1 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: Welcome back to another episode of Astrology with Alice. I'm 2 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,000 your host, Alice Bell, and today we're talking about the 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:15,480 astrology of pregnancy because I am pregnant. Crazy to say, 4 00:00:15,759 --> 00:00:18,320 have been keeping this a secret for the past few months. 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,199 I found out I was pregnant in the middle of December, 6 00:00:21,839 --> 00:00:24,399 so I'm currently By the time this comes out, I 7 00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:27,000 guess I'll be like nineteen and a half weeks pregnant, 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,600 almost twenty weeks, so that is halfway through the pregnancy, 9 00:00:30,679 --> 00:00:33,799 and I feel like it's flying by. It wasn't the 10 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,719 case at first though, But yeah, I'm really excited to 11 00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:40,560 dive deeper into the astrology of pregnancy because it is 12 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,280 just so accurate, the timing of having something major like 13 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,920 this go on in your life, and also just kind 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,960 of understanding the different phases that occur throughout a pregnancy 15 00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:56,240 over the nine months. But yeah, I am having a 16 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:01,399 baby girl. She is due September one, so she's gonna 17 00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:05,400 be a virgo unless she comes early, still a chance 18 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,920 of being a Leo. But I'm super excited. And also 19 00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:14,480 September one is pretty close to a pisc's lunar eclipse, 20 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,480 which is on August twenty eighth, So there's also a 21 00:01:17,519 --> 00:01:20,799 chance she could be born on an eclipse. That would 22 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,760 be crazy, but we'll see what ends up happening there. 23 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,040 But yeah, in this episode, I want to go through 24 00:01:26,879 --> 00:01:30,840 everything about my pregnancy and also just give you information 25 00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:35,719 on what transits are usually taking place, like when someone 26 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,840 does get pregnant or when they have when they reach 27 00:01:38,879 --> 00:01:41,920 certain milestones throughout that pregnancy, and also when they give birth. 28 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,599 So the breakdown of this episode today, I've got a 29 00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:48,239 lot of notes here. First, want to talk about how 30 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,799 I got interested in this branch of astrology in general, 31 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,640 and then also I'll start off by talking about the 32 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,680 transits that pointed to why I wanted to have a 33 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,519 childled at this specific moment in time, So transits that 34 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,640 point to making a major life decision like that, and 35 00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:09,759 also going through a bigger identity shift because becoming a 36 00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:15,000 parent that shakes up your whole life, like you have 37 00:02:15,039 --> 00:02:20,759 different priorities, different mindsets about who you are. Sometimes career 38 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,800 interest shift in a bigger way as a result, So 39 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,400 we'll go over that first. Then I want to get 40 00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:29,120 more into the nitty gritty how I used astrology to 41 00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:33,879 time the conception and how accurate that ended up being. 42 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,039 And then also how helpful astrology has been throughout my pregnancy, 43 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,439 like looking at when I was the most sick and 44 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,599 nauseous in the first trimester and what were the transits 45 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,879 that spoke to that and how it lifted eventually. Also 46 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,400 other timing like spending a lot of money preparing for 47 00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:55,639 the baby, buying new clothes from eternity. Little things like 48 00:02:55,719 --> 00:02:58,199 that that you wouldn't think are super important, they show 49 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:03,520 up very strongly with astrological transits to your chart. Also 50 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,680 the timing of finding out the gender that was a 51 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,240 huge one. And then I will end by examining the 52 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:14,280 do date and what I predict the timing of when 53 00:03:14,319 --> 00:03:17,639 she'll be born might be. I will probably be wrong, 54 00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:20,960 because the universe loves to surprise me, is what I've 55 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:26,120 found out. Even though I'm an astrologer and I can 56 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,159 predict timing of things, I still I love getting surprised 57 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,919 and being proven wrong sometimes. Also, I have some fun 58 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,120 guests I am planning to bring on this podcast in 59 00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:41,280 the coming weeks coming months to talk about pregnancy further. 60 00:03:41,439 --> 00:03:44,159 So this is definitely not the only time we'll be 61 00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:48,240 talking about this, Like talking to other astrologer friends who 62 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,280 are pregnant. I'm also going to have on a spirit 63 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:56,439 baby psychic who also predicted the conception of this pregnancy, 64 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,400 so yeah, expect this is kind of like in this episode, 65 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:03,879 I'm talking about my personal experience and tidbits and transits 66 00:04:03,879 --> 00:04:07,360 to look for with pregnancy and over in the next 67 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,000 few days. In the next week or so, I'm going 68 00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:13,080 to be putting out a more detailed guide on the 69 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,600 astrology of pregnancy on substack for subscribers there, and also 70 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,839 I'll host a workshop that goes along with this topic too, 71 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,360 so that'll be super interesting for other people to share 72 00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:26,759 their unique experiences they've gone through with either trying to 73 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,000 conceive or being pregnant. I just think with this topic, 74 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,079 the more examples you have the better, because it's pregnancy 75 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,160 such a unique experience, like to person to person, so 76 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,560 like what I went through is not going to be 77 00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:46,199 what someone else goes through exactly. But yeah, let's talk 78 00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:48,839 about how I got interested in this topic because now 79 00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,360 I'm full blown obsessed with the astrology of pregnancy and 80 00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:54,839 I can't wait to talk about the astrology of motherhood, 81 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,000 parent child sinistry, developmental astrology, like as my child gets 82 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,639 older and goes through like toddler stages and into elementary 83 00:05:04,639 --> 00:05:06,639 school and middle school. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, 84 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:10,160 but it'll just be so cool to see someone like 85 00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:13,680 born and how their chart plays out from like the 86 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,680 minute they are born, and what transits, like how transits 87 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,399 play out to a child's chart because things like career 88 00:05:22,639 --> 00:05:26,600 that's not going to be relevant for a toddler. So yeah, 89 00:05:26,639 --> 00:05:30,319 I'm excited to learn as I go about this topic. Okay, 90 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,160 So I first got introduced to using astrology to time 91 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,839 pregnancy in May of twenty twenty two. I went to Norwalk, 92 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:45,040 the Northwest Astrology Conference in Seattle, and basically when you 93 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,079 go to these conferences, you get a brochure and you 94 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,000 can choose what workshops you want to go to over 95 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,160 a three day period, and that one just immediately grabbed 96 00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:59,199 my attention, so I signed up for that. Judith Hill 97 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:05,279 is an astrologer and she taught this workshop called Fertility Astrology, 98 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,600 and she gave a lot of good background info on 99 00:06:10,759 --> 00:06:15,759 using astrology as a framework two time pregnancy and also 100 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,160 maybe challenges you encounter throughout your pregnancy in different phases 101 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,720 it goes through. So that was really interesting. That was 102 00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:24,600 only like a forty five minute workshop. When I got 103 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,600 back home a few months later, I ended up taking 104 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,360 a second workshop by her. So that gave me like 105 00:06:29,399 --> 00:06:32,120 a framework to work with, like, Okay, where do I 106 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,439 actually need to look first? In the chart? Some things 107 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,199 I already knew, like the fifth house, super obvious that 108 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,959 relates to children in pregnancy, but she did give some 109 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,920 good insight on other parts of the chart to look at. 110 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:48,160 From there, I really took, like I guess, from there, 111 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,879 I set an intention that I wanted to learn more 112 00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:56,160 about this topic, and naturally, through giving readings at events 113 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,399 and through people who come to me for private readings, 114 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,199 I started to get more and more people asking about 115 00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:04,079 this topic of pregnancy, either when will I get pregnant 116 00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:07,439 or I'm already pregnant, wondering about their kids. Then I 117 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,680 would go back and ask when did you have your child? 118 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:15,160 So gained a lot of knowledge myself just through going 119 00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,000 about my day doing my job and collecting research from clients. 