I. Introduction
This short extract gives you a taste of the personal "Child's Horoscope" by Liz Greene. The small samples taken from various chapters convey an impression of the complete horoscope (18-25 pages) which can be
ordered as an E-Horoscope or a bound book in the AstroShop.
Most parents long to provide their children with the best they can offer on every level. But what is "the best"? The birth horoscope of a child is a map of patterns and potentials which exist in that child from the moment of birth. Encouragement of
these potentials in childhood can help a child to develop greater confidence and hope for a future which is more authentically his or her own, so that greater happiness and fulfillment are possible later in life.
II. Your Child's Psychological Type
In this concise chapter Liz Greene describes the child's general temperament and his characteristic approach to life.
The rich array of individual abilities and potentials portrayed in John Victor's birth horoscope is set against the background of an inherent temperament bias which may be partly hereditary but is also the reflection of a mysterious essence which
belongs to him alone. This mysterious "something" is already at work within John Victor, helping him to develop his personality along the lines which are healthiest and most natural to him.
[..] John Victor tends to burden himself with the obligation of being good, and therefore he does not need to have parental guilt instilled in him in addition. Rather, he needs as much help and encouragement as possible to recognise and value his emotional needs, even if these [...] III. The Characters in the Story
This is one of the most comprehensive chapters of the "Child's Horoscope". This short version touches only on a few of the central characters in your child's personality. The complete report provides a detailed description on 7-9 pages.
The tension between the main characters in John Victor's inner story is the source of energy which provides the impetus for growth, movement and the formation of a healthy individuality.
Ancient Greek philosophy postulated that the human intellect was divine. Although many people might not see it that way now, certainly there is something magical about the way in which John Victor carefully observes the world around him and strives
to understand it through [...]
[..] But learning for John Victor must be through direct experience, for he is
essentially pragmatic and mistrustful of anything he has not seen, heard, smelled, tasted or touched. He will take no one's word for it. Parents and teachers may sometimes find this disturbing, as [...]
Hidden traits
[..] Unfortunately the prevailing fashion in education may mitigate against such a creative interaction, since generally (save
in specially orientated establishments such as the Rudolf Steiner schools) insufficient respect is given to the nonrational side of life. "Science" is [...]
IV. Emotional Needs and Patterns in Relationships
This chapter contains valuable information on the child's basic needs and the relationship with his parents. The complete horoscope covers this chapter on 5-6 pages.
Every child has particular ways in which he or she experiences and seeks emotional contact with others, and this may not always accord with other, more dominant personality traits.
[..] But there is also something very butterfly-like and elusive about his affections, and those who
trample on the delicacy of his feelings or approach him with coarseness or possessiveness are likely to be charmingly but firmly removed from the list of favoured people. Highly [...]
[..] Because John Victor has such a deep
admiration for his father and longs so much to please him, heavy-handed authority or the misuse of power whether overt or subtly manipulative is not only unnecessary but can be quite destructive to John Victor's sense of confidence [...]
V. Fears and Insecurities
Knowing about their child's fears can help parents to react with love and understanding in challenging situations. The child's main fears and insecurities are described on 2-3 pages in the full report.
VI. Looking toward the future
Many parents wonder about the future of their child. Every child has his own way to develop his potential. What this means for the individual child is described on 2-3 pages in chapter six of the complete Child's Horoscope.
