Introduction

I.How wondrous is the moment when you first look into the eyes of your newborn child! How miraculous is creation! What deep mysteries bring families together for a cycle of time! In Know Your Child , Kathie Garcia -- author, Montessori teacher, mother, and professional astrologer -- brings you a first-hand understanding of the trials and joys of parenthood. Being a parent is challenging. A job description for a parent would include something of almost every other job. When we study the child's astrological chart, we can instantly attune to how we can best guide him. Understanding leads to greater patience, a virtue of immeasurable worth in child-rearing! The child comes to us with his own birth chart, his particular life plan, which many believe is determined prior to birth. Nevertheless, there can be no doubt that environmental factors, decisions made by parents, education, and free will can change, alter, or mitigate the prophecy foreseen in the chart for better or for worse. In Know Your Child we search the chart with an eye for extracting the child's positive potential while turning around possible problem areas that could disrupt or hinder his best expression.

II. In creating this report, certain assumptions have been made: 1. Every child is unique. While most concepts will hit the nail on the head, not all you read will necessarily "fit." 2. It is assumed that you are loving parents, dedicated to helping your child realize his highest potential. 3. It is assumed that you're willing to look at yourself (as you read about Mom and Dad in this report) to see where greater awareness and self-improvement can help you better raise your child. 4. It is assumed that at no time will you use this report (and its recommendations) to replace common sense and your own good judgment. You are his parents, no one can know him as you do. Remember:

Astrology is meant to CONFIRM, NOT REPLACE, the inner guide!

III. Please keep in mind the following: 1. Observe the child as he grows. Maria Montessori proved that by observing the child you discover the laws of his being. The chart unfolds as he grows. There's a spectrum of possibility. It's up to you to discover what motivates your child. 2.In reading about your child, emphasize the positive. Negative patterns can be changed; indeed, sometimes only a shade of gray separates our Achilles Heel from becoming our most valuable asset. Conversely, our natural talents can stagnate and, if we fail to develop them, become the open door to self-indulgence. Take note of areas of great sensitivity, vulnerability, or pain in the child's chart. Find ways to help your son master these.

IV. Keywords and concepts that will help you get the most out of Know Your Child:1. Throughout the report, reference is made to planets receiving harmonious or challenging aspects. In astrology, trines and sextiles are considered aspects that indicate energy flowing in harmony. We call squares and oppositions "dynamic aspects." Here is where your child may meet his greatest challenges, but also where he may demonstrate his greatest strengths! In expressing and mastering the dynamic aspects, we grow and can realize our greatest achievements. Remember:

Wherever you find dynamic aspects is where your child may need the most guidance, consistency, and patience on your part.

2. RESOLVING CONTRADICTIONS: None of us is black and white. For example, a child might be extroverted in sports, but shy in academics, or vice-versa. Some children need help in working out such structural conflicts. 3. Sometimes the child expresses strengths or talents different than our own. A child with a grand trine in earth signs will be industrious and works-oriented. If his parents have little or no earth emphasis in their own charts, this child may need contact with other, more practical people, to bring out the inherent qualities of order and efficiency typical of this positive configuration. 4. Be kind to your child. His star has appeared and it may be different in magnitude and brilliance than your own! Love him, teach him, and learn from him, but don't expect him to be who you are. While the child is still in the process of turning his weaknesses into strengths, we can often fill in the gap!

V. CONCLUSION: This report is intended as a stepping stone in your astrological journey -- a fascinating adventure. For those who hold newborns, Know Your Child will offer many insights that will prove their worth for years to come. For those of you with older children, this report will shed much light that will help you better understand your child and where he is headed. Some will walk through their childhood again through the pages of this report -- finding, healing, and attuning with the child within.

The Rising Sign

The Ascendant, or Rising sign, paints 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. Sanjaya's Rising Sign clues us in to how your child perceives himself or would like others to see him. The Ascendant describes the early childhood experience. From myriad impressions and interactions, Sanjaya will weave the tapestry of his unique selfhood.

