Zodiac Child - A Guide for Understanding the Natural Features of Your Child - Maggie Kerr AAT
A few words about babies and Sun signs.
The Sun sign describes the qualities and attributes we carry as potential, which we grow into rather than how we necessarily are when we are small. A baby responds more from its Moon sign for the first 7 years, and these are the qualities of the Mother. The Sun sign tells us of the Father qualities, and it is his ‘messages’ and behaviours that will condition the potential of your child as their Sun Sign. So what you read below offers you the chance to support your special new family member toward their adult potential.
Note: The dates for each sign vary slightly over a four year period. So if you child is born on a ‘cusp’ between 2 signs you may need to consult an Astrologer for the exact position of their Sun.
ARIES - Mar 22nd to Apr 20th
As Aries is the beginning of the Zodiac system these kids are here to initiate and pioneer new enterprises and they love nothing better than challenges that motivate and inspire. Following things through however, is another matter so encourage patience and ‘looking before they leap’ as their natural fire is spontaneous and brave. These qualities need supporting by nurturing courage and confidence. They need a ‘safe will’ to allow assertiveness rather than aggression, and their life lesson is co-operation and allowing others to support at the same time as allowing independence.
TAURUS - Apr 21st to May 21st
These gentle sensual beings are the ‘naturals’ whose purpose on the planet is to create beautiful environments that nourish and endure. They need lots of touch and cuddles with singing, musical instruments, art and gardening, areas that will bring out the best in them. They need to feel worthwhile and valuable to support long term outcomes. They are the ‘accumulators’ of the Zodiac so keep their food moderate, and encourage them to give things away sometimes. These are also the ‘money people’ who often work in financial fields, so a money box will go down very well!
GEMINI - May 21st to June 21st
As these Mercurial souls are the communicator networkers of our world get ready for early walking and talking, with ‘why?’ a feature you’d better have some answers for! They need to be offered many different ideas and encouraged to have their own opinion and be free to offer it, at the same time as listening to others and not talking too much. Their hands are busy and creative so crafts are great and they will love lots of ‘movement’ such as gymnastics and driving just about anything…planes, trains and cars. Siblings and the ‘neighbourhood’ are very important to them in their busy lives.
CANCER - June 22nd to July 22nd
The need for home and family is integral for these emotionally driven kids, so making sure they feel ‘safe’ is all important. And as they often don’t stray too far from home base, encouraging independence is needed so they can ‘leave home safely’ as healthy, nurturing adults. It can be tricky to keep up with the many different moods in a day so help them to identify their feelings and not be at the mercy of them…for all your sakes! They must learn to take responsibility for their actions to enable their natural strength and endurance to shine through.
LEO - July 23rd to Aug 23rd
These passionate joyous beings are the motivators and leaders of the Zodiac, who need to be shown that life is a joyous affair and they are free to express theirs. They need recognition and approval, especially from Dad, to build a ‘safe ego’ that is free to release their creative spirit without becoming overly dramatic and ego-inflated… downsides of this commanding sign if they don’t enough positive attention. Their natural passion needs channelling into drama and the arts or ‘group’ activities, where their radiating magnetic qualities can attract the best of what life has on offer.
VIRGO - Aug 24th to Sept 23rd
Ever practical and non-assuming Virgo carries the urge to serve and organise as their primary qualities. They love routines and knowing where everything is and need to analyse information and situations carefully before responding or making moves, so encouraging spontaneity and just ‘having a go at things’ is important to help them trust the Universe along the way, rather than plan everything too much and believe they have to ‘be perfect’ in all ways. Health areas and small animals are part of their destiny, so you may have a doctor, naturopath or vet in your midst.
LIBRA - Sept 24th to Oct 23rd
‘Lovely Libra’ is the sign of peace, harmony and balance…qualities they will work to achieve in all manner of relationships for all of their lives. These are designers and architects and love fashion and looking great, so get used to several wardrobe changes before they step out! They also work hard for social justice and are natural diplomats and counsellors. They need to learn to ‘assert for their own needs’ rather than always complying and compromising with others to ‘be loved and accepted’. This helps their independence rather than co-dependence which can be a downside here.
SCORPIO - Oct 24th to Nov 22nd
Sensitive, deep and intense, these powerful souls must learn to trust others to see inside their true nature, which is very beautiful once they are shown that vulnerability is OK. They often guard this you see, with displays of coolness or reserve so always stick to your word and never betray them by revealing their secrets. They love to research hidden secretive information to enable their understanding of ‘true power’ so they can transform and empower themselves and others as part of their destiny. Business wise they are money people, or may work in psychological areas.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23rd to Dec 21st
Sagittarians are the traveller adventurers of the Zodiac, outgoing and optimistic, enthusiastic and gifted with a guardian angel who gets them out of all sorts of scrapes. Your job is to teach the difference between recklessness and risk and all will be well, although they’ll be asking for plane rides early in the piece. They will love learning, and need to be introduced to philosophies and different religions so they can fashion their own set of beliefs…with tolerance for others as a keynote! And on this note they need to think before they speak…which could be quite a challenge.
CAPRICORN - Jan.1st to 20th. + Dec 22nd to 30th
These serious determined characters are the builders of our world and will work incredibly hard once they have a clear goal in place, if they are supported by believing they have ‘the right to achieve success’. Highly responsible by nature they can be a bit too much so, and need to learn to allow others to do their own thing without having to control things and people. Learning to play and have fun is really important, and their great dry sense of humour will pop out at the most unexpected times! These are the future movers and shapers of corporate and government power.
AQUARIUS - Jan.21st to Feb. 19th
Highly individual, and prone to loving the unusual and different people and experiences of life, your humanitarian child is destined to be a ‘seed planter’ who dares to change the world with their vision and ideas. Often a ‘loner’, it is important to tell them ‘you can be close without loosing your freedom’. Their trend setting ways mean they love to be ahead of their time so nurture their ‘strange ideas’, and offer them science fiction and history as these are their passion…”beam me up Scotty”. Technology and the sciences will also feature large in their worldly outcomes.
PISCES - Feb 20th to Mar 21st
These profoundly sensitive kids are the mediums and messengers from the unseen realms, which take the form of art, photography, poetry and a highly developed intuition that allows them to ‘sense’ people and situations. Thus they need to learn boundaries and to be who they are, rather than who they think others want them to be. Extremely compassionate they will tend to ‘rescue’ others who are victims, which is great as long as they don’t play the victim themselves. Your job is to help them learn when and who to take care of, and they make great nurses and psychologists.
