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 James' 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 James, helping him to develop his personality along the lines which are healthiest and most natural to him.
[..] Areas like homework, domestic tasks and managing his allowance will probably be easier for James to deal with than for many children as
long as the requirements are expressed plainly and clearly, for there is an innate potential in him for much patience and common sense. In [...]
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 James' inner story is the source of energy which provides the impetus for growth, movement and the formation of a healthy individuality.
[..] This is not because James does not care for others. On the contrary,
special people mean an enormous amount to him and he is capable of great loyalty and long-lasting affection. But he is a very private person, and this will become more evident as he grows up. It is important [...]
[..] But when he is not in the mood, parents should not worry that he is "antisocial" or unhappy. He simply needs to process his perceptions of the outer world at his own
rate of speed and in his own highly individual fashion.
He is also very proud, and as he gets older he may [...]
Hidden traits
[..] Yet his desire to be popular and an accepted part of a group is actually very great. These two aspects of his nature generate an internal conflict which could be extremely creative if he can be
helped to accept the fact that his need for the approval of the collective does [...]
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.
[..] No one can remain emotionally fused with another indefinitely, for it is in the nature of human beings
to need separateness as well as closeness. For this reason one of the greatest challenges of his childhood will be the necessity to grow beyond his fear of fundamental [...]
[..] Even though tradition implies that such qualities are "maternal", nevertheless James has an inner image of his
father as an essentially sensitive and caring man even if the "real" parent is sometimes moody, changeable or unavailable because of circumstances. James will [...]
V. Fears and Insecurities
