I am wondering how many members here were born on an eclipse day, either solar or lunar, and how this plays out in your lives? I spent quite a bit of time recently, on this thread
http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40285
exploring a natal Sun/Moon opposition in the hours preceeding an eclipse, and came to the conclusion that the lunar eclipse will alter the interpretaion because the Sun and Moon, though opposed, are also parallel. This could change the dynamic of the opposition.
Because I am
always curious, I tried to find information online about what historically people thought about eclipse birthdays, and came across some pretty interesting superstitions.
For example, this link

says
A well-known (still modern!) superstition says that a pregnant woman shouldn't touch her belly during a lunar eclipse. Doing so will cause the baby to be born with quite a noticeable birthmark.
Now, I'm not one for superstition...however, I just happen to have a
very large birthmark on my right leg that is about 1/3 the length of my femur.
So, were you born during an eclipse? And has anyone else come across any interesting facts or superstitions about it?
