A week is a long time in newsland. Putting together the Astrolutely newsbite I was struggling to find anything upbeat to comment on. There was the “disappearance” in plain sight of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the increasingly desperate Brexit situation, which reached yet another new low, and then, “Eureka!” Thank goodness for the Duchess of Sussex.
On Monday, Buckingham Palace announced the royal couple were expecting their first baby in the spring. The news broke just as the couple landed on Australian soil in preparation for their sixteen-day tour of Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand.
Of course, the usual questions immediately came to mind. When will the baby be born and will it be a little girl or boy?
Wearing my Sherlock Holmes deerstalker I believe the baby will be born in April. Given that the announcements of a forthcoming royal birth appear once the first trimester is over that brings us to an expected due date of mid-to-late April. Thus, the Sussexes will be welcoming an Aries or Taurus into the fold.
All families share patterns — think of a family as an astrological gene pool from which certain degree areas and aspects predominate. The strongest shared feature between Meghan and Harry is a Moon-Saturn hard aspect — Moon opposition Saturn in Harry’s case and Moon conjunct Saturn for Meghan — so our search should involve looking for a Moon-Saturn connection in mid-to-late April or the Moon in Capricorn. Which brings us to the 17th April (Moon in Libra square Saturn in Capricorn and the Sun in Aries) and the 24th April (Sun Taurus and Moon in Capricorn conjunct Saturn). I slightly favour the 24th April, which is the day after Prince Louis Arthur was born. A Sun Taurus will make a little more sense and during the last couple of weeks of April the Sun will be conjunct Uranus, which chimes with the strong Uranus theme in the couple’s astrological story.
As for whether it will be a girl or a boy, astrology can give us no answer, but there is an old wives’ tale that if the female is the stronger partner boys will predominate and if the male, girls are more likely. And I think we can probably all agree that Meghan is the stronger of the two so we could be looking at a new little prince.

But please don’t shoot your astrologer if a Pisces baby girl arrives in March. The universe knows…