120 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,560 I was giving readings too, So I took what I 121 00:07:21,639 --> 00:07:24,480 learned in the workshop, took what resonated, left the rest. 122 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,560 That's usually when you're an astrologer. That's kind of how 123 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,240 it works. It's like you form your own opinions based 124 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,759 on what you do see resonating in your own practice 125 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:37,680 and what you don't, and then I built upon that 126 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,399 and I've discovered like other types of transits and other 127 00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:46,720 important things to look out astrologically when it comes to pregnancy. Also, 128 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,439 it's interesting like as I've naturally gotten older, the age 129 00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:52,600 of my clientele has grown up with me. Like I 130 00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,839 remember when I first started giving readings when I was 131 00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:58,279 twenty five. In the first couple of years of my practice, 132 00:07:58,279 --> 00:07:59,920 when I was still in my mid to late twenty 133 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,240 it was a lot about dating and relationships. And as 134 00:08:04,279 --> 00:08:09,399 I moved into my thirties I'm currently thirty three, people 135 00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:11,839 have just naturally, like their interests and what they come 136 00:08:11,879 --> 00:08:14,519 to me for readings have naturally shifted, like to where 137 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,319 I am getting a lot more people who are at 138 00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:18,519 this stage of their life where they want to learn 139 00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:20,560 more about this topic. So that's been very helpful too. 140 00:08:21,319 --> 00:08:23,680 But yeah, it's something I've wanted to speak on for 141 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,480 the last couple of years, but something inside of me 142 00:08:27,639 --> 00:08:31,879 told me, you need to wait until you experience this 143 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,879 yourself before you speak on it. And I'm really glad 144 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:39,200 I did because I feel like now looking back at 145 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:43,159 what I knew about pregnancy before getting pregnant, like I 146 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,440 obviously know so much more now, and there's so many 147 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,720 nuances to pregnancy and also hard things that come up 148 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,639 throughout pregnancy, and how you just don't feel like yourself 149 00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:57,600 when you're pregnant, like these emotional I guess, like the 150 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,480 emotional stuff, the anxiety that comes up with the pregnant 151 00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:02,840 I had no knowledge of that before it actually happened 152 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,080 to me, So now I could give this, I guess, 153 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,600 more nuanced interpretation of like how these transits are showing 154 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,480 up for people. And then just have to put this disclaimer. 155 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:15,080 I'm obviously not a doctor. I would trust a doctor's 156 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:21,279 advice over getting pregnant and starting that process over this podcast, 157 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,480 but I do want to show how astrology can be 158 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,799 so spot on with timing of conception, timing of phases, 159 00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:34,320 and pregnancy. My next steps with this and the research 160 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,919 I'm doing in this area has a lot to do 161 00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:41,240 with like the difficulties that come up during this phase, 162 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,879 so like people that encounter miscarriages or trouble conceiving, or 163 00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:50,039 are nauseous and vomiting their entire pregnancy like I already 164 00:09:50,039 --> 00:09:53,000 have a few chart examples all reference at some point 165 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,840 in this podcast and then also on sub stack for those, 166 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:01,159 but I would like to have more, just to show 167 00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:04,879 again like the varied experiences that we all go through. 168 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,759 So stay tuned for more information on the astrology of 169 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,519 pregnancy coming on substack in the next few days, article 170 00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:17,000 and workshop live workshop that I'll host and the replay 171 00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:20,799 will be sent out a few days afterwards. Also completely unrelated, 172 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,519 the next few weeks of this podcast, I am going 173 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,480 to put out a two part episode on Urinus transit stories, 174 00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:30,279 similar to the episodes I did in the past on 175 00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:34,320 Jupiter transit stories, a clip story Saturn transit stories. You 176 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,759 guys have loved those, and with Urinus now shifting into 177 00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:40,519 Jim and I fully on April twenty fifth, thought it 178 00:10:40,519 --> 00:10:42,919 would be a great time to do one on this planet. 179 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,840 So if you have a Urinus and Taurus story, like 180 00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:49,720 looking at the Taurus world house of your chart, what's 181 00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:52,080 been happening, what's been changing in that house for you 182 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,879 over the last eight years or so while Urinus has 183 00:10:54,879 --> 00:10:59,240 been in Taurus, please share that I'll read these anonymously 184 00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:04,080 on the podcast.

But yeah, I'm excited to read through. 188 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,279 And that's always just a helpful they're helpful episodes for 189 00:11:17,919 --> 00:11:20,600 understanding what you can expect with this, like longer outer 190 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,200 planet transit hitting a certain house of your chart. Okay, 191 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:28,480 so first I want to talk about bigger transits that 192 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,600 spoke to why I wanted to have a child when 193 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,200 I decided I wanted to Because for longer listeners of 194 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,879 this podcast, I put out an episode last year on 195 00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:43,679 the astrology of an identity shift, and I talked about 196 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,600 being very scared about making the decision to become a 197 00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:53,039 mother and how it felt like this scary shift and 198 00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,639 I wasn't sure if that was something I wanted to 199 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,159 do yet. This was the last May of twenty twenty five, 200 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,159 and I wasn't ready back then for contacts. I got 201 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,159 married in June of twenty twenty four, and I thought 202 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,000 I wanted to get pregnant right after getting married. I 203 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,759 thought it would be something that would happen in the 204 00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:16,000 fall of twenty twenty four. I talked about it all 205 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:19,879 the time I was researching obgins, talking to people about 206 00:12:19,919 --> 00:12:24,039 their experiences. But I noticed like the more I talked 207 00:12:24,039 --> 00:12:27,000 about it, the more anxious I would feel, like I 208 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,039 had like such bad insomnia this time, and I would notice, 209 00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:32,759 like if it was a day where I talked about 210 00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:36,600 wanting to get pregnant, I wouldn't sleep that night. And 211 00:12:36,639 --> 00:12:38,200 I think I was just putting a lot of pressure 212 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,320 on myself to do all of these major life events 213 00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:45,159 one after the other, like, oh, I got married, therefore 214 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,600 I have to have a child now, while at the 215 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:50,919 same time, me and my husband we were trying to 216 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,720 move homes. So actually, in September of twenty twenty four, 217 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,759 I started seeing a therapist, and through working with a therapist, 218 00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:02,240 I realized I needed to put less pressure on myself, 219 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,519 like we can do one thing at a time. Let's 220 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,679 not try to rush my life. And that helped give 221 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,200 me a lot of inner peace. I was like, Okay, 222 00:13:09,279 --> 00:13:12,320 let's revisit this topic in six months, Like let's revisit 223 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,919 maybe thinking about having kids in the spring of twenty 224 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,639 twenty five, so that comes along April May twenty twenty five, 225 00:13:20,799 --> 00:13:24,679 still not feeling it, like the talk about I remember, 226 00:13:24,759 --> 00:13:26,480 like my husband would bring up like, oh, do you 227 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,120 want to like go see the gynecologist? Do you want 228 00:13:29,159 --> 00:13:30,840 to like get this process started? And I just had 229 00:13:30,879 --> 00:13:34,440 no desire to do that. It wasn't a priority. So 230 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,080 kind of felt like not the time. Also, we had 231 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,960 so many weddings in twenty twenty five. We had seven weddings, 232 00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:46,480 majority of those were international. That would have been miserable 233 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,320 being pregnant at those weddings. And I also wanted to 234 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,519 get like a lot of travel out of my system. 235 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,919 I wanted to be so sick of traveling and doing 236 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,519 stuff that I would be content to stay at home 237 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:02,840 and rest and prioritize this new phase. I also really 238 00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:06,039 wanted to feel like it was the right time. I 239 00:14:06,039 --> 00:14:08,440 know people say like there's never a right time. I 240 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,440 didn't buy into that. Like, I wanted to feel very 241 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,759 confident in my decision to get pregnant and that I 242 00:14:15,879 --> 00:14:18,440 was ready to be in charge of another human being. 