I was born in the morning on March 18 -that being my exact due date. My mother went into labor with me the evening before. She said that the doctor thought I'd be born the night before, but she knew better. She said she told the doctor "THIS baby's waiting for her due date!" I guess I knew that weighing 8 lbs, 10 oz, with a strong-headed resolve about me that I would definitely need an Aries rising sign. Maybe my soul figured that it'd be the best thing to help out my sweet Piscean sun and BAJILLION 'spiritual/psychic/intuitive/sensitive' aspects I'd be getting. I mean how much more would people try to take advantage of my good nature if I wasn't thick and 5'8'' going into middle school? lol. Also, I do not think that I would have made it this far to discover my North Node mission in Aries with out that (hidden many years to me) Aries AC.

I was born at 6:29am to be exact. They say this means that I get my first pick of lovers. Another mercy my unborn-stubborness was trying to grant me because, let me tell you, although in some ways I'm 'made for a relationship' the road to that place has got MORE than it's share of obstacles (Think Mars in Taurus square Venus in Aquarius -and I'm a WATER sign! Ugh!!).

As far as me waiting until specifically the 18th, well I'm STILL like that. I LOVE anticipation. I love the build up. I love surprising people. I'm the giggling person awaiting the drop of the rollar coaster that all the scaredy cats would strangle if they weren't white-knuckling the safety restraints. I'm the kid who NEVER peeks at presents and am always the last to open mine on holidays. I love the mystery (Moon in Scorpio) and the daydreaming (Piscean Sun) that one does as anticipation is slowly (Mars in Taurus) building to perfection (MC in Capricorn):-D

What about you??

I have this belief that people that are born on different dates than what a 'normal' pregnancy would entail are in a way 'adopted' into their new birth date. A mix of that and their soul knowing that they needed something unconventional than the expected path. In the way that a child can be adopted and fully part of and belonging to their adopted family ('destined' to be with adoptive parents and feeling as though these parents belong to them) and yet still be connected to the people who were tied to their birth, I
believe that the 'normal/original' sun sign would still have some pull and some exploration to ponder. Now just like with adoptees some never have a care or curiosity for their birth parents while others are consumed with an incomplete feeling, I think that people that had hard/pre-mature births respond in a whole variety of ways.

My little sister was born weeks pre-mature and with the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck 4 times. She was born an Aries and now FULLY represents these characteristics. However, looking at her a bit younger she actually was quite like a Taurus. She has been a rather volatile Aries at times (not without great cause) and now I truly believe that if she tempered herself with a bit of Tauras' pace and characteristics she would have a balance that would complement her and even her out.

Perhaps, the fact that you were announced to the the world originally as a Scorpio and were 'supposed' to have those influences is exactly why they're there? (The instability and lack of 'perfection' you feel?) And you coming out as a Virgo is a help to balance these traits -as Virgo is one of the signs that most loves 'perfecting'?

I not sure of what aspects could indicate a rough birth, but I will look into it. I wonder if this would also show up in your mother's natal chart as it would be her giving the birth?..
