Academy for Astrological Medicine

Every now and again, a class participant throws me a ‘curve ball’ question. Answering post-lecture questions feels like a rousing game of ping pong - it’s challenging to anticipate from what angle a question might arrive! I enjoy this process, finding it sharpening to the insight. Sometimes an attendee stumps me though, as occurred during last week’s subscriber Q&A. In my entire career, I’d never heard this question asked before, not once. She asked: “What in the chart might indicate your mother’s womb?” (Presumably, when you were inside it).

Natal charts are typically seen as representing the current life, moving forward…but not necessarily conceived in reverse, as in what occurred in the gestational months before birth. This ‘prenatal’ period would include your watery home at the time, inside your mother’s uterus. Would, or even could, this experience, be shown in your natal chart? What a thought-provoking query!