243 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,000 I also didn't want to regret doing this too soon. 244 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:22,759 I didn't want to have a child and be like, wait, 245 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,720 I didn't get to do all this stuff I wanted 246 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,679 to do. So that was why it was important. I 247 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:28,799 feel like a lot of twenty twenty five was spent 248 00:14:28,919 --> 00:14:33,120 restructuring elements of my business and also attending all of 249 00:14:33,159 --> 00:14:36,879 these weddings in traveling, and that had to come first 250 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,320 before I could then focus more on like taking care 251 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,320 of my body, resting all of that stuff that comes 252 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,080 with pregnancy. One other thing that started to become a 253 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,960 parent over the course of twenty twenty five was that 254 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,720 I was starting to feel done with one phase of 255 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,360 my life, Like it truly felt like the energy of 256 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,919 that I had in my twenties, like my interests had 257 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,320 evolved and I was no longer living that same life anymore. 258 00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:08,639 And I was ready to like close a door on 259 00:15:08,679 --> 00:15:11,679 that one chapter and enter into something new. And I 260 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,799 think why I had so much anxiety leading up to 261 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,159 do I get pregnant? Do I not? I wasn't ready 262 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,320 to leave that chapter of my life behind you, And 263 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,440 so I wanted to wait until I was ready to 264 00:15:22,519 --> 00:15:25,600 have this huge life shake up, because, as I was 265 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,879 saying earlier, like it's pretty obvious having a child will 266 00:15:28,879 --> 00:15:31,600 do that. And when you get pregnant and have birth, 267 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,200 what we're about to go into. The transits happening to 268 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,639 your chart are the same transits that point to just 269 00:15:38,679 --> 00:15:43,039 having an identity shift in general. So even if you 270 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,480 aren't having a baby and you had these same transits, 271 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,399 it would likely result in a bigger life change. So 272 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:55,720 that was the background on my mindset leading into getting pregnant. 273 00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:01,120 Around September twenty twenty five, at it was like two 274 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,720 days before the lunar eclipse and Pisces and I have 275 00:16:04,799 --> 00:16:06,799 my moon and Pisces, and as we'll talk about in 276 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,519 a second, the moon transits to the moon are so 277 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,919 important at the time of pregnancy, Like the moon is 278 00:16:11,919 --> 00:16:15,759 pretty much always activated when you're getting pregnant, when you're 279 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:20,759 when you're giving birth. And that eclipse hit my moon. 280 00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:22,879 It was only like three or four degrees away from 281 00:16:22,879 --> 00:16:25,360 my Pisce's moon. And at that time I had this 282 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,600 realization of like I want to make a doctor's appointment. 283 00:16:27,639 --> 00:16:30,360 I want to figure out what the next steps would 284 00:16:30,399 --> 00:16:33,399 be for going about pregnancy, Like what do I need 285 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,639 to know? How can I get resources for when I 286 00:16:37,679 --> 00:16:41,320 do get pregnant, what obgian to call? So I made 287 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,360 an appointment. It was so interesting. I made the appointment 288 00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,440 like literally like September fifth, I think in the next 289 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,960 availability they had at the gin at the Gino practice 290 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,039 I wanted to go to was for like October thirtieth, 291 00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:01,039 such a long wait. But what was so significant was 292 00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:05,440 on October thirtieth, Mercury would have moved into Sagittarius, my 293 00:17:05,519 --> 00:17:07,359 fifth house. Like that was the first day it was 294 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,680 in Sagittarius. So it was kind of crazy how it 295 00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:13,039 ended up, like, oh, I'm not even meant to start 296 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:17,759 this journey until the fifth house transits start taking hold 297 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,640 and getting like talking about them more, reflecting on it, 298 00:17:21,799 --> 00:17:28,119 planning for conception. That process all started around the end 299 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,319 of October going into November, as planets started shifting into Sagittarius, 300 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,640 my fifth house. So let's rewind for a second. I 301 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:37,880 want to go over the identity shift transits that are 302 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:42,319 often present at the time someone gets pregnant. These would 303 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,440 be I mean, eclipses are so telling. So where the 304 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,400 north and south nodes are transiting in a person's chart 305 00:17:48,559 --> 00:17:54,319 over an eighteen month period, when eclipses happened to your 306 00:17:54,559 --> 00:17:59,480 rising sign, which is your ascendant also your son or 307 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:05,319 the ruling planet of your rising, those really point to Okay, 308 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,319 the way this person thinks about themselves is going through 309 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:13,359 a huge change and mindsets might be different, future goals 310 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,319 might change in a bigger way, New interests are evolving. 311 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,799 So all of those themes are present when you get 312 00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:25,079 eclipses to those key parts of your chart, but they're 313 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,440 also present at the time of pregnancy because it's like 314 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,000 motherhood is naturally shifting your identity in a bigger way, 315 00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:33,960 and not only the way you view yourself, the way 316 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000 the world views you too, and especially looking at transits 317 00:18:38,039 --> 00:18:40,559 to the ascendant, which is always in the first house. 318 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,799 First house transits are a lot about the physical body 319 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,400 and health, and your body goes through this huge transformation 320 00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:50,200 during pregnancy. You gain a lot of weight, you feel 321 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,559 like you're in a completely different body. So first house 322 00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:57,279 transits are really key because it represents that shift in 323 00:18:57,319 --> 00:19:01,559 your literal appearance. So in my charge, Leo Rising, my 324 00:19:01,759 --> 00:19:04,799 chart ruler, which also happens to be my son, is 325 00:19:04,839 --> 00:19:08,759 an Aquarius. So knowing that the eclipses were starting up 326 00:19:08,799 --> 00:19:12,119 in Leo and Aquarius this year, I was like, something 327 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:16,359 bigger is bound to happen in twenty twenty six, headed 328 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,799 into twenty twenty seven and wrapping up in twenty twenty eight, 329 00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:23,559 because that's how long we'll have eclipses across Leo and Aquarius, 330 00:19:23,759 --> 00:19:26,440 so I saw that coming. Last time the eclipses were 331 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,279 in Leo and Aquarius was twenty seventeen to twenty nineteen, 332 00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:31,960 and that was when I discovered astrology. Like that was 333 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,240 a total change in how I thought about myself as 334 00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:36,960 a person. What I do for my career now was 335 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,799 a result of like those identity shifts that went on 336 00:19:39,799 --> 00:19:44,160 at Leo Aquarius eclipses. And not only are the eclipses 337 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,720 in Leo and Aquarius, but Jupiter is also moving into 338 00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:51,319 Leo June thirtieth of twenty twenty six, and that again 339 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:56,680 activating my ascendant, my first house. So I knew at 340 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,200 some point in twenty twenty six, most likely the second 341 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,200 half of the year, there was going to be a 342 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,000 bigger shake up to my sense of self and my 343 00:20:04,079 --> 00:20:07,799 life in general. Similar to how transits to the ascendant 344 00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:11,279 are often involved a time of pregnancy, transits to the 345 00:20:11,319 --> 00:20:14,400 mid heaven can also be very relevant too, because the 346 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,839 mid heaven not only represents career, but it also is 347 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,279 like your status in the world, like how do other 348 00:20:20,319 --> 00:20:22,440 people see you? How are you showing up? So when 349 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,039 you get a huge transit to the mid heaven. I'm 350 00:20:26,079 --> 00:20:31,480 thinking like the longer transits Jupiter eclipses, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, 351 00:20:32,519 --> 00:20:36,000 those really change like how you see yourself as a 352 00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:38,720 member of society, and like what your role in the 353 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,200 world is, so taking on greater responsibility, like going from 354 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,000 not being a parent to being a parent. Also, the 355 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,920 mid heaven falls opposite to the icy angle, and the 356 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,200 icy is about home and family, so any transits that 357 00:20:51,319 --> 00:20:55,440 affect the mid heaven naturally affect the icy so it 358 00:20:55,759 --> 00:20:59,400 also has this shift in home and family life going 359 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,680 on at the same time time. And this year, Pluto 360 00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:07,519 in Aquarius is exactly squaring my Taurus mid heaven and 361 00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:11,319 my Scorpio Icye. I have those at four degrees. That's 362 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,720 pretty much where Pluto is right now, and as at 363 00:21:14,759 --> 00:21:19,200 station's retrograd it'll returned to square those angles exactly. So 364 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,599 that was just showing a huge transformation in how I 365 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,920 view myself in the world, how other people see me, 366 00:21:25,079 --> 00:21:29,440 and also this huge change to my home life and 367 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,279 my family. And I will say I've already noticed how 368 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,640 pregnancy has changed the way I approach work. This second 369 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,799 I got pregnant, like things that just weren't energy suck 370 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:45,839 that weren't really serving me financially, like the British Vogue horoscopes. 