I was reading something on another astro website and someone said that an angular mars or aries risings pertains to a forced birth of some sort. Very logical.

I have aries rising myself and my birth was c-section.
I was a 10-month pregnancy and was 11.5 pounds when I was born (asc conj jup in 1st). I almost killed my mother too. My moon is opp asc widely conj pluto (also conj DC but from the 6th). I greeted my dad by kicking him and was moved into solitary confinement in hospital because I screamed (mars in gem/3rd) and kicked. My dad said I was bright red always too.

I'm curious about these aries influences on your others' birth. If you have these issues in your chart, was the birth forced in some way?

Except when I spoke to his mother she told me he wasn't a C-Section at all. The birth went O.K but there were serious problems afterwards. So all this proves really is my theory that he never listens properly.

Isn't Mars associated with quick births?
One of my kids has Mars Rising in the 12th. He was born very quickly, he was induced, but otherwise no medical intervention. And Neptune in the 1st, water birth.

Aries is on the cusp of my 5th and 6th houses, Placidus. Both my births were quick, an hour and half first time, 15 minutes the second. I was born in 20 minutes myself as child number 2.

My bf is an Aries rising but it was a 'normal' birth as far as I know.

I have been told many times that a Scorpio moon or moon aspecting Pluto can indicate difficulties with the birth, and near-death experiences associated with your birth. I'm a Scorpio moon and there was a time during my mother's pregnancy that she started to bleed - I consider myself lucky that I'm here today and didn't end up as a miscarriage. My birth was caused a bit of tearing to my mother, and also she got a terrible fright the next day because it turned out that not all of the placenta/ blood had come out straight afterwards, and nobody realised. So the next day when all of this blood started coming out she thought she was dying! She's Pluto opposite moon herself, I hear that we all have issues related to childbirth.

Hey 23!

I was a c-section and l was born about 3 weeks early so l should have been a gemini

I was also addicted to all the drugs my mother took during her pregnancy, so after a couple of hours of being in this world l suddenly went blue and they had to fight to save my life. Luckily a specialist in newborn drug addiction was in London that day from up north, and he handled the whole thing.

I was in hospital for weeks being weaned off the drugs, l think. To be honest my mother remembers ZILCH but l have done rebirthing and l know that i stopped moving in her womb and they rushed her to hospital and tried to induce her first... then went to C-section.

Lara - we're lucky we've still got you!

BM - yeah, heard the birthing process might be a 5th house thing. I guess I'll just die when I reproduce lol! My 5th house cusp is leo. sun in aqu conj merc, squ ura, opp saturn.

GL - that's really interesting. My partner is sco moon and I think his mother was out of it when he was born.

No aries connection. Mars was square Uranus and Jupiter, unexpected accidents,hmm

The Moon is exactly conjunct Black Moon Lilith on my chart, as well as being 3* from Pluto.

No problems with my birth, aside from her nearly giving birth in the car. Similar for me and #2, the first was quick as well in both cases.

I think this planetary combo must have different significance in our case, I don't think it is about giving birth which we both did easy (luck of the draw, I'm not expecting a medal).

Well l didn't even know about any of it until l did my rebirthing and l got so panicked during it, the rebirther said l should ask my parents about my birth!

Forceps were used, I was bruised and taken away for 24 hours before my mum could see me. I have a feeling this is why I have a slightly gammy neck.

I was looking at a friend's chart. She gave birth to a baby girl last february. Labor was quick, natural, no injury to mum. She has Aries on the 5th. Her mars though is in Tau.

Her next three deliveries seem to go as per normal.
