Introduction

"There are stars whose radiance is visible on earth though they have long been extinct. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world though they are no longer among the living. These lights are

particularly bright when the night is dark." -- Hannah Senesh

This report has been written to introduce you to the concepts of astrology and how to get started with a

child's natal chart. Astrology is a complex and meaningful science which takes years to study and apply

successfully; however, we would like to whet your appetite with this report, and encourage you to deepen

your understanding through other means.

Astrology is a study of the connection between planets and life on Earth. It is based on a concept that

energy patterns form between other planets and Earth and that these energies affect our lives as individuals

and communities.

An astrological chart, also known as a horoscope, natal chart, or birth chart, records the relationship

between the planets and the signs of the Zodiac. Charts can be calculated for the birth of a person, a

community, an event or anything that seems momentous. The horoscope is as individual and unique as a

fingerprint.

The aim of this report is to act as a guide for parents and mentors of children. All parents want the best for

their children. We want our children to live happy and fulfilled lives. All mentors and teachers would like

to see children reach their full potential. This can be achieved by recognising and accepting each child's

individual gifts and weaknesses. In accepting these traits, we can help our children overcome obstacles and

provide them with as many opportunities as possible to develop their talents.

5

The journey from babyhood to adulthood is full of joys and challenges. This report is intended to help

parents and mentors to support and encourage their children through the difficult times and to provide

them with as much love and joy as possible. Then childhood can become a true foundation for a rewarding

and joyful adult life. Both children and their parents can be satisfied with a strong and healthy emotional

bond, happy memories and many possibilities for future success.

When using these interpretations, please bear in mind that, inevitably, every chart will contain some

contradictory influences and, as a result, certain interpretations of different items in the same chart may

seem difficult to reconcile. However, this may still be an accurate reflection of a child's chart, as it is likely

that any child will experience conflicting desires, events and circumstances in their life. Usually it is the

responsibility of an astrologer to synthesise these apparent contradictions in order to present a cohesive

and meaningful interpretation of the dilemmas of the chart. Any advice given is meant to be an aid and the

author and publisher accept no liability for any adverse effects of this report.

Family and Friends

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength while loving someone deeply gives you courage."

-- Lao Tso

The Moon

The Moon tells you about your children's emotional nature and basic needs. It is also the key to how they

experience intimacy in relationships. The Moon tells you about your children's relationship with their

mother, how they experience their mother's nurturing. As a result it can also give you insights on how to

best nurture your children as babies and maturing young adults. When a child feels safe and has their

basic needs met, they are better able to achieve their goals later in life.

The Moon is in Cancer

Young William thoroughly enjoys the warmth and comfort of his mother's womb and may be reluctant to

be born, resulting in a late or induced birth. Baby William forms a close bond with mother and enjoys lots

of cuddles and affection, crying when these are withdrawn no matter what the reason. For this reason a

close woman relative or friend may play a significant role in young William's life, taking over when

mother is tired or required elsewhere. Parents and baby William may enjoy the benefits of a baby sling,

which keeps young William warm and comforted while giving a caring adult some flexibility of

movement. As a young child William continues to cling to the comfort and safety of mother and close

family relatives. This is a child who needs to be gently encouraged to widen his experiences, rather than

being thrust into the larger world. As such William may find comfort in a particular cuddly toy or a

comfort blanket, which can be taken to childcare, kindergarten or even school.

7

On a slightly different note, William is attracted to water. This can be positive, as bath time and other safe

water activities can be a source of joy. However, parents also need to be wary around swimming pools,

perhaps even teaching William to swim at a young age as an added safety measure. Cubby houses, soft

cuddly toys, and dolls can be a source of fun and comfort for William. He enjoys playing with well-known

family members of the same age, or one or two familiar friends, whereas large and new groups may be a

bit overpowering. Dolls, a doll's house, doll's crib, cuddly toys, bath toys, play cooking utensils, and books

about families may be a source of comfort. A calm and cuddly pet may also be of great benefit. William

may also enjoy fun cooking lessons at a young age.

