uhm, recognizing my kiddo has a major stellium in leo helps tremendously with my saturn leo’s ability to recognizing that the grandstanding, melodrama, and attention demanding are simply natural to him, and i may be better off trying to push it in more creative directions than clamping down…
and it’s good for my aries to remember he has all that water, and to try to be gentle…

I´m a taurus with 2 kids: i look like a pinwheel lol

libra and piscis
my daughter Iris (7 years) piscis has mars in capricorn, she doesn´t move, blows up when I Say: hurry up
she does not see the world as we see it, she has to take her time.
I have to show all the good side of the world, … to decides what she wants (brain working)

Super intelligent libra, no problem with my Sabrina.

I’m a Taurus Sun with Libra Moon like your son, and I certainly wish my parents had understood what you do… He is amazingly blessed to have you as his mom!

I don’t plan on having children but I’ve used astrology to understand kids that I’ve babysat in the past, and it helped tremendously.

I’m a Taurus Sun/Libra Moon too!

I wish my mom would have used Astrology as well, since even today at 20, it takes me at least half an hour to get outta bed and when I was younger, she’d do anything [ even tickle my feet! ] to try to wake me up, which.. obviously didn’t do either of us well.

I’m definitely going to refer to astrology when I have children.

I’m not a parent, but I did turn my co-worker on to astrology and she is digging around using the knowledge to parent her two preteen sons and it has been a revelation to her and her husband. I love hearing her stories!

Absolutely. Although I didn’t know the astrology at the time, my son is a Pisces and I’ve got a stellium in Pisces myself, so I intuitively knew what I was dealing with, and his chart since has proven that I was on the right track. I never had to yell, scream or make threats… All I ever had to do was touch on his emotions, like, “I’m disappointed (or sad, confused, etc) that you did XYZ.” and that was all it took.

I’ve long believed that astrology ought to be taught in school, as part of an ongoing curriculum from grade school through to high school.

People would understand each other better, in all types of relationships, including parent-child (both ways).

Yes, but I’m a little baffled by the fact that my daughter with her Taurus Sun and Aries Rising is described by the daycare staff as being laid back, easygoing and well-grounded! But she is!gotta go look at her chart again!

SF and BP, that would be brillisnt – astro at school – imagine also having some kind of energy / healing classes. Once you understand something like reiki, you can never hurt anyone. I come from a town where gang violence is a big thing and at present, our education system is a big mess and teachers are striking. Wow, imagine really transforming school learning…
I am totally indebted to astrology for walking through the many tight situations that having 2 teenagers can get a mother into. With people not understanding, being unaware and falling back on old ways to solve teenage-authority dynamics, it is so helpful to step back, take a look at transits and patterns and to help from that perspective and not a raw, ‘in your face’ act and react position.
My 16 year old boy sent me a message the other day asking whats up in the stars from his boarding school because teachers were coming down on him heavily. It felt good him asking. Also, have noticed that when other adults put me down due astrology, my children (16 and 13) defend me – with smiles, of course.
