?Do you feel there is something up with your personality as a result?

Some astrology articles/blogs I have read come down heavily on c-sections and inductions suggesting they mess with the soul's arrival on the planet. But I am sceptical.

Here's a good one:

Friend of mine was a c-section, 2 weeks early. Never got along with his family, he's the black sheep.

Twist in the tale ~> no he wasn't, his mother told me some years after I met him. The birth was fine, a natural labour. It was an infection after that nearly killed me. But he was a difficult child to raise.

Previously I had got excited about this fantastic example, with Pluto menancingly on the Ascendant, etc. Time of birth recorded in his nation (unlike here), and she confirmed this.

My father told me I was born in 20 minutes and that "it is the fastest thing you have ever done".

That is interesting.since ive came familiar with astrology and reincarnations and all ive asked myself several times if my birht could affected me in some way ( in terms of destiny/fate/karma...)

I am a twin girl who was born at 6 months and a half term and only weigth 1 pound - i had several problems to come out and then i had 2 infections, 1 in the lungs and my heart stopped. Received several transfusions ( only by an english cause my blood is a rare one type)

I found quite interesting that for a tiny being like i was,could have made it 24 years ago

Do you think that maybe i was destined to die and then returned for some important reason? I ask this cause it was told to me,after 2 palm readings that i wasnt meant to be here and there was a breack in my 2 palms when i was born

my personality is very complex. I dont know if i would be a diferent person if i had born at the full cycle of a termed pregnancy.

As for me, I was the product of a normal labor and a quick delivery (I was only 4 lbs at birth, despite being full term at the end of a healthy pregnancy). My younger sister's birth was also quick after a normal labor. We are both earth suns with earth moons. Didn't stop us from having relatively unstable personalities (don't ask).

I've totally forgotten which house in the natal chart to look at if you want to know about the conditions of the chart owner's birth. I have read, however, that Mars or Pluto on the ascendant is sometimes an indication of a C-section birth for the chart owner.

Actually I have had children myself, the first time the midwife said I shouldn't have a bigger baby naturally as I am too small.

oh i see - me and my twin were born my natural labour then

Well regarding pluto:

i have it conh Saturn in the 1st house ( pluto in libra and saturn in scorpio);

Dont have a Moon/Pluto aspect though..

It sextiles my venus( in the 11th) and my neptune ( in the 3rd in sag).

Trines PF and oposes Vertex.

MAYBE the strong plutonian comes from it being in my 1st house?

Diandra: Here is stuff on Saturn conj ASC... maybe yours is not conj your ASC, but I figure it may apply anyway?

from Sue Tompkins' 'Aspects in Astrology':

quote:

---

Saturn rising is often associated with a difficult or delayed birth, as if the baby is reluctant to come out and enter into the world. Perhaps the infant is controlling the situation from the word 'go,' or on some level feels it needs to. In any event, this caution about and fear of greeting the world naked and exposed, seems to persist throughout much of the life.

She had us two, then a stillbirth that was left too long before induction. After that when she got pregnant again she was given a c-section when it had gone a bit past her due date.

According to Sue Tompkins' 'Aspects in Astrology,' you look at the 12th house, ASC, and 1st house to find out about the conditions of the chart owner's birth (before, during, after). She provides an example:

The Ascendant (and by this I do mean the whole 'complex' from now on) will often very graphically describe the birth moment. This is not easy to prove since we cannot remember our birth and unless we resort to rebirth techniques, have to rely on the memory of those who might describe it to us. One example of this that I really like is of a woman who has Aquarius rising but Jupiter conjunct the Ascendant in Pisces. It was very cold (Aquarius) just before she was born. So much so that the pipes froze in the house and there was a flood (Pisces). The mother brought on the birth prematurely by overstraining herself in trying to mop up all the water. More curious still is the fact that this same person has the long-term goal of living on a boat and travelling round the world in it.
