When will I get pregnant? Can I get pregnant? Next to romance, this topic is the most emotional, fraught with joy and heartbreak. There are definitely transits and progressions that point to times when you are more likely to become pregnant, and I’m going to outline a few of the most common ones in this article. But first, some cautions.
I am not a medical practitioner, and my observations are from a purely astrological perspective. If you’re having issues with fertility, I strongly recommend that your primary source of assistance be from a doctor. Also, a transit or progression which encourages pregnancy will only work if you’re able to get pregnant. These influences don’t cause pregnancy, they simply amplify the natal potential. And finally, please refrain from posting queries in the comments section asking whether you’ll get pregnant with transit A hitting your chart, or aspect B in your chart. This is such a complicated and sensitive topic that I’m not going to offer any advice based on one or two isolated descriptions.
The following influences are targeted towards the mother’s chart. Obviously, the male partner is essential, and transits/progressions to his chart will show what’s happening with his partner, and if he might have children. But for simplicity’s sake, I’m going to focus on the woman’s chart; there’s more than enough information there to indicate if and when a pregnancy might happen.
Encouragement/Discouragement
Energies that encourage conception are most often triggered by Jupiter (expansion) and Venus (what you want). By progression, transit or solar arc, these two planets aspecting your natal chart are strongly featured in pregnancy. In the case of an unexpected pregnancy, or assistance from medical technology (such as in vitro fertilization), aspects from transiting or progressed Uranus are often seen. Sometimes transiting/progressed Pluto is in the mix, signifying the complete transformation that pregnancy brings.

Transiting/progressed/solar arc Saturn (limits) and Mars (energy) forming hard aspects to your natal chart can sometimes (but not always) indicate barriers or disruption to pregnancy. Astrological influences are a weighting system; the more positive transits/progressions that are hitting your chart at one time, the greater the likelihood of a desired event occurring. If those positive influences are strong enough, they can sometimes lessen the negative ones. But as always, you have to look at your natal potential first.
What natal planets or points need to be aspected?
The Moon, the Sun and the 5th House
The Moon is associated with motherhood and female cycles, so it’s usually emphasized during times of conception. Slower transits from the outer planets (Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) to your natal and/or progressed Moon can have a significant impact. Solar Arc Venus conjuncting your natal Moon is encouraging, but a simultaneous square from transiting Saturn can suggest difficulties.
The 5th House represents what you create, hence its association with children. The progressed Moon (evolving needs) moving through this house can herald a time when pregnancy is more likely. It often shows when you are trying to get pregnant (your evolving needs are focused on children) but I’ve also seen this progression happen during an unexpected or unwanted pregnancy. Also, the progressed Moon does not need to be in the 5th House for conception to occur (but it helps). Sometimes the transiting North Node moving through the 5th can be a time of conception, as the North Node points to the future. Transiting Jupiter through the 5th House is very positive, but I’ve seen it more frequently associated with giving birth.
There needs to be more than one positive transit or progression. So we also look for encouraging things happening with the ruler of the 5th House (the planet that rules the 5th House cusp). Maybe a trine from transiting Jupiter. Or a conjunction from progressed Venus. If there are any natal planets in the 5th House, transits and progressions to them are going to be very important. Note that if you have no natal 5th House planets, you can still get pregnant. A lack of 5th House planets says absolutely nothing about your fertility.
Aspects to the natal or progressed Sun (life’s purpose) in any house are also important (although not as important as the Moon). Solar Arc or progressed Sun conjuncting natal Venus (or vice versa) indicates the moment when your purpose (Sun) unites with what you desire (Venus). It’s also a union of male (Sun) and female (Venus) energies. But remember, it’s helpful to have multiple, positive influences happening at the same time. So if your progressed Venus is conjuncting your natal 5th House Sun; and your natal Moon is being trined by transiting Jupiter; and your progressed Moon is being hit by a conjunction from transiting Pluto … that’s a lot of pregnancy-positive energy.
