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 her characteristic approach to life.
The rich array of individual abilities and potentials portrayed in Sylvia'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 her alone. This mysterious "something" is already at work within Sylvia, helping her to develop her personality along the lines which are healthiest and most natural to her.
[..] This may be confusing to parents who, pleased with their civilised and good-natured child, may overlook those distress signals (such as psychosomatic symptoms, loss of appetite, retreat into her room for hours on end, or sudden reluctance to go to school) which are Sylvia's [...] 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 Sylvia's inner story is the source of energy which provides the impetus for growth, movement and the formation of a healthy individuality.
From a very early age Sylvia's keen gaze looks out at life and observes what is there, not what she wishes or dreams there might be, for she has the innate gift of being able to accept reality. Because she is able to move through each stage of
development with an instinctive [...]
[..] She is a
small psychologist in the making, for she has an instinctive understanding of human motives something which some family members might find uncomfortable if they are not accustomed to looking beneath the surface of their conscious intentions. Her
intuitive grasp [...]
Hidden traits
[..] Because
she is ordinarily more pragmatic about the nature of reality, the only outlet she may have for these highly coloured romantic images is through stories, films, music or poetry. Thus it is important to ensure that there is encouragement for such
imaginative outlets [...]
IV. Emotional Needs and Patterns in Relationships
This chapter contains valuable information on the child's basic needs and the relationship with her 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 she has a remarkable ability to establish a sense of "family" according to mental affinity rather than simple biology, and may find it hard to offer undeviating devotion to family members simply because
they are family, if the sense of "like minds" is missing. Always [...]
Sylvia has an image of her mother as a free spirit longing to fly, and will look to her mother for the courage to transcend or transform rigid social and sexual roles. This mythic image of a free feminine spirit reflects Sylvia's own longing to be a
whole and independent [...]
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 her own way to develop her potential. What this means for the individual child is described on 2-3 pages in chapter six of the complete Child's Horoscope.
