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 Bob'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 Bob, helping him to develop his personality along the lines which are healthiest and most natural to him.
[..] Emotionally loaded lines such as "If you don't do what I want you're a selfish and unfeeling child," and high-handed commands like "Do it because I say so", delivered in an effort to push him into what you think is the right sort of behaviour, may backfire badly as Bob grows [...] 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 Bob's inner story is the source of energy which provides the impetus for growth, movement and the formation of a healthy individuality.
[..] If he is unable to find the magic he seeks amidst the tasks and disappointments of ordinary life, he may on occasion retreat into a fantasy-world of his own creation. If he feels very upset and threatened, he may become withdrawn and
melancholy, preferring to stay in bed [...]
[..] It is far better for family members to be open about their
conflicts, for then Bob can learn to distinguish his own feelings from those of others. He is also deeply responsive to harmony and beauty. Coarseness, violence and brutality whether physical or emotional, subtle [...]
Hidden traits
[..] This less developed side can offer a much needed realism and resilience, if it is understood and encouraged to develop. Here are
hidden all those powerful instinctual and emotional needs which, because they are so raw and intense, can cause Bob conflict as he develops. [...]
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.
[..] Deep attachment to parents and family members is not, of course, contingent on whether Bob is bored or not. But parents will find life easier if they can
understand and respond to his need for a playful and imaginative level of interchange. The emotional bonds which link [...]
[..] Through the relationship Bob is instinctively trying to internalise an archetypal image of
masculinity as a force for creative and progressive thinking. If he is able to find enough of this quality of independent expression in his father, he will grow up to express a healthy [...]
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.