Lunar Cycles and Fertile Signs
There is a fertility prediction technique involving lunar cycles. The theory is, when the Moon (in the sky) matches the phase it was in when you were born, you are fertile. I cannot vouch for this method, but it was pioneered by Dr. Eugene Jonas and is used (apparently) by many practitioners today. If you’re curious, Astrodienst has a free Lunar Phases fertility calendar which can calculate your fertile days based on his method.
Also, certain signs are considered more fertile than others. Water signs are the most fertile, while Taurus, Libra and Capricorn are considered semi-fertile. Aries, Sagittarius and Aquarius are semi-barren, while Gemini, Leo and Virgo are barren. Using this theory, if your progressed Moon is in a water sign, you’re most likely to be fertile. If your progressed Moon is in a semi-fertile sign, your chances aren’t as great, but still pretty good. And so on. Take these classifications with a grain of salt; they may add weight to other aspects that encourage pregnancy, but I’m not sure that it’s impossible to get pregnant when your progressed Moon is in a “barren” sign. Note that these are based on astrologer William Lilly’s classifications. If your natal Moon is in a barren sign, this doesn’t discourage pregnancy.
This article only scratches the surface regarding pregnancy indicators. Astrological prediction of fertility is a vast and complex topic that involves the entire chart, including the natal potential to conceive (or blocks to it).

What do you say to a woman who asks you to look at herhoroscope to see if a pregnancy is in her future? Often stressed andanxious, she inquires emotionally, 'Will I have a baby? And if so,when?'
Naturally, as astrologers, we want to be able to answer thesequestions. We are motivated to identify if and when a pregnancy mayoccur, as suggested by reliable planetary cycles.
The astrology patterns present in a mother's chart for the nine-month period of her pregnancy are both fascinating and complex. However, thesame aspects in a woman's chart that suggest pregnancy could also pointto many other things. We can't know for sure when a cycle will set thestage for a new life coming forth or, instead, manifest as personalexpansion in another area.
It would be nice and neat if there were a magic formula(astrologically speaking) that would allow us to be able to predictpregnancy. But this just isn't how astrology works — at least, not inmodern times when we have more free will, more choice in this regard.
However intriguing it might be to identify the planetary indicatorsthat could suggest pregnancy, I think it's essential that we approach this subject with both wisdom and caution. As astrologers, we bear a responsibility to be careful with our words and to be respectful of thepossibility that, when certain thoughts are planted in a person's mind,they can manifest. Stress, fear, worry, and doubt have such a strongeffect on a woman's hormonal system that we certainly don't want toinadvertently plant a negative seed by not being mindful of how weaddress this delicate topic.
The fact, though, is that women frequently do come to anastrologer with questions about conception and pregnancy — wanting toknow if and when a child may come into their life. Often, by the timethey seek the counsel of an astrologer, they're already feeling anxietyor pressure about this subject. This is normal, and we need to know howto handle this situation.
Free Will and Choice
Before we start to look for potential signs of an upcoming pregnancy,we must first make sure that we understand the reality of the person seeking answers. We need to remember that reliable birth control is readily available in our culture, and women generally have a great dealof choice with their reproductive systems. While the ideal 'textbook'lineup of aspects for fertility may be present in a client's chart duringher childbearing years, she may choose not to go in that direction.
That's why I always ask one or more key questions: 'Are you thinkingof pregnancy? Are you in a serious relationship? Are you taking birth control? Do you want a child?' In other words, is a pregnancy a reasonable possibility, given the client's reality?
I think it's important to remember that planetsdon't do things — people do. Choice enters into the picture. Theastrologer who makes a dramatic and declarative pronouncement, such as,'You will be pregnant in July!' seems to me to be acting out of ego,rather than truly being of service to the client. Free will needs to behonored.
