Yesterday in the UK the society wedding of the year took place, between one of the most eligible bachelors, a billionaire of a historic English noble family, and his commoner (not royal) fiancé.
There are many articles about the couple and the wedding, here is the link to just one for those who haven't followed the event and would like to see some background.

So, astrologically, the wedding and the vows set the theme for a marriage and a couple's life together.
The wedding was scheduled for noon in the church of Chester, UK.
The chart I've posted is for 12:30, approximately the moment the vows were actually taken.
At 1pm they were out of the church, so a mid-way time should not be too far off.
The birth chart of the bride is not available, the Duke was born Jan. 29,1991 in Westminster, but no TOB is available.
So we can't do a synastry chart, but his transits on the day are what we might expect for someone being married, one of the most important events of a person's life:
Jupiter transiting is exactly conjunct natal mars.
Pluto transiting exactly conjunct natal NN/saturn.
Neptune transiting exactly trine NN.
Mercury transiting sextile natal Jupiter and trine natal sun. Happy positive thoughts!
Marriage is love.
His venus is at 0 Pisces, making no current aspects except for a semi-sextile with transiting Pluto.
His progressed chart has Venus at 11 Aires almost exactly square progressed Uranus.
This progressed venus is almost exactly conjunct the wedding NN, shades of Karma working out.
The chart has virgo rising, ruled by mercury.
A mutable sign on the ascendent is generally not a good idea for what should be a permanent situation.
Juno the asteroid of marriage and commitment is near conjunct the ascendant, and squares mercury.
Mercury is in the 10th house, in fact this was a very high profile wedding.
The 7th house is Pisces, whose ruler is Jupiter in the 10th.
The ascendent and the 7th represent the two parties in the marriage, and their coming together in union.
They are conjunct at the MH in gemini. More mutable signs involved here!
However, the conjunction is separating.
Asteroid Karma is exactly at the midpoint of Mercury and Jupiter!
So we expect this is a marriage that absolutely was written in destiny!
Asteroid Priapus H22, symbolising a compulsive desire to merge physically and totally, is exactly conjunct NN.
Again, destiny playing out.
Depending on the exact moment of the vows, the NN/SN positions could change, but they should probably remain in the 2nd/8th houses, a very important placement given that he is the wealthiest under-40s man in the UK, even wealthier than King Charles!!
Back to the 7th house, saturn is sitting there! Why?
This couple is not old, and they have known each other for only 3 years.
His natal Sun is in Aquarius, ruled by Saturn, is this the link?
Saturn in the wedding chart rules the 5th (love, romance and importantly children... heirs) and the 6th (work, health, and the wealth of the children). Saturn is duty, as well as commitment and also coldness and separation.
Interesting placement.
Asteroid Agapenor, unconditional love, is exactly trine Saturn, which is a saving grace in this chart.
Love and marriage.
Sun and Venus are conjunct in the 10th house.
However this conjunction is also separating, and both Sun and Venus are approaching a square to the 7th house Saturn!
Again, the Sun/Venus conjunction involves gemini, a very mutable sign, and both ruled by the Mercury ascendent ruler.
So we know who will be wearing the pants in this family! He rules everything! But probably not with a very heavy hand, given that gemini tends to be a butterfly rather than a bull!
And, not least of importance, the Moon!
It too is in gemini, and makes only one aspect... a square to Neptune! Moon represents the female in the couple.
Neptune is co-ruler of the 7th, it is in the 7th, although possibly in the 8th, depending on a real adjusted timing of the chart.
Venus and Mars are also important planets to consider in a marriage.
Here we have Venus in flighty gemini, and Mars in aggressive Aires.
Mars is in the 8th, this could change depending on the exact timing, but it is near the end of the sign.
So mars will soon change energy, entering Venus's realm of Taurus.
However at that point Mars will square Pluto, in the 5th house of children.
Asteroid Child is in the 5th house conjunct Pluto, and inconjunct the Moon. Strife?
A Mars/Pluto square is one of the most difficult energies to handle, and this will certainly put stress on the relationship.
To conclude, there are a couple more interesting asteroid connections in the chart. The chart would be too cluttered if they are all entered, so here is a short list:
Asteroid Groom is at 19 Taurus.
Asteroid Olivias (the bride's name) is at 22 taurus, so we see Bride and Groom together.
Asteroid Amor is conjunct these two asteroids.
Asteroid Fidelio at 21 virgo is trine Olivias and Groom and Uranus.
Which bodes very well.
Asteroid Bried, is at 27 Leo in the 12 house, almost exactly trine mars in the 8th. And of course, the bride made an enormous jump in wealth with this marriage.
Lastly, Asteroid Union at 21 Leo in the 12th house squares Uranus at 24 Leo in the 9th house.
So, how would you evaluate this wedding?
It seems like a love match, a karmic relationship, but with quite challenging times ahead of them.
All that glitters is not gold?
One side comment, a lot was written about the shoes that both the flower girls and the bride wore.
Black or very dark blue, and chunky!
Wouldn't that be Saturn (sturdy and dark) in the house of the bride?

Here is the noon natal chart of the Duke of Westminster, TOB unknown.
