I. Introduction

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.

Hidden traits

[..] His self-confidence may sometimes plunge into darkly doubting and insecure moods which he may find very hard to share. And his imagination, usually disregarded when it comes to dealing with ordinary reality, may sometimes overwhelm him with fantasies of magical places and [...]

IV. Emotional Needs and Patterns in Relationships

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 he 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 fair [...]

Dane has an image of his father as a true gentleman ­ a man who has refinement, courtesy and taste, and who can open up the world of beauty and gracious living to his son. Dane's father does not need to aspire to some impossible artistic or sybaritic lifestyle. But his [...]
