This birth chart report shows the positions of the planets for Miss Peculiar.
The Sun represents vitality, a sense of individuality and outward-shining creative energy.
Sun in Aquarius
One of the standout characteristics of those born under the Sun Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track. With advancement and progress on their minds, there can be an irreverence to old and outdated ways of thinking and doing things. Many Aquarians aim to free themselves of personal and social conditioning. Although open to change in theory, Aquarians can be surprisingly stubborn. Their idealism runs strong, but they can be very fixed in their opinions.
Often a bit aloof and even standoffish, Aquarians nonetheless are usually well-liked. They are curious and observant, and tolerant in a broad sense. Prejudice and bias is offensive to the typical Aquarius. Aquarians are generally very clever, witty, and intellectual. They value progress and frankness. It’s difficult to throw Aquarians for a loop–they’re generally on top of things. There is a bit of reformer in Aquarius. They’ll try to get you to see through superficiality, and encourage you to be open and forthright. “Be true to yourself” and “Don’t follow the crowd” are mottos we easily associate with this sign. Aquarians need space and value personal freedom. Any attempt to box them in will likely fail. They’ll happily return the favor; and they will treat people from all walks of life as equals. Equality and fairness are hallmarks of the sign. If you’re quirky and “different”, all the better.
Short description: She is independent, autonomous, and has progressive ideas.
Weaknesses: an unusual, rebellious and revolutionary spirit.
Sun in VIII
You have a great urge to go farther or deeper into life every step of the way. You want to experience more, and your desires are both powerful and intense. It is hard for you to find satisfaction in common experiences, and you have magnetic power if you choose to use it wisely. You are fascinated with what lies under the surface, and at some point in your life, self-improvement is a big interest. You are attracted to unexplored or taboo areas of life, and you avoid all things superficial. Financial problems may ease after marriage.
393 Conjunction Sun - Venus
Social relationships are extremely important to you. You are generally charming with an easy-going manner. It is generally quite important to you that you are personally popular, to come across in a pleasant way, and to be liked and appreciated. Sometimes, vanity is part of the package. Venus is a peace-making, harmony-loving planet, and those with Sun conjunct Venus do their best to seek peace and harmony. You are diplomatic and a veritable expert at smoothing over (and sometimes glossing over) problems. You are openhanded with others, tolerant and accepting. When expressed negatively, you can be superficial and two-faced, and you can be very much tied up with appearances–your own, and sometimes others’. You might be too agreeable, too pleasant (at the expense of honesty), and downright lazy at times. You have a fine eye for style and enjoy pleasing surroundings. You generally dress well and enjoy a certain amount of luxury. You are gracious, romantic, and sometimes romantically impulsive. You tend to rely on the power of attraction to bring people to you, rather than aggressively pursuing love interests. There is some vanity involved here–you are most attracted to people who express interest in you, or who respond well to your charms! You are not the type of person who overtly pursues people who appear to be indifferent to you. You are not competitive in the aggressive sense of the word, and you are not someone who loves a good chase. Instead, you work your charms and draw people to you. Your ability to attract others (Venus) is very much tied up with your ego (Sun). Because Venus rules all things feminine, both sexes with this aspect tend to be quite attractive.
119 Conjunction Sun - Mars
You are enterprising and have powerful stores of energy that you can draw upon when needed. You respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. You are naturally competitive, and this trait is generally well-received by others simply because it is unforced, unaffected, and sincere. You truly believe in fair play, and you seem to be in love with life. When you are expressing competitiveness and courage, it’s easy for others to smile and accept these traits as positive ones rather than being rubbed the wrong way. You have good physical vitality. Although competitive, you are not naturally combative. You may enjoy sports or games that are competitive, but not violent. Breaking the rules of a competitive game is particularly upsetting to you. You are more able than most to control your desires, aggressions, and instincts. You know how to be fair, and you expect others to be fair. As such, sneaky behaviors, uncontrolled impulses, violence, and rage are offensive to you.
The Moon represents the emotional responses, unconscious pre-destination, and the self-image.
Moon in Gemini
Lunar Geminis are usually pleasant, witty, and charming people. At home and with family, however, they can be moody and irritable at times. People with Moon in Gemini are always interesting people–they have a finger in every pie, are curious to a fault, and are generally well-informed. Nervousness and worry are common traits with this lunar position. An underlying restlessness is common, and many Lunar Geminis need more stimulation than others. They usually read a lot, talk a lot, and think a lot with this airy, mutable position of the Moon.
