We don't give birth to a blank slate ready to be written upon; we give birth to a precious and vulnerable new spirit. This new being has its own unique sense of vitality and purpose (shown by the Sun) and arrives with its own emotional responses and needs (shown by the Moon) already built into its psyche.
They may also have special skills or talents, which can't be fruitfully nurtured unless we are first aware they exist.
Our children are born with their own values and ways of relating, their own type of understanding and communicating.
Children are also born with their own brand of survival instinct. Their way may not be our way!
Each type of energy within an individual seeks an appropriate outlet for its positive expression. The child with a strong Mars, who has no outlet for his athletic abilities, may soon become disruptive or overly boisterous.
The child with a sensitive Moon, unless encouraged to express his emotions, may become withdrawn or sullen. The child with no vehicle for his artistic expression may become the graffiti artist of tomorrow...and so the list goes on.
Not only is astrology a valuable tool in helping you to understand your child, it can also provide a priceless insight into how compatible you are. By knowing this, you can identify any potential areas of future conflict, along with answers as to how such conflict might be avoided.
