The Cabbage Patch

There are a couple of amazing stories that I've read about this Summer. They have to do with children and hospitals so I think maybe they are connected with the opposition between Saturn in Leo and Neptune in Aquarius. Leo rules kids and Neptune rules Hospitals. These planets have been in and out of Grand Squares with other planets off and on for a while which may account for these spurts of exceptional activity.

First story starts at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Michigan where 6 sets of twins were born to 6 different mothers within 32 hours of each other. 5 sets of boys and one set of girls. The first birth was on June 27, 2006 at 9:05 am and the last was on June 28, 2006 32 hours later around 5:05 pm. Sparrow Hospital, Lansing, MI.

Exceptional to note is that this was the New Moon in Cancer so both Sun and Moon were in Cancer, the sign of birth and babies. Couldn't be a more appropriate astro setting for this story. The Sun was in a Grand Water Trine with Jupiter in the 4th house (ruled by Cancer) and Uranus in the 8th house (ruled by Scorpio, procreation, large groups, and doing things on a Grand Scale). These planets are in Water Houses as well as Water Signs. An awful lot of expactant mothers broke their waters at the same time in Lansing, Michigan at the end of July this year.

The Ascendant for the chart is Leo so the Sun rules the chart and is very strong. It disposits to the Moon (babies) which is in its own sing and in the 12th house (Hospitals). It is also conjunct Mercury, which rules Gemini the sign of the twins.

The Saturn-Neptune opposition is running across the Ascendant-Descendant and Mars is conjunct Saturn and Jupiter is squaring it. Mars would indicate Boys and Venus would indicate Girls. Mars is much more prominent in this chart.

Venus is in Gemini, sign of the twins and sextiling both the Ascendant and Mercury from the 10th house, almost conjunct 11th house cusp.

The 4th house has Libra on the Cusp with Scorpio intercepted and Jupiter within. Guess this could indicate an Extreme Childbirthing Marathon. The 5th house of Children has Sagittarius on the cusp with Pluto within. This is mutual reception with Jupiter. Pluto aspects Jupiter, Saturn, Ascendant and Neptune.

32 hours later when the final set of twins popped out both Mercury and the Moon had moved into Leo. The Moon was conjunct the Mars-Saturn conjunction which is very close to the Leo MC in the chart for 5:05pm. That indicates a good time for stopping. I'm not sure of the exact time of the last birth, but this chart has Scorpio rising with Jupiter conjunct the Asc. The Grand Trine is still in the Water Houses, but the Sun has moved into the 8th house and Uranus has moved into the 4th house, Jupiter still in the 12th house (oops, I almost wrote Hospital). The North Node is on the Aries Point at 20 Pisces and exactly conjunct the 5th house cusp bringing fame and much joy to these kids right from the start of their new lives.