Recently I saw a new client who had been told by a psychic that shewould absolutely, positively be pregnant in February 2014. The client mentioned that this declaration triggered a sense of fate — a feelingthat her pregnancy was out of her control — as if it were ordained tohappen. Interestingly, it also intensified her inner anxiety: Shewondered if she was doing everything 'right' in order to support theprediction. She actually worried about missing the most fertile days forengaging in sex, due to scheduling issues with her husband's work. A veryreal fear arose because she focused on not messing up the special timethat was so firmly forecast.
February arrived and she was not pregnant … and still isn't.She told me she felt that she had failed, that she had missed the windowopened by the Universe. She said she would rather not have had theprediction issued.
This client had allowed someone else to unduly influence her reality,and this ignited a host of very stressful feelings. The internal fear and anxiety about fulfilling the prediction may well have put her hormonalsystem into overdrive, which could have contributed to her not becomingpregnant. The body–mind connection is so powerful!
Many astrologers simply won't issue this type of exact or absolute prediction. However, in my 30 years of consulting with clients, I haveheard plenty of stories of damaging proclamations such as this — storiesthat underline the need for astrologers to be mindful and sensitive.
In this article, I'll explore the aspects and references that suggest a potential pregnancy, and I'll present several case studies that help usto understand patterns. As you'll see, the astrology of pregnancy is aprofound and fascinating subject, one that calls for a clear awarenessthat helps us to better serve our clients.
The Trigger
There is always a good backstory behind each article I write.Invariably, an event or a trigger launches my interest and leads toresearch, analysis, and deep learning. This article started with mypreparation to speak at the annual Student Seminar for the Noel TylMaster Certification Course, January 2014, in Newark, New Jersey. Noelhas given me the opportunity to be his Teaching Associate, and I was presenting a section on the topic of planets moving to the Aries Point(AP) by solar arc.1
As I was preparing for my lecture, I let my intuitive mind guide meto celebrity horoscopes that had planets at the AP by solar arc so that I could use them as examples. When I saw Chelsea Clinton's name in myfiles, I instantly had the special inner nudge that signals me to checkout her chart.
Sure enough, when I examined young Ms. Clinton'shoroscope, I saw that solar arc (SA) Uranus was at 29°17' Sagittarius inJanuary 2014. Uranus would solar arc to the Aries Point (0° cardinal)later in the year, in October. What I found interesting is that, in hernatal chart, Uranus rules the 4th house, and when a planet that rules anangle in the natal chart moves by solar arc to the AP, there seems to bean extra power to this kind of 'bloom.' So, I asked myself, 'What would be happening in her life with 4th-house matters, i.e., family issues?'
Looking deeper in her horoscope, I noticed that she also had SA Pluto= (natal) Uranus (with solar arc notation, we delete the aspect and insert an equal sign) and SA Venus = Uranus in June 2014. It's easy tosee a repeating message about the 4th house being highly activated! Iimmediately started to wonder about pregnancy.
In addition to all the activity with Uranus in Chelsea Clinton's chart, there was also transiting Saturn conjunct her Ascendant from November 2013 to July 2014. The conjunction of Saturn with the Ascendantis highly significant and suggests the start of a new 29-year cyclerelated to identity and sense of self. There is almost always a majorshift in how we see ourselves with this cycle, and we know that when awoman has her first baby, there is a powerful change in identity!
One more measurement sealed the deal for me: I noticed thattransiting Jupiter would conjoin her Leo Moon in August 2014, and thensquare her Ascendant from October 2014 to June 2015.
I felt that all this activity was a natural signal for potentialfamily expansion and that chances were good that we might hear an announcement of her pregnancy sometime in 2014. I mentioned this to theTyl students in January, and then on March 13, I also posted my prediction on Noel's public Discussion Forum in the section 'Astrology ofthe Famous and Well Known.'2
On April 17, just one month after my public post,we received the happy news that Chelsea Clinton was indeed pregnant, andshe subsequently gave birth to a daughter on September 26, 2014 — justsix days before SA Uranus moved precisely to 0°00' Capricorn!
