Sibling rivalry is definitely not limited to the British royal family, which is why reading about the ongoing feud between Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex is so understandable. And while countless commentators have extensively discussed aspects of their relationship — and the fallout that resulted from it — there’s so much more to the story. If you want to get to the heart of the matter, look no further than the astrology of Harry and Williams’ relationship, as their synastry definitely sheds some light on the tension between them. Astrology can paint a more detailed picture of this royal rivalry and highlight the reasons why their dynamic has turned sour so severely over the years. It might even answer the most important question of all – will they ever be able to forgive each other? Pour yourself a cup of this tea because it’s served piping hot!

Prince William was born on June 21, 1982 at 9:03 p.m. in London, England, making him a Cancer through and through. However, since Prince William was also born under a new moon in Cancer, we can tell that he has an extreme emotional side, but he doesn’t always listen to his intuition. There are many reasons for this: one of them is that a new moon is also known as a “dark moon,” a phase of the lunar cycle that tends to inhibit the moon’s emotional and intuitive vibrations. This makes it harder for the psychic energies of the Moon to seep into your consciousness and means a deeper focus on how other people are feeling than on how *you* are feeling. But since he was also born with his ascendant in Sagittarius, William is also a very direct person who doesn’t hit punches or beat around the bush.

Prince William’s reluctance to trust his intuition is one of the reasons their relationship fell apart so suddenly. However, it all comes down to one important fact – Prince William’s moon in Cancer falls right into Prince Harry’s 7th house of loyal allies and open enemies. On a good day, they could be the best of friends and the most productive business associates. But on a bad day, they could be total opponents.

Being born under a new moon, Prince William likely didn’t see this drama unfold until it escalated to a point of no return. Her fallout completely threw him off! New Moon people tend to get caught up in their own lives and can’t look outward, especially since William’s Sun-Moon combination Cancer sits directly over his North Destiny Node. It is evident that William was born to wear this crown and prepared for regal greatness.

However, since William’s fate also falls into Prince Harry’s seventh house of enemies, they were born rivals. These Cancer planets are also at odds with William’s conflict Pluto in Libra, meaning their relationship troubles took quite a long time to come to a head, but when they finally did, their conflict was impossible to ignore. I mean the whole world knows they don’t get along! Which brings me to my next point – people in Harry and William’s lives can also have a tendency to meddle in their problems and manipulate their dynamics. At the end of the day, brothers are in competition with each other, and those around them are likely to use that to their advantage.

Now let’s take a look at Prince Harry’s birth chart. The Duke of Sussex was born on September 15, 1984 at 4:20 p.m. in Paddington, England. Harry is the more practical sibling thanks to his Sun Virgo, Moon Taurus and Capricorn ascendant. With his big three – Sun, Moon and Rising – all in earth signs, he is someone who tends to be down to earth and rational. With his Taurus Moon falling in his 4th house of roots and origins, he is someone who can’t help but put family first. Although the shyest of both siblings, he prefers to deal with his feelings in private and enjoys keeping his own life off the public radar. His Virgo Sun is also in his 9th house of wisdom and adventure, which is an auspicious placement, indicating that he is someone who is always open, especially when searching for the truth. He is a student of the world and tries to understand others who are different from him.

Interestingly, Prince Harry’s northern destiny knot in Gemini also falls in the 7th house of his brother’s allies and enemies. Harry’s Sun and Mercury in Virgo also align with William’s relationship sector. So what does all this mean? Communicating with William is probably difficult for Harry. He might even feel like his brother doesn’t take him seriously or give him the respect he deserves. Since Virgo is ruled by Mercury – the planet of communication – it is extremely important for this earth sign to feel heard, seen and understood. And while they have a lot of energy for others who don’t give them much attention in return, sometimes their patience flags (especially when they feel like they’re being taken for granted or ignored by those they love).

Harry’s North Destiny Knot in Willian’s 7th house shows they are natural opponents and it’s a shared feeling on both sides. No matter how hard they try, drama and arguments will likely always find their way into the relationship. It is all part of the process, however, as these brothers are destined to challenge one another and facilitate mutual growth in this life.

So the question isn’t *why* they fight, it’s if they can ever kiss and make up. After the drama of Harry’s departure from royal family duties as well as his lengthy interview with Oprah, will William ever be able to forgive him? And after the royal family’s lackluster response to Meghan Markle’s abuse in the tabloids, will Harry ever be able to trust his older brother again? Yes and no.

They’re both going to need a lot of work on themselves before they can come to terms with what they both did wrong. And when they commit to being honest with each other about their feelings and moving forward with their relationship, they have the power to connect even more deeply in the long run. Since the feud between Harry and William can easily be blamed on the North Node of Destiny, which symbolizes your destiny and karma in this life, finding your way back to each other will be a lifelong journey. There will be a few snide comments here and there and it will definitely take time to rebuild the family bond. However, if they both commit to repairing this relationship, it could be so healing for both of them.
