    Question Gender Prediction Study - Jonas Method

    Sorry mods if this is in the wrong section - but I was keen to reach mummas with bubs in arms...

    Hiya,

    I recently came across and have been reading up on the Jonas method - which claims a 98% accuracy rate for determining gender based on the position of the moon and planets in the lunar cycle etc.
    According to this theory, you are most likely to conceive a boy when the zodiac is in a positive sign, and a girl when the zodiac is in a negative sign (I have very little knowledge of astrology so have no idea what the negative and positive refers to exactly - perhaps someone can enlighten me?). Proponents of this method have a very fancy, in depth and apparently 'scientific' explanation for the success rate.
    I have to admit that I was more than a little skeptical, but after going back to my charts from when I conceived my 2 boys (one in early June and the other in early Feb), I was surprised to find that both support the theory as they were conceived in the middle of a positive sign. I also worked out my friend's kids (2 girls), which again supported the theory. (Of course I am not sold on the method from 2 participants alone!!)
    The supposed weakness of this method is that, when ovulation occurs around the time of a shift in the zodiac, and due to variations in the life of sperm/egg, exact position of the zodiac at conception cannot be guaranteed. I hope that makes sense? This method also takes into account lunar conception based upon your apparent natal lunar angle (angle of the moon at your birth), but that is a whole other thread....
    So anyways, although I am skeptical i am also curious, so i thought it would be fun to start a little 'study' - where you can post the sign that you conceived within, along with the gender of your child for that pregnancy. It is probably only worth posting if you are absolutely sure of when you ovulated/conceived, and if this time falls well within the boundaries of a single zodiac sign, otherwise if it was on or near the borderline than specify this as it may affect the 'validity' of the method - LOL. To make it easier, I have put the positive signs in blue for boy, and the negative signs in pink for girl.


    Aries: Mar 21 - Apr 20
    Taurus: April 21 - May 21
    Gemini: May 22 - June 21
    Cancer: June 22 - July 23
    Leo: July 24 - Aug 23
    Virgo: Aug 24 - Sept 23
    Libra: Sept 24 - Oct 23
    Scorpio: Oct 24 - Nov 22
    Sagittarius: Nov 23 - Dec 22
    Capricorn: Dec 23 - Jan 20
    Aquarius: Jan 21 - Feb 19
    Pisces: Feb 20 - March 20

    So I'll go first:
    Conception #1 - Positive (Gemini), Gender - Boy
    Conception #2 - Positive (Aquarius), Gender - Boy


    I can't believe I am posting this, but hey - there are apparently many women out there who swear by it, so I am interested to see the results!!

    Thanks in advance for your participation.