371 00:21:47,079 --> 00:21:49,640 Those had to go immediately. Like I was sitting on 372 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,839 the fence on making a work decision like that, like 373 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:56,359 leaving that behind, and when pregnancy came into the picture, 374 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,079 I was like, this isn't making me more money to 375 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,559 support my child in the future, Like why would I 376 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,720 keep doing this? It's like not helping me in that 377 00:22:03,759 --> 00:22:07,359 way anymore. So I'm already kind of seeing the ripple 378 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,960 effect of how parenthood is shifting career in different ways. 379 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,759 I also want to call out Saturn transits specifically with 380 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,240 becoming a parent, because Saturn is a lot about taking 381 00:22:19,279 --> 00:22:24,200 on greater responsibility, stepping it up, feeling more stressed out. 382 00:22:24,319 --> 00:22:26,759 Like that's all stuff that comes with becoming a parent, 383 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,359 or even having an additional child and adding that new 384 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,039 family member. In Saturn is in aries right now, it's 385 00:22:35,079 --> 00:22:38,039 not a oh wait, yeah, sorry, I was gonna say, 386 00:22:38,039 --> 00:22:39,960 it's not affecting any inner planets in my chart because 387 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,880 I'm mainly focused on how Saturn is opposite to will 388 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:49,160 be opposite to my fifth house ruler Jupiter in Libra 389 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,400 at the time, like right around the time I would 390 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:55,480 give birth, So that's just showing greater responsibility to the 391 00:22:55,559 --> 00:23:00,279 topic of children. Also, I have Mars and cancer, and 392 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,319 as Saturn retrogrades later this year and comes back into 393 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,640 later areas, it will square exactly my Mars and cancer. 394 00:23:08,759 --> 00:23:11,200 And that's really important because Mars rules my fourth house 395 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,400 of home and family. So it's showing again like probably 396 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,440 greater stress introduced to my home because I will now 397 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,680 have a child to take care of. And also Mars 398 00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:25,960 is like energy health Saturn showing decrease and energy and 399 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,720 I've already felt that a lot. But yeah, I've seen 400 00:23:29,799 --> 00:23:33,640 like Saturn to the sun, Saturn to the moon around 401 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,519 the time people give birth, Like that's a super common 402 00:23:37,519 --> 00:23:40,759 transit because it's just you're having to step it up 403 00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:44,240 in a bigger way. You're becoming more mature and responsible 404 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,200 throughout this process. Now let's get into some pregnancy specific transits. 405 00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:55,359 So there's really I would say there's like three parts 406 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,160 of the chart that are pretty much always involved when 407 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,960 someone gets pregnant. And also it's important to look at 408 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,400 like transits for when you conceive and then also transits 409 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,279 for when you give birth. Like some of these might 410 00:24:08,319 --> 00:24:10,039 be going on at one and then some others are 411 00:24:10,079 --> 00:24:12,960 going on at the time of the other vice versa. 412 00:24:13,599 --> 00:24:18,160 But transits to your moon are so key with pregnancy. 413 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:22,519 Transits to your literal fifth house, transits to your fifth 414 00:24:22,559 --> 00:24:27,079 house ruler, and like I just mentioned, transits to your 415 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:31,920 ascendant or ascendant ruler or your son, because that's the 416 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,240 identity part of it. But going back to transits to 417 00:24:35,279 --> 00:24:38,799 the moon, the moon, it also has to do with 418 00:24:38,799 --> 00:24:42,839 like your physical body, your health, so seeing a change 419 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,160 happen there. The moon is literally like the maternal planet, 420 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:52,039 like becoming a mother, so seeing shifts and stubbing into 421 00:24:52,039 --> 00:24:54,759 that identity for yourself. And also the moon represents your 422 00:24:54,759 --> 00:24:58,400 home life, so again seeing changes happen to your home 423 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,359 in transits to the moon take place. So I mentioned 424 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,440 how I finally felt ready to start the pregnancy process, 425 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:11,119 like looking into it more actively trying to conceive once 426 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,240 I had a Pisce's lunar eclipse fall very close to 427 00:25:15,279 --> 00:25:17,839 my natal moon, and at the time I found out 428 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,680 I was pregnant, the north node in Pisces was on 429 00:25:21,799 --> 00:25:25,480 the exact degree of my Pisce's moon at eleven degrees. 430 00:25:25,559 --> 00:25:28,359 I think I even found out and like the conception 431 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,960 that was successful was when the north lord was at 432 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,519 like twelve and it moves backwards, so it was approaching 433 00:25:33,519 --> 00:25:37,839 eleven degrees, So that huge event. Out of the entire 434 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,720 time the north node has been in Pisce's my moon sign, 435 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,799 the biggest event of this transit happened when the north 436 00:25:43,839 --> 00:25:47,880 node reached that exact degree of my natal moon say 437 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,039 my Go. For people who have their moon and Virgo 438 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,039 like Pisce's Virgo moons, this is kind of a bigger 439 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,160 period right now where fertility is becoming a bigger deal, 440 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,960 or you're thinking more about that even if you're not 441 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:01,359 having kids, like maybe something going on with home or 442 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,039 family that feels very relevant at this time. The fifth 443 00:26:05,039 --> 00:26:08,200 house of the chart is the house that deals with 444 00:26:08,279 --> 00:26:14,400 pregnancy and children, so there's often timing activating that little house, 445 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,559 either at the time of conception or closer to giving birth, 446 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,200 or even like right after birth, because you're dealing more 447 00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:24,240 with like this new relationship you have with a child. 448 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:29,279 So looking to win major transits, especially Jupiter Saturn or 449 00:26:29,319 --> 00:26:32,160 the North and South nodes are moving through your fifth house, 450 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:36,119 that would be key if you don't have any of 451 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,279 those coming up and this is something a process you 452 00:26:39,319 --> 00:26:42,920 want to like start trying with. Also key to look 453 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,240 at where is the fifth house ruling planet, And for 454 00:26:46,279 --> 00:26:48,319 this I use traditional rulers. So if you have an 455 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,680 Aquarius fifth house, I would look at transits to your 456 00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:55,720 natal Saturn. If you have a Scorpio fifth house, would 457 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,519 look at transits to your natal Mars. If you have 458 00:26:58,559 --> 00:27:00,640 a Pissy's fifth house, would look at transit to your 459 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:05,920 natal Jupiter. I have a Sagittarius fifth house, so my 460 00:27:06,079 --> 00:27:10,119 ruling planet of the fifth is Jupiter, and Jupiter is 461 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,039 in Libra, my third house. So that's what I was 462 00:27:13,079 --> 00:27:17,640 saying when that transit Saturn now being in Arees will 463 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,400 come into an exact opposition with Jupiter in Libra, my 464 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,720 fifth house ruler at the time of the DO date, 465 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,880 So that's showing there's a change in topics pertaining to 466 00:27:31,559 --> 00:27:34,799 children and pregnancy. Also, this entire time I conceived and 467 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:39,839 have been pregnant, transit Jupiter is in Cancer squaring my 468 00:27:40,039 --> 00:27:43,720 natal Jupiter in Libra. So that's another big transit that's 469 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,000 also been affecting my fifth house ruler. So you don't 470 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,079 necessarily have to have actual transits in the fifth house, 471 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,839 but the fifth house ruler might be involved too if 472 00:27:55,839 --> 00:27:58,079 you don't have transits to the fifth And I'll go 473 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,160 into this further when we get into like timing of 474 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:04,000 exact conception. But when I found out I was pregnant, 475 00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:06,960 I had a stellium of planets moving through the fifth House. 476 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,759 So even though I didn't have major transits like Jupiter, Saturn, 477 00:28:09,839 --> 00:28:14,039 the North or South nodes happening there when I found 478 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,400 when I conceived, and also then when I found out 479 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,079 I was pregnant, it was a combination of Mars, Mercury, Sun, 480 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,960 and Moon and Venus all activating my fifth house, so 481 00:28:25,039 --> 00:28:28,640 like all of the inner planets moving through that during 482 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,440 that timeframe. So you can use all of these points 483 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:35,359 we've talked about all these major transits, like I said, 484 00:28:35,759 --> 00:28:37,960 to the time when you actually do get pregnant, and 485 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,680 then also the time when you give birth would be 486 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,000 important to note too. And I've only talked about transits 487 00:28:44,079 --> 00:28:48,839 up until now because as I say, like some with timing, 488 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,319 it always has to show up in the transit chart 489 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,240 first before I'll even like look at what's going on 490 00:28:55,039 --> 00:28:57,640 in a solar return chart or a lunar return chart. 491 00:28:58,319 --> 00:29:00,319 But I did look at my solar return sh arts 492 00:29:00,319 --> 00:29:04,000 on top of this, and they were very telling of like, okay, 493 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,160 pregnancy is likely to happen. I remember looking at my 494 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,480 one for January of twenty twenty seven, and usually I 495 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:18,160 noticed the solar return chart for the next year, like 496 00:29:18,319 --> 00:29:22,160 goes into effect a few months before your actual next birthday. 