The Moon is in the 7th House

From the moment of birth William forms a close bond with his mother. Perhaps William has special needs

that require his mother's considerable attention, or perhaps he holds a special charm for his mother. Either

way this bond with his mother is likely to have an important influence on his life and relationships. A

nourishing, loving union with mother results in a confident and charming child. For this reason it is

important that William's mother has a balanced approach to parenting, showing as much love and affection

as possible, but also setting realistic limits. Otherwise there is a possibility that young William can become

spoilt and overly dependent on his mother if over protected. Alternatively, William could become fiercely

independent if mother is too emotionally distant. The sign of William's Moon influences the likelihood of

dependence or independence. A child with a Moon in the sign of Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini, or

Aquarius is more likely to develop independence. However, a child with a Moon in the signs of Libra,

Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn may want to hold on much longer and need some

encouragement to explore the world. Of course there is no need for mother to worry. She needs simply to

take note of the fact that it is her role to teach young William how to relate to other people in a healthy

manner. As a result William's natural charm and love of people is allowed to develop, as well as his

independence. This is a child who delights in the company of others and knows how to relate to people of

all ages.

Venus

The planet Venus describes your children's personal relationships with family and friends. Like a Moon,

Venus is important in describing how your child prefers to interact. This planet also gives vital

information about your child's receptivity to love. This is important because a child feels loved in different

ways. Some children feel cherished when loved ones are paying them lots of attention, whereas others feel

8

most loved when given the freedom to go their separate ways. Therefore gaining an understanding of the

planet Venus in your child's chart can give you insights into how to encourage rewarding relationships

with family and friends.

Venus is in Taurus

Loved ones play an integral role in William's life. The planet Venus is very comfortable in the sign of

Taurus and therefore relationships with other people are a strength on which William can rely throughout

his life. As a youngster, William enjoys cuddles and physical closeness with family and friends. Cuddly

toys, a warm and comfortable home and a safe and inviting garden provide the ideal environment for

young William to share with friends and family. Home comforts are important. William attracts loyal

friends and all of the good things in life. The number of doting family members and friends may surprise

parents. In turn William is a loyal and true friend, sometimes stubborn in his defence of a close friend. He

enjoys social gatherings and is a real charmer at such events. This is a positive child with a love of people.

His only challenge is to avoid becoming too comfortable in his environment. This could lead to laziness, a

fear of change, or a need to become attached to loved ones rather than explore new opportunities on his

own. Parents need to encourage young William to open up to new activities and social events, showing

him the benefits of independence. He is likely to enjoy dressing up, painting, singing and writing; perhaps

also gardening or taking care of a faithful pet. William may have a particular talent for singing, ballet, art,

or the theatre, which needs to be nurtured. Perhaps he simply has a love for the arts or music, which can be

encouraged at home. Either way William is an amiable child, capable of forming long-lasting bonds with

friends and family.

Venus is in the 5th House

William is a light-hearted and fun-loving child, who enjoys interacting with other children and family

members. Family and friends enjoy William's company. There is no shortage of people wanting to take

little William on outings. William particularly enjoys any activity linked with beauty or art such as being

able to dress up in beautiful clothes or going out to a colourful theatre performance. He may have a talent

for music, art, dance, theatre or an artistic craft. This depends on the sign of Venus. A child with Venus in

the signs of Leo, Pisces, Libra or Taurus is more likely to have an artistic bent. A child with Venus in the

other signs of the zodiac is more likely to express this creative streak in a different manner.

William enjoys playing games and having fun, perhaps avoiding taking part in his share of the daily

9

chores. Little William is either too busy entertaining himself or too focused on his own creative projects to

respond to other people's demands. Although William likes to play with other children, he is not so keen to

share his belongings. He prefers to make the most of his friend's resources rather than share his own.

Parents need to teach young William the benefits of sharing. However, this is a minor point. On the whole,

William is an easy-going child with a penchant for having the finer things in life.

10

Talents and Schooling

"Dance like no one is watching. Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt and live like

it's heaven on Earth." -- Mark Twain

The Sun

The Sun represents your child's identity. It describes your child's basic personality traits and their talents.

It also tells you how your children think of themselves; how they need to express themselves; how they

need to shine in their lives; how they feel alive. It is the centre of a child's self-expression. The Sun can

also tell us about a child's father.