Unknown Birth TimeThe Rising Sign is determined by the child's birth time, which is unknown. Please check Sanjaya's birth certificate for the birth time so you can know about his Rising Sign: how he appears to others.

These are areas of intense focus and activity in the child's chart. For better or worse, these qualities stand out and are obvious to all those who come to know him. Help Sanjaya bring out the best and master the rest!

Sanjaya was born with the Sun (self) conjoined Mars (vitality); this combination confers abundant energy. Your child likely has natural athletic ability. He has leadership ability. Not one to give up, he ploughs on until he reaches the goal! Your son may have a knack of getting into arguments and fights. He enjoys contests, especially those requiring pitting his physical or mental strength against others. He could be willful, stubborn, impulsive, forceful, or too daring for his own good. If he learns to control his temper, he could be a dynamo! Respect your son and teach him respect for others. He might channel his energy into sports or in creative projects demanding physical or mental stamina.

Sanjaya is enchanting. There is a dreamy look about him. He might have artistic and/or musical talent. Your son is highly impressionable, picking up on other people's vibrations almost by osmosis! Teach Sanjaya to pick his companions carefully; he may be very kind, but gullible and easily duped (and therefore disappointed). The line between fantasy and fact may not be readily apparent to him. He must attain objectivity to balance his "psychic" gifts. The Moon/Neptune child often adores his mother, or may feel confused by her. The mother may help the child develop his creativity productively.

Sanjaya seems mature for his age. He is loyal and dependable, if a bit serious and perhaps a tad shy. While this astrology helps stabilize the personality it can also add

3

much weight, especially upon a young person's shoulders. Avoid saddling Sanjaya with excessive chores and responsibilities. Never condemn him. Help him see the cup as half full instead of half empty!

Life can be challenging, and things are not always easy. Major challenges, difficulties and crises often throw us into confusion, the way is not clear. The little child deals with inner issues, plus family problems as well as those native to the time in which he is born. Sometime challenges are latent until the child has reached the age of 12 or older. Your awareness of these sensitive areas in Sanjaya's chart give you a greater understanding as to how to help him turn stumbling blocks into rings on the ladder of success. Therefore, when it comes to the following factors in your child's chart, you may wish to exercise extra patience.

Sanjaya must balance his fantastic imagination with disciplined application! He could be incredibly tuned in or really spaced out! Warn him early on of the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Your son is highly persuasive. He'd be a convincing speaker, especially on metaphysical and spiritual subjects. Nevertheless, Sanjaya might weave many a tale! Extremely empathetic, Sanjaya picks up vibrations not his own! Sensitive and intuitive, he assumes others' burdens as if they were his own! Lest he worry excessively, help him see the hidden good. Impart to him the wisdom of realizing what one can change and what one cannot. Your son works best in an orderly environment. Insist his schoolwork be orderly, on time, and complete! This astrology is common in the charts ofpoets, songwriters, actors, orators, and composers.

Sanjaya was born with a sharp mind that nonetheless requires much self-discipline! Does your child think he can get around doing things as he knows they are supposed to be done? These shortcuts end up costing him a lot. Does he tend to bite off more than he can chew? Whoa! Instruct your child how to bring in the reins of the mind! For starters, insist on neat schoolwork, good handwriting, a clean desk! Teach him not to believe everything he hears.

On the plus side, this aspect indicates mental stamina and the ability to take on tasks others might consider laborious. The young child especially may take to repetitive work. Sanjaya's mind set could be overly serious, critical, or judgmental. Never censor this child, he needs to be heard! He could have differences to overcome with a sibling or cousin. Help Sanjaya express himself with confidence.

When emotions interfere with reason, Sanjaya could feel awkward in conversation, shy, or moody. Take the time to talk with your child. Help him learn to separate his thoughts from his feelings. Find ways to build his self-confidence: teach him communication and social skills, be generous with praise. At times he might be high-strung, restless, and/or mentally stubborn. On the other hand, Sanjaya could be exceptionally clever with a noticeable wit, a born salesperson! He benefits from right schooling and training.

