Spencer was born September 14, 2001 – three days after THE September 11^th , the day the world changed forever.  Mars, god of war, was out of bounds (and thus behaving erratically) in Capricorn with the south node of the moon, indicator of our evolutionary past.  Jupiter king of the gods was opposite them, near the north node of the Moon in Cancer, where it is considered to be ‘exalted.’  Austin Coppock explains, ”In Cancer, Jupiter teaches the wisdom of mutual nourishing.” Certainly this was the case with us, as his Cancer Jupiter was in a beneficial (sextile) ‘cheerleader’ aspect to my Virgo Sun.  And his Virgo Sun was close to my Virgo Saturn, ruler of the partnership area of my chart.  That day, the asteroid Spencer was also in conjunction with his Sun and my Saturn. 

For thirteen years, he was my partner in crime.  We went almost everywhere together in my midnight blue Mercury Mountaineer I had purchased just days after his birth. He died on his 14^th birthday, the day of a Solar Eclipse conjunct his Sun AND my Saturn!