The Sun is in Cancer

The family nest plays an important role in the life of a Cancer Sun sign child. William enjoys interacting

with family members, particularly those with a gentle and loving approach. In fact it's likely that extended

family members, as well as close ones, play an important role in supporting William during babyhood,

childhood and perhaps even in his adult life. William's father may also play a prominent nurturing role in

his life. William is a sensitive child. If allowed to develop in a safe and nurturing environment, William

blossoms and develops a talent for caring for other people. However, if William does not feel safe in his

environment, he can become quiet, and perhaps shy. You may see little William shyly standing in the

background waiting for his turn. He needs to be gently nudged in the right direction so that he can have his

turn to shine. Little William also need to be guided into activities outside of the family home. For instance,

leaving the warmth and safety of home to start school can be somewhat threatening for William. At these

11

times William needs extra support from loved ones. When upset William may withdraw into a world of his

own. Once again some time out can be a good thing, but William needs to be urged to express his feelings

and move on. William needs to be encouraged to express his feelings in an appropriate manner, while

discouraged from sulking behaviour. This, of course, does depend rather heavily on William's Moon sign.

A Fire or Air Moon enables William to express his feelings, whereas a watery or earth Moon may

emphasise his tendency to withdraw. Either way loved ones enhance William's young life enabling him to

achieve his goals. William values a loving family, and strives to create a warm and safe environment for

loved ones throughout his life. This talent is displayed in whatever path he chooses.

The Sun is in the 7th House

William likes to relate to other people on an intimate level. As a baby he forms a strong bond with loved

ones. These attachments develop as he grows older, teaching young William much about the adult world.

Large social gatherings are not necessarily important but personal relationship that enable William to

explore the nuances of human relationships are. As well as developing his own personal bonds with

friends and family members, young William closely observes the manner in which surrounding adults

relate to each other. He learns from watching the behaviour of his parents, in particular his father. For this

reason it is important that William's parents teach the value of healthy, positive relationships, through their

own behaviour. It is also important that young William learns to express himself. He needs to feel free to

interact with loved ones in a way that is open, honest and nurturing. He has a real talent for understanding

human relationships, which could be developed later in life through teaching, counselling or diplomacy.

Mercury

The planet Mercury describes your children's intellectual abilities. The sign and placement of Mercury

can describe whether or not your child finds it easy to concentrate at school. Your child may be a

daydreamer or have great concentration. Your child may be shy or interact easily with other people.

Either way it is possible to boost your child's self-esteem by choosing study methods and schooling that

suits their needs rather than forcing them to fit into an alien environment. Gaining an understanding of the

planet Mercury can help in these matters.

Mercury is in Gemini

This is a powerful placement for the planet Mercury. Both Mercury and the sign Gemini depict strengths

in interaction and academic pursuits. The combination portrays a youngster with formidable intellectual

12

prowess. William is a real little scholar. He enjoys stimulation from an early age and is keen to talk and

read as early as possible. Parents and mentors do well to surround young William with books, educational

and fun videos/DVDs, computers, television, puzzles, games and anything that supports his zest for

learning. William also enjoys the sound of his own voice literally, so a tape recorder can be a great

investment! The only concern could be parental exhaustion leading to the temptation to allow William too

much time in front of the television or on mindless computer games.

Young William enjoys talking with his friends and family, asking endless questions and seeking

satisfactory answers. He has a real talent for communicating with people of all ages ranging from his own

friends to elderly relatives. William is charming, coquettish, and a chatterbox! He enjoys the stimulation of

pre-school and school, although he may be a little restless in a more traditional, structured school

environment. William thrives when he has the ability to exercise his agile mind rather than if he is forced

to conform to routine study. Parents, teachers and mentors need to encourage William's natural curiosity

while also teaching him to persist at one task.

William can be interested in so many things that he has difficulty persisting with one project. Once he has

learnt persistence then he can excel at anything he sets his mind to.

Mercury is in the 6th House

Now here is a child who likes to be busy. The saying "busy hands make a light heart" could be little

William's motto. He is curious about everything that happens in the household, eager to take part in daily

chores. William is not necessarily a tidy child, but rather he likes to have plenty of projects on the go.