Sanjaya could have a real temper and be prone to sudden outbursts! Don't be blown away when he insists on having his own way, even when it is against his own best interests. He needs to be willing to cooperate with others. Sanjaya profits by realizing

4

the wisdom of seeking the middle way, but may reach this conclusion after a stay in the university of hard knocks! Sanjaya grows by facing the consequences of his actions. Your son might display bravery that borders on foolhardiness. Patience is a virtue that may not come easily! The lesson life offers him is freedom within limits. He loves discovering and inventing and could be fascinated with outer space, speed, the latest technology, or New Age concepts.

Too much of even good things gets us into trouble! Sanjaya is generous and joyful but may tend to overdo in some way; in giving, in eating, in action, in speech. Sanjaya could be gullible and naive, especially regarding the company he keeps! Teach him not to throw his pearls before swine! While he feels close to his mother and family, avoid over-indulging him. He needs discipline as well as love! He'll be challenged to get things going when he feels laid back.

Despite whatever problems we may have, there are areas of life where we have clear insight and real talent or natural ability. When it comes to these matters, our judgment is sharp and we always manage to take charge. Positive aspects in your child's chart are like money in the bank. It does little good if not wisely invested. Too much ease in a chart can result in lack of motivation. Therefore, provide Sanjaya with opportunities to bring out and develop areas of inherent ability. This positive astrology indicates integrity, vitality, and self-confidence. Sanjaya is likely to be popular among his friends, content among his kin and comfortable with boys as well as girls. The harmonious relationship between the Sun and Moon often indicates physical strength and/or a healthy constitution at birth.

Sanjaya is courageous. When he is "locked into" the task at hand he seems indefatigable A dynamo of creative potential is available to your son! How to be powerful and at once humble? He desires a strong bonding to the mother. Nevertheless, the child with Moon/Pluto contacts may feel overwhelmed or overpowered by her. Establish trust and open communication in the mother-son relationship. While Sanjaya experiences intense emotions, he likely guards his sentiments. He may be dauntless, but willful; intuitive, but secretive; insightful, but manipulative. Establish the law and maintain it consistently, never in anger but in love.

Sanjaya is charismatic, attracting friends through his magnetic personality and catching "joie de vivre." Aware of "stage presence," he might find his stage in the performing arts or even in politics! He is likely to try on extreme clothes and hair styles. Your son has a penchant for new-age technology and concepts. While he magnetizes financial abundance, he might find it hard to hold on to it! Sanjaya is fun but impulsive and prone to infatuation. Advise him to put love at first sight to the test of time before committing. Teach him the reality of love that lasts; show him the middle way!

Sanjaya was born with Pluto trining the Sun; it is said that those with this astrology manage to cram many lifetimes into one, for during their life they pass though intense periods of self-transformation. Your son experiences life with emotional intensity. He possesses astounding stamina. Sanjaya has an intense sense of self. His leadership potential might manifest best in emergency and crisis situations. This astrology favors

5

research, psychological investigation, and behind-the-scenes work. Encourage Sanjaya to be the best "me" he can be!

Your son's life is filled with friends and relationships. Sanjaya seeks a close bond to his mother. He might be artistic or attracted to artistic types. He is conscious of the way he looks and has good taste. He is super energetic and physically active. Chances are he'll enjoy group sports. This child seldom hides how he feels and therefore is no stranger to an occasional argument! He may receive plenty of emotional support as a child, especially from his mother. Nevertheless, he may have to practice managing strong emotions. This astrology favors the culinary industry plus careers in any work demanding physical stamina and lots of contact with the public.

Sanjaya was born when Neptune trined the Sun. Children with this placement are very sensitive and impressionable. Many are artistic, endowed with rich imaginations. Most are devotional, some are visionaries. Your son is talented at working with images, whether psychological, artistic, or cinematic. He loves movies and music, anything with a grand theme or gesture. He gets "feelings" about people and events; help him safely and creatively develop his intuition. Help him put his imagination to work! Teach Sanjaya how to sort out the real from the unreal.

