With Queen Elizabeth’s passing and the royal family prominently featured in the news this week, I decided to take a look at their Planetary Blueprints and discovered some really interesting similarities among them. These similarities are in their Primal Desire nature.
Our Primal Desire nature, aka our field of Wealth, is what we regard as wealth, what is most valuable to us; that is aside from money which is what most of us regard as wealth. But true wealth is what we desire most, if we had all of the money we could ever want, what is it we truly desire?
For instance, Mercury governs my Primal Desire nature which is the desire for esoteric knowledge and to share it, which is undoubtedly why I am sharing this with you now.
When Mars is in a person’s Primal Desire nature they have a desire for self-sufficiency and power. That is power over themselves (sovereignty, self-sufficiency) and power over others. Mars is, as you might well imagine, a fiery, dynamic energy. In its lower vibrations it can be angry and even war-like. But in its higher vibrations it is just pure dynamism, the call to action, indomitable spirit.
Interestingly, all of the current line of succession of the British royal family have Mars as their Primal Desire nature, beginning with Queen Elizabeth ll and extending down through King Charles lll, Prince William, and Prince William’s eldest son George. You might say that ascending to the throne is their karmic destiny.
The Queen or King serve as examples of sovereignty, and are referred to as the ‘Sovereign’. And perhaps that is why they are revered as much as they are. Their appeal is to that sovereign archetypal nature which most of us long for and have to varying degrees.
And, the Primal Desire nature of Prince Harry, who is not in the direct line of succession to the throne, is not governed by Mars. It is governed by the Moon which is the desire for deep emotional bonding. The Moon is the nurturing aspect of our being, our emotional body. So family takes priority and is his primary duty. This may at least partly explain why Prince Harry stepped away from the royal life to protect his wife Meghan and their children from what some may experience as a restrictive way of life.
An interesting aspect of our Primal Desire nature is that we may not be consciously aware of it, which is of course also true of all of the Fields of Living which represent each aspect of our innate nature. Whenever I give a Planetary Blueprint, most of the fields ring true on a deep soul level and contribute to a person’s self knowledge and appreciation of their uniqueness, as well as a general acceptance of themselves and others. But not always. Sometimes these are more deeply ingrained in our unconscious and are only revealed with a deeper level of soul searching. And, they tend to manifest in somewhat different ways.
For instance, Queen Elizabeth’s Mars is in Capricorn in her birth chart right alongside Jupiter. So, since Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and is the most practical, down-to-Earth energy of the zodiac, her Mars and thus also her Primal Desire nature will have a very practical and tradition-bound flavor to it. And because Jupiter is so close to her Mars and her Ascendant (the constellation rising on the Eastern horizon at the moment of her birth) is Jupiter-ruled Sagittarius, her desire nature was tempered by a sense of duty, justice, fairness, equality, magnanimity.
King Charles’ Mars is strong in its own sign of Scorpio which gives him more of a supportive and nourishing quality. And, his Ascendant is Moon-ruled Cancer, the emotional nurturing energy. But Jupiter is in its own sign in Sagittarius giving him a similar sense of duty, justice, and fairness as his mother Queen Elizabeth.
Here are all of the Primal desires:
Sun – desire for leadership and adulation., to be seen.
Moon – desire for deep emotional bonding, nurturing.
Mars – desire for self-sufficiency, sovereignty and power.
Mercury – desire for all forms of deep, esoteric knowledge and the opportunity to express it.
Jupiter – desire for community and fellowship with others.
Venus – desire for ideal love relationships and beauty in all its forms.
Saturn – desire for a more private, hermetic life.
Nodes of the Moon, Rahu and Ketu – desire to be a rebel, revolutionary, outlaw and to purify society of outdated, outmoded conventions and institutions.
Now of course we can have more than one of these desires, though there is one of these that is our Primary desire, that is Primal in our nature.
You may, of course, use your own intuition and deep soul searching to discover your Primal Desire nature. And/or you can sign up for a Planetary Blueprint reading here. No one is turned away for lack of funds.