497 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,759 So my birthday when I turned thirty four, that'll be 498 00:29:25,839 --> 00:29:28,880 January twenty twenty seven. In that chart, I have like 499 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,720 the Sun, North Node, Mercury, and Pluto all in the 500 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,519 Fifth House, showing that twenty twenty seven is a fifth 501 00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:40,920 House heavy year, huge involvement with children. Even if it 502 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,000 took a while for me to get pregnant, I was 503 00:29:44,119 --> 00:29:48,359 reassured by that solar return that by early twenty twenty seven, 504 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,000 at the time the solar return chart went into effect, 505 00:29:51,799 --> 00:29:54,640 there would likely be a pregnancy going on or I 506 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,079 would have a child by that point. I ended up 507 00:29:57,079 --> 00:30:01,200 getting pregnant in December twenty twenty five, a month before 508 00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,480 my January twenty twenty sixth birthday. And that solar return 509 00:30:04,599 --> 00:30:09,319 chart has the Moon on the mid heaven, and that 510 00:30:09,519 --> 00:30:12,799 is another key indicator in a solar return chart. In 511 00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:16,279 addition to fifth house planets, when you have the moon 512 00:30:16,279 --> 00:30:18,920 on the ascendant or the mid heaven, that often speaks 513 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,759 to pregnancy or change in how you view yourself in 514 00:30:22,799 --> 00:30:26,279 the world, a change in your body, your appearance. The 515 00:30:26,319 --> 00:30:29,079 moon on the mid heaven just shows like I'm being 516 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,319 seen as more of a maternal figure, and this topic 517 00:30:33,359 --> 00:30:38,200 of motherhood is influencing my career and also like how 518 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,599 I don't know, just like thinking about when my baby 519 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,039 is born, Like how am I going to show up 520 00:30:45,079 --> 00:30:47,400 to work differently? How much time do I take off 521 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,960 of work because I run my own business, Like these 522 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,759 are all questions that I've been thinking about super intensely 523 00:30:53,599 --> 00:30:57,519 since that solar return chart started in January twenty twenty six. 524 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,960 And then one other thing I added in, like lunaric 525 00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:03,920 turn charts, just to like that gives me more micro timing. 526 00:31:04,359 --> 00:31:07,720 It wasn't super obvious the lunar return chart for when 527 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,480 I actually found out I was pregnant, But one thing 528 00:31:10,559 --> 00:31:13,279 I did notice is I as I got further with 529 00:31:13,359 --> 00:31:18,440 the lunar returns in twenty twenty six, I noticed around 530 00:31:18,559 --> 00:31:24,799 September twenty twenty six that it became very stressful, Like 531 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,880 every month from September on in twenty twenty six. It 532 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,640 looks very stressful, looks like health is a focus, looks 533 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,759 like I'm just trying to get through the day. It 534 00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:39,160 was like a total vibe shift right around that time, 535 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:44,519 and the lunar return right before that. I think it's 536 00:31:44,559 --> 00:31:48,720 August twenty eighth. Is that lunar return chart start date. 537 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,000 I have a lunar eclipse in that lunar return and 538 00:31:52,039 --> 00:31:53,759 the moon is in the fifth house of that chart, 539 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,000 so that's literally just a few days before my actual 540 00:31:57,079 --> 00:32:00,839 due date. And then once we get into September in 541 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:05,160 those lunar return and lunar opposition charts, it looks kind 542 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,680 of like I'm sleep deprived and I'm dealing with a lot. 543 00:32:08,839 --> 00:32:12,400 So that was another telling like when I was like, oh, 544 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:17,519 is this cycle gonna work to conceive on that it 545 00:32:17,559 --> 00:32:21,519 would likely play out in that time frame. Now, let's 546 00:32:21,559 --> 00:32:25,079 switch gears of it and talk about the astrological timing 547 00:32:25,119 --> 00:32:27,920 of conception, because that's when it gets more nitty gritty, 548 00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,960 like down to an exact date where you're kind of 549 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,440 having to look at the astrology transits and how they 550 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,519 line up with your natural ovulation. Because you can, like 551 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,240 the timing for getting pregnant, you have to be ovulating 552 00:32:41,599 --> 00:32:44,960 pretty much unless you have some kind of surprise. But 553 00:32:45,079 --> 00:32:46,920 for me, it was very like I had to keep 554 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,799 track of the exact date like I had ovulation strips. 555 00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:53,039 I was seen when there was a surge in hormones, 556 00:32:54,079 --> 00:32:58,480 and that exact date had to line up with supportive astrology, 557 00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:01,880 or the supportive astrology to line up with that ovulation date. 558 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,720 I was very fortunate I got pregnant on the second 559 00:33:05,839 --> 00:33:09,480 month of trying. I realized that's not the case for 560 00:33:09,519 --> 00:33:13,920 a lot of people, and I recognized that, and I'm 561 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:19,720 so grateful that it didn't take longer because that process 562 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,359 of trying to conceive, even though I only went through 563 00:33:22,359 --> 00:33:26,160 it for two months, it is it was so anxious, 564 00:33:26,559 --> 00:33:30,039 like that two week wait between when you actually try 565 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,519 and then when you find out you're pregnant. Like I 566 00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:34,640 was not mentally well, but at the same time, I 567 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,680 didn't really start trying until I saw that there was 568 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,599 astrology to back it up and that it would it 569 00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,039 would be more likely to be successful at that time. 570 00:33:44,359 --> 00:33:47,119 And also when I started trying, it naturally lined up 571 00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:51,920 with my life stuff switching up too. Like I mentioned, 572 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:53,839 I had all these weddings in twenty twenty five. The 573 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,799 last wedding was early October. I ended up getting food 574 00:33:57,839 --> 00:34:01,200 poisoning at that wedding, so trying to conceive like a 575 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,480 week later, like in mid October, was off the table, 576 00:34:04,559 --> 00:34:07,240 like I felt too weak, My body was just messed 577 00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:11,800 up from that. So first month November I was going 578 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,840 to start trying in November. Also, I know, like people 579 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:20,239 really fixate on what specific zodiac sign they want their 580 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,039 child to have. I didn't really go into that with 581 00:34:23,119 --> 00:34:25,960 that mindset. I was more focused on, like do I 582 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,079 want to have a baby that has Jupiter in Cancer, 583 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,119 which is my twelfth house, or do I want my 584 00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:34,000 child to have Jupiter in Leo, which is my first house. 585 00:34:34,039 --> 00:34:37,079 And I ultimately decided I think Jupiter and Leo would 586 00:34:37,119 --> 00:34:40,280 just be more of a fun match for my chart 587 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,880 because Leo rising, my husband also has Jupiter and Leo, 588 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,480 so it would be his Jupiter return. So that really 589 00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,639 set me out like, Okay, Jupiter doesn't move into Leo 590 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:55,599 until June thirtieth of twenty twenty six, so it needs 591 00:34:55,639 --> 00:34:58,360 to be like the Jude needs to be after June thirtieth. 592 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,599 So that rolled out a lot of the first half 593 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,719 of twenty twenty five even trying, so the inner planets 594 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,679 transiting my fifth house were the most relevant thing going 595 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:14,360 on when I conceived. Also, I found it helpful to 596 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,440 look at the annual perfection ruler and what it was 597 00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,840 doing around that time. So Mars was my ruling planet 598 00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:24,800 of my last annual perfection year in twenty twenty five. 599 00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,719 So I knew that when Mars reached Sagittarius, which I 600 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:33,199 believe it went in at the start of November and 601 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:37,079 it was there until mid December. Mars being like the 602 00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:40,559 most important planet to track for that annual perfection year, 603 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,400 I knew once it entered Sagittary is my fifth house, 604 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,920 that action was likely to be taken and I would 605 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:52,159 see results with Fifth House topics like pregnancy. So the 606 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:58,079 first time of ovulation after Mars entered the fifth house 607 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,719 was that early November time frame. I think it was 608 00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,039 like first week of November was the first time I 609 00:36:05,039 --> 00:36:08,159 tried to get pregnant. At that same time, mercury retrograde 610 00:36:08,199 --> 00:36:11,039 was starting up in Sagittarius, my fifth house, so I 611 00:36:11,079 --> 00:36:14,199 was like, Uh, may not be the outcome I want 612 00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,440 because we have a mercury retrograde in the Fifth House, 613 00:36:16,519 --> 00:36:20,880 throwing some confusion and maybe delays with this process, but 614 00:36:21,039 --> 00:36:23,239 let's still try and see if it works. Like that 615 00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,400 would be so fun if I had a leo. It 616 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,679 didn't work that time. At the end of November, found 617 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,920 out I wasn't pregnant. Was pretty sad about it, like 618 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,960 I didn't expect to be that upset, but I felt 619 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,840 like I had already gotten very attached to this process 620 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,320 and it was a very anxious time with that mercury 621 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:47,039 retrograde in the Fifth House. So next month rolls around, 622 00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:51,039 We're now in early December. My ovulation for early December 623 00:36:51,079 --> 00:36:54,320 I think was like December seventh or December eighth, so 624 00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:57,760 was planning around that point. Mercury retrograde was over. By 625 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,440 that time, Mars was still in the Fifth House, so 626 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,920 again having the annual perfection ruler in a good position 627 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,599 involving pregnancy. Also, it was now Sagittarius season, so the 628 00:37:09,639 --> 00:37:13,039 sun was in the Fifth House. I think Venus was 629 00:37:13,079 --> 00:37:16,320 also there too, so a lot of there's a fifth 630 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,360 House stellium going on. And I truly believe on the 631 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,559 day I actually conceived it was all of those planets 632 00:37:22,559 --> 00:37:25,320 in the Fifth House and the moon was in Leo 633 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:30,800 on my ascendant, trying all of the Sagittarius fifth house stuff. 