Queen Elizabeth’ chart is unique and needs to be studied deeply by all astrology researchers. She was the queen of the United Kingdom and the head of the common wealth. The horoscope was shared by my Guru Sh. K.N. Rao. Last hundred years saw the fall of most dynasties in the world but she remained strong with high popularity rating.