The catalysts for this article and the accompanying research were the many personal e-mails I received in response to my post on the Tyl forum.I began to get requests from astrologers who wanted to better understandthe cycles and aspects that may suggest pregnancy. They were keen to havediscussion that went beyond the type of thinking that 'a transit to aplanet in the 5th house will bring a pregnancy.' They were intrigued bythe measurements I presented, which not only suggested a pregnancy, butalso resulted in one.
I, too, wanted to delve more deeply into the topic, so I began toscour my files for mothers and their children. Thus began the process of data collection for the cycles that were going on when the women were carrying babies in their bellies.
Research Parameters
I gathered data for 56 births from 36 mothers. In all cases exceptone, the birth time is verified by the birth certificate. I have personally worked with most of the mothers for many years in astrologyconsultations, and am familiar with their life stories.
I felt that it was necessary to keep the measurements simple andbasic. My belief is that the important, powerful life changes are usually obvious and easy to see in the horoscope, if you know what to look for.My friend and mentor, Noel Tyl, calls them big bells — theyvibrate loudly and attract our attention. So, I looked only for transitsfrom Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, and I included just the aspects of conjunctions, squares, and oppositions to the natal planets,lunar nodes, and angles in the horoscope.
I also looked for solar arcs, but only the conjunctions, squares, and oppositions. I included solar arcs to the nodal axis and alsosolar arcs from the nodes. Noel Tyl has advanced the idea thatthe nodes can be a strong symbol of female energy. Planets in the natalchart that are configured with the nodal axis often suggest therelationship with the mother or significant female figure, so naturally Iextended that to include motherhood. It made sense to me that, duringpregnancy, we might see transits or solar arcs involving the nodalaxis.
You might wonder why I didn't include the harmonious trine or the flowing sextile aspects. My feeling is that these easy measurements don'tpropel us forward with enough significant momentum or a strong enoughpush to result in a major life change. I have always found that theaspects that have tension produce the biggest growth and forwardmovement.
I used charts of women who had birth times verified by their birth certificate, with only one exception: the chart of my mother-in-law. Herstory of pregnancy is very interesting, and I will use her chart as anexample to illustrate my point.
Most of the women included in this research had more than one child,and a few had as many as four. I looked at the transits and solar arcsthat were going on during the nine-month period of their pregnancies.This is a simple thing to do: You take the date when the child was born and count backward nine months, and then you scan that time frame for thetransits and solar arcs in the mother's chart.
My focus was not to find the exact time of conception, but rather to look at the entire period of pregnancy. I watched for the outer-planettransits that made an exact contact during that nine-monthperiod. I did the same with solar arcs: I considered only the arcs thatcame to perfection while the woman was carrying the baby, or at the timeof birth.
I started the research for this article by asking myself thequestion: 'What patterns would you anticipate seeing in a woman'shoroscope at the time of pregnancy?' I thought I'd see frequenttraditional fertility solar arcs involving the Sun and Venus, or Venusand the Ascendant, and so on. I also assumed that there would be apredominant pattern of transits or solar arcs to the ruler of the 5thhouse or to planets in the 5th. However, this didn't show up withas much regularity as I expected.
What I anticipated seeing didn't prove to be the case. I wasabsolutely fascinated!
Giving Birth Is a Big Life Event
I considered that I may have been thinking in terms that weretoo narrow regarding the astrology of pregnancy. Conceiving, growing a new life, and having a baby represent a huge lifestyle change — it is asignificant and powerful life-altering event when a child is brought intothe world.
Most women these days are engaged in careers and continue to workeven after having a baby. A hundred years ago — maybe even 50 years ago — this was not common. In the early 20th century, most women viewed getting married, having babies, and raising a family as their primary life purpose and career.
The majority of charts I used for research were those of women bornin the 1940s or '50s — the point in time when their childbearing yearscoincided with the more widespread acceptance of women in the workforce.The database for this article contains a few charts of mothers who wereborn in the early 1900s and also several who were born in the late 1980sand early '90s.