634 00:37:31,079 --> 00:37:32,960 I truly believe that was the exact day because I 635 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:38,320 remember the ovulation strips like that being the highest surge 636 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:42,199 day of like okay, it's go time. So that was 637 00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:46,119 the second time trying December eighth, also the days surrounding it, 638 00:37:46,159 --> 00:37:48,519 because I would never pin it to like an exact date, 639 00:37:48,599 --> 00:37:51,159 even though I know the astrology. It's still like try 640 00:37:51,199 --> 00:37:54,239 as much as you can in one cycle because you 641 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,960 never know what will stick, like if you're ovulating, do 642 00:37:57,039 --> 00:38:00,679 everything in that window and see when it ends up 643 00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:05,280 being So fast forward exactly a week after December eighth, 644 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:08,199 now we're at December fifteenth. This was still too early 645 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:11,360 to find out if that try had been successful, Like 646 00:38:12,039 --> 00:38:15,559 I would have needed to wait until like December twentieth 647 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,960 for my next period to either come or not. I 648 00:38:19,039 --> 00:38:22,000 have a very short cycle, like it's only twenty five 649 00:38:22,119 --> 00:38:24,599 twenty six days, so I think I would have found 650 00:38:24,639 --> 00:38:27,199 out a little bit earlier than other people maybe with 651 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,159 a thirty day cycle would have found out that they're pregnant. 652 00:38:30,199 --> 00:38:33,079 But what was interesting was right on December fifteenth, this 653 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,960 was when Mars remember it's my annual perfection ruler, so 654 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:39,400 it's transit is so key. Throughout twenty twenty five, Mars 655 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:43,639 had moved into Capricorn, my six house. Week after ovulation, 656 00:38:44,159 --> 00:38:48,119 I start to notice the first pregnancy symptoms with the 657 00:38:48,159 --> 00:38:52,880 six house now activated in that way, I started gagging 658 00:38:53,199 --> 00:38:56,920 at random stuff I opened the kitchen cabinet, started gagging, 659 00:38:58,639 --> 00:39:01,280 started to feel like a little note. It wasn't anything major, 660 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,360 but it was just like, h like, why do I 661 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:07,880 randomly feel nauseous? I also came down with like a fever, 662 00:39:08,639 --> 00:39:12,159 which was crazy because I think when you get pregnant, 663 00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,000 your immune system is like immediately weekended. So I just 664 00:39:16,039 --> 00:39:20,239 got sick like immediately and had like a fever. I 665 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:24,360 hit a cough and not so intense nausea but still 666 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,039 present nausea, and then the gagging stuff going on from 667 00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:31,440 December fifteenth onwards. The days following that, I was like 668 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,719 gaslighting myself. I was like, there's no way at work 669 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,440 to like, this is only the second month of trying. 670 00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:41,360 How could it be successful? I guess, And just like 671 00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,760 it wasn't successful last month, why would it be now? 672 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,119 I don't know. I just like had a very negative mindset, 673 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:50,760 and I was very anxious for those several days. And 674 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,840 then I woke up on the morning of Friday, December nineteenth, 675 00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,360 and my sister had texted me and she was like, hey, like, 676 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,280 if you have a fever, like you need to find 677 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,239 out if you're pregnant or not, because that could be 678 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:06,360 dangerous to a baby developing if you have like a 679 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:10,760 fever this early on in pregnancy, which I'm not sure 680 00:40:11,039 --> 00:40:13,239 I never checked with a doctor on that if that 681 00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,639 was the case, because the fever went away. But I 682 00:40:16,639 --> 00:40:19,679 woke up on December nineteenth, the moon was in Sagittarius. 683 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,480 It was a new moon and Sagittarius in my fifth house. 684 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:27,440 That day. I had been nervous about a negative test 685 00:40:27,559 --> 00:40:30,880 result because the sun in my fifth house was squaring 686 00:40:31,559 --> 00:40:34,639 Saturn and Neptune in my ninth in my eighth house, 687 00:40:35,119 --> 00:40:38,119 so it's like the sun looks like it's making a 688 00:40:38,199 --> 00:40:40,599 very harsh aspect of Saturn Neptune. That kind of looks 689 00:40:40,599 --> 00:40:42,559 like I might be very stressed out or not getting 690 00:40:42,599 --> 00:40:46,159 the news I wanted. But I remember I woke up 691 00:40:46,199 --> 00:40:50,079 the moon was exactly conjunct Venus in Sagittarius my fifth house, 692 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,719 and I got a positive pregnancy test on Friday, December nineteenth, 693 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,519 so this was three weeks, three days into the pregnancy. 694 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:02,320 I was shot, Like that was one of the craziest 695 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,960 moments in my life, Like seeing that positive test so 696 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:09,599 so emotional, just like was at a loss for words, 697 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,159 and it was just very literal that that happened on 698 00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,559 like the actual day of a fifth House new moon. 699 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,679 So yeah, the timing of conception both tries, even though 700 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:24,639 the first one wasn't successful, still fifth House activity mercury 701 00:41:24,679 --> 00:41:28,079 retrograde really messed things up a bit, But it was 702 00:41:28,119 --> 00:41:30,440 fine because I also found with that first time trying 703 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,159 to conceive, a lot of it was figuring out what 704 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,159 didn't didn't work and knowing, like going into the second time, 705 00:41:36,199 --> 00:41:38,199 it was like, Okay, now I should try to track 706 00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,800 it more closely, the ovulation. I should buy a thermometer. 707 00:41:42,599 --> 00:41:45,880 Like we just need to be a bit more serious 708 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,480 in the planning of this, Like it's not something that 709 00:41:48,599 --> 00:41:50,840 just happened super easily, because I feel like we're sold 710 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,679 this story growing up that you could get pregnant no 711 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:58,679 matter what, like if you're sexually active, when actually, for 712 00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,559 a lot of people, like it is hard and you 713 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:05,519 have to look at these dates very specifically for when 714 00:42:05,559 --> 00:42:08,760 your body's doing it then. So now I'm actually pregnant 715 00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:13,559 and want to get into the timing of morning sickness, 716 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:17,719 discomfort with my body, just all that stuff that comes 717 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:21,000 with being pregnant over the nine months. And I know 718 00:42:21,039 --> 00:42:23,000 I still have halfway to go, so I'm sure I'll 719 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,320 give updates closer to the end of pregnancy with how 720 00:42:26,559 --> 00:42:30,039 the end of second trimester and third trimester ended up 721 00:42:30,079 --> 00:42:33,920 playing out. But I want to talk about this like 722 00:42:34,039 --> 00:42:38,159 morning sickness, because it's not just I put that in quotations, 723 00:42:38,199 --> 00:42:40,360 because it is not just the morning. I was sick 724 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:45,800 all day for weeks on end. This really emphasizes how 725 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,599 important health transits are to your chart at the time 726 00:42:49,599 --> 00:42:53,119 of pregnancy. So in addition to those other transits I 727 00:42:53,159 --> 00:42:56,760 talked about at the start, like fifth house Moon ascendant, 728 00:42:57,239 --> 00:43:01,559 you also want to note like especially looking at the 729 00:43:01,599 --> 00:43:04,840 first trimester, because that's usually when people are at the 730 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:08,639 their sickest as they adjust to being pregnant. The six 731 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:13,840 and the twelfth houses being activated by transits, so sometimes 732 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,440 this can be a longer transit, like Jupiter going through 733 00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:18,679 the six or twelve. I've had Jupiter in the twelfth, 734 00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,440 for instance, and that has spoken a lot to how 735 00:43:23,039 --> 00:43:25,480 health has just been a bigger deal. A lot of 736 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,400 times I'll see people with Saturn in the six or 737 00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:30,480 twelve and they're pregnant, or the north and South nodes 738 00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:34,920 transiting the six and twelve, just because your body takes 739 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,159 a massive hit being pregnant, whether that's being very nauseous 740 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:43,079 or dealing with acid reflux or just not being able 741 00:43:43,159 --> 00:43:45,320 to move your body when you get in that late 742 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,840 stage of pregnancy and everything feels very uncomfortable. And then 743 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:53,320 that doesn't even get into postpartum and how difficult that is, 744 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:58,119 like having your body heal from giving birth and maybe 745 00:43:58,159 --> 00:44:02,320 dealing with like hormone in balances after that, and basically 746 00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,880 the list goes on and on, and health is such 747 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,119 a big deal when you're pregnant. I have found through 748 00:44:08,159 --> 00:44:10,480 talking to people and looking at charts and seeing like 749 00:44:10,519 --> 00:44:13,519 who got sick versus who didn't get that sick and 750 00:44:13,559 --> 00:44:17,280 had like a relatively easy pregnancy. The more six and 751 00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:19,880 twelve house transits, especially like when you have the longer 752 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,920 ones going on during pregnancy, the more likely it is 753 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:27,119 you're gonna be dealing with the health stuff a bit 754 00:44:27,159 --> 00:44:31,119 more so. For instance, I know someone who has had 755 00:44:31,159 --> 00:44:35,480 two children. Her first pregnancy was in twenty twenty three. 