It can be a bit of a lonely existence. I was an only child and I still wish I had at least one sibling. But I have also heard plenty of horror stories about siblings who want (and try) to murder one another, or undermine one another, at the very least. So, I know the grass is not always greener.IP: Logged |

My younger brothers passed away when they were tiny, so I end up being the only child. Their deaths casted shadow over my parents (well in truth, the shadow was casted long before they were born, their deaths just made it darker). I do think about them from time to time and wonder about how different life could have been if they've survived. I've tried to find what aspects that may indicate this, but it's pretty general. I have 3rd house moon square a bunch of outer planets (12th house uranus/neptune, 1st house saturn). My 3rd house ruler is neptune - in my case, maybe it played out as a "loss" of siblings.

I was an only child and I loved being one. I never had to fight for love, resources, and attention. I'm a Sagittarius Sun/Leo Moon.IP: Logged |

Being an only child sucks. There is nobody to compete with. My moon trine mars needs everyday competition. IP: Logged |

What's your third house? Its planets and aspects to third house planets?I ask because third house rules siblings, brothers, sisters, etc, etc. IP: Logged |

Anyway, so that my post has some connection to astrology, I have an empty third house, for what it's worth. IP: Logged |

I have a packed 3H, but I'm an only child. I like to daydream about having had a sibling or two, and how such could've been a relief during some of the more monotonous & dreary parts of childhood, though I'm aware that the reality would likely be very different from the fantasy (and that my loving them could've made my life and who I am today much worse).Still, extended families are still important with both sides of the family (though only mother's side accepted me), so I've had cousins who were like siblings to me, one in particular who was a major influence, and both he and I lived with Granny together at times. If the past life recollections are real, then that cousin and I are very closely linked, as I am with other relatives. Though I had no actual siblings, a childhood BFF was (according to these past life memories) also closely linked to me (and my mother). IP: Logged |

I'm not sure about the placements but I agree that it's probably good karma.In nature the sibling bond is one of (sometimes deadly) rivalry. There are many animal species that kill their siblings. Humans tend develop that spiritual brother/sisterhood bond when they're adults after much struggles and lessons learned. When we're children we can often see that sibling rivalry typical in nature. I think being an only child is easier and is one less hurdle in life. Cancer 3H (empty) Scorpio Moon 6H only child IP: Logged |

I can't speak for all only childs but for myself personally, I think it has to do w/ my North and South Nodes. My South Node is in 8H in Cancer - so I believe in my past lives I had a big family that supported me and gave me resources. My North Node is in 2H in Capricorn - and my lesson is to build my own resources through my own work. So I believe I was given a small family in this life to make me more self sufficient. I personally think being an only child is a curse. When your parents become ill, you have no one to help you take care of them. When they pass, you're pretty much alone with no support system. Also, I have cousins but I've only met them a few times and they live in a different country so were not close. **My 3H is ruled by Aquarius IP: Logged |

I was an only child growing up, and now I have 2 half-sisters aged 6 and 3 (I'm 21). My 3rd is empty and in Libra. I also have no air. I think air has a lot to do with social development, and while I had a lot of friends, it's just a different kind of social development happening when you actually live with other kids. IP: Logged |

im not sure if karma even necessarily has to do with being an only child...just experience and another way to live a life. i was an only child until my mom remarried and got pregnant with my little bruda when i was 13. ive spent a lot of time alone growing up, but as i was growing up i didnt see it in any negative way, thats just how it was and how i was.

Most likely not the same in everyone's chart but the only thing I can think of is Saturn in the 3rd. Being an only child is not so bad. I wish I was one with my Mars and Pluto in the 3rd nothing good comes from my half siblings. They are highly Plutonian just like me, but unlike me, they're unevolved and their whole lives are centered on lies, sex, secrets and money (Nothing wrong with getting money - Unless it's stealing it from our mother like one of my brothers) They are all adults and out of the oldest 3, 2 of them live 30 minutes away and I barely have contact with them unless they ring up the phone maybe 3 times a year wanting something. In my case, I would have been WAY better off without the partypoopers. IP: Logged |
