We recently did a short piece on astrologer Jonathan Cainer’s apocalyptic forecast for the Royal Family in 2008.

Now here’s another starry prediction for the relationship of Prince William and Kate Middleton. It’s by British astrologer Dharmaruci :

“Certainly with Prince William the transits to his natal chart suggest, actually insist, it is soon to be make or break time with Kate Middleton.”

Oh dear, how often have we who follow these things heard that? But let’s wait and see.

I was also going to do an assessment of my own intuitive forecasts for Royal events for 2007, but they are so dismal, I’ll leave you to look them up here for yourselves.

What do we make of this?

Jonathan Cainer, the man who writes the horoscopes in the paper edition of the Daily Mail (the online version uses someone else), is often described as “spookily accurate”.

He regularly writes forecasts of world events which, amazingly, turn out right. For example, after 9/11, Madrid and 7/7 he made the risky forecast that there would be no more terrorist attacks on the West. Three years later, there have been no successful attacks.

His general forecast for 2008 is very upbeat, despite all the economic gloom around. However, today he paints a different picture for the Royal Family :

Earlier in January, I said this year would be exceptionally important for the Royal Family. I didn’t say much more because there is an ethical constraint attached to this topic. An astrologer must never predict the date of someone’s death. Generally, Princes and Princesses ascend to the throne only when their predecessors pass away. I can’t, therefore, say when Charles will become King without revealing when Elizabeth will die. Actually, I am not sure that a succession is the big story in 2008. It may be some other issue or event. But whatever it is, it will be big.

Do you believe in astrologers? If so, what might this huge event turn out to be?