756 00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:39,280 She's a Sagittarius rising, so at that time, the north 757 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,840 and south nodes were in Taurus and Scorpio her six 758 00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,960 and twelve houses, and Jupiter at the end of the 759 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,119 pregnancy reached her six house, so there's a lot of 760 00:44:48,159 --> 00:44:51,719 six house. And she ended up getting just stational diabetes 761 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,719 with that pregnancy and was just sick the entire time, 762 00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:58,639 Like she said, her nausea never went away. And then 763 00:44:58,639 --> 00:45:00,800 I asked, like, oh, how did your se second pregnancy 764 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:02,880 go in comparison to that, And that was when the 765 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,199 nodes had shifted into her fifth and eleventh houses, and 766 00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,480 Jupiter was in the seventh house no longer in the 767 00:45:08,559 --> 00:45:10,559 sixth and she said that one was so much easier, 768 00:45:10,639 --> 00:45:13,480 like the sickness was nowhere near the same level. I 769 00:45:13,519 --> 00:45:16,840 don't think she had gestational diabetes with that one, So 770 00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,920 it's just in comparison, a much easier pregnancy. So if 771 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,679 you end up having more than one child, can be 772 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:27,519 interesting to track how did one pregnancy go versus the other, 773 00:45:27,639 --> 00:45:29,800 and like what was the difference in the astrology at 774 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,519 those two and as I mentioned, I've had Jupiter in 775 00:45:32,519 --> 00:45:36,800 the twelfth house since last summer, and even before I 776 00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,159 got pregnant, I was getting sick more frequently. But I 777 00:45:40,199 --> 00:45:43,159 will say sickness in the pregnancy was at its most 778 00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:48,239 intense when a stellium of inner planets like Venus, Mars, Sun, 779 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,960 Mercury all moved into Capricorn at the end of December 780 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,639 twenty twenty five into January twenty twenty six and opposed 781 00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:59,679 the Jupiter in Cancer my twelfth house. It just made 782 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,800 that transit a lot more intense. And I also feel 783 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,400 like Jupiter amplified the six house transits, making like illness 784 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:09,960 and health just feel overwhelming at that time. And I 785 00:46:10,039 --> 00:46:13,800 did feel very isolated for about like two months when 786 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,840 all of those transits were going on in the aftermath 787 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,199 of them, because I was just so sick, Like the 788 00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,199 only person I saw for two months was my husband. 789 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,159 Couldn't really do anything. But yeah, let me back up 790 00:46:27,159 --> 00:46:30,639 a little bit, So I went into how the second 791 00:46:30,679 --> 00:46:34,760 Mars enter my six house on December fifteenth, That's when 792 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,400 I first started to notice those initial pregnancy symptoms, and 793 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,519 then they just intensified, Like Mars was the first planet 794 00:46:41,559 --> 00:46:45,840 to enter Capricorn in December, followed shortly by the Sun 795 00:46:46,559 --> 00:46:49,840 than Venus, then Mercury. So by the time we got 796 00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,519 to like the first week of January twenty twenty six, 797 00:46:53,039 --> 00:46:55,920 there was a stellium of planets in my six house, 798 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,000 and with each one that went in, the symptoms got 799 00:46:59,039 --> 00:47:02,079 worse and worse and worse, so like when it was 800 00:47:02,159 --> 00:47:05,880 all four of those in there at once, like that 801 00:47:06,039 --> 00:47:11,519 was the worst point of the first trimester nausea and vomiting. 802 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,320 I was waking up every single day nauseous, nauseous twenty 803 00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:18,840 four to seven and never went away. Luckily I wasn't 804 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:22,400 throwing up every single day, but it was a frequent occurrence. 805 00:47:23,639 --> 00:47:27,639 And what sucks is when you have that first trimester nausea, 806 00:47:28,159 --> 00:47:30,880 you can throw up, but you're still nauseous, Like it 807 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,519 doesn't give you any relief. It messes with your mind, 808 00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,639 just waking up every single day and being so sick. 809 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:41,280 And I cannot believe people have to show up for 810 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,960 corporate jobs like I had it easy jobs in healthcare, 811 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,559 like where you're on your feet helping people all day. 812 00:47:49,119 --> 00:47:52,960 Like I work for myself. I can like be flexible 813 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,280 about my schedule. I can move things around based on 814 00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:59,079 how I'm feeling, so I was so fortunate to have that, 815 00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,440 and even that was a struggle. So I just like 816 00:48:03,119 --> 00:48:06,280 hats go off to everyone that it shows up at 817 00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,719 like a nine to five type job and has to 818 00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:12,360 be like in an office or somewhere where they're working 819 00:48:12,519 --> 00:48:15,840 all day. Like, it's crazy the sickness that can come 820 00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:19,920 up with first trimester. So yeah, the symptoms were definitely 821 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,599 the worst when there was like that kazimi. It was 822 00:48:23,639 --> 00:48:29,280 the sun Mars Venus kazimi around like early to mid January. 823 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:32,320 That was in my six house. That was kind of 824 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,119 the peak. I think that was week Week six is 825 00:48:35,159 --> 00:48:38,000 really when the nausea like amped up. Week seven it 826 00:48:38,079 --> 00:48:43,440 was super bad. It stayed pretty bad up until like 827 00:48:43,519 --> 00:48:47,559 week eleven. But I would say even like week eight, 828 00:48:47,599 --> 00:48:50,960 week nine, week ten, it was like every week got 829 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,519 a little bit easier, except during week ten, I caught 830 00:48:53,639 --> 00:48:57,119 someone's kid had a stomach virus. I caught that while 831 00:48:57,159 --> 00:49:00,639 also dealing with first trimester sickness. So week ten I 832 00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:04,599 was knocked out once again. I couldn't leave the bed 833 00:49:04,679 --> 00:49:06,840 for a couple of days. So yeah, Jupiter in the 834 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:10,039 twelfth house really did its thing, forced to slow down, 835 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:15,360 couldn't work as much, felt isolated. I will say though, 836 00:49:16,159 --> 00:49:18,119 now that that sickness is over, and even during the 837 00:49:18,159 --> 00:49:20,800 midst of that sickness, Jupiter in the twelfth has been 838 00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,159 a great transit for my mental health. Like I don't 839 00:49:24,159 --> 00:49:26,800 know if it's the pregnancy hormones or something else, if 840 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,880 it's just Jupiter there. I felt like this is the 841 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:35,039 calmest and least anxious I've ever been in my entire life. 842 00:49:35,079 --> 00:49:38,440 Like I fall asleep easily, I don't worry about little 843 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:42,719 things as much anymore. I'm just like, overall my state 844 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,119 of mental health is like a lot more calm, which 845 00:49:46,159 --> 00:49:48,000 is nice. And I do think I owe that to 846 00:49:48,119 --> 00:49:51,119 Jupiter just being a more positive planet in this sign 847 00:49:51,199 --> 00:49:54,639 of its exaltation in the twelfth house, which is associated 848 00:49:54,679 --> 00:49:57,480 with mental health. Also, there was a new moon in 849 00:49:57,519 --> 00:49:59,840 Capricorn my six house, that didn't occur until the end 850 00:50:00,119 --> 00:50:05,840 of Capricorn season January eighteenth. So just when I thought, oh, great, 851 00:50:06,039 --> 00:50:08,559 Capricorn seasons finally ending, these planets are about to leave 852 00:50:08,599 --> 00:50:10,880 my Sex house, I'm going to start to feel better. No, 853 00:50:11,119 --> 00:50:14,199 we get a new moon there, reinvigorates that part of 854 00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:16,480 the chart. For the next month. So it really wasn't 855 00:50:16,599 --> 00:50:20,920 until I got an entirely new lunation that had nothing 856 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,159 to do with health, and that part of my chart 857 00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:27,559 that was the solar eclipse and Aquarius on February seventeenth. 858 00:50:28,519 --> 00:50:33,119 That eclipse, like I would say, like from there on out, 859 00:50:33,159 --> 00:50:35,199 that was the major turning point where like I could 860 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:40,840 eat dinner again, I could eat a variety of different foods, 861 00:50:41,159 --> 00:50:44,719 I would say, like nearing the second trimester, a lot 862 00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,400 of the sickness started to wear off, and March has 863 00:50:47,519 --> 00:50:51,280 just been like a great like upward trajectory, like just 864 00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:54,599 how felt better week by week by week. So yeah, 865 00:50:54,639 --> 00:50:59,199 the illness really did go hand in hand with the 866 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:03,159 six house Transit's twelve house full moon followed by a 867 00:51:03,199 --> 00:51:06,079 six house new moon that was like the peak intensity 868 00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:13,039 of first trimester nausea. And another interesting tidbit, after the 869 00:51:13,079 --> 00:51:17,039 Aquarius solar eclipse, planets started to move into my eighth house, Pisces, 870 00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,519 and then we were building up to a lunar eclipse 871 00:51:20,559 --> 00:51:23,280 in Virgo at the start of March, which was my 872 00:51:23,360 --> 00:51:26,280 second house. So both of these houses are really related 873 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:30,239 to finances, and interestingly enough, that was when I started 874 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,920 to outgrow all of my clothes and I had to 875 00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:37,159 like panic buy a whole new wardrobe. So I was 876 00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:41,159 like intensely researching, like where can I get clothes that 877 00:51:41,159 --> 00:51:43,800 aren't super expensive but are so cute. I'm going to 878 00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,000 do a whole video on dressing for pregnancy because it's 879 00:51:46,039 --> 00:51:49,239 been it's been fun. It's tested my creativity in a 880 00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,360 fun way. But it just showed like that time of 881 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,639 spending money and how it lined up with pregnancy was 882 00:51:54,639 --> 00:51:57,400 