Post by Chris MitchellPost by JyeshtaCould you please refresh my memory and tell me what the pre-natal
epoch is? Thanks.
It's simply the last Full Moon or New Moon before your date of birth.
Chris.
RM: Gotcha!
In Geoffrey Dean and Arthur Mather's famous book "Recent Advances in
Natal Astrology" the Pre-natal epoch is described like this in the
first three paragraphs on page 473.
THE PRENATAL EPOCH
"According to Bailey [4] and Sepharial [68] there is an exact
interchange between the Moon's position at epoch and the ascendant or
Descendant at birth, and vice versa. This is also known as the Trutine
of Hermes."
"The word 'epoch' means either a moment or a period marking new
developments;here only the first is relevant. There is no agreement on
what the epoch is but it is usually taken to be the moment of
conception".
Hall [30] comments - "Exponents of the prenatal epoch believe that a
chart erected for the time of conception will give a more definite
figure of the innate qualities... than that erected for the time of
physical birth .. (it) reveals .. those qualities brought forward from
past lives".

Schwickert, Tucker, Church of Light, Dobyns, Kemp, Hone, and Blundson
are omitted from my quote above but they are all discussing the same
thing.