Their homes are often a perpetual work-in-progress. They generally dislike housework, but are big on home improvement. Re-organizing their homes in little–and sometimes big–ways seems to keep them happy, as Lunar Geminis are easily bored by both routine and constancy. Often, this is a reflection of their inner world–“the grass is always greener…” applies here. Inwardly, Lunar Geminis are often unsettled. Moon in Gemini parents are generally more adept at handling the intellectual needs of their children than emotional ones. Others’ complicated emotions, in general, can be difficult for Lunar Geminis to handle. In their families, Lunar Geminis often take on the role of organizing get-togethers. They are at their best when they have plenty of things to do beyond routine. Moon in Gemini people almost always have a way with words. They are clever and witty, and more often than not can be found chatting with others. They are sociable and friendly, and feel comfortable in crowds. Some pay too much attention to what everyone else is doing, and lose touch with what they really want to do. Generally, Lunar Geminis have a million and one projects going. They are impressionable folk, and their imagination is boundless.
Their openness to new ideas is admirable, although decisiveness and persistence take a blow as a result. Still, versatility and adaptability are some of the stronger traits of this position of the Moon. When irritable, these people can easily become snappy. Their moodiness is complicated–this is not the same kind of moodiness you’ll find with water sign moons, for example. Usually, difficult behavior stems from inner restlessness. Lunar Geminis want to do it all, and have trouble sticking to any one project. When problems arise, the first instinct of Moon in Gemini natives is to talk things out. Their tendency to analyze can give them the appearance of emotional detachment. In fact, Lunar Geminis may be especially comfortable talking about their feelings, but feeling their own feelings doesn’t come as easily. Those that don’t take time out to really emote and understand their own needs may end up baffling others. Feeling misunderstood is common for Moon in Gemini natives. The only real solution to the problem is learning to get in touch with their own feelings.
Short description: Sharp intellect. She likes literature, adapts to all situations and social groups. Work in contact with the public, literary occupations, travel.
Weaknesses: lack of follow-up of ideas, indecision, goes back on decisions.
Moon in XII
Curious and inquisitive nature, although more of an observer than a person who asks many questions. She likes peace and quiet, being alone.
This position of the Moon indicates an emotional attachment and sensitivity to all that is ethereal, groundless, and eternal. As sensitive as you are, you often have delayed reactions to your own emotional experiences. You need frequent moments of solitude in order to recharge yourself emotionally, and this need, while strong, can also lead to feelings of isolation and of being misunderstood. While you are a perceptive person, you are often either flooded with emotions that are hard to define, or completely out of touch with what you are feeling. Either extreme keeps you from truly discovering your emotional needs. Negative expressions of this position are avoidance of responsibility, using hypersensitivity as an excuse to oneself (and perhaps to others) for not participating, or emotional immaturity. You are sympathetic to others’ suffering, but not always emotionally available to help.
30 Trine Moon - Mercury
You can be quite expressive and animated in your speech. You have an outstanding memory and tend to pick up a lot of information from your environment. You love to chat and to exchange ideas. Even if you are shy, once you’re friends, you love to talk about pretty much anything under the sun, and you enjoy sharing stories from your past! For the most part, you are focused on day-to-day activities in your communications rather than on grander philosophies. You are naturally curious and interested, and others find you very easy to talk to. You are accommodating and curious, but you are not as well equipped to handle heavy emotional demands. You thrive on change and variety. You might be a little addicted to gossip! More probably, however, you are simply very curious about others. There is a twinkle in your eyes, and you are never short on humor. You are playful and versatile–you make a fun companion and an interesting friend. You listen! Yes, you do talk and occasionally interrupt in your excitement, but you are a curious person who does want to hear what others have to say, and that is a real pleasure. In fact, you are more able than most people to get others talking, simply because you are very receptive and sympathetic. You pick up others’ feelings and body language readily.
63 Trine Moon - Saturn
She controls her feelings. She has a sense of duty, of self-esteem and is prudent. She can concentrate on a long-term task, manual or intellectual. She perseveres and is serious in everything she does.
Mercury represents communication, Cartesian and logical spirit.
Mercury in Aquarius
Not necessarily loud or flamboyant, but she often has a quiet way of stirring others up. Delights in exposing what she deems biases in others’ way of thinking. Very quick to contradict others, and to offer a different perspective, she enjoys intellectual debates. Amazing powers of observation, and a quirky way of looking at the world. Humorous and interesting. Loves practical jokes and raising eyebrows.
