On April 29, 2011, England will be getting a new princess as Prince William and fiancée Kate Middleton have set their wedding date. As previous royal weddings -- like those of Prince Charles and Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York and Prince Andrew-- have ended poorly, what will this mean for the newly engaged couple? After all, in astrology, wedding dates set the tone for the committed relationship, no matter when they met or chose to start dating.

With William being a watery Cancer and Kate an earthy Capricorn, getting married under the sensual and steadfast Taurus Sun is a great thing. Besides Taurus' reputation as one of the most well-adjusted signs of the zodiac, it is also ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, and in Taurus, it happens to rule love. Plus, with the Moon in Virgo, adding another earthy element to the mix, it adds a practical element to their marriage too. The day of course is topped with the fact Mars, the planet of passion is in Cancer, which is good for adding strength to William's identity sector and Kate's commitment sector. Overall, they couldn't have picked a more promising day!
