Let us look at three of our current
Queens or Crown Princesses - not born to the manner royal but who instead owe their royal status to having bagged themselves a Crown Prince… First, is Queen Rania, born in the
Metal Dog year of 1970 on Malaysia’s Independence Day 31 August, she is the commoner Palestinian who married King Abdullah II of Jordan. She became Queen in March 1999, soon after he ascended the throne; so she has been Queen for nearly 12 years. She is a graduate of the American University in Cairo, was a banker before marriage and has three children.
the first wife of the previous King Hussein, but soon after their marriage and the present king’s birth, poor Princess Muna was shunted aside and although she stayed a Princess and was well provided for, she never became Queen. Indeed, the previous Queen Noor, an American, was King Hussein’s favourite wife, and their son even almost got the throne instead of Rania’s husband. It is to be expected that the astute and beautiful Rania closely guards her position as Queen consort, making sure from year to year that she stays relevant and is not unceremoniously pushed aside for
of a Phoenix and the mountains and rivers on her face are well marked and clearly exude an aura of the Goddess. Her face shape is royal and her ears are beautifully shaped. Her nose is high and sharp and her lips are wide and noble, being neither too thin nor wide. Her forehead is long and straight, suggesting someone fiercely intelligent and highly analytical. Hers is a face possessed of very high principles. She has a tough backbone and is intensely loyal. But her greatest tests come when she turns fifty - that is when she comes to a crossroads and will be faced with a dilemma. Until then, Queen Rania
RANIA TAKES A THOROUGHLY MODERN VIEW OF HER ROLE AS QUEEN.
Active and vocal on social issues close to her heart, she has literally become a career Queen and this is probably the secret of her long staying power in a highly volatile country.
Rania takes a thoroughly modern
view of her role as Queen. She has her own You Tube channel, her own blogsite and her own Twitter account, enabling her to talk directly with her people. Active and vocal on social (and even political) issues close to her heart, she has literally become a career Queen and this is probably the secret of her long staying power in what is a highly volatile country. Rumours emerging from Jordan speak of the King’s fondness for a “royal” lifestyle, which implies having lots of a lovely ladies flaunt and fawn over him. Occasionally, a woman or two gets dangerously close, but Queen Rania is not the run of the mill beauty. In the glamour stakes, she can hold her own against the world’s loveliest ladies, but she is also clever, smart and very strategic in her thinking. She knows how to protect her position and that of her children. She knows too well the dangers of being the first love and hence the first wife of any monarch in a Muslim country. Her own husband’s mother, the Princess Muna al Hussein, was

someone younger… We have it on very reliable account
that she even believes in feng shui to keep her position unchallenged - and of course, her position will constantly be challenged. In a country in which the monarch
taking on a second, third or even fourth wife is not only tolerated but perhaps even encouraged, anything is possible. As long as King Abdullah, who is is not exactly immune to the odd flirtation, keeps it at that, and is sensitive to the Queen’s position and feelings, all should stay well. We have read Queen Rania’s
chart and as expected, it indicates an incredibly brilliant life. She has wealth and power, a high position in life and will always be wealthy. Her children will be her greatest source of joy. But unfortunately, she has the external star of romance in her chart and this means she will have to tolerate infidelity in her marriage. Te chart indicates severe clashes with her husband in her later years. But look at her face - hers is indeed the face of a Queen. She has the eyes
will continue to champion some very important causes and will continue to make a real difference to the politics of the Middle East. Helping her will be the powerful Star of the Nobleman which creates an invisible protective shield around her. She will stay safe, but whether or not she will be happy depends on many other factors. Next is Crown Princess Mary
whose story reads like a fairy tale. Born a Water Rat in 1972, she could not have had a more ordinary twentieth century kind of childhood. She is Australian, grew up in Tasmania, a lover of the great outdoors, and the youngest of four children. Her mother died when she was 25 and her father, a Mathematics Professor, remarried several years later to well known English writer Susan Moody. It is during her coming of age period that she meets the man who will change her fate and transform her into a princess. Mary met her husband, the very handsome and dashing Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark in a Sydney pub during the Sydney Olympics at the turn of the millennium in the year 2000.
