1. The first chart shows the natal chart, Placidus houses, with transits and progressions. Uranus wipes out as hitting any house cusps (and I tried a bunch of house systems) but it is in the 6th house of service, within orb of a conjunction with Pluto, the modern ruler of Elizabeth II's MC in Scorpio. The MC is one's public image and career in the sense of vocation, even destiny.
In mundane (political) astrology, the MC indicates monarchs and other heads of state. I think it is fair to interpret the life of such a public figure using both mundane and natal chart interpretations.
Transiting Pluto makes a close opposition to the natal Mars (traditional ruler of the MC) in the first house. Pluto rules profound change as well as a kind of unstoppable power.
The progressed sun makes a close conjunction to the IC (and opposition to the MC and Saturn.) I take from this configuration that this moment really ended QE2's life as a private person--becoming queen of the British empire wasn't about her personal identity, but about the public role (MC) she was expected to fulfill.
Transiting Saturn and Neptune in the 8th house indicate death on a metaphorical if not literal level. Certainly her father died, and the father is symbolized by Saturn in a night birth. Neptune closely squares the AS. I read this as a kind of "dissolving" or "erasure" of her individual personality as she became a more public figure.
The progressed angular moon hitting the DC simultaneously opposes the AS (again, it's not about her) and squares the MC/Saturn (it is about her public role.)
I would read this as indicating QE2's lifelong commitment to public service (unlike some of her forebears) and a profound change at the time of her father's death/ascension to the throne.
2. The second, progressed chart, is really interesting, in that Elizabeth's sun is now the tip of a kite formation and one of the corners of a grand cross. Although becoming the figurehead of the British empire "isn't about her" but in a way it is. The sun is in the 3rd progressed house, of the media in mundane astrology. Everything about her personally is coming under public scrutiny: what she wears, what she says, and her daily activities by the species known as "royals watchers."
Progressed moon in deeply caring Cancer is in the 5th, but close enough to the 6th house cusp that many astrologers would read its influence as occuring in the 6th house of (public) service.
The ruler of the progressed MC is fortunate Jupiter, but it is locked away in the 12th house and makes no happy aspects. She may have felt imprisioned (12th house) by her new roles.
3. I think I posted the wrong solar return chart above (1952-53) for the year Elizabeth became queen--although there was clearly a lot going on, notably her official coronation. Uranus puts in an appearance conjunct the ascendant. The solar return chart for the year her father died and she became queen would be for 1951-52, posted below.
Sun on the natal 3rd house cusp, with Mercury and Mars already there suggest media attention in mundane astrology. There is a focus in the SR chart on the moon and Neptune on the 8th house cusp. I don't like death prediction in astrology but I think it can indicate when someone is thinking about death--which is expected in the case of a father's death.
In mundane astrology, the 7th house indicates foreign affairs--relations with other nations such as treaties and conflicts. It is interesting to see SR Pluto conjunct the 7th house SR cusp. It would appear that major changes are afoot, and with the SR ascendant in opposition, she's in the hot seat.
I note that in QE2's natal chart, Saturn conjuncts the MC, retrograde in the 9th. She presided over the dismantling of the British empire with the emergence of the Commonwealth of Nations, and Britain's loss of stature as a major economic force. In mundane astrology, the 9th house indicates religion, and as head of the Church of England, Q. Elizabeth also presided over its decline in membership and public influence.
Anyway, there is tons more there, but I would love to see a traditional astrologer explain the impact of February 6, 1952 in Elizabeth II's life, using the whole sign house system and the 7 traditional planets, posted in my previous message.