I think it's important to reiterate that, early in the 20th century, becoming a mother was linked to the sense of achieving one's life purpose. Unless one was in the über-wealthy upper class and could afforda full-time nanny, women stayed home, and their entire focus was onraising their children and managing the household. Perhaps if weexclusively studied horoscopes for births in the 1800s and early 1900s,we may see a different pattern, compared to what I saw with contemporarybirths.
In modern times, women focus their ambition and desire forachievement not just on having a family, but also on a career. Having ababy is certainly significant, but — let's be real — nowadays when a woman who works full time has a baby, her life assumes a high degree ofcomplexity as she juggles a career and childcare issues. This also addsresponsibility to the father's lifestyle, but the stress felt by the manis more often one of financial pressure to provide security.
We still hear many stories suggesting that, despite both parentsworking full time, it's primarily the woman who does the majority of cleaning, cooking, and household caretaking. I know there are exceptions,but it seems that career women are now taking on two full-time jobs whenthey have a baby.
So, how would all this show up in the horoscope? Isn't it reasonable that the cycles that are present in the chart of a woman who becomes pregnant would symbolize a big life change instead of just fertility or 5th-house references?
The Data
As I analyzed the charts, I found it very interesting that there were consistently three to five different big bell transits or solararcs going on simultaneously during the pregnancy. In many cases, there were even more than five. This is likely the most noteworthy piece of information to consider. We should probably change the way we are viewingthis, moving from 'What specific transits or solar arcs suggest a birth?'to 'How many cycles are occurring at once when a woman becomespregnant?' With this approach, I began to expect to see three ormore major cycles going on simultaneously in the chart of a pregnantmother, as I continued to collect the data.
Following is a breakdown of aspects for the 56 births I analyzed(from 36 mothers with accurate birth data).
1. Angular Activity
The most frequent cycle I saw was a transit from an outer planet — ora solar arc — to an angle, with the Ascendant and Descendant having themost activity. Twenty-six charts out of 56 (46%) received direct hits tothese angles. Four of those charts had more than one transit or solar arcaffecting the Asc./Desc. at the same time. Jupiter and Saturn cycleshitting the 1st/7th axis were most common. Interestingly, Neptunefollowed a close second.
The direct hit to an angle is certainly significant, and we shouldkeep this in mind when we are pondering the question of a potential pregnancy (major life event). Angles are the most dynamic points in thehoroscope, so we can expect powerful movement in life when one of theseareas is contacted.
Just as potent for change and growth is the planetary rulerof an angle being activated by a transit or solar arc. Since Mercury andVenus each rule two signs, there are more opportunities for an angleruler to be triggered, so I didn't tally up the number of charts thatreflected this. But I must mention that, by far, the angles were the most active areas, receiving the most hits in the 56 births I studied.
Angles and their rulers must be considered as powergenerators for major life changes when activated by transits and solararcs — and this activation was consistently present in the charts ofpregnant women in my research.
2. The Sun
Twenty-two out of 56 pregnancies (39%) had exact contact from a solararc or an outer-planet transit to the natal Sun, with eight of thosecharts showing multiple transits or solar arcs to the Sun going on at the same time. Again, as with the angles, Jupiter and Saturn cycles to theSun were most common, with Neptune following a very close second.
The Sun is the symbol for our core sense of self, our life purposeand direction. Strong transits and solar arcs to the Sun offer us a period to consider a course correction in life, to build a new feeling ofconfidence, or to strengthen our identity. Often when the Sun isactivated by a cycle, we re-evaluate who we are and where we aregoing.
It makes sense that cycles to the natal Sun would be a consistent pattern for pregnant women. When a woman carries a pregnancy to term, there is often a change in how she sees herself. I've had frequent conversations with women who mention that, when they become a mother, it's very common for them to refer to themselves as 'someone's mom'instead of using their own name. The inner image shifts to mother andprotector of a child, rather than the image of oneself as a separateindividual.
