Is this a Silly Question?

[SolsticeStrega]

Hi! Can someone help me? I have a silly question.... Does your actual due date have influence on your personality? Ya know like when people are born early or late and there actual sign changes? Or is it just when ya popped out? I can't seem to find an answer to this anywhere? Thanks in advance.......
Solstice..:eek: :eek:

Well your conception date might be relevent... and the due date is calculated from the conception date... so it's not impossible.

But the actual birthdate has the strongest effect by far.

Any acutely stressful event in your life can create a chart that acts somewhat like your birth chart. But it's unlikely, after you are born, that you could experience anything as acutely stressful as birth without dying.

There are NO silly questions ;)

love

[Doctor Oakroot]

but there are plenty of questions that will get silly moderators bitching at you :)

[Danustouch]

ummmmmmmm....Doc...I really think that that was unfair. Not to mention, it is not applicable to this thread. I suggest that if you have an issue with another thread, or another member, even if that member is a Moderator, you Contact that individual, and handle it privately.

Issues with a Moderator are always to be handled via Private Message. If you do not get satisfaction in talking to the Moderator in Question, contact an Admin.

Point taken.... but I do think my comment was accurate :)

[Danustouch]

ahhh..you are one of those "Last Word Types", eh?

Doc...please, so I don't have to say it again, after trying TWICE to be very diplomatic, and kind. Let it go...or handle it privately. And if you want to respond to *This*...you can feel free to PM me.:) I'm sure you understand.

Sorry Folks....:)

To get back on topic, I think your conception date would indeed have some impact upon you, astrologically, Maybe upon how you and your parents relate to eachother??? I wonder if that could be one way....hmmm...I think I will go and ponder this some more.

I've always wondered about that. I was born 2 1/2 months premature, and have thought about that often.

[Litha]

Fey, I'm not suprised you do think about this often. It is quite interesting the way ideas and thoughts are organized...what do you vizualize as the thoughtform that goes along with the word "premature"?
As an outsider looking at the entire experience, it would seem that you were born exactly when you should have been, at the time you chose to manifest on this plane.
I'm curious if you have cardinal markers in your chart, such as Sun/Moon/Asc Aries, or a cardinal axis?

Oh, Litha sweetie, you have managed to lose me completely. :lol: Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your above questions.......heck, I wouldn't even know where to start. :)

ack! lemme see here then...

The 12 signs can be categorized in three qualities: Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable
If you go about the wheel from the beginning at Aries, all around to Pisces, you can list each sign:

Aries/Cardinal Taurus/Fixed Gemini/Mutable
Cancer/Cardinal Leo/Fixed Virgo/Mutable
Libra/Cardinal Scorpio/Fixed Sag/Mutable
Capricorn/Cardinal Aquarius/Fixed Pisces/Mutable

The chart can be divided into 4 by scoring it vertically and horizontally. Like a big cross cut of a pizza pie. This is the axis.

The horizon runs left to right and begins on the left most side with the 1st house cusp, also called the ascendant (Self). The other pole of the horizon point, on the right side is the descendant, the 7th house cusp (Other/Lover-Enemy).
The vertical pole runs up and down with the lower point being the IC and 4th house cusp (home base/family) and upper point being the MC and 10th house cusp (social status/public persona).
Cusps are the beginning marker that begins each of the 12 houses.

If your first house begins in a cardinal point, often the 4th, 7th and 10th may as well. (but not always. I wont confuse the issue by getting into interceptions and the different kinds of house systems here).

Cardinal people are active, quick and ambitious initiators that like to speed by and get things going. They love to start things, and usually have a lot going on. No slackers, full of vim and vigor with drive, ambition enthusiasm and zest.

When you said you arrived somewhat ahead of schedule, it made me think you might have some of this cardinality going on in your chart ;)

SS,
I don't perceive your due date influencing your personality; it's your personality that influences your due date. if you've read some of what fey and I have been discussing, you'll get an idea of what I mean :p
