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 P.'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 P., helping him to develop his personality along the lines which are healthiest and most natural to him.
[..] This places his feelings in a kind of psychic pressure cooker, generating those "meek as a lamb or mad as a hornet" mood fluctuations which surprise everyone around him and most of all himself. Fits of inexplicable irritability and withdrawal will not be uncommon, and [...] 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 P.'s inner story is the source of energy which provides the impetus for growth, movement and the formation of a healthy individuality.
[..] But although he has a warm and generous heart and a spontaneously affectionate nature, he is quite incapable of any long-term suppression of his distinctive personality in order to please
anyone even those he loves most. As he grows older, John P. may often defy conventionally [...]
[..] Parents may need to be prepared to see toys broken and thrown about.
They may also need to keep an eye on John P. in this sort of mood when he is around younger siblings, as he may not always recognise his own strength. But these outbursts blow over as quickly as they arise, [...]
Hidden traits
[..] His extreme sensitivity to criticism which may be expressed outwardly as scorn for the opinions or advice of others is something which parents need to be able to
talk about with him as soon as he is at an age when he can communicate some of his feelings. John P. needs [...]
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.
As a reflection of his intensely individualistic nature, John P.'s greatest need in relation to others is to be adored and recognised as special and unique. Although the means by which he pursues attention and affirmation may sometimes be indirect
(sulks, moods, or uncharacteristic [...]
[..] Even if John P.'s father feels anything but artistic or mystical, nevertheless the son attaches some sense of romantic mystery
to his father and a great deal of idealism will colour his love. Whereas some sons want their fathers to be heroic and successful, John P. loves [...]
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.