Often he can be found juggling two or more activities such as doing a floor puzzle while watching

television. Parents or mentors need to be available to teach William all manner of tasks. He can be quite

handy with his hands and benefits from learning "handyman" tasks from a young age. In other words

William's intelligence needs to find a practical outlet or he feels very frustrated. Once young William has

mastered a task, he can be quite critical of the way others do things. Parents may find it amusing to watch

William try to teach his peers how to do certain tasks. He is quite the little expert. The challenge is for

William to complete one task before starting another. Juggling many ideas or tasks sometimes results in all

of the balls dropping. Parents and mentors need to support William's efforts while encouraging him to

discern between what is important and what is not.

13

Goals

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." -- Eleanor Roosevelt

The Ascendant

The Ascendant, or Rising Sign as it's sometimes called, is considered to be an important component of an

astrology chart. Ancient astrologers believed that the Ascendant depicted a person's primary motivation.

Some believed that it was one of the links to discovering what makes a person happy. It could be said that

when we're accomplishing our primary motivation then we're happy. By gaining knowledge of a child's

Ascendant and discovering this child's primary motivation in life, parents and mentors can then help them

achieve their goals. Caring adults can encourage the child with love and support. In turn your child

experiences a sense of happiness and fulfilment.

The Ascendant is in Sagittarius

William is likely to actively seek his purpose in life, taking the initiative rather than waiting until

circumstances are comfortable. Sagittarius is a Mutable sign denoting versatility, flexibility, adaptability,

sensitivity, restlessness, indecision and anxiety. However, it is also a Fire sign depicting a need for action

and enterprise.

As a baby William is easy going, enjoying the adventures of daily life. William enjoys plenty of

stimulation. As a child, William is open-minded, honest, idealistic, jovial, impulsive and at times a deep

thinker. Why and how questions are likely to abound, testing parents' knowledge. All being well this child

14

views life as a continual adventure with many exciting lessons. He enjoys playing with other children and

testing out the playground equipment. He also benefits from books. William's irrepressible enthusiasm is

irresistible, and others are keen to join his adventures. At times William may be a little headstrong

exhausting himself and his parents. However, William's primary motivation is for adventure and this needs

to be encouraged within reason. William needs plenty of freedom to explore the wonders of the world into

which he has been born.

Mars

Ambition and drive, like many traits, can be powerful positive forces in your children’s lives, helping them

achieve their dreams. Too much ambition can hinder your child’s ability to collaborate. On the other

hand, without motivation your child may not be able to establish a healthy sense of self and successfully

leave home and family. Studying Mars, the planet of drive and energy, assists parents and mentors. Mars

describes vitality in your child’s birth chart. If our children are free to pursue their own dreams and

ambitions, their joie de vivre is a wonderful thing to see. By understanding the placement of Mars in your

child’s chart, you can help support their goals. You gain insight into whether or not your child lacks

motivation in certain areas and why. You can also see if your child has an excess of passion. As a result

you can either patiently try to motivate your child, or you can provide plenty of stimulation and direction.

Mars is in Libra

The astrological placement of the planet Mars in the sign of Libra is not an easy one for young William.

The fiery energy of Mars clashes somewhat with the Libran need for harmony. In other words young

William finds it difficult to balance his need for harmony with his need for moving forward with his own

goals. Any sign of conflict is likely to deter young William from reaching his full potential.

From a young age William is sensitive to the emotional nature of the relationships of loved ones. Even the

smallest of arguments between parents or mentors has an upsetting effect because he is concerned that his

own actions may be upsetting other people. He needs to be taught how to realise his own dreams, despite

the external influences. William is more motivated to help other friends and loved ones reach their full

potential rather than to pursue his own dreams. Of course, this can mean that William has real talents as a

diplomat, social worker or events organiser later in life; however, as a youngster parents and mentors need

to encourage him to experience the satisfaction of achieving for himself rather than pleasing others.

Parents and mentors need to be fair in their treatment of their own loved ones and in their behaviour

15

towards William. They also need to make sure that young William is pleasing himself in his choice of

tasks. It may be of interest to note that William is motivated by aesthetic appeal rather than material

matters. Beauty and design are important. William is motivated to pursue something more for its inventive

or artistic appeal rather than its material value. This may be an appreciation of other people's talents or

William may have artistic talents of his own in the field of the arts, fashion or design.