The Lights: The Sun and Moon

The two most important astrological spheres 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 illumine your understanding of Sanjaya's temperament, personality, sense of purpose, and how he relates to his parents and other significant adults, and much more! The Sun and Moon offer you clues as to where Sanjaya is headed and how you can help him on his way.

The Sun: Your Self and Future

The Sun represents our identity or self, and as such, colors every other aspect of the chart. In Sanjaya's chart, the Sun will reveal much about his emerging personality. Direct your son to manifest the positive qualities of his Sun Sign. Study the position of the Sun in Sanjaya's chart to better grasp what motivates him. 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 his own life purpose.

Sun in Virgo

6

Virgo is an Earth sign on the [Illumination cross]. Its symbol is The Maiden. Virgo children observe natural phenomena to discover the laws behind manifestation. Most children of this sign are manually dexterous. Toddler Virgos delight in taking apart and putting back together mechanical toys and geometrically painted wooden pieces that form beautiful intricate designs. Provide Sanjaya with child-sized tools plus the opportunity to do real jobs that help him feel he's an asset to the family. Don't be surprised when he comes up with better, more efficient ways of running the house (and everything else to boot)! Your son tends to be overly critical of himself and could be somewhat shy. For Sanjaya, good is hardly ever good! Discourage nit-picking, fault-finding, and complaining. Show him how to see the good in others and in himself! Montessori materials with their built-in corrections are perfect for the young (age 2-7) Virgo. Sanjaya has an affinity for reading, writing, and teaching. If he becomes anxious about making the grade, remind him that what matters most is to do his best! Teach him the joy of learning from mistakes. Sanjaya might find his calling through work or a profession where he can serve, correct, repair, heal, or teach. Perhaps he fine-tunes his skills by caring for pets and/or younger siblings. At times he might lose sight of the forest for the trees. Remind Sanjaya that "there is a place for everything and for everything a place." He enjoys hobbies where he must label, paste, organize, and categorize. Little Virgos are acutely aware of their bodies. Baby Virgos can be quite uncomfortable if wet or unattended.

Talent: Moon Trine Sun

The Moon: The Support System

The Moon describes the child's experience within his family, with its particular dynamics, tradition, and heritage. From these, the child establishes his roots. The Moon then indicates the early childhood environment, early support systems, and the child's perception and experience of his mother. Look to the Moon to learn what Sanjaya needs to feel secure and also what kinds of habits would be helpful or detrimental to his development. Emotional responses are traced to the Moon and, hence, to patterns established during childhood (and even during other lifetimes). These often become automatic and subconscious in the adult.

Moon in Capricorn

Capricorn is an Earth sign on the [Action cross]. Its symbol is The Goat who climbs up the mountains on his knees. Sanjaya feels best when he knows his contribution counts. He needs to feel respected and is willing to take on more than his share of responsibilities. Sanjaya seems a little more grown-up than other children his age and generally gets along well with older children and with adults. He has an uncommon dosage of common sense which he puts to good use! You likely will discover that your child can take any and every idea or situation and put it to good use. Your child may feel deeply but will work hard at controlling his emotions. Correct any tendency to defend himself by blaming, hurting, or condemning others. Sanjaya may feel a need to prove himself, to make it in this world. He might be hard on himself. Avoid being judgmental with him as he could internalize condemnatory messages. An air of personal dignity masks real or imagined hurts. Your son works best in a structured environment. The mother could be perceived as ambitious, a good manager, or "the

8

rock." Or perhaps her son sees her as cold, strict, or overbearing in some way.

Talent: Moon Trine Sun

Life may not always be a bed of roses for any of us, but Sanjaya is more likely than most to find what he needs when he needs it! This positive aspect indicates basic harmony between the will and the emotions, the hallmark of a healthy personality!

