house) that couldn't be openly shared. This resonates with the South Node in Capricorn, suggesting a past life where duty and conformity took precedence over individuality.
The North Node's ruler, the Moon in Leo placed in the 7th house, presents a different picture. Leo is associated with self-expression, creativity, and leadership. Interestingly, it's placed in the 7th house of partnerships and collaboration. This suggests that fulfilling her soul's purpose in this lifetime (North Node) might involve finding ways to express her unique voice and leadership qualities (Leo) through collaboration and fostering harmonious relationships (7th house).
The tension between the Nodes and their rulers suggests a potential past life struggle with self-expression. However, the North Node offers an opportunity for healing. By embracing her nurturing side (Cancer) and finding ways to serve others effectively (6th house), the Queen could potentially overcome past limitations and express her unique voice for the benefit of her community (Cancerian themes). Additionally, the North Node ruler, the Moon in Leo, suggests that finding her voice through collaboration and partnerships (7th house) might be key to fulfilling her soul's purpose. Perhaps her leadership style, known for diplomacy and building bridges, reflects this aspect of her chart.
In essence, her chart reveals a potential struggle between self-expression and the constraints of her position, yet also suggests a remarkable ability to overcome these challenges and become a powerful and respected leader with a unique voice.