Mars is in the 10th House

William makes an impact on his family as soon as he is born and continues to do so throughout his

childhood development. William is unlikely to enjoy the family home environment, preferring to explore

further afield. Of course this depends on other aspects of William’s birth chart. However, it is likely that

he enjoys the stimulation of outings to public places, rather than remaining home with loved ones. William

is eager to go to school, working hard to achieve his desired results. He needs to be free to pursue his own

course in his school and social life wherever possible, rather than have too much parental interference.

Young William has definite life goals and knows how to pursue them, even if this means being involved in

a little conflict along the way. Conflict is not a problem for William, although it may be for those around

him. Independence is his middle name and woe betide anyone who stands in his way. Parents and mentors

need to give young William plenty of freedom while teaching him the value of gaining co-operation from

others in order to achieve his goals. Once this lesson is learnt then young William is likely to continue

making an impact on those around him for a very long time.

16

Childhood Journey

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wouldn't it be ideal if we could isolate one trait in our personalities, capture it in a glass for observation

and dissection? Of course this is not possible. Neither is it possible for us to isolate one part of a birth

chart. The different aspects of our children's birth charts intermingle in a complex manner to make the

little person that we know and love. However, it is possible for us to influence the development of our

children, to support them in their journey. The aim of this section is to give vital clues for parents and

mentors on how to guide, but not coerce, the development of your child.

The Sun is Conjunct The Moon

A sunny natured child, William shines under the influence of this combination of the Sun and Moon. His

mother and father agree that young William is special and together they decide on the best methods of

raising their wonderful child. William is fortunate to spend his early childhood under the nurturing

influence of parental harmony. As a result William develops a natural curiosity and has the confidence to

explore his environment. William enjoys new adventures and quickly adapts to changing routines. In fact

William's eagerness to discover new horizons may leaad him into a few scrapes. His parents need to offer

young William plenty of freedom, but also keep a watchful eye to make sure he explores within safe

limits.

17

Jupiter is Trine The Moon

William is an amiable baby and a co-operative child. He finds pleasure in his relationship with his parents,

in particular his mother or another mother figure in his young life. As a result young William is socially

secure and feels that the world is a bountiful place. William enjoys pleasing other people, especially

important women in his life. In return William receives much affection and many favours from mother or

other significant women. William's optimistic outlook on life also attracts positive attention from other

people. Social occasions are a joy with popular young William around. Friends and family members enjoy

bestowing gifts. All in all life is pretty good for young William.

William is also likely to find emotional satisfaction from learning. As a result, he is self-motivated when it

comes to his school work. This, of course, depends on other aspects of William's birth chart. However, it is

likely that William finds life rewarding, passing with ease through each new stage of childhood with very

little effort on the part of his parents.

Mars is Square The Moon

The combination of the planet Mars and the Moon is fiery and emotional. Young William is likely to have

plenty of energy and determination from a young age. A lively child, he delights in exploring new

activities. He is independent and does not need the company of other children to keep him amused. Parents

delight in the initiative shown by young William. They may not be so delighted by William's tendency for

temper tantrums. William really knows how to throw a tantrum. These fits of temper are mostly likely to

erupt when William's path is obstructed or when his desires are opposed. The positive note is that these

outbursts are likely to erupt in a flash and disappear just as quickly. The irony of this situation is that

William is particularly sensitive to other people's anger, in particular his mother's or other important

women in his young life. William may also react more strongly to mother's attempts to instil discipline,

rather than parenting efforts of father. It is also possible that mother has a temper of her own and clashes

with her young charge.

William benefits most when independence is encouraged. He needs freedom within safe boundaries.

William also needs to be encouraged to express his emotions in an appropriate manner. William enjoys

activities which provide an outlet for his abundant energy. Individual sports, outdoor games or martial arts

may be of benefit.

18

Jupiter is Trine The Sun

William is a sunny and optimistic child with an infectious smile and joie de vivre. Baby William is

welcomed into a warm and loving family. William's father, or grandfather, is particularly excited by his

birth and a warm and loving bond results. William responds well to his father's praise, or to the positive

comments of any male parental figure. He may share a close bond with his grandfather. These positive

childhood relationships with adult males augur well for William's relationships with men throughout his

life. A generous child, William enjoys new experiences and adventures. He has no trouble playing with

other children, sharing his toys. In fact his infectious personality attracts many playmates. William is kind

and helpful and, depending on other factors in his birth chart, is likely to be a contented and well-loved

child.

