Meghan Markle’s star sign is a Leo and her birth chart appears to have predicted her future before she decided it for herself.

The royal was born with the sun in Leo and a charming Libra moon on August 4, 1981. It seems the stars were aligned during Meghan Markle‘s birth as the chart depicts luck, poise, popularity and even a hint of royalty – years before meeting Prince Harry.

There are some aspects of ‘endings’ and ‘karma’ for the royal, so let’s look at what astrology had in store for the As Ever founder.

Key signs from Meghan Markle’s birth chart

Meghan was born in the Leo Sun – which is believed to represent personality – and it translates to her ‘shine’, being popular, and a natural magnet for attention. According to astrology, she was always destined to be in the limelight, and this was the case before she met Prince Harry.

The former actress was in legal TV drama, Suits, as well as smaller roles across drama, soap operas and television, therefore, she was used to the spotlight.

Whereas her moon is in Libra, which influences your emotions and behaviour. In Meghan Markle’s case, her moon sign depicts her as a perfectionist, do-it-all energy who thrives on communication. This could be why she enjoys social settings and talks highly of her friends as well as her close or ‘ride or die’ relationships.

Her cardinal signs, Saturn, Jupiter and the Moon also feature in the chart but it’s Jupiter that raises eyebrows, as it represents abundance and opportunity.

Restrictions, success and a hint of royalty

Some could say her recent success of her lifestyle brand was helped with Jupiter, and the influence she has after joining the royal family. A Jupiterian – who is described as warm, open and sociable – appreciates social order and lands a natural leadership role. Perhaps this was a driving force behind her setting up her own business, or critics claiming she is ‘controlling’ husband Harry?

Although, Saturn, which is the planet of restriction and limitation, may have had some input with her relationship with The Firm as well. As a dominant planet in her birth chart, it can also imply a serious side to Meghan Markle and pushing all her concentration into the problem she faces at the time.

Meghan herself mentioned the restrictions she claimed to have after joining the monarchy, speaking about the events during her interview with Oprah Winfrey.

It also comes a warning, though: “It is true that the Saturnian, who is fond of time, effort, asceticism, rigour and sobriety, may have popularity issues.”

Thankfully, this can be balanced with the ‘honesty’ and ‘straightforwardness’ that comes with this planetary sign.

When we look at the Moon, the planet represents an emotive and imaginative nature which can be quite spontaneous and sensitive.

Dominants within a birth chart can point to character, personality, strengths and weaknesses. Whereas astrological houses, where planets lie, can be signs of mental, emotional and physical attributes of a person.

Libra, Leo and Cancer feature in Meghan Markle’s birth chart

Birth charts can also see dominant astrological signs as well, and in Meghan Markle’s case, it’s Libra, Leo and Cancer.

Libras are known to be charming, sociable, diplomatic and balanced – they value harmony and fairness, according to astrology. They strive for fairness and justice, and they love the law.

It’s no surprise Meghan fought in court over the letter she wrote her father being published by the Daily Mail newspaper then.

Leo features in Meghan Markle’s birth chart, which is also her star sign, and they are typically confident and creative leaders who thrive in the spotlight. We’re sure the Duchess of Sussex didn’t hesitate to sign up to her $100m Netflix deal with Prince Harry, if we take Leo as a sign.

They’re loyal, giving and want to see things happen – Leo’s don’t tend to sit around and wait for it to become reality!

Then we have Cancer, who are said to be intuitive, nurturing and emotional. They can be sensitive but also protective, which comes as no surprise as she and Harry refuse to share many photos of their children’s faces out of fear of privacy.

Karma and closure

Next, we have astrological houses, which represent areas of experience and life itself. They act as a framework for gaining insight into how the planets manifest a birth chart, and in Meghan Markle’s case she has three dominant houses, 3rd, 1st and 12th, in that order. They change depending on if the planets were in specific signs and houses when an individual was born.

For Meghan, the most dominant is the mind (3rd), where interests, thinking and communication are key. It also features social aspects as well as siblings – but we know that Meg doesn’t have a strong relationship with her sister Samantha or brother Thomas Jr. They were upset she told the world she felt like an ‘only child’ growing up. Their estranged relationship continues after she left The Firm, as her siblings speak out about their frayed bonds.

Then the 1st house, which represents the self, revolves around first impressions, identity, appearances and approach to life. The 12th house, instead, symbolises endings, closure, karma and limiting beliefs, among spirituality and solitude. Meghan and Harry stepping down from royal life was definitely an ending nobody saw coming…

Meghan Markle’s star sign shows she’s ambitious

As her star sign is Leo, Meghan Markle may hold the traits of enjoying being the centre of attention, ambitious, loyal, protective, a love of drama and luxury.

Considering she and Harry have lived in their Montecito mansion for the past five years, a life of luxury in the California sun suits the duchess well!

Although confident, Leos are also known to be generous, and the 43-year-old hunting down Billie Eilish to offer help to a teen who lost her possessions in the LA wildfires also appears to match up to Meghan Markle’s star sign.

Prince Harry, on the other hand, is a Virgo, and within astrology, the duo actually have a good compatibility rating. Virgo’s are seen as more analytic, caring about the small things and holding great attention to detail. Paired with Leo’s leadership skills and social ability, they work well together. Leo’s are big thinkers who strive for success, and with a Virgo’s grounding to make something a reality, they work hand in hand.

However, there are some potential warnings, especially when it comes to Virgo’s being more reserved in comparison to a Leo who loves attention.

Whether the stars have helped Harry and Meghan’s relationship remains unknown, but as Drew Barrymore said – they’re ‘hot for each other’ and their marriage continues to grow from strength to strength.