like that was when I had to buy all of 883 00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,360 these new clothes because my body started to change. So 884 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,760 you could even see I don't know you could time 885 00:52:02,800 --> 00:52:04,920 it like that, like if you're pregnant when you might 886 00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:06,880 need to buy new clothes, or also like when you 887 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:11,159 may want to start buying stuff for the nursery. I 888 00:52:11,159 --> 00:52:13,320 would also say eighth houses like stuff given to you, 889 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,280 so that might be like people buying you stuff off 890 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,639 your registry. It's fun, like even with the minor stuff 891 00:52:18,639 --> 00:52:21,800 with pregnancy, it's still showing up in the transits to 892 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:25,159 your chart. What are some other milestones I wanted to 893 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:30,599 talk about that were really obvious with astrology. Oh yeah, 894 00:52:30,599 --> 00:52:32,880 on the day of the solar eclipse and Aquarius and 895 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,559 I'm an Aquarius sun, so this was a big deal 896 00:52:35,559 --> 00:52:37,719 for my chart, like an eclipse in my son's sign. 897 00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:41,039 I found out the gender of the baby, that she's 898 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:46,199 a girl, and that was interesting because the test to 899 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,039 like the blood draw to figure out the gender and 900 00:52:49,079 --> 00:52:53,159 all that stuff was actually pushed back a week because, 901 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:56,039 like I mentioned, I got I got the stomach virus 902 00:52:56,079 --> 00:52:58,719 from someone's child, so I couldn't show up to get 903 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:03,360 blood drawn because I was so weak from contracting that 904 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:08,320 virus on top of already being sick that the testing 905 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,880 and then finding out the results got pushed back like 906 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:15,960 a week to ten days. So that was really interesting 907 00:53:16,039 --> 00:53:19,039 because it ended up lining up with the solar clips, 908 00:53:19,039 --> 00:53:20,599 like I feel like it was meant to be pushed 909 00:53:20,639 --> 00:53:25,280 back all along. And then also like there's various ultrasounds 910 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:28,000 you have throughout pregnancy, and I'm always looking at what 911 00:53:28,039 --> 00:53:32,199 are the transits for these different doctor's appointments and alter sounds, 912 00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,920 and will I be anxious at these, Like how are 913 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:37,440 the transits to my chart? How am I going to 914 00:53:37,519 --> 00:53:40,480 feel after these appointments? For the most part, like they've 915 00:53:40,519 --> 00:53:42,960 been very positive. The astrology, how it lines up with 916 00:53:43,159 --> 00:53:47,159 these days and it's also just interesting how fifth house 917 00:53:47,239 --> 00:53:51,760 fifth house ruler ascendant even activated at the time of 918 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:56,719 these appointments throughout pregnancy. So I remember the first major 919 00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,639 ult sound we had was at twelve weeks of pregnancy, 920 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:04,679 and that was the like nukele ultrasound to check like 921 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:07,880 I guess the spine but I don't know, just to 922 00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:12,719 like track the baby. And at the exact moment I 923 00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,599 went in to the ultrasound appointment, the moon was an 924 00:54:16,639 --> 00:54:21,119 aries to the degree opposite to my Jupiter, my fifth 925 00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:24,000 house ruler, so it was like my emotions were tied 926 00:54:24,039 --> 00:54:28,239 to something involving the fifth House at that moment. My 927 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:32,840 next major ultrasound is literally tomorrow, April tenth. That's the 928 00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:36,559 anatomy scan. That's like a huge, like really long ultrasound, 929 00:54:37,519 --> 00:54:40,679 just to check like is everything okay with the body 930 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:45,400 and is the baby developing correctly? And that has come 931 00:54:45,559 --> 00:54:49,800 right after this full moon in Libra, which has activated 932 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,199 my fifth house ruler Jupiter and Libra like to the degree. Basically, 933 00:54:54,639 --> 00:55:00,000 I also announced the pregnancy and made it public news 934 00:55:00,159 --> 00:55:02,960 the time of a full moon at the time of 935 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,639 this past full moon and Libra to my fifth house ruler, 936 00:55:06,039 --> 00:55:08,159 so like this full moon activation to the fifth house 937 00:55:08,199 --> 00:55:10,840 ruler has been a big deal. I'm curious to see 938 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,360 what the full moon and Sagittarius in a couple of 939 00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,960 months to my actual fifth house, if there's something important 940 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,000 that happens around that time too. I think that maybe 941 00:55:20,159 --> 00:55:25,119 time to the middle of May. I need to check 942 00:55:25,159 --> 00:55:27,960 the date on that full moon and saj But I 943 00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,480 know my next major appointment is like May fifteenth, and 944 00:55:31,519 --> 00:55:34,920 that is the glucose test where it's checking if I 945 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:38,239 would have gestational diabetes or not. And I think that's 946 00:55:38,599 --> 00:55:42,679 right in the lead up, no is it? No? I 947 00:55:42,679 --> 00:55:45,199 think that's closer to new moon and Taurus, but it 948 00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:48,199 is getting close to the full moon and my fifth 949 00:55:48,199 --> 00:55:50,320 house Sagittarius. So I'll keep you guys posted if anything 950 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:54,599 significant happens with fifth house and ascendant stuff. I'm having 951 00:55:55,079 --> 00:55:57,840 my baby shower when the sun moves into my first 952 00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,920 house and meets up with Jupiter and Leo there. So 953 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:05,119 it's very literal like the I don't know, getting different 954 00:56:05,119 --> 00:56:08,320 attention for the pregnancy, seeing developments happen in the pregnancy 955 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:12,480 and dealing with these various like emotions and physical stuff 956 00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,760 that comes up. I'll give an update about like how 957 00:56:15,159 --> 00:56:17,880 third trimester goes, but I do expect it to be 958 00:56:18,559 --> 00:56:21,320 difficult because I'm gonna have a lot of twelfth house 959 00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:25,599 transits closer to the end of the pregnancy cancer season. 960 00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,039 There's a mercury retrograde in my twelfth house. I know 961 00:56:29,119 --> 00:56:31,719 I'll be like slowing down a lot and just be 962 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,280 super low energy once we get into like July August, 963 00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,239 and then looking at the astrology of the actual due date, 964 00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:42,079 which is September one moons and Taurus. I mean, it's 965 00:56:42,159 --> 00:56:44,800 very rare for a child to be born on their 966 00:56:45,199 --> 00:56:48,239 actual due date. I mean, it's not impossible, but it 967 00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:49,639 would be kind of crazy if she was born on 968 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,039 literally September first. I'm just putting it out there now. 969 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,440 I could be wrong. I think the birth is going 970 00:56:56,519 --> 00:56:59,519 to be between August twenty fifth and August twenty eighth, 971 00:56:59,559 --> 00:57:03,840 when the moon is an Aquarius or Pisces, just because 972 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:06,360 a lot of planets in my chart are there. Also, 973 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,599 it would affect my husband's chart in a big way, 974 00:57:08,679 --> 00:57:11,920 like his fourth house's Pisces. That's where his icy angle is. 975 00:57:13,679 --> 00:57:17,920 He also has Saturn in Aquarius, Jupiter and Leo Jupiter 976 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:21,760 rules has Sagittarius rising, so like anything with like Aquarius 977 00:57:21,800 --> 00:57:25,519 Pisz's Leo, like that stuff is a big deal for 978 00:57:25,639 --> 00:57:31,079 both of our charts, and I could see I want 979 00:57:31,119 --> 00:57:33,760 to go further into like parent child sinistry at a 980 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,639 later date, but like I could see just the connection 981 00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,119 being lined up in that way. But yeah, who knows. 982 00:57:39,199 --> 00:57:42,519 I think what I've learned the most of pregnancy expect 983 00:57:42,559 --> 00:57:46,280 the unexpected. I will say though, knowing the astrology to 984 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,920 my chart has helped a lot with like not getting 985 00:57:49,039 --> 00:57:55,800 anxious about miscarriage and just like staying calm because I 986 00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:59,360 just have that reassurance of like, Okay, it looks likely 987 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,280 that I am given birth. So it's helped a lot 988 00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:07,039 in that way. I'm also just looking at the due 989 00:58:07,079 --> 00:58:10,000 day astrology, the bigger transit's going on. I set a 990 00:58:10,039 --> 00:58:12,880 few of these at the start, but like Jupiter's and Leo, 991 00:58:13,519 --> 00:58:17,280 it will be at the degree of my ascendant on 992 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:19,840 the do date and in the few days that lead 993 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:23,079 up to that. Also, a Piscey's lunar eclipse will just 994 00:58:23,119 --> 00:58:26,119 have occurred a solar eclipse in Leo, so it's like 995 00:58:26,119 --> 00:58:28,880 I get a solar eclipse on my ascendant followed by 996 00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,880 a lunar eclipse in my moon sign. Wanted to point 997 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:35,480 that out, like just again going back to like the 998 00:58:35,559 --> 00:58:40,639 astrology of these bigger life events is not random. There 999 00:58:40,679 --> 00:58:45,000 will be huge pointers in a transit chart showing that, 1000 00:58:45,079 --> 00:58:47,800 like this is a big time for you, whether that 1001 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:53,039 is giving birth, or getting married, or moving homes or 1002 00:58:53,159 --> 00:58:56,360 changing careers or something else that just feels more significant 1003 00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,159 for you. It's cool to think about how the transits 1004 00:58:59,199 --> 00:59:02,320 to my chart on the day I give birth will 1005 00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,239 be my child's birth chart. So like the energy I 1006 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:11,519 feel myself at that time is like representative in my 1007 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:17,519 dynamic with her. I'm just so it's so fascinating, like 1008 00:59:17,639 --> 00:59:19,800 I could do. I need to do a whole course 1009 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,000 on this, to be honest, but I'm excited to talk 1010 00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,800 about it more over the coming months and after she's born, 1011 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:30,519 like the coming years, like astrology being a mom. Yeah, 1012 00:59:30,559 --> 00:59:33,760 everything I talked about at the start. So thank you 1013 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,760 guys for listening. This is we're all in things.
