We had an astrologer read Meghan Markle’s chart on her birthday — here’s what it reveals about her year ahead

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is celebrating her 40th birthday after quite a tumultuous year. Following the controversial conversation with Oprah Winfrey, she and husband Prince Harry faced harsh criticism, with some royal fanatics even calling for them to lose their honorific titles.

That said, a final resolution to the royal family feud may just be in the cards, and soon. When Meghan gave birth to Lilibet ‘Lili’ Diana Mountbatten-Windsor in June, the royals across the pond said they were “delighted” by the happy news. What’s more, Queen Elizabeth “absolutely” plans on inviting the Duke and Duchess to her Platinum Jubilee in 2022 — so we’d say things are certainly looking in a positive direction.

Still curious, we sought out someone who actually specialises in making predictions, and had an astrologer reveal what the stars have have in store for the duchess, whose sun sign is Leo.

“Meghan’s birth chart is dominated by the elements fire and air,” Valerie Mesa, a Miami-based clairvoyant-astrologer, tells indy100. “Fire has everything to do with one’s courage, and the way we take action towards the things we’re most passionate about. Air is symbolic of the mental process, and the way one communicates. It’s about the facts and the logic of the situation.”

“It’s no wonder she is so brave and fiercely determined when it comes to speaking her truth,” Mesa continues. “She is an incredibly passionate and righteous human being, who prefers to take action, especially if that means making a difference. The element fire can also validate her experience in the entertainment industry, considering it was her career before marrying into the royal family.”

Speaking of entertainment, Mesa says that “the presence of both the Sun and Mercury in her first house is pretty much equivalent to being born with a spotlight over her head and a microphone in her hand.” Thus, in addition to her Libra moon’s justice-seeking mentality, “she speaks from the heart despite the discomfort that may come along with it. This reminds me of her Oprah interview, where she revealed some disturbing truths about her time living in the palace.”

Further reminiscent of Meghan’s time in the palace is her Cancer Ascendant — or “rising” — according to Mesa. “Markle’s Cancer Rising—ruled by the moon—[means that] part of her divine mission on the planet has to do with ancestral themes and matters of the home, family, and one’s sense of nurture. This, again, resonates with her challenging times in the palace, where she had no choice but to ‘mother herself’ and consider the safety of her child.

“Cancer is in harmony with her Uranus in Scorpio…This validates her powerful intuition, her inner rebel, and her karmic duty when it came to breaking her silence. Because in the eyes of the royal family, she did a very “taboo-like” thing, [like a Scorpio].”

So what does the the next year have in store for Meghan?

“Meghan’s overall sense of belonging in the world has been top of mind with the North Node in Gemini and the South Node in Sagittarius. Fate has given her the opportunity to find peace in being part of a community where she can be authentically herself now that she’s living her new life in California with her family, as opposed to the restrictions and toxicity that came along with her fame once upon a time,” Mesa says.

“I dare to say, once the North Node reaches Taurus — between December 2022 and July 2023 — she will keep thriving as an entrepreneur, and perhaps reestablish or revolutionize her occupation in the world,” she continues. “This could even be something she’s already been working on behind the scenes, whether it be a lifestyle brand or something philanthropic.”

Let’s wait and see how everything unfolds.
