First let's take a quick look at your child's
Ascendant, or Rising sign. Astrologers want to know what
zodiac sign is rising at birth, since this gives a picture
of the way we appear or come across to others. We look out
upon the world through the glasses of the Rising Sign. Your
child's Rising Sign will offer clues as to how your child
perceives herself or would like others to see her. Many
astrologers consider the Rising Sign as important as the
Sun Sign in describing identity. This makes sense, since
the Ascendant describes the early childhood experience.
From myriad impressions and interactions, the child will
weave the tapestry of her unique selfhood. If the Rising
Sign is very different from the Sun sign, the child may
have to work at integrating diverse aspects of her
personality.
Aries is a Fire sign on the Action Cross. Children with
Aries Rising are prone to be bold and impulsive. This child
needs opportunities to take the initiative as well as
patient parents to teach her to "look before she leaps!"
Your child likely has a strong personality, but others may
see her as somewhat self-centered and possibly arrogant.
She could appear to be self-enterprising, single-minded and
daring -- a leader. If she receives the necessary
education, she might grow up to be a pioneer in her field.
The sign ruling the Ascendant is said to rule the chart.
Mars rules Aries. Study Mars' (and the Sun's) sign, house
position and aspects well -they will reveal much about your
child's emerging personality. If Mars (or the Sun) are in
Fire signs, your child is likely to be active, yet possibly
quite demanding in her approach to life. Mars (or the Sun)
in an Earth sign is a stabilizing influence. She strives
forward determinedly. If Mars (or the Sun) are in Water
signs, she could be touchy and defensive. She needs to
learn not to take herself so seriously! When Mars (or the
Sun) are in Air signs, the child is apt to be quite
sociable. If the rest of the chart depicts a more passive
personality, seek ways to bring out her native
self-reliance by building in her self-confidence and a
healthy self-esteem. She learns by making choices.
The Sun and Moon At the time of our birth, the planets (through their
configurations and relationships) tell us something about
the quality of the moment of time into which we were born.
Each planet points to special traits within us. Yet, of all
the planets, the two most important planets to astrologers
are the "lights," the Sun and the Moon. From where we stand
here on Earth, the great shining Sun by day and the
reflecting Moon at night are our constant companions. The
Sun and Moon are our greatest guides in understanding our
children, their temperament, personality, relationship with
parents and other significant adults, their sense of
purpose, their feelings and much more! The Sun and Moon
give us clues as to where our children are headed and how
we can help them on the way.
The Sun: Identity, Ego, Will, Father The Sun represents our identity, or self and as such, colors every other aspect of the chart. In a child's chart,
the Sun will reveal much about her emerging personality.
Your child's greatest strengths and challenges are often
described by the qualities of her Sun Sign. A Leo child,
for example, is a born leader but may be pompous. A Piscean
youngster may draw upon a rich imagination to inspire
others, but may seek to escape reality by retreating into a
fantasy world. The wise parent will train the child to
manifest the positive qualities of her Sun Sign. The
position of the Sun also helps us understand what motivates
our children. A child with a Fire sign Sun such as Aries,
will generally be motivated by seeking new experiences in
which she can assert herself, whereas a Water sign Sun
child is more emotional and will seek comfort and security
before venturing out. Children born into Earth signs tend
to be grounded. They're builders and seek means of
practical expression. They want to know, "How does it
work?" Air sign Sun children can experience life through
thoughts and thrive on social interaction and
communication. The Sun also represents the child's
perception of the father (or dominant parent) and the
qualities the child identifies with within the father. From
here, we extend our understanding of this relationship to
authorities and adults in general and later, to the child's
understanding of her own life purpose. For example, a child
with the Sun in harmonious aspect to Mars would likely feel
supported by the father and therefore more prone to self
confidence than a child born with the Sun square Mars. The
latter might feel blocked on some level by the father or
dominant parent. Both, however, are dynamic positions
indicating leadership potential.