One note about Neptune transits or solar arcs showing up frequentlyboth to the angles and to the Sun: At first this really surprised me. I certainly never anticipated Neptune as being a factor in a pregnancy! However, when we consider that there is enormous sacrifice required whena woman becomes a mother, isn't that Neptune energy? And there's theissue of the temporary change (loss) in individualized identity thathappens for women when they step into the powerful role of guardianshipand protector of new life. Mothers tend to put their children's needsfirst; there is often a selflessness that goes with the job. Neptunefrequently dissolves ego, and this fits in with the bloom of motherhood.Interesting!
A Miracle Birth: Jupiter Hits the Sun
The only horoscope I included that does not have a verified birthtime is that of my mother-in-law, Emma Rose. (I use a sunrise chart whenno time is provided.)
Mrs. Rose very much wanted to have a large family and began trying to become pregnant in her early 20s, right after she got married. Followingmany years of focusing on getting pregnant with no success, she finallywent to a doctor for help. She was told that she was infertile, and wasabsolutely crushed. However, as is occasionally the case, Mrs. Rose wasshocked, amazed, and thrilled when, out of the blue, she became pregnantat 39 years of age. In the 1950s, that was considered very old to have afirst child. She always referred to her son, my husband, as her 'miraclebaby.'
I thought of her story when I started this article, andknew that I had to check out what was going on in her chart during herpregnancy. I anticipated seeing either a Venus solar arc or a contactfrom Jupiter, simply because that carries the 'miracle' energy. Amazingly, when she became pregnant, it was during SA Jupiter = Sun. Shewas also receiving a transit from Jupiter in Aries to her natal Jupiterand Venus in the fall of 1951, when she discovered she was pregnant.Miracle baby, indeed! The benefic rays of Jupiter produced thereward.
One last note about this horoscope: Mrs. Rose suffered from frequent migraine headaches, but when she became pregnant, they stopped completely— probably due to the hormonal changes. She mentioned to me many timesthat, during the nine months of pregnancy, she felt the best she ever hadin all her life. Again, we see the benefic Jupiter solar arc shiningthrough!
I suspect that we'd see activity to her angles, if we had her birth time. She lived a long and fulfilling life, passing away when she was 93.I felt that chances would be good that, even without a birth time, theaspects reflecting the miracle pregnancy would be easy to see — and theywere.
3. The Moon
The Moon is a natural symbol for the mother energy, and it's normalto anticipate that it might receive transits or solar arcs when a woman becomes pregnant. Twenty-one out of my 56 research horoscopes (37%) hadexamples of the Moon being transited or contacted by a solar arc, with 6of those 21 having multiple cycles to the Moon during pregnancy.Interestingly, contact from Uranus to the Moon was strongest, followed bySaturn, Pluto, Neptune, and then Jupiter, in that order.
Personally, I had a powerful theme of lunar involvement for both ofmy pregnancies. Transiting Uranus was square my Moon when I was pregnant with my first baby, and with my second child I had SA Pluto = Moon andtransiting Jupiter opposite my Moon happening at the same time.
I also had SA Ascendant at 0° Cancer (Aries Point, or AP) when I gave birth to my first child. This is especially significant because I neverthought I would want children. I have a very independent warrior Moon inAries. Having my SA Ascendant hit the AP in Cancer, a lunar-ruled sign —along with the Uranus transit to my Moon — totally altered my thinking,and I embraced motherhood with a passion! My identity easily flowed intothe role of nurturing mother and caretaker.
A Surprise Pregnancy: Uranus Transit to the Moon
One of my long-term clients, 'Pam' (a pseudonym), wastotally astonished when she became pregnant with her first child at age45. She had an amazingly easy pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy son when she was just three months shy of her 46th birthday.
