Prince Charles was on 14 November June 1948, 21:14 GMT, Friday. This is an astro-chart for noon on that day.

Moon 30’ Aries

The first thing to notice is the lone Moon (Full Moon) that is in opposition to other planets. There is a great distance, almost a chasm, between his internal world and the outside world. It is a direct inheritance of mother energy - more notable as his Moon is in the exact position of his mother's Sun.
So the influence of a mother is very strong, and he had to learn to keep his emotions at bay, at a distance. However with a full moon it is not always possible and tantrums can fluctuate in his life.
He felt lonely in his childhood, a great distance between himself and others.
Life focus is concentrated on forming relationships and all relations with other people have a significant influence on his personal life-path, that is very reflective, and often secretive (most planets in the III quarter).
Prince Charles Sun has some setbacks, when under the influence of transits. At such critical times, the Sun's negative features may prevail, in which case it may have a paralysing or overpowering effect, although, physically Scorpio Sun has tremendous regenerative powers.
Male Scorpio Sun is more in control of own emotions, yet it remains deeply perceptive and penetrative in all matters. Scorpios tend to have deeper interested in psychology, philosophy, religion, and the likes, and need to have strong sense of meaning in life - it is a purposeful force.
With the dive in their own inner world, full of mysteries, with almost a psychic connections - it makes Scorpio so distinctive that is hardly understood by others, unless there are other Scorpios (Crabs or Pisces) around.
No one takes relationships, in the Zodiacal family, more seriously then Scorpio. They like partners of strength and power and usually have in disregard those who are weak and sentimental. This of course tells a bit about the father-figure influence and his strong personality.
Moon lone influence on the cusp of Aries and Taurus had put a deep impact on Prince Charles psyche. Full Moon gives a strong inner personality, that may be appear in a form of stubbornness, haughtiness, or self-allowance to privilege. With oppositions to almost every other planet - it might have caused some real disturbances and nervousness in childhood in relation to all others.
Sharing and mutual exchange, understanding, and respect are important. Building good rapport is not easy however, at first. Has to learn how friendship works, how to cooperate. Picking and choosing words carefully, speaking slowly, with authority. Careful with what to reveal to others.
Sometimes not able to communicate own feelings and moods, and understand feeling of others, especially women. Deceiving, lying to others. Being dishonest, unfaithful. Does not like emotional states in others, yet may be prone to emotional tantrums himself.
Jupiter, in its ruling sign, Sagittarius, exactly at the point of Winter Solstice, (Prince Andrew (brother) and Prince Harry (son) have Jupiter in the same position) with opposition to Uranus, predicting an important role in life to play. It adds some pompousness, and a sense of festivity, exuberance, frivolity, some erratic outlook or behaviour - at least as seen by the general public.
Can enjoy quick results - whatever wishes - it is granted. Having a lot of ideas that enrich the life experience. And life is considered rather like a holiday or vacations but with the sense of vocation. Some business travel, to promote own visions and they refer to ecological matters. Study and travel are the two main focal points.
Uranus R in 30' Gemini, (1942-1949) Summer Solstice point. Rapid technological advancement especially in the air forces (jet engines, radars). Personally - it adds to Prince Charles high eccentricity in the peer group.
Neptune in Libra (1942-1956), influencing Prince Charles and people born around this time, signifying the need for an ideal partner (conjunct Venus).
Sun - Persona

Sun is our overall external personality which we usually take from a father figure in our formative years. To some extent it shows our father's personality (or rather how we perceive it). It shows our vitality, areas of life-interest and how we approach life in general. It has the most important influence on all the other planets.
Sun in Scorpio is very profound. It gives a deep insight into life situations, and the person is driven by strong desires and a sense of control. Last ten degrees of Scorpio bring more gentle and kind energy to the personality. Prince Charles is certainly not a macho man, although his father wanted him to be. He is much more reflective if not on a depressive and pessimistic note - sometimes. He is able to empathises with others more, without trying to dominate them. Explosions of ill-temper still may happen, though.
Prince Charles personality is a little offbeat, we all know that. With the knowledge of astrology we can pinpoint why, and how. Scorpio passion and charisma is enhanced by the Full Moon, it facilitates success, prominence or - notoriety - if stepping on the wrong path.
Prince Charles Sun has some setbacks, when under the influence of transits. At such critical times, the Sun's negative features may prevail, in which case it may have a paralysing or overpowering effect, although, physically Scorpio Sun has tremendous regenerative powers.
Male Scorpio Sun is more in control of own emotions, yet it remains deeply perceptive and penetrative in all matters. Scorpios tend to have deeper interested in psychology, philosophy, religion, and the likes, and need to have strong sense of meaning in life - it is a purposeful force.

