Age Secrets of Prince Andrew

At the age of 50, Prince Andrew, the Duke of York – whose ex-wife Sarah is currently facing investigation for her ‘cash for introduction to royalty’ scheme -- is in a year of ego communication expressed as Leo-Gemini, consolidating (and so is she, which could be very interesting!).

Like a 2-year old child, his ego does the communicating this year and it is likely to be 'me me me' all the way. If thwarted, he may not throw a tantrum at the supermarket, prostrate himself, foam at the mouth and pull all the dog food cans off the shelves, but his social skills this year are definitely going to be similar to that of a 2-year old child.

At 50, he is a proud communicator, expecting everyone to bow and kowtow to what he considers to be his superior eloquence and knowledge. The sad thing about this year for Andrew is that he will be seen as a pompous ass in much the same way as the 2-year-old is seen as a spoilt brat.

On one hand he has a desire to communicate and tell people how wonderful he is and how much he knows and who he knows -- and it may very well be worthwhile for them to hear it -- but few people are going to listen to what he has to say when it is designed to puff himself up at their expense.

Also, because his ego is heavily involved in what he says, he is likely to be incredibly sensitive to criticism. He wants to be right at all costs. He wants to talk longer and louder and smarter than anyone else. A gentle criticism or a misunderstood exchange could lead to major confrontations, or a total communication breakdown.

The lesson for the 50 year old this year is to control your communications. Keep quiet. Say nothing, write nothing. The more said the less control over what is said and the more likely something foolish comes out. Andrew is more likely to be ridiculed than applauded this year.

The most frightening scenario for those in the ego communication year, with an ego heavily invested in what he or he says, is becoming a sitting duck for mischievous others to manipulate into a caricature of a pompous ass for their amusement (as the fake sheik Mazhis Mahmood seems to be doing to them both).

A 2-year old deserves understanding for ego driven behavior because his speech and self-control has not yet developed. At 50 there is no such understanding. Even people who would not generally enjoy torturing others tend to get stuck into ego communicators, so if Andrew has a great deal to say this year he should put it into writing and hold off publication for two years and then return to it and assess how much is worthwhile knowledge and how much is simply an ego trip.