Mercury in VIII
She can be tormented at night. She likes research, investigations, inquiries. Studies well.
She is fascinated with all that is unexplored, mysterious, taboo, secret, and psychological. Loves research and has a great mind. She wants to know the motivation behind what people do. May have a good mind for financial strategies.
You speak with authority and others listen, having strong persuasive powers which should be used carefully. You tend to feel that everything we do and experience has a purpose. You have a great, investigative, and penetrating mind and you are excellent at developing strategies, as well as communicating them with others.
-29 Square Mercury - Jupiter
She is frivolous and imprudent. She lacks judgement, and is full of self-importance. She has difficulty in realizing her plans, because she lacks clarity and rates her qualities higher than they are.
Venus represents an interest for emotions and values, exchange and sharing with others.
Venus in Aquarius
Venus in Aquarius people try to impress you with their open-minded, future-thinking spirit. They want you to see them as unique, rebellious, and a little provocative. They are attractive when they are acting a little aloof. They want you to acknowledge and appreciate that they don’t follow the beaten track in matters of the heart. Venus in Aquarius men and women are attracted to unusual or unconventional relationships. They don’t want to follow all the rules, although they may make quite a few of their own. They can appear quite standoffish at times, and are threatened by restrictions of any kind. Emotional types may be put off by their detached manner in love. Venus in Aquarius wants you to love them for their intellect, and to admire their visions. They value lovers who are also good friends, and they avoid emotional displays or confrontations like the plague. Venus in Aquarius will delight in shocking you with their unusual ways and their forward-looking thinking.
Pleasing Venus in Aquarius involves letting them know just how interesting they are. Put up with their occasional need to act superior on an intellectual level – they are very proud of their unique ideas and visions. Dream along with them, and don’t fence them in. They need space and will happily return the favor, giving you lots of room to breathe and to be yourself.
Venus in VIII
Not frightened by the unknown, death. She has a peaceful and happy end. Natural and late death. Possible inheritance.
Intensity is what you seek in your love relationships, so that casual encounters are not necessarily your game. You are easily bored with mechanical interactions between partners, and might prefer drama in your relationships to anything mundane or superficial. However, you also fear being vulnerable in love, and, in youth, you may control your emotions in love. Fears of being betrayed may be at the heart of your somewhat jealous and possessive nature in love. When you give yourself over to love, you love wholeheartedly and expect all-consuming, total devotion and attention in return. You find passion a healing force in your life. Your charm runs deep–just below the surface. You are attracted to all that is taboo, hidden, forbidden, and find beauty in the broken, disenchanted, obsessed, and passionate. In some cases, people with this position might make a business out of love, romance, and eroticism. There is an intensity about you that others pick up readily. Either they run or they are completely intrigued!
80 Conjunction Venus - Mars
She is amorous, not a peaceful and calm lover but a passionate one with a strong temperament. She is demonstrative in love, and likes healthy pleasures. She enjoys life to the full.
Mars represents the desire for action and physical energy.
Mars in Capricorn
With fiery Mars in the more orderly sign of Capricorn, natives with this position have a subdued and controlled style of approaching life. Most don’t come across as particularly enthusiastic; rather, theirs is a low-key but determined energy. Mars in Capricorn natives like to be on top of things. They are generally goal-oriented and focused people who are not afraid of hard work. Most are achievers by nature, and many possess well-defined ambitions–well-defined to themselves more than anything. They’re not particularly flashy people, but their drive to succeed and to make their lives secure is strong, even if it’s not right out there for the world to see. Anger is expressed in a rather cool, level-headed way with this position of Mars. Self-control is strong when it comes to expressing anger, drive, energy, and sexuality. Capricorn is a sign that detests waste of any kind. It also fears disorderliness and “letting go”. With Mars in Capricorn, there is generally a powerful need to stay in control.
This is not to say that natives of this position are cold in any sense of the word. Their desires are strong, but they are often centered around the physical and material world–all that can be seen and held. With Mars in an Earth sign, sensuality is expressed in an earthy way. However, unlike Mars in Taurus, for example, (another earth sign), Mars in Capricorn is not self-indulgent by nature. These people are usually quite disciplined. Capricorn possesses the ability to plan for the future–something that many other signs have difficulty doing. Mars in Capricorn natives are working toward realistic and attainable goals. They are productive people who get off when they see tangible results from their efforts. Many natives with this position are a little hard on themselves, and sometimes others. They usually can be relied upon because they have an innate sense of responsibility to both themselves and to those they care about. Most of them are very hard-working, and one of their strategies for anger management is to throw themselves even more energetically into their work!