When Pam became pregnant, she was in a long-term serious relationshipbut wasn't married. The surprise pregnancy pushed her and her partner towed immediately, and the cycles going on in her chart at the time tellthe tale. We see the 'surprise' by the many cycles involving Uranus:
- Transiting (TR) Uranus conjunct the Moon
- SA Uranus = Mars (ruler of the 4th house)
- TR Saturn conjunct Uranus (exact two months after the birth)
- SA Uranus = Jupiter (ruler of the Ascendant)
- SA Midheaven = Uranus
Therepeating pattern of contact through transits and solar arcs in her chart(both to Uranus and from Uranus) suggests the sudden andunexpected change that the news of pregnancy brought into her life. Withthe Uranus–Moon transit, plus the solar arc from Uranus to the ruler ofthe Ascendant, we see the powerful trigger to an angle, which I mentionedearlier.
It's fascinating that, in a consultation Pam and I had in 2005, I mentioned to her that there was a suggestion of marriage or perhaps significant relationship development in her chart in 2006. I saw this with SA Venus = Sun, which was exact in mid 2006. Because I never evenconsidered that pregnancy might occur (given the fact that she was in hermid 40s), I naturally thought of marriage or relationship issues instead.The marriage did manifest, but it was triggered by the fact that shebecame pregnant!
We'll explore the Venus energy next.
3. Venus
As I stated earlier, I anticipated seeing a predominance of Venuscycles in examples of pregnancies because I associate this planet with matters of women's fertility. From the sample charts I had, 37% werereceiving a transit or solar arc to natal Venus. Particularlyinteresting to me was that there were 21 charts with Venus beingaspected; in 5 of the 21, Venus ruled the 5th house (children), andanother 5 of the 21 had Venus ruling the 4th (family).
Amazingly, it was Saturn transits or solar arcs to Venus that weremost common (6 cases out of 21), followed by Pluto (5 cases), Uranus (4cases), and Jupiter and Neptune (2 each). The cycles I usually considerto be classic potential pregnancy indicators are either SA Venus = Ascendant or SA Ascendant = Venus. There were 2 cases of each of thesecycles in the sample.
Let me share with you a clear case example that had Venus andAscendant activity: Veronica is a client of mine who also became one ofmy astrology students. Her studies, however, were interrupted by her pregnancy. What's truly wonderful is that Veronica allowed the class touse her chart in early 2012 as a teaching tool for aspects that suggest apossible pregnancy. Starting in late 2011, she began to feel the desireto be a mother tugging at her, and in January 2012, she asked if we couldexplore this topic in class.
Veronica has one of the very easy-to-spot signatures forheightened fertility. When she asked the question about possiblepregnancy, she had SA Ascendant at 27°55' Virgo. I noticed that she wouldhave SA Asc. = Venus exact in the fall of 2012 (solar arc planets advanceforward 5 minutes of arc per month). She also had transiting Pluto squareher natal Jupiter–Saturn conjunction (Jupiter is the ruler of the 5th house). I knew that, in the summer of 2012, transiting Uranus would jointhe mix in opposition to natal Jupiter.
That's all I needed to see to feel confident in saying there was astrong suggestion that it probably wouldn't be difficult for her to conceive sometime in 2012. I felt very comfortable saying this becauseshe had already announced her intention. I never told her shewould conceive — I mentioned that there was a suggestionof easy conception. I think that putting it this way sends a better message and doesn't create pressure.
She became pregnant in the spring of 2012, just before transitingJupiter was conjunct her Midheaven, and gave birth in December.
I hope you spotted something in Veronica's horoscope suggesting a second child: Did you see that SA Sun = Venus (Midheaven ruler) in 2016,exact in December 2016?
I want to mention something noteworthy here: Veronica has the luxury of living circumstances where she does not need to work. She is viewing motherhood as her career and a large part of her life purpose, and she isa very happy, dedicated, full-time mother. Perhaps this is why one of theold 'classic' signatures — Venus combined with the Ascendant or Sun — waspresent during her first pregnancy (with the theme showing up again forpossibly another baby in 2016).
5. Jupiter
There were 18 out of 56 pregnancies in the research group (32%) wherenatal Jupiter received a transit or solar arc. In 8 of these 18 cases, Jupiter ruled either the 4th or 5th house.