A love of pets and animals, children, older people, and the needy and downtrodden in general is likely to be a lifelong trait.

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 in Sanjaya's chart suggest how he expresses love while shedding light on his appreciation for beauty (or lack of it) and the arts. Venus indicates how Sanjaya measures his experience plus what values established during childhood are essential to his sense of self-worth. Mercury tells you something about Sanjaya's perception, verbal expression, schooling and in short, how his mind works, how he thinks and communicates.

Mercury: The Mind and Communication

10

Mercury represents thoughts, ideas, all forms of communication, and the mental process in general. What are Sanjaya's mental attitudes? How does he communicate? Mercury describes the myriad aspects of schooling and teachers, study habits, homework, learning skills, and concentration (or lack of it). Sanjaya's relationship with brothers, sisters, and close cousins are indicated by Mercury as well. Mercury relates to hands, fine motor abilities, and handwriting and drafting skills.

Mercury in Libra

Libra is an Air sign on the [Action cross]. Its symbol is The Scales. The Mercury in Libra child has a reflective mind, a mirror for others. Sanjaya helps conflicting parties come to peace by considering each other's viewpoint. Seeing both sides sometimes keeps him from making choices. Your son is at home with public relations (politics, diplomacy, sales). He's usually considerate, helpful, and courteous. Sanjaya expresses a strong sense of fairness. Emphasize honesty in your household. Because he would rather not rock the boat, Sanjaya could find it hard to handle difficult situations. Teach him to face reality and to never be afraid to tell the truth!

Challenge: Moon Square Mercury

Sanjaya may find it hard to express what he feels. Does he say things that are unrelated to what he is actually feeling? Emotions flood into the thinking process making it difficult to be objective. Sanjaya needs a home environment free of criticism and belittlement, but you also need to teach him not to be defensive when correction comes his way. The mother's manner in particular (hopefully loving, but not wishy-washy) will help or hinder her child in mastering challenges in communication.

Challenge: Mercury Square Jupiter

Sanjaya was born with a sharp mind that nonetheless requires much self-discipline! Does your child think he can get around doing things as he knows they are supposed to be done? These shortcuts end up costing him a lot. Does he tend to bite off more than he can chew? Whoa! Instruct your child how to bring in the reins of the mind!

Challenge: Mercury Square Neptune

Sanjaya must balance his fantastic imagination with disciplined application! He could be incredibly tuned in or really spaced out! Warn him early on of the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

This astrology is common in the charts ofpoets, songwriters, actors, orators, and composers.

Venus: Values and Discrimination

Venus in the child's chart shows us what kinds of things our child appreciates, his innate sense of beauty (which can be developed), the manner in which he interacts with his friends and with adults, and how he gives and receives. Venus provides clues as to Sanjaya's taste in food, his eating habits, how he cares for his possessions, and his attitude toward money and belongings. In a boy's chart, Venus describes the type of life partner he most probably will attract.

Venus in Libra

Libra is an Air sign on the [Action cross]. Its symbol is The Scales. The Venus inLibra child loves beauty, refinement, decorum. Sanjaya benefits by learning the social graces at an early age. Seeking inner and outer harmony, he feels uncomfortable in a discordant environment. Your son prefers to avoid all harsh and crude actions, people, or things. A natural diplomat, he brings people together for social reasons, or to resolve their differences. Teach him to stand up for what's right, even if it means rocking the boat! Children with Venus in its own sign are usually physically attractive and charming. Teach Sanjaya to DARE TO BE TRUE.

Talent: Venus Sextile Uranus

Sanjaya is charismatic, attracting friends through his magnetic personality and catching "joie de vivre." Aware of "stage presence," he might find his stage in the performing arts or even in politics! He is likely to try on extreme clothes and hair styles. Your son has a

12

penchant for new-age technology and concepts. While he magnetizes financial abundance, he might find it hard to hold on to it! Sanjaya is fun but impulsive and prone to infatuation. Advise him to put love at first sight to the test of time before committing. Teach him the reality of love that lasts; show him the middle way!

