Baltasar Carlos

Balthasar Carlos (17 October 1629 – 9 October 1646), 

Prince of Asturias, Prince of Girona, Duke of Montblanc, Count of Cervera, and Lord of Balaguer, Prince of Viana was heir apparent to all the kingdoms, states and dominions of the Spanish monarchy until his death.
The only son of King Felipe IV of Spain and his first wife, Elisabeth of France, he died of smallpox, aged 16, at nine p.m. on 9 October 1646 at Zaragoza, Spain.

I. Natal chart

The natal chart is complex: conj I, SA-SU always problematic with SA combust, ASC LIBRA (ruler VE in exile, SCORPIO). MO fall - Only SA is found in good heavenly condition. ALMUTEN (Ibn Ezra, Omar) is SA. HYLEG is represented by SU and ALCHOCODEN is MO. The strongest planets are JU, VE and MA. We note a quadrature radix between JU and SA.

The primary directions are of two types: rapt-parallel and directions between key points.
- rapt-parallels : SU-MO - SA-MO
- primary points : JU opp MA
- ASC conj SA

II. Primary directions

A. rapt-parallel SA-MO (and SU-MO) - it must be said that the Regiomontanus and Campanus Rp are identical. It is not the case if we consider the Placidus Rp.

1)- compute the mundane mid-point SA-MO : 13.82°
2)- compute the L(Z) of mid-point : 209.14° LIBRA
3)- compute the direction mid-point-ASC

a)- parameters

b)- analysis

c)- result

D --> Z C Placidus AR orb 0.24.

This is the Rp SA|MO which is the equivalent of the direction C Mid-Pt (SA,MO) conj ASC.
We have the same result for Rp SU|MO ; This is not surprising since SA is combust (conj SA-SU). It is therefore the SU, SA | MO set that must be considered.

Here is a look tot the Rp SU|MO analysis.

Have a look to the weighting factor that marks D-Z at 44.24 (X-1 at 1.85) which testifies to the superior accuracy of the primary directions with respect to the non-primary directions.

B. VE conj MO

As VE is the ruler of ASC and MO is the so called ALCHOCODEN, it is interesting to compute the direction of VE to conj MO.

1)- parameters

2)- analysis

3)- result
 zodiacal

mundane

The result is Z C Placidus EQU orb -0.1. It is with proper motion of MO.

c. JU opp MA

JU and MA are detrimental (both fall). And we have a very quadrature of JU to SA and ME. Very quadrature, that to say a quadrat both in zodiacal AND mundane, because houses have about the same size that the zodiac signs.

1)- parameters

2)- analysis

3)- result
zodiacal

mundane

D --> M D Regio-Campa 1/AR orb 0.19.

Conclusion

This natal chart makes it possible to measure the importance of taking into account the radix conjunctions, in particular involving SU and SA; the rapt-parallels between HYLEG and ALCHOCODEN; more generally, falling points and those with maximum declination.
