COMMUNICATION DIFFERS
WITH ZODIAC SIGNS

Sun and Moon

are the guides in understanding our children and their relationship with us along with other significant adults in our life.

A child's greatest strengths and challenges are described by the qualities of their Sun Sign. A Cancer child is very loving and sensitive and willing to help others, however betrayal makes the cancer child shield themselves and go back under their shell for a substantial amount of time.

As a parent you can guide your children to master the strengths of their unique personality using their brilliant qualities in a positive way.

The teen years are the stage of searching for ones identity and this can clash with personal, family and cultural influences. Children tend to incorporate others perceptions of themselves into their own self image which makes life more complex particularly for teenagers.

Low self esteem in teens is associated with aggression, depression, substance abuse and withdrawal from social circles. This is a predictor for mental health issues, alcohol and substance abuse and relationship problems in adulthood.

Whichever Sun sign your child is, you as a parent should look to bring out their best qualities and also help your child recognise their weaknesses and work on them together.

ZODIAC ELEMENTS

Water sign children are emotional and look for security before taking any steps .
Fire sign children are assertive.
Earth sign children tend to be grounded and seek means of practical expression.
Air sign children can experience life through thoughts and thrive on social interaction

Moon

The Moon tells you what it is your child needs in order to feel secure. For example a child with a Capricorn Moon is happiest when they are given their space and privacy. A child with Moon in Leo will will feel deeply hurt if parents misunderstand them.

Planet Mercury

represents thoughts and the mental process in general. The planet ruler of the third house (siblings) in Astrology is Mercury .

Children with Mercury in Fire signs think and talk simultaneously.
Children with Mercury in Air Signs can chatter away and still keep going!
Children with Mercury in Water signs may need help thinking clearly
Children with Mercury in Earth signs have a good measure of common sense.

Planet Venus

rules values and a person's sense of appreciation. When kids see things they like it is the sense of love and compassion they have for these things that shapes their sense of all things beautiful and their interaction with people.

Planet Mars

is the planet of passion and energy. A child who is seeking the meaning of their surrounding has Mars in the background playing their part in this.

Fire Signs will have outbursts of anger
Water signs hide their tears
Air signs will use their words to express their anger
Earth signs are akin to shaking a fizzy bottle and opening the lid

The house position of any planet in your child's chart will tell you what area of life they will face conflict and resolution

The Ascendant

/Rising Sign

is about appearances, first impressions. How your child wants to be perceived and perceives others. In order to locate the rising sign you must have a time of birth for your child

PARENT CHILD
ZODIAC SIGNS COMPARED

Some parents who carry emotional wounds say they do not want their kids to have the same childhood they did. The child on the other hand is born into a family where one or both parents are bringing their own childhood experiences into their parenting.

Parental views often conflict with that of their children. Children are 50% of one parent with a 50% difference. Parents make trade offs which they would not normally do in their lives but will do for their children only.

Parents INVEST their time and efforts in their kids hoping for a return on investment whilst the INVESTEES (kids) have their own goals. If we add some more investees/siblings to the family unit the family home can become a place where some of the kids expect more from the parents than the other kids.

This emotional attention seeking or cry for help can have devastating effects on families with a child becoming centre stage of the family seeking attention.

In a paper published in Psychological Health Medicine, investigators sampled

more than 2,500 children and adolescents seen in a psychiatry clinic for self-injurious behavior as well as other behavioral problems. In that study, middle children were found to be the most likely to exhibit such behavior, the researchers concluded.

Leo Child LION

These children have a strong and warm nature and make natural leaders. Their pride does not allow them to forgive or forget insults. However, they respond like cats to milk when given sincere compliments or encouragement. Encourage your Leo child to get a job done and praise them when they do.

Virgo Child MAIDEN

These children can be efficient and organised. They tend to have an incredible willingness to help others. Routine and order feel like second nature to them.

Virgos have the need to feel needed and giving them chores around the home and outside provide the children with the confidence required

Libra Child SCALES

Libra needs to have a balance in their life and being the natural peacekeepers they respond sensitively to others needs and can end up sacrificing their own happiness.

It is very important that your Libra child learns to value themself and their needs and balance this with the needs of others.

Scorpio Child SCORPIO

These children have an immense need for control in their lives and others lives too. Orders will only be taken from those whom Scorpio children deem worthy. Intuition plays a very big part in the Scorpio life so there is no point getting into a power struggle with your child. (unless you have scorpio in your chart!) Set the boundaries and teach your Scorpio the positive ways to deal with their intense feelings.

Sagittarius Child ARCHER

Sagittarians tend to have an interest in all forms of higher thought. Sagittarius children dislike pettiness. They do not like details. Open their world to exploration, whether a trip to the zoo when they are young, or a trip abroad. These children love to travel and have adventures. They will have big ideas and big dreams.

Capricorn Child GOAT

These children seem old and wise, even from a very young age. They have a maturity and wisdom well past their years. They often start working at a young age. They like to map out a plan for accomplishing their goals. They may not show appreciation on the outside, but will treasure it on the inside.

Aquarius Child WATER BEARER

Aquarius children do things their way and do not want to be confined to a set of rules unless little Aquarius has had a say in the rule-making process. Aquarius understands things may not go their way but they need to feel they have had their say irrelevant what the outcome may be.

Pisces Child FISH

Many Pisces children have a habit of sitting staring into space feeling secure in their dreams with a tendency to be sensitive and intuitive. The Pisces nature is very empathetic and these children make great sacrifices to help others but they may have trouble learning to set their own boundaries which can make them turn straight back to their dream world.
