Camilla, Queen Consort

Camilla, Queen Consort carries the heart of the crab through and through: a soul born to nurture, to shelter, to hold others inside the soft protection of her own shell. Her Sun and Moon both sit in Cancer, the sign of the mother, and this is what I call a double whammy Moon: the Moon standing in her own home, the mother goddess archetype, a person whose whole being is tuned to family, roots and quiet loyalty. Both luminaries rest in the twelfth house, the unknowable house of spirit and things that happen behind the veil, and here she learned to guard the tender person within, to love faithfully in the shadows for many years before that love could stand in the light. Her Leo Ascendant is the mask of the queen: regal presence, signature hair, the composure to enter a room and be seen. Born on the seventeenth of July, 1947, in London, she was long married to Andrew Parker Bowles, and her decades-long bond with Charles finally became marriage in 2005. In 2022 she became Queen. A private, watery, maternal soul who wears the lion's crown.
