Meghan, Duchess of Sussex - A Controversial Leo

Meghan Markle, Dutches of Sussex, has her Sun in the royal sign of Leo. She was born on August 4th 1981. Her Sun is in the first house of her chart, making her a very charismatic woman. With the Sun in Leo, Meghan will have a natural warmth about her that attracts others. She will have a playful nature and a strong desire to express herself. Her children will be her most precious creations.

Meghan was born with the sign Cancer Rising. She is therefore ruled by the Moon. The Moon represents the feminine in the birth chart and indeed Meghan finds causes that involve empowering women, close to her heart. Those with Cancer Rising can often be perceived as cold and unfeeling. Nothing could be further than the truth. Just like the crab with its protective shel, Cancer Rising folk tend to use what is perceived as a cold demeanour, as a barrier to protect themselves from the harshness of the world. Their kind & sensitive souls are shown only to those they trust.

Meghan's Moon is in the sign of Libra, indicating that she is most comfortable when she is in the presence of another. In fact, she has four planets in Libra, so she isn't someone who likes to do things alone.Meghan has majority of her planets under the horizon.

Her Moon is conjunct Saturn, an aspect which is often known as the sad self. This aspect brings the ability to make decisions based on reason, not emotion. Meghan needs to remember that her feelings are an important part of her decision-making process.

Mars is tucked away in the twelfth house and rules her public life. Chiron, however, is the highest entity in her chart, which indicates that her wounds are going to be on display for all to see.

Meghan has Mercury in Leo, so her communication skills will be warm and friendly. She may, however, tend to dramatise things at times. Her Venus is in Virgo, which can be a challenging placement. Meghan needs to remember that she is loved for who she is, not for what she does for others.
