Could your star sign help you get pregnant?
Astro-fertility works on the assumption that there are only two or three times a year when a woman can become pregnant and go on to successfully give birth. Those windows are particular to each woman based on her and her partner’s time and place of birth and the alignment of planets at those moments. According to those who follow astro-fertility, it is only when the position of those planets is replicated that a woman can conceive.
The technique was pioneered by Czechoslovakian psychiatrist and astrologer, Dr. Eugen Jonas. He discovered that there seemed to be a connection between the position of the Sun to the Moon in a woman's chart and when she was truly fertile. The moment (once in a month) when the Moon is at the exact distance from the Sun as it was at one's birth is the key to lunar cycle fertility. According to Dr. Eugen Jonas, this is also the moment of maximum fertility.
The big question is, does it work? Converts to the technique swear by its effectiveness, but we’re yet to be convinced. And we’re not the only ones: In the Daily Mail today, pioneering Professor of Fertility Robert Winston described the suggestion that astrology can predict fertility as ‘utter rubbish’.
‘There is not the slightest evidence that star signs make the slightest difference to fertility,’ says Prof Winston. ‘It’s shocking to me that anyone would make that claim based on anecdotal events. What worries me is that infertility is the cause of desperate sadness and couples will grasp any kind of straw such as this.”
