Awesome. My 8/9-year-old daughter (whose chart is remarkably similar to your son’s) and I had a pretty cool conversation this afternoon on the early drive home from Grandma’s (don’t ask why we didn’t stay) about how the Beatles progressed from pop boy band to psychedelia. I gave her a matter-of-fact primer on pharmaceutical classes, and now she knows the difference between pot and acid and bad music and good music.

What was truly convenient was that the Stones were playing “Shattered” on the radio while I was switching discs, and that interlude gave me the chance to explain what the two feuding fan camps were all about; indeed, what the culture of the time was all about. And she got it. Too bad she has such crap bands to choose from these days.

But she also gets that the Beatles rule, and the Stones also rule; we don’t live in a universe in which either must be de facto “better,” and that’s all that matters.

Our kids have Jupiter conjunct Mercury in Aries and love to compete. My son, however has Libra, lots of it, and like to partner. We are very similar in this way. We work together very easily but also respect each other’s abilities or else.

I can put a puzzle together but I am no more skilled than he is. He inherited the knack, see. But I get the idea w/ your daughter. If there is no Libra… well that would make all the difference in the world.
