People have asked when it is appropriate to
have their children’s natal chart prepared.
Is there an age limit and when is it best to have their transits and
progressions done? Will any of these
charts assist parents to guide their children to utilize their strengths and overcome
weaknesses?
It is suggested that a parent could have
their child’s birth chart completed at any time in their lives. Some prefer to have their child’s chart done
shortly after their birth and some find it more appropriate once their
individual personalities are starting to develop.
A birth chart defines for the parent (they
are written for the parents) their children’s temperament, their emotional
needs and how the mind will respond to learning. It speaks about their strengths as well as
any challenges that they may have and offers the parents opportunities and
suggestions on how the child gathers information and then processes it. A chart will also help define the most
appropriate way in handling their child’s emotional displays and emotional
interaction with others. This is all
completed according to their astrological signature which is quite different
from one person to the next.
As mentioned, these charts are for an adult
mind to interpret and not directed towards the children. This chart will offer suggestions
astrologically for the best way to utilize the potential found in a chart. It will also offer suggestions on how to
handle their children based on astrological data obtained in the birth chart.
The chart would be comprehensive and detailed. In most cases issues such as sexual overtones
would not be included and we would not interpret health related issues. If there were deep psychological concerns
that would surface within the chart or health related issues found in the
chart, we would recommend seeking professional advice. There would however be suggestions on how to
deal with other youth related issues and also suggestions into ways of
assisting the child to enhance their skills and god-given talents.
If the child were perhaps in their late
teens at the time of the preparation of their chart, it is recommended that
only a natal chart be completed. Transits
or progressions are completed for individuals who have an understanding of
their own complexities. There are some
that prefer to have a transit and progressed chart completed at almost any age,
but weighing out the potentials and how a challenging aspect would affect a
young mind is best addressed by the parent.
We usually recommend that any individual
wait to have transits and progressions completed for when they have finished
high school. This chart would offer
reference material that would provide these individuals with an opportunity to gaining
insight into their ever expanding life circumstances. In these charts, we speak in terms of some of
the challenges that they may encounter but will focus on positive reinforcement.
It is our aim to provide insight and
assistance to parent of younger children or directly to the adolescent for the
best ways to move forward in their lives.