The Jupiter return was in play for 5 of the pregnancies — that wasthe most active cycle. For the solar arcs, a few of the planetary combinations that really make sense with birth were present: Ascendant =Jupiter, Sun = Jupiter, and Moon = Jupiter.
6. Saturn
Twenty-one pregnancies (37.5%) had a solar arc or transit toSaturn.
One of the most frequent questions I received from astrologers aftermy posting on the Tyl forum concerned the Saturn transit conjunct Chelsea Clinton's Ascendant, and whether the Saturn energy would make thepregnancy difficult. Honestly, at first I also contemplated this, until Icollected enough data and questioned many of the mothers who had thisaspect. I learned that very few of them mentioned difficulty while theycarried or delivered their baby. Perhaps the consistent Saturn cyclesthat show up are simply pointing to the fact that the structure of ourdaily life changes when we bring in a new life. Having a child is aserious matter, really an issue of increased responsibility — and isn'tthis the essential message from the Taskmaster planet?
7. Uranus
Miscarriage Prediction Astrology Definition
Thirty percent of pregnant women in my research group wereexperiencing an exact transit or solar arc to Uranus. There were 17 caseswith natal Uranus activated, and 3 of those were receiving multiplecycles to that planet.
I have to note that Saturn transits to Uranus were most common. This makes sense when you consider that the Saturn–Uranus combo spellschange and the release of the old so that fresh, new energy cancome in.
8. Nodal Axis
I'm very glad that I included the transits and solar arcs to thenodal axis because, in 30% of the pregnancies, there was an exact transit or solar arc to the nodes.
Transiting Jupiter to the nodal axis showed up most frequently. I didnot differentiate between the North and South Node, but simply looked for contact to either. I also recorded how many times I saw the SA nodes hitting a natal planet, and there were 6 cases out of 56.
The transits and solar arcs to the nodal axis shouldn't be ignored. I understand that considering 'motherhood' as a symbol when the nodes areactivated may be a new concept, but the fact that it happened in 30% ofthe cases is extremely interesting. This subject needs more study, ofcourse.
9. Neptune
Sixteen cases out of 56 (28%) had a direct hit to natal Neptunethrough solar arc or transit. In 4 of those cases, there were multiplecycles triggering Neptune.
Transits from Pluto to Neptune were the most common; however, this islargely because all but one of the women in my sample had Pluto andNeptune in sextile in the natal chart, and Pluto had moved to transitNeptune during the childbearing years. Jupiter's transits to Neptune were almost as frequent as Pluto's.
10. Pluto
Transits or solar arcs to Pluto were present in 25% of thecases I studied. The very powerful transit from Saturn to Pluto was mostcommon. That was a surprise because this cycle is connected with hardwork and sometimes loss. I wouldn't have anticipated seeing these twoplanets in contact with any regularity during a pregnancy.
Summary
I suggest that you consider your analysis and understanding of planetary activity related to the astrology of pregnancy this way: Thecycles work in combination with each other and create an active timeframe in a woman's life for a major life event. No single cycle standsout that would herald a pregnancy in and of itself. Instead, you need tobe aware of multiple big bell aspects chiming together. It thenseems logical that a concurrence of planetary cycles can trigger thiskind of momentous expansion.
Miscarriage Prediction Astrology Predictions
When analyzing the horoscope of a woman in childbearing years, weshould be alert to the time frames when the chart is highly activated by many solar arcs or transits occurring at once — and especially take noteif the angles are involved. We must also be practical: With effectivecontraception so prevalent, if a woman is practicing birth control andhas no intention of getting pregnant, the patterns I am presenting willlikely bring about a result other than pregnancy.
I've already started a new level of research with the women in thisstudy, asking them to describe significant events going on in their lives and their state of mind when they became pregnant. As we would expect,their stories flow with the specific transits or solar arcs that were ineffect in their chart.
And of course, this topic wouldn't be complete without pondering the activity that was going on in the father's horoscope during theperiod of the mother's pregnancy. Future research will bring thiscritical context to the discussion of the astrology of pregnancy.
