Near Death; A Birth Chart Revelation?

As I recall the automobile accident I was involved in in January, 2000, I can’t help but think about how close I was to death. The last thing I remember was looking left and seeing the headlights of the car that was about to ram me in my driver side door.

Then, a loud noise brought me back. When I picked my head up off of the steering wheel, I looked around slowly, and I asked the first responder if we were in a dream.

He said, “No, this is real.”

And that noise came back. It was a saw that was being used to cut portions of my car away so I could be removed. The car was that mangled. I have no idea how long I was unconscious for.

When the ambulance arrived on the scene, they thought I was dead. The guy who hit me thought I was dead, and when my mother went to the junkyard to get my license plates off my car, the men working there apologized for her loss.

How close was I to death?

I took a look at my birth chart, and my first four houses are Leo, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio. Because of my birth time, the MC-IC axis is almost perfectly centered dividing Aries and Libra at 17 degrees. So Libra, the third house now split by the IC axis, has its first 16 degrees in the 3rd house and its last 14 degrees in the 4th house.

The 3rd house has a few attributes including the one in focus here, short distant travel. And that’s what I was doing. I was driving in my town traveling back home from a friends house. Short distance travel.

Pluto, the planet of death, is placed in Libra, the third sign in my chart, however, because of the IC axis, its placement is on the 4th house side of Libra at 21 degrees.

How close was I to death?

I think I was about 5 degrees away. If Pluto’s placement was to the left of the IC axis in the 3rd house of short distance travel, I think I would’ve been dead.
