Kate Middleton’s mothering style:

What sort of a mother will the Duchess make? Read on as we explore Kate’s mothering style using her birth chart.

Before we look at Kate’s mothering style, we need to briefly explore who she is as a person first. Because we don’t have an exact birth time for Kate (it is believed she was born some time after lunch), we can only use the information we have.

Kate has a chart that is very strong in air, making communication very important to her. She will also enjoy being mentally stimulated and have a questioning nature. Kate has strong cardinal and fixed energy in her chart, but very little mutable. Strong cardinal energy indicates that she is a real self-starter. Because of the amount of fixed energy in her chart, Kate will have the ability to follow through on whatever she starts. Low mutable energy suggests that she may not be overly flexible.

Kate was born with a group of planets in the sign of Libra. She also has a final chart signature of Libra, making this energy very strong in her chart. Her relationships, therefore, will be extremely important to her and she may not do so well on her own. She will love the sense of connection that having a child brings.

Depending on the time that Kate was born, the Moon Phase she was born under is almost certainly Gibbous. If she was born under a Gibbous Moon, Kate will be very social minded and like causes. She will teach her own children to be social minded, something that will bode well in her position. Goals and personal growth will also be important to her. Nothing teaches personal growth like motherhood!

Mothering Style – Capricorn Sun

With the Sun in Capricorn, Kate will be a very responsible, hard-working mother. She will be quite serious at times, but will also have a wonderful dry wit, which her children will appreciate. Achievement will be important to her & there may be conflict at times between being a mother and carrying out her royal duties. Kate will be a very practical mum. Providing security for her children will be very important to her. She will have no problem laying down the rules. Tradition will also be important to her and she will ensure that the time- honoured traditions of the royal family are a part of family life (within reason).

Nurturing Style – The Moon

The Moon is the planet in our chart that best describes our mothering style, as it describes how we nurture. Kate has the Moon in the sign of Cancer. The Moon in Cancer brings emotional security and strength. Being close to family, especially her mother will be important to Kate. She will be supportive and caring with this Moon. Kate will have a strong instinctive nature, which brings the ability to be sensitive to her children’s feelings and needs, without them saying anything. Kate will be easily hurt by criticism, so being a new mum so publicly may be difficult for her at times. Having a baby to nurture will be incredibly fulfilling for Kate.

Mothering – Asteroid Ceres

The asteroid Ceres shows how we give & receive nurturing, what we need to feel love & accepted and the relationships we have with our parents & children.

Kate has Ceres in the sign of Scorpio. This indicates that Kate will associate nurturing with deep emotional bonding. She will commit herself emotionally to others and be a loyal mother, partner and friend. When feelings of isolation come up, Kate needs to tap into her capacity for love in order to nurture herself.