Pluto is Trine The Sun

William is a powerful child, challenging himself and those who love him to stand up and take notice of

life's abundance. He is curious and keen to explore new territory. If extroverted then young William is

likely to end up in trouble as a result of his curiosity and resulting adventures into the outside world. He is

a real character, a regular Tom Sawyer or Pippi Longstocking. However, a more introverted child may

simply enjoy spending time on his own studying the inner workings of toys, nature and/or household

equipment.

From the moment of birth William's father plays a pivotal role in his life. His childhood relationship with

father, or a strong father figure, determines the extent to which he feels able to carve his own niche later in

life. William is likely to adore his father as a young child. As the patriarch of the family he earns respect of

those surrounding him. A growing child keenly notices this. However, there may be a time when this

adoration is transformed by a sense of betrayal. This is not necessarily within father's control. No-one can

live up to God-like expectations. However, he can make sure that William feels supported as much as

possible.

Both William and his father have strong personalities and therefore they clash, each determined to express

their own views or have their own way. It is important that William's father shows self-restraint, otherwise

these clashes could become violent. He needs to ensure that young William is kept safe, away from

emotional, verbal and physical abuse. In other words William's father needs to provide a safe environment

in which he and William can both assert their own wills and gain greater understanding of themselves and

19

each other. If this is not achieved then young William loses a sense of his own identity and cowers in the

face of adversity. He eventually rebels, probably in his teenage years. However, if William's father can

allow him the freedom to develop his own powerful personality then young William is likely to develop

great personal power, the ability to lead others and to achieve his own goals.

The theme of death can also play an important role under this influence. Young William is both more

sensitive to the grief process and also more able to grow in strength through this process, be it the death of

a family member or the death of a pet.

Uranus is Quincunx The Sun

From the moment William is born, family life takes a different direction. In fact even his birth may have

taken his parents by surprise and challenged family members to make changes. William is one of a kind.

He is a restless baby, fed up with inactivity and eager to be on the move. It is true that William is easily

bored. He quickly outgrows activities, friends and even family members. He may not enjoy cuddles and

the safety of a warm home, but rather takes pleasure in exploring new things. William enjoys doing things

on his own, as well as playing with others. However, he is more likely to be a leader than a follower. He is

also likely to be impulsive and determined to have his own way. Young William can be quite stubborn.

This can cause friction with any adult in a position of responsibility, particularly men.

William's father, or a father figure, plays an important role in his life. In some cases his father may have an

unusual occupation or hobby that takes him away from his family responsibilities. Or perhaps William's

father is absent at a crucial stage of his development. As a result William may become rebellious, even

uncontrollable for a period. In other cases, it may simply be that his father is an independent person

capable of encouraging William's independent spirit in a positive manner. It is important that William's

father provide safe limits for little William's explorations so that he can discover new activities without

taking unnecessary risks. William's father, or a father figure, needs to have an abundance of patience as he

tests the limits.

Neptune is Opposite The Sun

William is a creative child, who longs for a close and caring relationship with his father or a man who can

act as a father figure. William is also a sensitive child who needs gentle support by an important man in his

life. It is also possible that he has an artistic talent or an interest in spirituality that ideally needs to be

20

nurtured by a father figure.

This is a child who needs to be encouraged by his father to trust his own instincts. Harsh discipline could

cause such a gentle natured child to become cowardly and frightened. Rather he needs his father to help

nurture his innate talents and interests. One of the challenges with this influence is that William's father

seems destined to play a less prominent role in his life, than perhaps a grandfather or his mother. Perhaps

William's father is unable to provide this close, supportive emotional bond through circumstances beyond

his control such as his profession demanding frequent absences from home. If this is the case then 1%’s

father needs to be particularly sensitive to William’s needs when he is present. William's father can

emphasise his role in William's childhood development by supporting him in any artistic or spiritual

pursuits. William may also enjoy taking part in water activities with his father. Swimming, building

sandcastles by the ocean, fishing, canoeing, and snorkeling are just a few options. He could also create

special times where father and child retreat from the world and relax in a secluded environment. Young

William may also benefit from having one or more special photographs of his father in his room.

