There are many couples that would like to have children but for some reason, it does not happen. How do we see about pregnancy in the natal chart? The first thing would be to study the position and aspects of the Moon. This video contains is just an example chart, of the moment in which I decided to make an astrological video about pregnancy.

The Moon is on 8 Libra, while Mars is on 3 Leo and there is nice sextile aspect between them. Sextile is the aspect of ease, works in small groups, is analogous to the third house and the sign of Gemini. The difference of 5 degrees is analogous to the sign of Leo and the 5th house, which is about children, so if this were the chart of a woman asking about pregnancy in the natal chart, she would be bound to have at least one child throughout her life.

The other thing to watch about pregnancy in the natal chart is the 5th house. Here, the 5th house is extremely strong, with the Sun and Venus in it. The Sun in the 5th house makes “having children” the main theme of this chart, while Venus is both the ruler of the fifth house and is in the sign through which it rules it, the sign of Taurus. So this is a chart about pregnancy, and very much so!

It would be better if the planets in the fifth house had more favourable aspects. Here, there is just trine between Venus and Jupiter and the trine between the Sun and Jupiter from Capricorn.

The fifth house always means the first pregnancy or conception, and is very important when trying to conceive in general. In this chart, there is a square aspect between the Sun and Neptune, which is a very unfortunate aspect. The first pregnancy could go on for some time without being noticed or diagnosed, and there could be a forced abortion because the woman would be taking medicaments without being aware of being pregnant at the time.

The second pregnancy is denoted by the 7th house, the third pregnancy is denoted by the 9th house and so on. For a woman with this horoscope, we would say that the first and the third pregnancy would be feasible, while the empty 7th house would denote that the fate of the second pregnancy would be defined by the planets that her husband would bring into that part of her horoscope, through synastry.

For women with a history of infertility or with a diagnosed marital infertility, we would also study the solar return chart and the secondary progression chart. The 8th house denotes the actual course of the first pregnancy, the 10th house is the course of the second pregnancy and so on.

Those that have no children ask when can they get them, while those that already have children ask how not to get them, essentially.

In the wider scheme of things, you should know that spending money with me will not automatically bring about the pregnancy. It is what the stars say, not what I or you would like to happen now. So spending money with me is not a magic silver bullet, but can point to the periods in which it is better to try to conceive than not. The net result is that after listening to my marital infertility delineation you will know where to direct your energies. Say, the best period to get pregnant with this partner is four years from now… so stop trying to get pregnant fast and go do something entirely else with your life. You will get pregnant when you can, not before and not after.

The best case is when the male partner changes the destiny of the female partner, so that from a total failure she becomes a proud mother of one or more children. The worst case is when your male partner leaves you because it is clear that you are not going to be pregnant any time soon, with him or without him around. (It is also possible to tell in advance whethet will he really leave you or not, and if he will, when will that happen.)

A very small percentage of cases is that of you are fertile on your own, but not as a couple. That too can be seen from the charts.

Yes, I have had many such questions in my astrological career and there are couples that did what I told them (or, better, what the “stars” told them through me) and they have gotten pregnant very fast. There are cases in which there was a pregnancy but never a child, which most often happens when Jupiter transits the sign of the natal Moon (that happens every 12.5 years.)

The best situation for you is the one such “golden” transit is just ahead of you, say, within a year or two. In that case, everything else should be dropped aside and you and your partner should concentrate on “making a baby” when that period is starting out. Both of you should be in optimal reproductive health when Jupiter comes along, so leave old habits and ways behind and prepare yourself for a real life lying ahead — being a parent, the most important mission any man or woman on this planet could be exposed to.

Most women come to me only after it is too late, when they are 42, 49 or, in one case, even 51 years old. Do not let it happen to you, there is not need, at least not today with all those computers, astrological software and Internet that is tieing us all together.
