At twelve, I choked at the dinner table. My mom had to perform the Heimlich Maneuver, but I knew that it wasn't going to work because I could feel the darned thing still stuck in my throat after about a minute. I managed somehow in my adrenalized state to put my wee hand down my throat and pull the stuff out. Yech.
How's that for spitting it out, Mike?
Yes, and there have been a few other instances of near-death experience.

When I was about 5 years old, I was riding my bike in the street, and WHAM! a car hit me! I don't remember much about that...except it was a miracle I wasn't killed!

When I was in 2nd grade, I used to love to play "Red Rover, Red Rover, we dare you to come over". Kids would hold hands and you had to run as fast as you could to try to break their hands apart. I ran REALLY fast and must have fallen and hit my head on the curb. Next thing I knew, I was waking up in the lap of a Nun (I went to a Catholic gradeschool) in the Convent. They must have carried me over there.

I also had many fevers when I was young....I would have hallucinations and be screaming when my parents came near me. They had to put rubbing alcohol on me to bring me back around....

Oh, I also hit my head a couple others times, but didn't pass out....but I had concussions....

Ha ha! No wonder I am sometimes quite craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy!!!!

I have never had a near death (physical experience) but related to my Pluto, Venus and North Node in the 8th house - I have died inside and rebirthed myself spiritually and emotionally many many times (and when I say died inside - I mean gone to the DEPTHS of myself - places no one wants to visit! - but it was necessary for growth) -
Just thought Id share that aspect/form of death. Death meaning I almost lost myself in the dark places - because of my experiences - and never returned the same afterwards (regeneration/rebirth).
(Deep thoughts....lol)

First, with my planets. I've got Mars conjunct both Pluto and Saturn in Libra in the 8th. I've also got Pallas in the 8th, and Jupiter on the 8th/9th house cusp in Scorpio. I've also got moon in Aries opposing my 8th house planets.

Now for two near death experiences.

My friend was driving us on the highway, and all of a sudden he told me he had a bad feeling of deja vu (sorry no accent marks, don't know how on my pc). He often had bad boughts of deva vu, followed by feeling sick to the stomach. Well, I asked him if he was okay, and before responding, his body started to tense and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. His foot pressed down on the accelerator even further. He was having a seizure while sitting in the driver's seat! Time slowed down, and my mind became very clear. I knew that I needed to get into his seat to put my foot on the brake. As I was jumping over to his seat, he came out of it and let his foot off the accelerator, and I was able to grab the steering wheel and tell him to brake. We're lucky there had been no cars in the immediate vicinity, or else we would have surely hit them. We could have also hit the freeway barrier, going at 85 mph.

My friend and I were visiting some of her friends, and they took us to the railroad tracks. We walked down them pretty far, and on either side there was a steep embankment. The guys told us trains didn't use these tracks ever. But my friend and I started to get a strange feeling after a while. We thought, we've been here too long. We kept telling the guys, we need to leave. Well, as you may have already expected, all of a sudden we see a light coming from around the corner of the hill ahead. No sound, of course, just the light. it was a train. Maybe 100-200 ft. ahead, it was hard to judge. We started running down the tracks, my friend tripped, her friend helped her back up. We realized we had to scramble up the hillside, cause there was no flat area to run from the tracks. Using both hands, clinging to roots and rocks, I made my way up the embankment, and as soon as I reached the top and could turn around, the train came barreling by where we had just been standing. Once again, during this whole episode, I had an incredible sense of time slowing down, and calmness. I just did what I needed to do. And afterwards I wasn't even that shocked. It gives me confidence to know that I can react calmly under intense pressure. Maybe I've got some kind of inner warrior.

I wonder if this ability is read in my chart?

I'm only 20 but I've had a few dangerous encounters, not necessarily near death but still painful and scary.

One of the earliest ones was when I was on holiday with my mum and dad in Greece and nearly drowned in the deep pool (knucklehead wanted to prove to herself she could do it without armbands on her own) and my mum dived in and saved me. I seemed to fall in water quite a lot when I was little.

I've also all but knocked myself out by running into a metal climbing frame in the dark before. My friends were the worried ones, I was too busy giggling on the floor where I had landed.

Falling down steel edged stairs knees first is also funny.

One major one (that didn't happen to me personally, but I was involved) was when the wooden cabinet above my mum and step-dad's bed with a neon light tube fell on them and I had to switch the electricity off and help get them out from under it. (I was about 13)

Oh and I should never allow my mum to go driving in heavy rain. Especially when there's a huge hill that she has to go up to go anywhere out of our estate... or without working windscreen wipers along a very busy road. She has a tendency to panic. (She has Saturn in Capricorn in her 8th house as have I).

I have Mars, Saturn and Uranus tightly conjunct with Neptune widely conjunct them all in Capricorn, my 8th house cusp is in Saggitarius and Jupiter is in the 12th house Aries trining the Mars/Saturn/Uranus (exclud. Neptune) cluster.

I do get freaked out by these things but as I get older I've gotten used to it and take the hilariously retarded moments and nasty situations as learning processes.

I actually had two. Once when I was about 7 or so I was in my baby-sitters back yard pool. Her son and his friends decided to make a whirlpool and of course, I was more than up for it. There were a bunch of them, all older teenage guys into their twenties. Eventually, they got this whirlpool going pretty good. Unfortunately, any scrawny 7 year old kid would have problems holding on to the edge of the pool and I ended up getting sucked down to the bottom and couldn't swim my way back up. I only remember a feeling of panic and then blacking out.

The second time, some friends and I decided to make each other pass out. You know that stupid game teenagers play where you take so many deep breaths, then come up taking in as much air as possible and crossing your arms over your chest. Supposedly the longer you can hold your breath while someone is pressing on your chest, the better the experience is. For me, it was always more of this weird interest in going into these weird unconscious states than it was the feeling of passing out. I had agreed to let them press on my chest well after I had passed out. Hey, it seemed like a good idea. Apparently, I began having a seizure and stopped breathing from the experience. Fortunately, one of my idiot friends knew CPR and I was revived before the paramedics had arrived.

Leo Moon in the eighth house opposition Aquarius Sun/Venus in the second.

when i was about twelve years old, i went down a hill on my bike without brakes, the back tire got hit by a muscle car (dunno which one). my bike fell to it's right side holding my right arm and leg down between the bike and the asphalt in a spin. all i got was scrapes and bruises. my arm and leg was pretty bloody though. =/

Mmm lets see before I was even born my mother had plans on aborting me but kept me. When I was little kid I fell off a slide and almost got squashed by a dresser once. I have had countless times where I could have been ran over by a car.
