Mercury in Scorpio conjunct Saturn

Mercury/Saturn is one of the primary astrological constants that we find within the charts of men and women who have been diagnosed with infertility. This is usually a corroborating factor that supports other astrological combinations within a chart that also point in the direction of this condition. Mercury symbolizes children. Saturn corresponds with obstruction, delay, or denial. Mercury/Saturn, therefore, corresponds with the obstruction of one’s ability to produce children.
   Scorpio corresponds with the reproductive system. Mercury in Scorpio conjunct Saturn could signify an obstruction or restriction within the vessels that supply the reproductive organs. Such a blockage may interfere with the native’s overall reproductive capabilities.

Venus in Scorpio square Pluto

Venus/Pluto is one of the primary astrological constants that are found in cases of reproductive health concerns in general. Venus co-rules the male reproductive system alongside Mars. Venus governs the prostate gland, the seminal vesicles, and sperm cells in general. Pluto corresponds with abnormal functioning of whichever organs in the body it afflicts. Thus, Venus/Pluto denotes abnormal functioning with-in the male reproductive system.
   This is further corroborated by the fact that Venus is in Scorpio. No other sign of the zodiac is as deeply connected with the reproductive organs as Scorpio. Thus, Venus essentially debilitated in Scorpio and square Pluto suggests that the native is prone to developing some abnormal condition that negatively impacts his reproductive health.

Venus parallel Mars

Venus governs sperm. Mars is a hot and dry, malevolent planet that corresponds with barrenness and destruction. Venus/Mars can denote the destruction of the vital moisture necessary for the native to be fertile within this lifetime. This, in a chart that already denotes infertility, can serve as further corroboration of that condition.

Mars conjunct Chiron

Mars governs the testicles. Chiron corresponds with chronic illnesses and unhealable physical or psychological wounds. Mars/Chiron may indicate a chronic illness that impacts the testicles of the native. It could also suggest some unhealable psychological wound that impacts his overall identity as a man.

Mars quincunx Pluto

The main ways in which Mars pathologizes are through inflammation, irritation, infection, and injury. Dr. William Davidson tells us that Pluto should be thought of as a “triple-strength Mars.” He states that Pluto is primarily inflammatory and ulcerative in its effects. He also declares that wherever there is Pluto, there is tremendous destruction. Thus, the combination of Mars/Pluto can indicate an abnormal amount of heat within the native’s overall constitution. The excess constitutional heat may be very destructive to the native’s sperm count and reproductive abilities. Mars also governs the testicles. Mars/Pluto could signify abnormal trauma to or functioning of this part of the native’s constitution.

Mars opposite Uranus

Mars governs the testicles. Uranus corresponds with spasms and erratic functioning. Mars/Uranus could signify erratic functioning within the native’s testicles, which might correspond with him also having an erratic sperm count.

Mars square Neptune

Mars governs the testicles and male virility in general. Neptune corresponds with chronic under-functioning and devitalization. Mars/Neptune could indicate some chronic weakness within the native’s reproductive system with the potential to render him infertile.

Mars opposite Jupiter

After fifteen years of trying, the native and his wife eventually had a child by natural means. Of this combination, Ebertin writes:

Successful creative activity, a fortunate decision…. The completed birth… the first cry.

There are undoubtedly several combinations within the native’s chart that point in the direction of grave reproductive health concerns. Nevertheless, his natal Mars/Jupiter combination may have been powerful enough to deliver the goal long held by both him and his wife of conceiving a child naturally.
