Hi folks,
When a child is born and never takes a breath there can be no *natal* chart for that person.
The case I am considering involves the stillbirth of a child at full term. He died on his *due date*.
I have drawn up an *event chart* for the time of his birth. The time of his death is also known (within a 30 min period).
It seems very strange to me that this child does not *Qualify* for a natal chart, as he failed to meet the criterion of taking a breath.Yet he existed, and existed in a relationship with his mother, and father.He was a person and he was required to have a funeral.He had to be given a name.
Yet-no chart.
I'd be very interested to hear the opinions of other members on this sensitive issue, as no doubt some of us will at some point come across the situation.
The conception date is also available for this child.
Other than the *Event* chart, is there any other astrological means of providing a form of Natal chart in such circumstances?
(I really wasn't sure *where* to post this, and if I have erred, my apologies.)
Cheers,
Lillyjgc