Financially not very well off, average salary. The spouse is also not rich. Possibility of a small inheritance, which helps a lot. Long life and natural death, if the aspects allow.
-80 Square Saturn - Pluto
She is not open to others’ ideas, especially if they are free-thinking. She is an egoist and has a narrow mind.
Uranus in Capricorn
A great battler. She has so much power, that one thinks nothing can defeat her. Her mission in society, in the world means everything to her.
Uranus in VII
Her independence does not tolerate traditional marriage very well. If she does marry, she has little chance of finishing her days with the spouse, unless the partner gives her complete freedom.

House I is the area of self identity. The ascendant is a symbol of how one acts in life. It is the image of the personality as seen by others, and the attitude that one has towards life.
Ascendant in Cancer
These people come across as gentle creatures. There’s something familiar about them – they’re the guy or gal next door. When they enter a room, they don’t walk in with a splash. Instead, they move to the sides and weave their way inwards. These people have a familiar feel to them. Because they are rather sensitive to their environment, they can get flustered easily, especially in public. Their first instinct, when threatened or on unfamiliar ground, is to protect themselves. When new situations present themselves, they can immediately withdraw or act shy. Generally, these people come across as caring people. They seem quite sweet – even innocent. Usually, these people appear unassuming enough to be quite approachable. Some Cancer Ascendants, however, have retreated into themselves so much as to be quite the opposite.
Since Capricorn is on the Descendant, Cancer Ascendant people are looking for structure and security in their partner and their relationship. These people function best when their partner displays strength, financial and emotional stability, and know-how. In fact, many Cancer Ascendants prefer it when their relationship has well-defined rules. Security is the basic need, and they are generally more than willing to give up some personal freedom in order to get it. In some cases, Cancer Ascendant people can surprise their partners. Why? Because they come across as rather unassuming, family-oriented people. When it comes to marriage, they have a rather matter-of-fact, practical approach.
House II is the area of material security and values. It rules money and personal finances, sense of self-worth and basic values, personal possessions.
House II in Leo
Financial success will be very easy thanks to the support of influential people. Tendency to spend more than what is earned. Financial progress is slow but steady. Generous with loved ones and children. Sign and house placement of the Sun may show money-making channels.
House III is the area of social and intellectual learning.
House III in Virgo
She pulls everything to pieces, analyzes, criticizes. Over-thinking and over-analyzing is probable. A busy early environment. She is proactive, tends to details and takes care of things in an efficient manner. Doesn’t take on anything without examining the pros and the cons. She is very careful, sometimes to a manic extent, taking everything into account even to the slightest detail.
House IV is the area of home, family, roots, and deep emotions/sense of self-worth.
House IV in Libra
The simple life, the small home isn’t for her. If the job doesn’t pay well or she doesn’t marry well financially speaking, she will probably be unhappy. Likes luxury goods to make life comfortable, going out, cocktail parties. Goes round only with refined people, perhaps sometimes a little too affected, and with good jobs.
House V is the area of creative self-expression, romance, entertainment, children, and gambling.
House V in Scorpio
Gets blinded by and drunk with love: everything revolves around her love. Her passions are angry, exclusive and domestic quarrels are in prospect as a result. Fertile love life.

All the leadership qualities are there: authority, energy, initiative, leadership, lots of gung-ho and of course intelligence.

Dear Thiago, It was around this time a year ago they were wheeling me into the operating room, sleepless and clad in a nightgown and red fluffy slippers. While your Daddy and Ninang Tin waited nervously in the hall, and Papalo waited in the hospital room, watching ANC as usual. That tv would be set to ANC the entire day as Papalo watched over us..and the entire Senate hearing on the Pork Barrel Scandal...
We waited for four hours in pre-admission for the surgery. They called my name out three times and it was for different reasons other than actual surgery. I was anxious. The anticipation was overwhelming. When they finally called me in for the surgery, I was almost shaking.
