Returning to the place of birth. Severe lights, no blanket. And the hands of strangers. The birth of a baby is a funny thing anymore. My own mother was also sedated while I was pulled out by metal and then brought to the nursery where I spent my first twelve hours in a plastic bed. My father told me he was able to look at me through glass. A callous entry, though a common occurrence: placenta to plastic, dark to light, warm to cold, blood to air. Science.
My sister’s baby was born today, July 8, at 4:53 PM in North Shore LIJ hospital in Manhasset, NY. Tyler Thomas. Sun in Cancer in the 8th house conjunct the south node, and Pluto on the north. Gemini moon. A Scorpio rising by the skin of his teeth. And thus another plutonian being enters the world.
Congratulating congratulations to little Tyler Thomas.
