subject: Absolutely Psychic Network-child Astro Report Part 23 [print this page] Pisces is a Water sign on the thinking crossPisces is a Water sign on the thinking cross. Its
symbol is The fishes, bonded together but swimming in
opposite directions. The Moon in Pisces child is typically
highly sensitive, impressionable and imaginative. She is
often compassionate, always willing to help out the
underdog. (she would probably enjoy taking care of a pet.)
Your Moon in Pisces child is capable of identifying
with the suffering of others. She may even absorb the moods
of other people and confuse them as her own! She seeks
peace but needs to learn to confront life's challenges
rather than to escape into a fantasy world. She may need
your help overcoming internal fears.
Your child likely responds to devotional images,
music, and religious rituals. She finds hope and solace in
religion and may develop a deep commitment to spiritual
ideas. Intuition is a fact of life, and she is apt to be
sensitive, kind, and gentle with a tender heart. She may be
capable of great faith and devotion. This position favors
service oriented work -- doctors, nurses, social workers --
and all artistic professions. The mother may be perceived
as kind and caring, highly devotional. If afflicted, the
mother may be seen as moody, having difficulty coping.
Your child may be attracted to boats, beaches and
fishing and/or may be like a fish in the water at the
swimming pool.
Children born with this aspect are often imaginative
and expressive. Nevertheless, the child may find it hard to
understand and talk about her feelings. Or perhaps her
intentions are misunderstood. (Sometimes this results from
the perception of the mother as somehow non-communicative.)
If she feels awkward in conversation, the child could be
shy or moody. Take the time to talk with your child. Help
her learn to separate her thoughts from her feelings. Find
ways to build her self-confidence in speaking and
interacting with others: i.e., build her vocabulary, teach
her elocution and the social skills, be generous with
praise. Some children with this Moon-Mercury contact are
high-strung, restless, and/or mentally stubborn. On the
other hand, your child could be exceptionally glib and
clever with a noticeable wit! She could be a born
salesperson! Whichever is the case, she benefits by right
schooling and training.
The child with this aspect typically is generous but
may tend to overdo in some way--in food, in action, in
speech. She could be gullible and lack discrimination,
especially in the company she keeps! Teach her not to throw
her pearls before swine! She feels close to the mother, but
should not be over-indulged. Getting things started and off
the ground may be harder for her than for most.
The child with this aspect may have a somewhat unusual
upbringing. Later in life she is apt to attract a partner
who is independent and also a bit unusual. If the mother is
inconsistent in moods, rules or behavior, the child with
this aspect could easily become confused; not knowing what
to expect from her when. She needs to know she can rely on
her. Children with this Moon-Uranus contact can be
unconventional, even at the expense of popularity. She
learns by experience and may depart from the trodden path.
Your child may be restless and move around a lot. Her
desire for personal freedom quite likely goes against the
majority. She could be impulsive, more impatient than not,
and (especially if Mars aspects the Moon or Uranus) could
find it hard to control her temper. She could be subject to
sudden mood changes! Your child can master this aspect by
acquiring self-control and self-knowledge. Some children
with this Moon-Uranus aspect are quite brilliant and
original in their thinking. Teach your child the importance
of keeping commitments.
The Inner Planets: Mercury and Venus
The planets Mercury and Venus, along with the Sun, Moon
and Mars describe the child's emerging personality. These
inner planets are located between the orbit of the Earth
and the Sun. Venus indicates how the child appreciates and
measures her experience, and describes the values
established during childhood. Venus tells us how the child
expresses love, the things that mean a lot to her, and her
appreciation for beauty (or lack of it). Mercury tells us
something about our child's perception, verbal expression,
schooling --in short, how her mind works, how she thinks
and communicates.
Mercury: The Mind and Communication
Mercury represents thoughts, ideas, and the mental
process in general. Communications -- by phone, letter,
spoken, or however -- are ruled by Mercury. Also thoughts,
connections, phone wires, and everything that connects and
conveys -- even forms of transportation. In the child's
chart, Mercury describes the myriad aspects of schooling --
teachers, study habits, homework, learning skills,
concentration (or lack of it). Your child's relationship
with brothers and sisters are indicated by Mercury as well.
The way your child thinks, receives, shares and transmits
information and knowledge will be revealed by studying the
position of Mercury in her chart. Mercury relates to hands,
fine motor abilities, and to handwriting and drafting
skills. Mercury by sign and element tells us how the child
studies and what she likes to study, and how we (her
parents and teachers) can help her gain greater academic
expertise. Children with Mercury in Fire signs think and
talk simultaneously and are spontaneous. They enjoy games
that make learning fun! Children with Mercury in Air Signs
can chatter away and still keep going! Words can come alive
for them and they enjoy listening to (or creating) colorful
tales and stories. Communication is their thing. They may
have to work at being listeners, however! Children with
Mercury in Water signs may need help thinking clearly since
emotion runs into thoughts. These children like profound
subject matter. Children with Mercury in Earth signs
generally have a good measure of common sense. Hands on
training suits them best.
Sagittarius is a Fire sign on the thinking cross. Its
symbol is the Archer or The Centaur. The Mercury in
Sagittarius child is typically fair-minded and above-board,
always direct and honest in thought. Sometimes, she could
be blunt to the point of putting her foot in her mouth or
offending others. She could feel self-justified in "telling
it like it is" but do not allow her to be rude or
inconsiderate in speech. She is more interested in eternal
thoughts and broad landscapes than in minute details.
