Multiple Births - Twins |
| by Christina Collins Two types of astrological twins exist. One situation presents where another non related individual is born at the same time, in the same place on the same day. The second obvious astrological twins occur when two or more in a multiple birth are born to the same family. In the case of non related same time births � if the seconds of birth are known in each case, these individuals can and often will be very similar.
So, people born the same day, with the same exact birth details, yet without a genetic connection will often become quite different the older they get, due to the malleable outside influences they each receive. Now we come to genetic twins, especially identical twins who share the same DNA. Environment affects them as well, the older they get, and if one or both marry or have children, the more diverse is their individual expression. It is said, that when you marry, you receive a second set of planets for your chart. One technique is to read them as conjunctions. The same is said of children, their planets also affect the charts of the parents, and the lives of the parents. For example, a child born with a chart of success and greatness will, in the dasa or timing periods of those planets forming the yogas of greatness, bring great prosperity to the family. Even if the child is still quite young. And, even if the parents charts only show the potential possibility of gains. When you read this month�s Letters to the Editor, you will see an email that someone sent asking about the birth of a litter of puppies (multiple birth) and how would you read their charts? I am really grateful for her letter, as I am always searching for ideas to write about in Light Notes. (so keep your topic requests coming please). Which brings us now to techniques for reading the charts of twins. I have personally studied the horoscopes of many sets of twins and triplets. I find that frequently the sign Gemini is in play. Often the Sun is in Gemini. Similarly, the rising sign may be Gemini. Also, I find frequency in the Leo ascendant for twins. (the 11th house of older siblings is Gemini, and there is often one or more planets residing n Gemini. One of the most interesting studies were fraternal twins. A girl was born just before midnight on September 13th with Gemini Rising, and her brother was born just after midnight with Cancer Rising on the 13th. They lived quite different lives, but the major slow moving planets, Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu were the same from their mutual Cancer Moon. You see, from the ascendants one had a 2nd house Moon, the other a first house moon, yet from their Chandra lagnas they were both Cancer rising. It is very important to also read from the Moon chart at birth. They both are extremely talented in the arts, one on canvas, one with music. The most obvious technique in determining the difference between twins is to observe the Navamsa chart of each child. Almost always the 2nd born has a different Navamsa or 9th harmonic chart, either giving or taking away from the strength of the Birth chart. Another technique is to observe the rising signs as applying to the physical self of each. For example, if they are both Gemini rising, their physical bodies will be similar. However, in terms of life experiences, you read the 2nd born from the 3rd house (the house of brothers and younger siblings) of the first born (the first born child�s younger sibling). With triplets, you read the 3rd house from the second born, and so forth. As we all know, the 3rd house is an upachaya (houses 3, 6, 10 and 11). Upachaya houses are houses that improve over time. The third in particular will have some life challenges. The eighth house is the house of misery, chronic disease, kundalini and mystical transcendent experiences. The 3rd house is 8th as counted from the 8th house. Frequently, the health challenges will go to the second born (as the younger sibling of the first born). Often the first born will have a higher rise in life, with greater or more effortless success. A simpler way to state this, is that often, though not always as there are always mitigating factors in the entire horoscope, the difficult Karma goes to the 2nd born.