I had to wear a hospital gown, circulation stockings, and disposable paper-like underwear - which they tore off anyway prior to surgery. Nothing else. Bijay wore scrubs and a nice red hair net. I'll never forget being wheeled through the halls of the hospital on a bed just like in the movies; the nurses and attendants all going about their day and talking to each other about their own lives as though it were business as usual. But not for me. They wheeled me in to the waiting area which was just outside the doors leading directly to the operating theatre. Sounds of another woman's twins being removed from her womb one at a time could be heard. Each time a twin was removed and I heard it scream I started to cry. Each time a doctor started to talk me through what they were going to do I started to cry. Finally, they took me into the OR.
The doctors, anaesthetists, and nurses were all women. They instructed me to sit on the edge of my bed and lean forward, slightly curving my spine. The needles of local anaesthetic jolted up my spine and it felt so painful, so unnerving. It felt warm as they injected the spinal block into me. It felt so wrong. I was scared out of my wits but Bijay was not allowed to enter the OR until they finished prepping me.
Lying me down, they lifted me from the bed to the operating table. Shaved me, washed the entire area that was to be sliced, and I said goodbye to my pregnant belly as they put up a tent around the whole area so I could not see anything - not even a reflection in the lights (they covered that, too). Bijay joined me.
I started shaking and crying. I knew it was go time. I felt them cutting into my skin but there was no pain. I felt them doing all sorts of weird things there but all the while I kept my eyes locked onto Bijay with tears streaming down my face. He's never been so supportive, so reassuring, so loving, as he was in the OR.
"We can see some feet", said the doctor. My eyes widened. I couldn't believe it.
"Yes, you've definitely got a boy!" the doctor exclaimed thirty seconds later.
"You've just given birth to your baby!" came a minute later. It was that quick!
They quickly brought you over to me - still covered in gunk - so that I could see you right after you were born which was at 12:37PM on Tuesday the 29th of January, 2013. I never felt so strange in my entire life.
They cleaned you up and the nurse brought you over to us. As we waited for the nurse to put you on my chest, I asked Bijay if you looked like a Leo. He said let's ask you. So he said "is your name Leo?" and you looked up at him instantly. He said "Leander?" and still you looked at us.
When they put you on my chest it looked like you were about to cry so I said the three sentences I always repeated to you throughout my pregnancy: "You're mommy's beautiful baby boy. Mommy loves you SO MUCH. You're such a good boy, aren't you?" After the first sentence I uttered, I saw instant recognition in your eyes. The other two sentences were uttered with half crying on my part. We stared at each other in silence. I was blissfully unaware of what was happening down near my uterus, down where the action continued as I was sewn up. I didn't care anymore because I had you with me.
I knew that you were hungry because I was starving. You fed from me instantly when we were in the recovery hall. But as the midwife had to attend another surgery, she was forced to take you off me whilst you were feeding and wheel you away. You cried. I cried.
After being doped up in recovery, they wheeled me to the postnatal ward where Bijay had scored me a room of my own without anyone else in it. I was so happy to be with my boys.
And so the craziness of the first week had only just begun.
Christmas and New Year came and went without dramas. It was perhaps the most boring, uneventful holiday season I've ever experienced! I'm 36 weeks pregnant now and today I found out that you're actually in a Frank breech position. You've stayed that way for such a long time now. I wonder if it's because I always sleep on my right side and the fact that I always rub you when you stick out your head and back? I was told that my only options are to have an external cephalic version (where they turn you from the outside) or to have a cesarean section. Suffice it to say, I don't want either performed on me. Apparently that makes me selfish (mom said) but I know that both of these things aren't what nature intended! I rang my mom's friend who is a homeopath. She told me to get Pulsatilla 200c, do 5 drops under the tongue morning and night for 5 days and after this everything will be fine. Mom told me I should try acupuncture, and that there's nothing wrong with cesareans, blah blah blah. I'll try homeopathy first though since I know it always works with me. Tomorrow Sydney is expecting 40-degree temperatures so of course it's the worst time to be hauling ass to the city to get the remedy, but I'll do anything to make sure you turn! Let's see if it works.
Question for the ladies (or men if you want to answer):
Let's say you are pregnant with your 2nd child. Your first child was born via C-section and they used a low transverse incision (along your bikini line). For your second child, would you want to try to attempt a vaginal birth after cesarian (VBAC)?
I ask because I was reviewing Obstetrics today and in the notes about a VBAC the risks of uterine rupture is 1/100 and the risk of catastrophic complication (including death) is 1/1000.
So my question is, do you proceed with a VBAC? Or do you elect for a repeat C-section?
Also, for those who have delivered VBAC, were those risks appropriately explained beforehand?
