Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Prince William welcomed their first baby boy today at 4:24 pm, the entire internet reports.
Born just about as 'on the cusp' as you can get, in the very last moment before the Sun moved into Leo, this new royal has 4 planets, including his Sun, in the sign of Cancer, appropriate considering just how much his family will play a part in shaping his life! He was also born as the moon was auspiciously approaching full, in the dignified and responsible sign of Capricorn. Incidentally, mom Kate is a Capricorn Sun and dad is a Cancer Sun. Sounds pretty perfect!
Here's a peek at his Kiddiegram. If your kiddie shares a birthday with this new royal, let Mademoiselle Kiddie know and you may just get a free goodie!
The KiddieGram Report for
The SUN in the birthchart represents who this child is at heart, his primary thrust in life, and what path he needs to follow in order to fulfill himself as a unique individual. It indicates who he is inside rather than the way he appears (which is shown more clearly by the Rising Sign).
Sun in Cancer:
At heart, Royal Baby Boy is a very emotional and sympathetic person who is highly sensitive to the feeling tone and subtle atmosphere surrounding him. He cries easily and often seems swept up by the ebb and flow of constantly fluctuating emotions. He instinctively seeks a safe harbor to retreat to, a private place that feels safe and protected, which is most often his mother or his home.
He is very attached to his family and to the beloved, familiar things of home, and he may be loathe to venture away from them for very long, especially when he is quite young. A natural shyness or reticence to open himself to strangers will be in evidence quite early, and he should not be pushed into sociability or a false show of "bravery." Allow him to set his own pace in meeting the world. Though his attachment to you may be thought of as "clingy" or "overly dependent," it is best to reassure him and to very gently encourage him to overcome his fears. Eventually, given plenty of support and the knowledge that you will indeed always be there to go back to, he will leave the nest quite happily.
Royal Baby Boy has a very nurturing, loving, protective side and he naturally responds to others' needs for comfort and care. Having pets or even a garden to tend will make him quite contented. He is also likely to be an enthusiastic chef and should be allowed to help with the cooking as much as possible. Food will always play an important role in his life, as a means to give and receive emotional sustenance as well as physical nourishment. You should take care not to substitute food for emotional comfort (i.e. "He hurt your feelings? Let's have some milk and cookies and forget all about it. . ."). This could easily become a habit of his that would be difficult to break later in life.
In fact, the habits that he creates in childhood are likely to stay with him throughout his life, and the attitudes and behaviors he absorbs now will always influence him strongly. He has an excellent memory, also.
Sun in 8th house:
Even as a young child, Royal Baby Boy will be intrigued by things which are mysterious, hidden, or "taboo," and he may make embarrassing or awkward inquiries about people's sex lives, finances, and other private matters--including beliefs about death and the possibility of an afterlife. If he's raised in a home where such probing curiosity is unwelcome, he'll probably become secretive; even in a fairly open and communicative atmosphere, he may keep a lot to himself. He's a deeper person than many of his contemporaries.
Sun Opposition Moon:
As you read the above interpretation of Royal Baby Boy's sun sign, and compare it to the description of his moon sign on the following page, you may note distinct differences and possibly contradictions. This is because there are different sides to him, and they may well conflict or pull him in opposite directions.
You will notice as he grows up that he befriends people who are very different or polar opposite to him in some basic ways. It is as if he needs other people to reflect the other side of him. (For instance, if he is very neat and precise, he will be drawn to people who are disorganized.) Born around the time of the full moon, he is likely to be particularly active or strongly emotional each month when the moon is full.

Born around the time of the full moon, he is likely to be particularly active or strongly emotional each month when the moon is full.
The MOON in the birthchart indicates how he deals with and expresses feelings, how he experiences the world on an emotional, feeling, non-verbal level, what his emotional needs are, and what he needs to feel secure, comfortable and at ease.
Moon in Capricorn:
Royal Baby Boy is an industrious, rather serious, practical little person, not the light, frivolous, happy-go-lucky type. To feel secure, he needs structure and a clearly defined set of rules and boundaries. He finds comfort in rituals and traditions (both the small, personal kind like having the same breakfast every Sunday morning, to important family traditions like celebrating holidays in the same way each year.) He is not an especially trusting soul, and one needs to prove that they are steady and reliable before he will feel really comfortable with them. Little things like coming to pick him up exactly when you said you would mean a lot to him. He likes to know what to expect.
He appreciates order and is often uneasy with the sort of wild, chaotic, free-flowing, rambunctious play that some children relish.
Conscientious and mature even in youth, Royal Baby Boy can be relied upon to keep his commitments. Sometimes his "obligations" weigh heavily upon him, however, and life seems like serious business indeed, so try not to expect too much or burden him with more responsibility than is really necessary.
Unsentimental and rather uncomfortable with feelings and emotional needs (his own or others'), Royal Baby Boy may not let you know how much he depends on you and how much he needs your warmth, protection, and love. He may seem rather aloof at times. He is reserved about letting people get close to him, afraid that somehow he will not be acceptable or will not measure up. He often judges himself harshly and seems to need to prove his worth by achieving some task or goal he sets for himself. It is very important for him to know that you love and value him for himself, and not only for his accomplishments.
Moon in 2nd house:
Favorite possessions and familiar things--quilts, toys, and so on--enhance Royal Baby Boy's sense of security. Long after he's stopped using them, he'll want to keep them because of all the emotional energy he's invested in them. He can become a pack-rat, and his living space may become cluttered with cherished items he's loathe to discard. For the most part this harmless quirk should be indulged. However, he should perhaps be discouraged from displacing emotional needs onto material items (like an unhappy person who buys a new hat to cheer himself up). A trip to the toy store should not become his response to all of life's woes!
