Wallis Simpson: American Divorcee and Woman for Whom Edward VIII Abdicated the Throne
Sun: Gemini

Wallis Simpson shares her birthday with James I, the first King of Great Britain. She herself would forever change the course of history for this country and its monarchy by causing the abdication of Edward VIII for the woman he loved. Her natal Uranus, the planet of change and upheaval, is exactly conjunct the Jupiter of the chart of Great Britain. Furthermore, her Saturn is in close opposition to Britain’s Uranus, again stressing the bucking of authority for individual freedom.
