PeaceAngel | which placements and aspects in a chart would denote someone being an only child? |
blue moon | Sibling activity is indicated by the 3rd house and their rulers. I've got a book about family relationships that goes into detail on this, if I get time I will dig it out and take a look. My husband is an only child, the ruler of his third is Pluto in the 12th. It Opposes Jupiter but doesn't do a whole lot else. But that's just one example of one chart. There is a lot of cr@p written about only children, based on out-dated Victorian stereotypes. It eases its way into children's literature which I find odious, selfish only child who can't share, blah, blah, blah, it doesn't bear out to experience. |
Dooza | One thing I notice about only-children, is the way they seem to notice what other children are doing and will make a comment, whereas, children with siblings will often not comment on the activities of those around them. ummm... doesn't really help astrologically, but let's see if others can link it to this type of behaviour
|
nattie33 | Dooza I never thought about it. But that is so true i see that with my daughter she always notices and comments about what other children are doing. Im an only child also but i dont remember if i did that whan i was young |
amowls | I'm an only child. I don't remember if I ever commented on what other kids were doing, but I'm deeply fascinated by other people. I love people watching. The ruler of my 3rd is the Sun and it is in the 9th in Aquarius. It squares pluto, but with a wide-ish orb. |
heart cakes | i'm an only child. i have three half siblings (only met two), but i haven't really gotten to know them (we were close in childhood though; i used to babysit them quite often). my third house is empty, and its ruler (neptune) is in my 12th, conjunct my asc, trine pluto, conjunct (widely) venus, sextile my sun and square saturn. don't know if that's typical or if it helps! |
PeaceAngel | hmm, thanks for the comments - really interesting. i am an only child and have empty 3rd house too. ruler of 3rd (mercury) is in 1st with sun and venus. really interesting comment about the observing people. i have always observed people and am completely fascinated with the behaviour of others. |
Teresa | I am an only child and I have Saturn in my third house, not far from my fourth house cusp. Saturn trines Uranus (7th) and squares Pluto (6th, near 7th house cusp). My third house cusp is in Gemini and I have Mercury in fifth, retrograde. My Mercury trines Neptune (8th), sextiles Pluto and opposes Jupiter (11th). Not sure it helps, but I thought I'd add my two cents. |
nattie33 | I dont know about the rest of the only children here but i like to travel solo and not in a herd. Never with groups of friends. |
Inner depths | My daughter is an only child. Venus ruling the 3rd and is found in her 11th conj Jupiter/mars/moon all in Cancer. heavens knows what that means - I know that I'm done with having any more children...one pregnancy was enough.... ID |
