Astrodatabank.com says Meghan Markle is born on August 4th, 1981, 4:46 am at Canoga Park, California. This data is rated ‘AA’, meaning it’s very accurate.

One feature that stands out in Meghan Markle’s horoscope is her Moon, Saturn and Jupiter. These planets are all close together (aka ‘conjunct’) in Libra. This is shown by the blue oval, above. Pluto is nearby too, also in Libra.

Libra is an air sign, ruled by Venus. It is the sign of seeking balance, harmony, give-and-take. These qualities are part of Markle’s makeup, particularly her emotional life, which is represented in anyone’s horoscope by the Moon.

Her Moon in Libra indicates her emotional security is gained through Libra-stuff: feeling interconnected, listened-to, valued, connected. Saturn right next door to her Moon indicates ‘gravity’ and seriousness inflects this emotional nature. Which can be a good thing. Or it might seem too ‘heavy’ at times.

Jupiter is also nearby. This has a complementary and yet seemingly opposite energy to Saturn. Jupiter enlarges, exaggerates. It is optimism, hope. So both Saturn and Jupiter will be influencing Markle’s emotional nature. A combination of both discipline (Saturn) and optimism, enlargement (Jupiter) mixed together.

Ascendant in Cancer

The Ascendant is how we appear to others, our public face. Markle’s Ascendant is in Cancer (green arrow, above). Cancer is ruled by the Moon. So this indicates someone who’s emotional nature is on public display; it’s part of how she comes across. And is thus likely to seem a good listener, someone with the ability to interact with others.

And to some extent reliable and controlled (Saturn). Yet at times also equally optimistic (Jupiter). And this optimistic side is uplifted by having Harry in her life, as we shall see shortly.

Overall Markle will appear as someone who seems to be a negotiator, someone who values interaction (Moon in Libra) and concern for others. This is a good feature for supporting her humanitarian activism.

Mercury sextile Moon, Saturn and Jupiter

Markle’s Mercury is in Leo, indicating she thinks and communicates in a fairly self-directed and fiery (Leo is a fire sign) way. This might at times seem at odds with her Libra qualities, which emphasise interaction with others.

Her Mercury receives a sextile aspect from her Moon, Saturn and Jupiter combination (purple arrow, above).

This tells us that how she thinks and communicates may appear to be ‘about herself.’ Yet it is underpinned with the Libra qualities mentioned above. And while she communicates in a fiery (Mercury in Leo) way, underneath that presentation will be potential for emotional self-control (Moon-Saturn) mixed with emotional exaggeration, optimism and hope (Moon-Jupiter).

Relationship preferences

A person’s needs or ‘taste’ in terms of relationships is shown by the sign on the 7th house cusp. In Markle’s case, hers is Capricorn, which is a conservative and traditional sign. This is well-suited to her choice of Harry, given his position in the English royalty. Markle likes a traditional, reliable relationship. One that is structured and sensible, to some degree.

Saturn is in Libra, as mentioned above. This adds further information, in that her preference is for traditional, but also someone who interacts in a give-and-take way. And someone who connects closely with her on an emotional level (Saturn conjunct Moon).

Synastry with Prince Harry’s horoscope

Astrologers look at relationships by putting two people’s horoscopes alongside each other. This is called looking at the ‘synastry’ between their two charts (aka horoscopes). Synastry can tell us something about how the two people interact, or interconnect.

The key factors are those planets in one person’s chart that aspects planets in the other one.

Prince Harry was born September 15th, 1984 at 4:20 pm in Paddington, England. This is also very accurate birth data. If we put Meghan’s chart in the inner circle, and Harry’s on the outside, we get this:

There are at least four strong interconnections between them.

First, there’s mutual attraction and chemistry. Which in any two relationship horoscopes is shown by connections between Venus and/or Mars in one chart, and Venus and/or Mars in the other.

Here we have Meghan Markle’s Venus in square aspect to Harry’s Mars (red arrows, above). This indicates strong and immediate attraction.

Second, Harry’s Jupiter is square to Markle’s Moon, Saturn, Jupiter combination, shown by the orange arrows. This means Harry will boost Meghan’s Jupiter, and will lift her emotional spirits, so that her feelings are not overly dominated by Saturn’s pragmatic and conservative approach. Harry is an emotional catalyst here.

Thirdly, Harry’s Saturn squares Markle’s Sun (blue arrows). This might be seen as restrictive and controlling. Or, more positively, Harry offering a pragmatic and structured assistance to help Markle be herself.

Finally (green arrows), Markle’s Neptune is square Harry’s Sun. Neptune is mystery, allure, imagination. Markle brings these qualities to Harry’s sense of himself (Sun). She will be able to help him ‘think outside the square’.

Meghan Markle’s horoscope: summary

Markle has many attributes that equip her for her new life as part of the British royal family. She has a conservative side, and is able to be emotionally disciplined when required. She will not be reckless. There’s also qualities of interaction, connectedness, balance in her horoscope.

Compared to Harry, she is perhaps more of an introvert, given that most of her chart’s planets are below the horizon (his are the opposite).

They have many interconnections between their respective horoscopes. Attraction and chemistry is certainly there. As is Harry’s ability to uplift Markle’s emotional side. But there’s a risk that the Prince will appear to be too controlling (Saturn to her Sun). And a chance that Harry may have an overly strong ‘fantasy’ about their relationship (her Neptune to his Sun). Alternatively, this could simply be that she provides a kind of inspiration for him.

Meghan Markle’s horoscope is remarkably free of outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) aspecting inner ones. This makes for a less complicated life! And denotes someone who’s focus will be more on the everyday lived experience, rather than a more complex nature and associated undercurrents that the outer planets convey when they aspect the inner ones.
