Meghan Markle and Prince Harry just can’t quit making headlines.
But before Harry’s bombshell BBC interview last week threatened to open old wounds with the Royal Family, Meghan’s appearance on her friend Jamie Kern Lima’s podcast was making noise for other reasons.
Indeed, one major point of intrigue from the duchess’s 90-minute chat with the IT Cosmetics founder was Meghan’s claim that she was born to do what she’s doing today.
‘Someone said to me last year, when I sat down, they said, ‘Well, you know, this is your soul contract. You signed up for this. You signed up for this before you were here’,’ she told Jamie.
Is Meghan saying her ‘soul contract’ is to fulfil her destiny by embracing the spotlight through a Netflix deal, lifestyle brand and podcast?
If so, it would be written in her stars!
As Princess Diana’s astrologer, I can definitively say Meghan was literally born to attract attention.
It is indeed her soul contract, as laid out in her astrological birth chart.
As Princess Diana’s astrologer, I can definitively say Meghan was literally born to attract attention.
Meghan was born on August 4, 1981 at 4.46 am in Los Angeles, California – which makes her a Leo, a showy Sun sign. At the time, I wrote that Harry was marrying a ‘firecracker’ who would need to be center stage and make a name for herself in her own right.
Every soul has a contract, or a destiny, which they need to fulfil during their life on Earth – and Meghan is no different.
Looking to the immediate future and the year ahead, I can see we’re approaching something of a turning point for Meghan, with her stars revealing that 2025 marks a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her to forge her own path and make a huge impact.
But it could also cause trouble in her relationship with Prince Harry with their soul contracts soon pulling them in opposite directions.
I have been working on Royal charts for decades and had the privilege of being Princess Diana’s personal astrologer from 1989 until her death in 1997.
Diana was an incredibly spiritual person and hugely interested in astrology, so we would often talk about the charts of all members of the Royal Family.
In her husband Charles, for example, she recognised that his need for secrecy was a typically Scorpio quality.
Many people have asked me if I foresaw anything ‘bad’ prior to Diana’s death but it’s unethical to either look for or predict death (astrology is primarily a healing tool rather than a psychic one).
Diana and I did, however, discuss the seismic eclipse that was coming up on September 1, 1997 – the date she was due to return from Paris and be reunited with her boys.
I knew something big was going to happen around that day and, in my experience, eclipses are often portents of major Royal events. Diana and Charles were married on one and both William and Kate were born on one.
The Princess had hoped that the eclipse in September 1997 might mean something positive but, sadly, it foretold one of the most tragic days in history: Diana died the night before the eclipse.
It wasn’t the last time I would foresee something troubling for the Royal Family.
Astrologer Debbie Frank was Princess Diana’s personal astrologer from 1989 until her death in 1997.
Before Meghan’s wedding to Harry in May 2018, I was asked to write about her birth chart.
Meghan was born on August 4, 1981 at 4.46 am in Los Angeles, California – which makes her a Leo, a showy Sun sign.
At the time, I wrote that Harry was marrying a ‘firecracker’ who would need to be center stage and make a name for herself in her own right.
Privately, I wondered if she would ever fit into the strictures of the Royal Family, unable to be Queen of her own domain.
My work as an astrologer has led me to focus on soul contracts – they are the subject of my latest book, Who You Came Here To Be – and, from looking at Meghan’s birth chart, I can see that, rather than being a Royal wife in the traditional sense, it was her destiny to create her own place in the world.
Her North Node (the key significator of the soul contract) is in Leo in the 1st house position, which means it really is all about her.
Now back in California, she will certainly gain more confidence and self-esteem from doing her own thing instead of walking several steps behind Kate and William.
Meghan’s chart also places her Moon close to Jupiter and Saturn in Libra, which means she experiences an ‘up and down’ quality to her life.
The Duchess is no stranger to life’s downs: her parents’ divorce, her own failed first marriage and her tumultuous exit from the Royal Family.
Yet she works hard to find a way to gain favor and opportunities, and is emerging with her own brand – though that, in itself, has been met with the classically Jupiter/Saturn marmite response from the public.
While she can reach a large audience, her Moon’s closeness to Saturn suggests she is always under scrutiny and feels criticism strongly.
In many ways, no matter what she achieves, she will always feel the need to prove herself more.
This planetary combination drives her onwards in an unrelenting quest to be loved.
No one person or audience could be enough.
Ultimately, she may say she wants to ‘make a difference’ but, truly, the real difference she needs to make is to herself: to temper the ego and need for adulation from the outside world, and replace it with inner self-love.
It is unclear whether Meghan will continue with her current ventures – her Netflix cookery show, her lifestyle brand and her new podcast – but it almost doesn’t matter what arena she chooses, the important point will always be for her is to shine.
She will always move on to the next way to ‘get out there’ and achieve fame and fortune.
Her ambitions will only get bigger. For in 2026, Pluto will oppose her Mercury and she will be more determined than ever to be a powerful media star.
For now, even though her recent ventures have received mixed reviews, Meghan’s star remains in the ascendant and she will get a boost from abundant Jupiter crossing over her Mars later this Summer.
She really needs to make the most of that and capitalize on another opportunity later in the year when Jupiter moves on to her Rising Sign, thrusting her even further into the limelight.
She is then due to face some troubled waters in 2026 which involve a major reality check.
It seems to me that Meghan is keenly aware of her own soul contract and is forging onwards with a purposeful sense of direction. The same cannot be said of her husband.
From Harry’s chart, it looks as if he’s lost himself in recent years under Neptune’s dispiriting influence.
Volatile, reactive Uranus has also been on his Moon putting him at loggerheads with his family. He’s been side-tracked by so many battles.
It’s been non-stop rebellion and as Uranus is due to electrify his North Node in June for a 10-month period, will he get a wake-up call as to what matters most in life?
As a Virgo, born September 15, Prince Harry is easily pushed into a subservient role, a bit part in someone else’s story and, since moving to America, that’s what he’s become in his marriage to leading lady Meghan.
Virgos thrive on the concept of service and Harry needs to anchor himself in this again.
The military suited his earthy nature, something his mother and I talked about when he was just a young boy.
He needs to ground himself in reality, and apply himself to meaningful work – otherwise he is in danger of getting swept up into Meghan’s goals and ambitions which don’t align with his own soul contract.
Harry’s North Node is in stable Taurus – in the 4th house of family, home and inner well-being.
These are areas where Harry should settle his heart.
Instead, he is constantly pulling himself back to the opposite point of South Node in Scorpio which spells drama.
Straight after last week’s legal ruling, for example, Harry spoke to the BBC about his desire for ‘reconciliation’ with King Charles in particular.
He yearns for it, whilst at the same time sabotaging it!
It seems as if Meghan and Harry’s differing soul contracts are pulling them in opposite directions.
Meghan needs to further herself – while Harry needs to reconnect with his country and family. Whether this is even possible with so much water under the royal bridge remains to be seen. Hopefully, fate will find a way.
