Sun - Persona
Sun 11’ Leo
Conjunct Mercury. Square Moon.
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 11’ Leo always produces an impressive demeanour. Sense of grandeur, poise, style, distinction.. Gracefulness, kind-heartedness, virtue. Unpretentious pride, can be pompous, extravagant. Refinement, distinctiveness, cheerful approach, goodwill. Self-command, self-willed, wilful, a product of her own creation, to honour and admire. Not shying away from responsibilities but prefer leisure activities. Life is a stage.
Executive flair. Achieving whatever goal is set. Searching for new challenges and conquest.
Square to Moon in Scorpio - it gives more willpower and some of the manipulative qualities, strong emotions and perhaps a bit of possessiveness or/and vanity.
Lovely father/husband, with royal like qualities; support in marriage.
Moon - Soul
Moon 20’ Scorpio
First Quarter. Square Mercury. Conjunct Jupiter.
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.
Moon 20’ Scorpio, relates to the Scorpio Moon of her husband, king George VI. It seems like they had their secrets and share them between them, as Scorpio is rather secretive character. The privilege of power actually suited them well, and although this sign is very passionate, it can - as no other - be in control of the inside and outside circumstances.
Emotionally supercharged. Passion - but hiding true feelings. Firmly protecting own privacy, especially at home.
As for every women with Moon in Scorpio, there always will be at least a wee sense of slight dissatisfaction, a yearning, a sorrow, a resentment, if not bitterness. This is overcome with powerful tenacity if not obstinance. The enormous Inner Strength, coupled with the influence of mighty Jupiter, allows for much independence in relationships, and more command over it. Able to influence others and strong in the face of adversity, knowing no fear.
The First Quarter Moon generates 'doers', focused on themselves, on their own creation, proud of themselves, their achievements. The emotional commitment is high as well as the desire for autonomy.
Full self-expression is somehow blocked, however. Too arguments and too defensive, may become “one’s own worst enemy”. Early life was likely to be over-stimulating and tense. Relationships can be turbulent until the native learns to compromise.
Mother had a strong personality, sense of obligation and tremendous amount of self-confidence.
Mercury - Intellect
Mercury 6’ Leo
Conjunct Sun.
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 6’ Leo likes gregarious fun, is exuberant to the point of being extravagant. Likes engagement with the public, speaks with pride and dignity. Can be a bit patronising and theatrical.
The early environment was full of fun and pride, spending time among boys, male members of the family such as brothers and cousins. Many interesting, creative friends.
The mind is triggered when there is a potential for glory and self-expression. The way he/she communicates can be a bit childlike, likes to hear appreciation. Adores sharing information about others, tendency to gossip.
Venus - Heart
Venus 8’ Crab
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 8’ Crab gives strong femininity and quite high level of emotions on the domestic scene. There is a strong bond with mother, family home. Caring, attracted to a peaceful and luxurious home, oozing affluence. Sentimental, nostalgic, cherishing the past, gathering or collecting beloved objects. Likes to entertain people at home.
Attitude toward relationships is one of nurturing or "mothering," may cling tightly to those loved, being very protective. A partner needs to provide stability, warm, intimate romance, be kind and sympathetic.
Can be easily hurt, but will hide this vulnerability behind a somewhat dignified exterior.
Mars - Will
Mars 26’ Gemini
Conjunct Neptune, Pluto. Oppose Saturn.
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 26’ Gemini announces a confidence in behaviour and much self-reliance. There is highly spirited physical vitality, and much activity going on. Somewhat lofty in the gestures, high-flown. self-conducting, even ostentatious.
Desire to be engaged in many and multiple activities. Likes to shine through action; social connections are important. Apt to get into arguments with peers and can be quite fidgety at times where there is little to do.

Jupiter 30’ Scorpio
Conjunct 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.

Good for inheritance. Progress up the ladder. Often an indicator of great wealth. Bountiful resources.
There may be a power struggles in relationships, involving individual beliefs.
Saturn - Lore
Saturn 29’ Sagittarius
Oppose Mars, Neptune.
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.

Queen Mother Personality
The Rows:
Upper Row - Moon - Sun - Mercury - when you first meet a person, you sense the configuration of this upper layer. A great flamboyance, playfulness, dignity and pride of Leo with a reserved, secretive yet passionate Moon in Scorpio.
Middle Row - Venus - Jupiter - Mars - is what you get to know about a person when you spend some time around them. This is a family/friends circle. Playing a dominant role in the family circle, showing strong will and caring attitude. Can be vindictive or manipulative in order to obtain control and own goals.
Under Row - Neptune - Saturn - Uranus - is what is most hidden, and you know the Shadow of the person when you know them really well (we consider Pluto position as well). The presence of bright and intellectual signs of Gemini and Sagittarius may have impact on her own self image as very gorgeous person. Narcissm, loftiness or at least some sort of vanity were the main negative traits.
The Columns:
Left Column - Moon - Venus - Neptune - the soft, feminine, inner side, when a person is relaxed and in private. No doubt, Queen Mother was a very strong female. She had all it takes to provide her family with the necessary protection and privacy, delivering vast emotional range.
Middle Column - Sun - Jupiter - Saturn - the person's public image, often a career. A powerful signs, the self-rule here is evident, position of self-command and the rule over others.
Right Column - Mercury - Mars - Uranus - the harder, masculine side, showing the outside dealings with the world, communicating, doing, behaviour, what others in close circle experience while with the person. Very strong masculine side, not afraid to take risk, to show off, to be courageous, and lead as an example.
