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 Gemma'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 Gemma, helping her to develop her personality along the lines which are healthiest and most natural to her.
[..] However, she may often exhibit a peculiarly stubborn tenacity in refusing to accommodate an unwelcome fact such as the sharing of possessions with siblings, or a
change in holiday plans. This is not because Gemma is "difficult" it is because she must directly experience [...]
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 Gemma's inner story is the source of energy which provides the impetus for growth, movement and the formation of a healthy individuality.
[..] As she gets older she may display an unusual quality of detachment, for she tries to depersonalise situations in order to understand them. A certain calmness and restraint may be evident in her manner, even toward emotive
issues which would be guaranteed to raise storms [...]
[..] But learning for Gemma must be through direct experience, for she is essentially
pragmatic and mistrustful of anything she has not seen, heard, smelled, tasted or touched. She will take no one's word for it. Parents and teachers may sometimes find this disturbing, as though [...]
Hidden traits
[..] Therefore parents may need to make a special effort to help Gemma validate her inner world, because it is unlikely that she will receive much affirmation of it once she enters school and she is
innately mistrustful of it to begin with. In particular, encourage her to [...]
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.
[..] Above all, words matter to Gemma, and a good flow of communication
however "frivolous" or "silly" is absolutely essential for her in any important relationship. Versatile, intelligent and curious, her inquisitive nature and eagerness to learn everything she can about [...]
[..] Even if other family members vie for parental attention, Gemma is likely to cherish a feeling that she is special and has a unique place in her mother's heart. Such deep attachment needs to be respected but never
exploited, for the daughter's sense of identification with [...]
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.