Whatever the circumstances it is important that some gentle means can be found to provide young William

with a positive male influence. Otherwise he is likely to develop attention-getting traits such as bed-

wetting, minor illnesses and sulking. Perhaps a male member of the extended family, a teacher at school,

or a mentoring program could be of help. This way William's creative and compassionate nature can be

encouraged. Fantasy stories, musical instruments and recordings, paints and crayons, time spent in nature

and dance can all play a positive part in helping young William shine in the world. Other aspects of

William's birth chart could affect this planetary influence. For further information about the exact nature of

this astrological signature it may help to consult a qualified astrologer on a one-to-one basis.

Saturn is Trine Mercury

Now here's a child who needs a lot of approval and support, particularly from his father or an important

male mentor. The more love and kindness that William receives, the more he is able to express himself in

his daily life with confidence. The reason for this is that the combination of the planets Saturn and

Mercury can be a difficult one, presenting some pitfalls in early childhood development. In other words

young William may face difficulties in his ability to learn and communicate. This, in turn, affects his self-

confidence.

21

William may be shy, preferring the safety of his home rather than venturing out and about. William could

be slow to talk and read. Perhaps school seems a bit overwhelming to young William. He prefers to spend

time reading in his own room rather than socialising with his friends. William is sensitive to criticism,

particularly any harsh words from his father or a prominent male member of the family. On the other hand

William slowly blossoms when praised by his father. He also responds well to a male mentor's patient

words of wisdom. William needs a slow, methodical approach when being given any instructions. He

works better within a structured environment. With calm handling William gradually gains self-

understanding and a wisdom that is beyond his years. Another positive note that is most of William's

learning difficulties are experienced in his early youth. As he matures, social and communication skills

and study becomes easier. It is almost as if William is born with a greater intelligence that needs to be

carefully nurtured during childhood in order for it to be fully expressed as he matures.

As William grows older, he is likely to excel in a specialised subject of his choice. His selection of topic

depends on other aspects of his birth chart. Parents need to make sure that William is able to choose his

own study topics as much as is possible. Excessive parental control could have a detrimental effect,

eroding William's budding self-confidence. It is interesting to note that the famous scientist Albert Einstein

experienced learning difficulties at school, and yet later rose to prominence in his field. Einstein had a

powerful combination (conjunction) of the planets Saturn and Mercury in his birth chart. The strength of

this association depends on the nature of the astrological link. Parents may wish to consult an astrologer.

Pluto is Sesquisquare Mercury

William is an insightful child who likes to understand what motivates people. Rather than enjoying

learning things for the sake of trying something new, William likes to pull them apart and discover what

makes them work. This can include anything such as dismantling a complex mechanical toy or simply

pulling the head off a much beloved doll to see what is underneath. It can also include asking embarrassing

questions of family members in order to understand a loved one's motives. William is not trying to be

difficult, although his methods of learning are a little unusual. He merely wants to understand all things

hidden.

William needs to be encouraged to explore his environment; even if he does have unusual methods at time.

He is sensitive to criticism and easily feels rejected if his parents or mentors express disapproval. This can

result in a lack of self-assurance. William is scared to try new things for fear of being chastised. Therefore

22

parents and mentors need to encourage William's endeavours by teaching him in a direct and forthright

manner. William does not respond well to coercion or force. He also challenges any untruths. William

comprehends hidden meanings and responds best to the truth. William may also appreciate toys and

activities that can be researched, engineered and constructed. Parents and mentors need to ensure that

William's entry into school is as smooth as possible, perhaps even explaining to teachers in advance that

William is a serious and unique student. William needs to be protected from harsh teachers because he is

likely to clash. He needs tolerant teachers who can successfully avoid a clash of wills. With the right

direction, William is a potent force.

Uranus is Opposite Venus

William needs plenty of liberty to express his independence. Naturally inquisitive, he does not like to be

tied down, but prefers to be free to explore his own interests. As such William's parents need to be very

flexible with routines and social engagements.

William is easily bored and liable to get into trouble until he learns some self-control. He is a unique little

individual with many and varied interests and friends. William also has a tendency to act first and think

later. This results in some exciting, if somewhat risky, adventures and activities. These may involve

electricity, chemistry, fireworks or some sort of experiment with a difference. He can enjoy adventures on

his own but usually he likes to involve his friends in his escapades. Parents need to direct William's excess

energy into lively, but safe, activities. Benefits can be gained from enrolling young William in children's

sports or social clubs.