No one takes relationships, in the Zodiacal family, more seriously then Scorpio. They like partners of strength and power and usually have in disregard those who are weak and sentimental. This of course tells a bit about the father-figure influence and his strong personality.
This pattern is seen through the Sun - Saturn square, which is connected to his father's Jupiter and Saturn in Virgo, and both planets are often the 'father figure' in astro-chart. It made him somewhat awkward at first with his duties, but as the years pass we all learn the Saturn lessons.

Moon is our internal personality. Moon is connected to what we have learned from our Mother in the very early age of our childhood. Thus it is directly responsible for our programmed instinctive behaviour, care, nurture and support we need and give away, and level of intuition. It shows - to some extent - our mother's character (or how we have perceived it), how and when we feel most safe and secure, and in what areas lies our innate sense of belonging.
Note, that his natal Moon position exactly reflects the position of the Sun in his mother, Queen Elizabeth II astro-chart, and his Sun position is exactly where his grandmother's, the Queen Mother, Moon is.
This is of course not a coincidence, we see a lot of such important correlation between family members, and this is why comparative astrology can be a great tool to understand ourselves and each other, more.
There is a lack of emotional understanding in childhood and longing for one. Easily swayed by the atmosphere and reactions of others, sensitive and emotional, easily offended. Difficult relations with peers/siblings. Such person needs a lot of attention to inner feelings, a lot of intimacy and privacy.
Felt lonely during childhood, somehow got over it and now does not mind his own company, being left on its own, and needs time alone. Contemplative disposition.
Aries Moon is happy-go-lucky creature, in general. Forward looking, a bit moody, temperamental. This is later in life, when mother influence stops and after learning to discern critical, judgemental thoughts, will flourish more.
Being outdoors in the wildlife has a calming effect on Aries Moon.
Mercury - Intellect
Mercury 6’ Scorpio
Opposition Moon
Mercury is how our mind works and its influence is most pronounced in our late childhood years - when we start to learn and recognize things. We are surrounded by many people but most of all we are interested in our peer group or siblings. We learn from them, we are interested how the 'dynamics' of this larger community works and how we can communicate with it. Thus, Mercury shows - the early age environment, ability to learn, areas of interests, and communication skills.
Mercury in first degrees of Scorpio, on the line of Samhain, produces mind that is deep, focused, inquisitive, and analytical. Wants to get to the depth of the matter. Sharp and efficient with language but can be secretive, sceptical, and suspicious. Great deal of mental pressure. Cold logic. Interested in secrecy, conspiracy, hidden agendas, metaphysics, psychology, politics, research.
Sharing and mutual exchange, understanding, and respect are important. Building good rapport is not easy however, at first. Has to learn how friendship works, how to cooperate. Picking and choosing words carefully, speaking slowly, with authority. Careful with what to reveal to others.
Sometimes not able to communicate own feelings and moods, and understand feeling of others, especially women. Deceiving, lying to others. Being dishonest, unfaithful. Does not like emotional states in others, yet may be prone to emotional tantrums himself.
Venus - Heart
16' Libra
Opposition Moon
Conjunct Neptune
Venus is the planet of love and attraction - in broad terms - what we love, how we love, and who we love. We are quite early aware of what we are appreciative of - in things and people. It tells us about the early teenage years when we were growing up to learn about love for the first time - and how this carries out on through our life. It tells what we value in love relationships.
Venus in mid Libra, conjunct Neptune. Prince Charles needs a lot of love and attention in close relationships to almost a heavenly degree. He needs to connect on spiritual level with a woman of his life.
Very gentle heart, good-natured, kind, polite; romantic, idealistic, and - unrealistic about love. Sympathetic, sociable, tactful, diplomatic, having a good taste. Pleasant social circle (XI Mansion). Avoids open conflicts. Goes out of the way to be nice to people.
Love affairs are of the head - mutual interests - rather than the heart. Refined, good manners are important. Leisure time is kept in high esteem. Physical grace. Likes to have many close friends.
In adolescent years there was a fantasy about love, daydreaming as escapism, isolation from the real world. It produced the shallowness or forced falsehood of feelings. He was a bit whimsical, irresponsible, behaving like a spoiled child. Capriciousness, a cavalier attitude. Unrealistic in love and longing for love.
conjunct Jupiter
oppose Uranus
We meet Mars energy in our late teen years - when we learn to be confident in our behaviour and participate in life through in action. Mars describes how we act and behave while facing the life challenges and everyday situations.
