Robert answers a question about what astrology might say about marriage and children. We have covered this some in previous episodes, and this could literally be its own course, but Robert hits some high points in response to this great listener question.
One technique Robert uses to help verify the correct ascendant is the birth order of children in a chart. Robert says his experience has shown the technique to be 80-85% accurate. Note that it is not 100%, but it is more often than not.
Note: This only works in the Equal House System. Intercepted house systems like Placidus will not work.
This has been described in several previous episodes, but here are the particulars of the technique:
For Women: The first child is represented by the fourth house
For Men: The first child is represented by the fifth house
Each child thereafter is represented by the following house sequence:
For women - 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 2
For men - 5, 7, 9, 11, 1, 3
You add the genders of all that relates to that house, including the cusp ruler and where that ruling planet is and all the planets in the sign. The technique is too detailed to list here, and we have covered it and it is Part 1 of the Kepler College Workshop Robert did in 2017 on Solar Arcs, but let's use the following example. (You can email Kepler to see if the workshop can still be purchased)
For a woman's first child, look at the 4th house. (this is a make-believe chart)
Sagittarius is on the cusp at 15° (male) with Uranus (neutral) and Mars (male) in the 4th. Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter (male) which is in Cancer (female). So that is 3 for male; 1 for female and 1 neutral. Her first child should be a male.
The same is done for the second child (6th house), third child (8th house), etc. For a man, you begin this process with the first child represented by the 5th house.
