the alignment of the planets is most unusual this year. mars is due to take the ascendant three days after the anniversary of your birth - your majesty was born on september 7th - and i see that twelve days before the anniversary of your birth - he transfers his attention to a different, astronomical chart.
- there will be a full moon - the moon which -
- governs the fortunes of all princes of the female gender.
i mean to say, a prince who is also a woman.
that i can't say. astrology is, as yet, more an art than a science.
elizabeth is mortal. the queen will never die.
and yet mysteries have power. have you not learned that?
these are matters of state, majesty.
for such a prediction, i must look in a different chart.
wonderful.  out of such suffering, to have forged such strength.  you will need all your strength in days to come.  and love.  so much love.
but you doubt yourself, my child.  i've not seen fear in
something has weakened you.
but i'm no prophet. i see no more than the shadows of ghosts.
you want me to tell your majesty only what your majesty chooses to hear?
the forces that shape the world are greater than all of us, majesty. how can i promise you that they'll conspire in your favour, even though you are the queen? but this much i know. when the storm breaks, each man acts in accordance with his own nature. some are dumb with terror. some flee. some hide. and some spread their wings like eagles and soar on the wind.
and you, madam, are a very great lady.
