Becoming Mommie: Fertility Astrology 101—Part 1

By Barbara Schermer

Astrology has been called the "science of cycles." What more important cycle is there than the rhythms of a woman's body, waxing and waning with its opportunities for conceiving new life. And what can astrology contribute when conception or full-term pregnancy proves difficult. Research shows that world wide there are 90 million women and men who experience infertility problems. If you are having difficulty, astrology may help you. Using your birth chart, we find the precise times over the next twelve months that your fertility is at its peak and you are more likely to get pregnant naturally.

If, however, you are already engaged in assisted reproductive procedures (In-Vitro Fertilization, GIFT, ZIFT and other variations), astrology can still be of help. In most cases a doctor will give you a 12 to 36 hour window when a procedure (implantation) should be done. We can work with that to find the most auspicious time within that medical window.

There will be further posts in this “Becoming Mommie” blog track, designed to inform and support you in reaching your goal—a healthy and happy baby!  I will provide several of my case studies—the women who have used these precise times and now have their babies (seven babies and counting).
Here are four simple astrological recommendations to guide you.

Guideline #1: Use the best fertility times.

There are three two-week time periods each year in which you are the most fertile (we are speaking in general but this applies to all women). They are when the New Moons appear in the water signs of Cancer (especially), Scorpio and Pisces. Here are the next three water moon cycles (2011-2012) to take advantage of:

    •    ·      July 1- July 15 (New Moon in Cancer)
    •    ·      October 26-November 10 (New Moon in Scorpio)
    •    ·      February 21, 2012-March 8 2012 (New Moon in Pisces)

Mark your calendar. If you ovulate regularly and are having your ovulation during or very near these time periods, make a date with your partner or try to arrange the timing to be implanted then.
