So I guess some could guess that pondering on the birth chart-to-be would be somewhat of an obsession for me. I think I figured out a way to have some idea of when our baby will be born though.

Something came to mind yesterday. Family synastry seems to be pretty telling. I know for example that I have Mercury at 11 Capricorn, my Dad at 11 Libra, my sister at 12 Cancer, and my mother-in-law at 11 Aries. My Mother has Saturn and Neptune at 23 Libra, I have Mars at 23 Libra, and my sister has Mars at 23 Capricorn. My father has Jupiter at 20 Sagittarius, my MC is at 20 Sagittarius, My mom’s Sun is at 21 Sagittarius, My sister’s Uranus is at 20 Sagittarius in a t-square with Sun at 21 Gemini and Jupiter at 21 Pisces, my Vertex is at 21 Virgo, My dad’s Sun is at 18 Virgo and his Vesta at 22 Virgo:

Give or take a degree, there is general gathering of planets or points on certain degrees of the zodiac, divided into the 4th harmonic, in nearly ALL of my immidiate family’s charts. The most sensitive point being roughly 20-21 of all Mutable signs, mainly Sagittarius, and then 23 Cardinal, and 11 Cardinal.

So this must mean that when a baby is born, especially if they have a close family, they will be given planets or points on degrees that are shared in the synastry of the family members. Trista, her mom, and Addi have all lived together and can be considered immediate, closely bonded family members. I have also become very close. So I checked out the synastry between all 4 of us and found the sensitive points:

So Trista is about 2 months pregnant which puts the estimated due date sometime in Feburary. I looked through the ephemeris from January 2008 to the end of March 2008, and highlighted every date and degree with a planet on 5-7 Cardinal, 10-12 Cardinal, 26-28 Fixed, 15-17 Mutable, and 24-26 Mutable:

- Jan 20-22 came up with 5 planets on those points (Jupiter at 06 Cardinal, Nodes at 27 fixed, Uranus at 16 Mutable, and Venus and Mars at 25 Mutable),

- Feb 2-4 came up with 5 planets too (Venus and Jupiter at 11 Cardinal, Nodes at 27 Fixed, Uranus at 16 Mutable, and Mars at 25 Mutable),

- and Feb 16th came up with 6 planets (Jupiter at 11 Cardinal, Sun, Nodes, and Vesta at 27 Fixed, Uranus at 16 Mutable, and Mars at 25 Mutable). These are the three most prominent times for the baby to have an astrological link to its immediate family.

As for the missing links, like 11 Cardinal between Jan 20-22, the Moon or one of the angles would most likely fall there, and the Moon will be transiting through Cancer then. The missing link for Feb 2-4 is 06 Cardinal, and the Moon will transit through Capricorn then. And the missing link for Feb 16th is also 06 Cardinal, and there again, the Moon will be transiting through Cancer.

So as for now, I am prediciting that the baby will be born, either between Jan 20-22, Feb 2-4 or Feb 16. I might be able to refine this predicition but I’m pretty sure these time frames are highly likely.

Jan 20-22 offers a Venus-Pluto conjunction in opposition to Mars rx, with Pluto still on the last degree of Sagittarius, as well as a very tight Jupiter-Saturn trine, a Mercury-Neptune conjunction, a Sun-Mars-Saturn 5th harmonic quintile configuration, and an Aquarius stellium.

Feb 2-4 offers a Venus-Jupiter conjunction and a Mercury rx-Neptune conjunction, as well as a an Aquarius stellium, Mars direct, and Pluto’s ingress into Capricorn.

Feb 16th offers a Sun-Node conjunction in close trine to Mars, a 5th harmonic Venus-Mars-Saturn configuration, and an Aquarius stellium.

Either way the baby will have lots of Aquarius, and Capricorn second. Trista’s an Aquarius, Addison’s a Capricorn, the baby should be an Aquarius, and I’m a Capricorn. And it will be born on Trista’s Ceres return, and Jupiter, ruler of my MC, conjunct my 10th house Capricorn Sun. The baby should also have a bucket chart with Saturn as the handle, in Virgo.