Mars in Sagittarius - not an angry person but can get fanatical about things he believes in. A man of action, likes to be involved and make an impact, inspire others, have exotic adventures. Needs to be on the move, and on a grand move (Jupiter) in a role that can be seen and admired.
Self-assertive, lively, exuberant. Loves engaging in fun, sportive activities. Needs a lot of space and freedom for being active, preferably outdoors. Traveling a lot abroad, connecting with foreign cultures. Often interested in sharp objects, weaponry, shooting. Taking long walks is advisable with Mars in Sagittarius.
Can be careless and reckless as this corresponds to Sagittarius animal nature - raw and untamed energy. The conflicting urges of high and low can be a sign of great versatility. Some extravagance in doing things. A direct approach is most obvious in bed, and would not hesitate if an affair is on the horizon.
Jupiter - Role
29' Sagittarius
Opposition Uranus
Jupiter is a planet of our growth, expansion, encouragement, allies. In the young years we are inspired by a particular set of values or roles we imagine to play in life. When we reach maturity - the Jupiter years - we should be able to play this role - it is part of our natural calling.
Jupiter role here is to make an impact, to improve things on a grand scale. There is a very good deal of optimism and a sense that Good Fortune, Luck, Prosperity is on his side, especially in the mature years.
There are high aspirations, popularity, high public profile - leading by example, but the opposition from Uranus indicates a rather harsh rationality, inflexible view points, eccentricity, which may not be tolerable by others. Sudden dramatic changes in life that shatter opinion, being laughed at for one's own inadequate behaviour.
Can enjoy quick results - whatever wishes - it is granted. Having a lot of ideas that enrich the life experience. And life is considered rather like a holiday or vacations but with the sense of vocation. Some business travel, to promote own visions and they refer to ecological matters. Study and travel are the two main focal points.
Saturn - Lore
5' Virgo
Square Sun
Saturn is a planet of Destiny. The primal 'Lore' is what we are born with,. This is where we start our life: in what background we grow up (hardly we can choose it), and what is the main task 'to master ' in our existence. The second 'Lore' is what we are becoming in our old age, and the 'Lore' we are eventually leave behind. Saturn has to be always carefully considered with the Sun and Moon Sign and its aspects.
Saturn in 5' Virgo - well organized and disciplined everyday life. Possible service and servants around household. Following the rules, being obedient.
Responsibilities in everyday life, at work. Position of authority and service at the same time. Maturity and proper behaviour is needed from the early years. Lessons in prudence, morality, modesty, humility.
Opportunities for advancement are slow. May have to work extra hard or extra long. Restrictions in job opportunities. Cursed with one job, one place to live. Feeling doomed in everyday life, at times. Living up to somebody expectations.
In later years, practical and hard working. Meticulous, attentive, concerned with efficiency, sense of duty.
Although initially unpleasant, it leads to creative outcomes. of bright minds willing to share opinions openly. It is also a significance for leadership on the level of organisation of ideas, people, thoughts, visions. The goal is to obtain obtain and maintain order.
Uran - Neptune - Pluto
Generational Planets
Generational planets give us a social and historical background. They stay in one Zodiac Sign for several years, shaping the views, opinions and general vibe of a generation. They have less personal influence but if they are engaged in primary aspects, they have an impact on our psyche.
Uranus 30’ Gemini, Neptune 14’ Libra, Pluto 16’ Leo
In his case this is due to his heirloom to the British throne. An explosion of ideas on a quite convoluted and tumultuous background. Uranus had a direct impact on Prince Charles mature years, introducing many rapid and unexpected changes.
In his early formative year, Uranus was in Crab (1948-1955). This placement has a strong and turbulent influence on family circle, especially brothers, sisters and mother, as they are seen as quite original, eccentric and cut off from the rest of us. All the behaviour in the Royal family being widely published in the press, having complex impact on his whole life.
Neptune in Libra (1942-1956), influencing Prince Charles and people born around this time, signifying the need for an ideal partner (conjunct Venus).
These were years to pretend that everything is all right, to be a complacent conformist. Status Quo is what counted most, agreement to the social rules that overwritten the individualistic needs. For Charles it brought additionally and idealistic vision of marriage and partnership, that was bound with strong infatuation, complacency with Diana marriage, but eventually a strong, almost psychic connection with his later partner and wife, Camilla.
Pluto in Leo (1940-1960) - the baby-boomers that had been brought-up in the post-war climate, with a robust energy, a sense of self-importance and radiance, wanting to create a better world that fits all, but with a strong fatherly rule.
