Queen’s tombs

My wife and I really like the Netflix TV show The Crown, which follows the life and family of Queen Elizabeth.

The show is exceptionally well-made, and I like how they integrate historical events into the storyline, which is also very educational.

Movies and TV shows are always dramatized, but I feel Queen Elizabeth’s portrait is credible and realistic.

Through the show, we learn how she struggled, as a young woman, to take over the empire during the most difficult times, placing a heavy burden on her shoulders. After a period of adjustment, she gained control and established herself as the ultimate authority.

Her job was challenging and still is. She had to balance between personal life, marriage, kids, country, and the entire empire. To do that job, she made many people unhappy, especially her family, particularly her kids.

Throughout the series, we learn that her children were struggling greatly with the burden of royalty. They wanted to live everyday lives, but their roles didn’t afford them that luxury.

The Queen was aware of their suffering, but there was very little she could do, and to be honest, she wasn’t the most devoted mother either.

So we decided to look into her BaZi Chart to find clues that could explain this dynamic.

Queen Elizabeth was born under the Yang Metal Master Element, suggesting she enjoys strict routines and expects everyone to follow the rules with little leeway.

Another interesting setup is the two Dragons, next to each other. Dragon branch acts as the tomb of Water, and in this case, we have two of them. Double Dragon tends to “swallow” elements in the Chart, starting with Water and all Elements attached to the Water.

Water represents her Output Component, which means her kids. Technically, that means that those two Dragons are locking her kids into the tomb. In reality, it means her kids do not have much freedom when she is around. They have to obey her orders and follow the royal protocols. They basically have no individual freedom, and everything they do in life must serve Queen Elizabeth and the empire.

We saw that clearly in the cases of Charles and Diana. Charles wasn’t happy with that marriage, and he really suffered, but he couldn’t go against the Queen’s will.

Since 1991, Queen Elizabeth has been in the Rooster period, which can “seal” the Dragon tombs, making the situation even worse. During that decade, the issue between Charles and Diana escalated dramatically; she had multiple lovers, and it all ended with divorce and, later, the tragic death of Princess Diana. The locked Dragon left Queen’s children feeling locked in, including Lady Di, who felt like she was in prison most of the time.

That being said, we are not at all dealing with an evil person; on the contrary. The Queen is definitely suited to her job, and she was on the job 24/7. But it would have been tremendously helpful if the Queen, the Prince of Edinburgh, and her advisors had insight into her personality dynamics to ease any conflict that the lack of knowledge, for sure, generated.

Looking at the superpowers throughout history, none of them went without counsel from a source that could see beyond the sensation level. I suspect things start to go wrong when heads of state cannot let go of their egos and believe they can do it all by themselves, resulting in unhappy, neglected children.
