An Aries Asks, "Will I ever have children?"

Dear Astro Auntie:

Q:I was born at 10:45 am In Kaplan, Louisiana March 23rd 1982...I Hope this can help you to see if i will ever have children or not...Thank you

A: The Moon (natural planet of motherhood + fertility) is very strongly placed in your chart. It’s in the super fertile sign of Pisces and right on the Midheaven – one of the best places in the whole chart. This shows good levels of inherent fertility, as well as strong possibilities to manifest your dreams around mothering.

Looking further into your chart, we see the sign of Libra on the fifth house cusp. The fifth house is the baby zone in the chart. Libra is an air sign and not considered very fertile. This may indicate some delays. Venus, as the planet that rules Libra, is also in an air sign. So don’t rush – you have time on your side.

Blending these two factors together, we can see that generally the desire for children/to be a mother is a very strong, natural one for you, but that there may be some delays on the road to becoming a mother. This often means babies in the 30s rather than 20’s.

Between 27 ½ and 28, everyone experiences a ‘progressed moon return’ which tends to activate natural desires around mothering/children. This is one time in your life where the desire to be a mom is stronger than ever. Enjoy it – but understand you don’t have to do it right now. You will have many chances in the future.

With your progressed Sun having just moved into the fertile earth sign of Taurus, you have just begun a 30 year phase of increased fertility. Looking at your upcoming cycles, you have generally good cycles for fertility and conception between now and February 2011 (with a peak through March and April 2010) and then again from March 2013 – April 2015. There are other opportunities beyond that too, but we’ll stick to the near future for now.

You are still relatively young, with many good years of potential baby making times ahead of you. First up – solidify relationships so that you have the support you need from a partner when you are ready to have babies.
