While her title is HRH The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, with her impeccable tailoring, steely reserve, penchant for “editing,” and avoidance of vulnerability is every strategic stitch a Capricorn queen.
Our lady of the structured shoulder pads has long been a source of tabloid fixation, but her recent press coverage is a downright PSA for her sun sign.
Born on Jan. 9, 1982, Middleton is a GTFO-of-my-way Capricorn sun with an emotionally sunburned Cancer moon.
Capricorn rules the 10th house of public life, the natural domain of stone-faced leaders and stiff upper lips. Symbolized by the ever-striving sea goat, Capricorn lives to rise through the ranks, and being Queen is just about the tip top of the festering blue-blood class and caste system, folks.
A Capricorn nightmare scenario is the one that unfolded Monday when Middleton, who is said to be recovering from abdominal surgery, was forced to issue an apology for editing a family photo that was distributed to the media.
Recovering? Apologizing? Public disclosure of convalescence? Hate, hate, double hate.
Cosplaying conspiracy theorists, paste-eating incels, and eagle-eyed trolls have been studying the princess’s doctored post-surgery family photo, alleging the image is not only heavily edited but a botched cut-and-paste job of Middleton’s 2016 Vogue magazine shoot.
Why has Middleton been absent from public life following her mysterious surgery? A Capricorn would never allow themselves to look a mess.
All Cap/zero chill
Capricorns have a punishing idea of “do what must be done and do what is expected” — even, and perhaps most especially when they are falling the f–k apart.
Capricorns do not ask for help. Capricorns insist they’ve got it under control even as they’re coughing up blood and holding their entrails in their bare hands.

Capricorns are oxygenated/eroticized by difficulty. It lets them flex resilience and prove they can eventually overcome the pain they’re experiencing.
The worse it is, the more “OK” they are determined to appear, a performance of propriety we see in Middleton time and again.
Saturn’s daughter
Ruled by Saturn, the punishing planet of tough love and hard knocks, Caps are low-key appalled by emotional outbursts or open weakness. They lacquer their hair, Photoshop their children, and flagellate their feelings ’til those unruly bastards stay good and repressed where they belong.
These qualities make Middleton a tweed-swaddled lady in the streets ideal of British royalty, ever devoted to ensuring the incendiary and downright complex mechanics of royal family life stay buttoned up and under wraps.
‘Never complain never explain?’ B—h please, Caps are born to give steely, stoic and silent.
“Never complain, never explain?” B—h please, sea goats are born to give steely, stoic, and silent.
Saturn upholds structure and standards, problematic and otherwise. It endures. It has a struggle kink, and it wears dad jeans.
The influence of Saturn supports the play it safe/stodgy, keep it old guard air of the monarchy — and Middleton’s public persona within it.
Meanwhile, Middleton’s Cancer moon cries out like the poor unfortunate polyps in Ursula’s garden for tenderness and release. A Cancer moon, the mooniest and moodiest of moons, learns early on how dangerous their emotional nature can be, and with a Cap moon, trust that she’s been trying to suppress and impress her whole damn life.
Sun moon opposition
As my childhood best friend, a fellow Cap sun/Cancer moon explains, “I’m fine is my mantra.”
The sun represents our vitality, our yang energy, and where we shine. In contrast, the moon is tied to retreat and reaction, instinct and emotion, yin energy.
Middleton’s sun and moon are opposites of one another, indicating a true disconnect between her image and her emotional nature.
In terms of iconography, the sea goat/crab combo is guarded, operating under a blockade of exoskeleton and horns that ensures no one is getting to her soft underbelly.
It tracks that Middleton would spend the bulk of her adult life in armored cars and behind castle walls.

Cancer and Cap both care deeply about how they are perceived by others — and both signs are desperate for approval and acceptance and terrified of rejection.
Due to their guarded nature, these desires and fears come across as cold and closed off, and they have a tendency to judge/reject.
The MO here is, “If I make you feel ignored/inferior, you won’t notice how insecure I am.”
Tale as old as oppression, folks.
Future of the reserved regent
Mars, the planet of action and aggression, reveals how we get it on and get it done. Middleton’s Mars in Libra forms a not-so-sunny square with both her sun in Cap and her moon in Cancer.
This double-trouble aspect indicates a heightened sensitivity, an iron-clad defense mechanism, and a true insatiability for personal power and professional prestige.
Buckle up, Buckingham — next month’s full solar eclipse in Aries will form a nearly exact square with Middleton’s sun in Capricorn. This suggests struggles with male authority figures and ego crises are at hand for Saturn’s princess.
How the chips will fall when the sun goes dark remains to be seen, but the etymology of crisis shows us the root is the Greek krisis or “decision,” indicating that this spring, Middleton has the power to and the privilege of choosing a radical new way of being.