One of the major challenges facing young William is to learn to consider the needs of family and friends.

Young William tends to ride roughshod over loved ones in his efforts to satisfy his own desires. In fact,

William is wilful and rebellious. Parents need to walk a fine line between supporting William's need for

independence and teaching him to co-operate with others. As William grows older, he needs to be free to

choose his friends and some of them might be quite unusual. Any interference from his parents is likely to

be met with mutiny. Parents would be well advised to give William his freedom, only taking a firm line if

his friendships are particularly unsavoury. He enjoys many different friends during the course of his

childhood. It takes some time for him to learn the value of commitment. This depends, of course, on other

aspects of his birth chart. In rare cases this combination of the planets Venus and Uranus can indicate a

child who has a very unusual hobby or pastime that replaces his need for playmates.

Neptune is Quincunx Venus

William is imaginative and creative but has difficulty expressing himself. His parents need to be a source

of comfort and support as young William develops, as well as inspiring him to find his passion. He is a

sensitive soul in a harsh world, and needs help in practical matters. William is happiest when spending

time with loved ones or when absorbed in a creative project. He adores passing time with family and

friends, but is particularly drawn to his mother or grandmother. He yearns to spend as much time as

possible with his mother. At times he is able to enjoy such quality time, but the demands of a daily

schedule and mother's responsibilities means that William is sometimes disappointed. He needs to be

taught about realistic expectations. Otherwise he grows up with unrealistic expectations of loved ones.

William can be encouraged to help with household chores, while being given plenty of time to develop his

imagination with books to read and outings.

William delights in escaping outdoors on nature trips such as visits to the park and the beach. He also

enjoys reading stories about fairies, goblins, dragons and other such mythical beings. In fact William is

delighted by any activity that enables him to visit imaginary realms. Parents and mentors also need to find

some positive outlets for William's imagination and talents. Art, music, dance, and the theatre may prove

to be highly beneficial. History, religion, metaphysics, photography and philanthropy may also appeal to

the maturing William. At times young William may appear to be a little lost soul, but parents need not

worry. As William matures and discovers his true passion, he shines.

Saturn is Conjunct Mars

Young William knows how to work and achieve. He has a serious side to his nature that is obvious from a

young age. This is because safety and peace of mind play an important role in William's childhood

development. He needs to feel secure and is likely to play his part in achieving a sense of accomplishment

and security. While other children are out playing William is often at work. He is organised, hard working

and honest with an ability to work methodically towards his goals. This is quite unusual in a young child.

It is important for parents to ensure that William is working to achieve his own desires rather than taking

responsibility for others in the family. There is a temptation for less responsible members of the family to

rely on young William. Parents, in particular his father, need to encourage William to have fun. William is

a practical child and may find it difficult to be frivolous and playful.

It is important that young William is able to enjoy the carefree side of childhood. The more support that he

24

receives from his father, or an important father figure, the easier William finds to adjust to the different

stages of childhood development. He may achieve a prominent position in his career later in life or prove

adept in running his own business later in life.

End Notes

”When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But

when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.” -- Mark

Twain “Bringing Up Father”

This report has been written from a child’s point of view with the aim of helping parents and mentors

better understand their youngsters. Of course, each person is ultimately responsible for their own actions,

but the support that children get early in life goes a long way to helping them live rich and rewarding

adult lives. Children need to be given the freedom to be their true selves rather than being forced to live up

to parental expectations or to fulfill parents’ own personal journeys. They need their parents to live their

own lives to the full, joyously and responsibly. Above all children need love and support

The text in this report has been written by Australian astrologer Stephanie Johnson. Stephanie has a

background in medieval astrology which can be detected in the direct style of the report. Medieval

astrologers differed from modern-day astrologers in several ways. They didn't have a psychological

approach to chart interpretation, but took a much more literal approach. They were concerned with the

fortunes of an individual, whether a person would survive or not, and whether or not the person would

experience good or failing fortunes. The author's particular area of interest in Esoteric astrology can be

mainly detected in the section labelled "Purpose and Joy". In Esoteric astrology the purpose of an

individual is linked to the soul. In other words it is believed that our souls determine our sense of purpose

in the world, motivating us to put our gifts to good purpose.