The External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

The major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These planets describe the outer circumstances surrounding the child, the status, well-being and conditions he is born into and what urges him on to greater achievements as he grows. Look to Mars to discover what motivates Sanjaya and the way he gets things going. Jupiter shows us how he is most apt to channel that energy, and Saturn decrees what sort of obstacles will confront him on the road to success. Again: Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it, and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.

Mars: Drive and Emotions

Mars is the trigger planet that gets us going. Mars tell us what motivates our child. Does Sanjaya express desire in a healthy and direct manner, or does he feel blocked (squares) by inner or outer conditions? With greater understanding, we can help the child channel even turbulent emotions, like anger, in a constructive way. As the fuel behind desire, Mars sparks the body's "chi," or vital force, and as such tunes us into the child's interest and aptitude (or lack of it) for physical exercises, sports, and recreation. Self-centered Mars engages us in stormy confrontations. The same vitality rightly qualified by the heart imparts courage and stamina.

Mars in Virgo

Virgo is an Earth sign on the [Illumination cross]. Its symbol is The Maiden. Mars inVirgo children are motivated to be of service. Give your son child-sized tools and real jobs! Help Sanjaya develop a sense of his own worthiness lest he offer his services indiscriminately. Your child is a perfectionist, but criticism and pettiness coupled with a demanding attitude could lose him many a friend if not pointed out and corrected! Being too picky sometimes means the job never gets done at all! Your son does his best work in a neat and structured environment. In a messy room (even his own) he feels disoriented and frustrated!Many artisans and craftsman have Mars in this detail-oriented earth sign. Sanjaya enjoys sewing, embroidery, or in some way working with cloth. Is Sanjaya full of questions? He loves to discover the laws behind manifestation. A walk through the woods could easily turn into a scientific venture!As Sanjaya matures, he might find his forte in medical research, dentistry, nutritional

13

analysis, or psychology. Mars in Virgo is common in the charts of researchers, critics, analysts, accountants, mathematicians, engineers, and other professions where precision, detail, and analytical ability are requisite. Sanjaya needs to learn to relax.

Ruling Characteristic: Sun Conjunct Mars

When Sanjaya wants something, he goes after it! His ambitions are backed up by the will to get things done...NOW! How can you help your son constructively channel so much force and not disturb his determination to succeed? Be patient! He may be overly emotional, too assertive, or out the door before you can count to ten. Your example is key, plus physical activities that require timing and coordination. He could excel at sports. Even as a toddler, it's best not to let him flaunt anger. Teach him consideration and kindness.

Talent: Moon Trine Mars

Children with this energetic aspect are full of punch! Sanjaya likes people and finds it easy to get along with almost anybody. A sports activity or physical creative discipline, such as dancing, will almost certainly appeal to him. Your son knows how to motivate and inspire others and could be a mini-politician in his own right! He might enjoy coaching or training younger children. With his powerful spirit, he will attract many friends and positive experiences.

Challenge: Mars Square Uranus

Sanjaya could have a real temper and be prone to sudden outbursts! Don't be blown away when he insists on having his own way, even when it is against his own best interests. He needs to be willing to cooperate with others. Sanjaya profits by realizing the wisdom of seeking the middle way, but may reach this conclusion after a stay in the university of hard knocks! Sanjaya grows by facing the consequences of his actions. Your son might display bravery that borders on foolhardiness. Patience is a virtue that may not come easily! The lesson life offers him is freedom within limits. He loves discovering and inventing and could be fascinated with outer space, speed, the latest technology, or New Age concepts.

Jupiter: Career and Life Path

Jupiter represents the Guide, the Life Path. Our first teachers are usually our parents. Then school teachers, ministers, and other mentors enter our life to show us the way. Jupiter indicates the nature and the timing of cycles of opportunity, and thus, has much to do with vocation. Jupiter reveals how we expand our horizons, our philosophy of life.

In what manner will Sanjaya seek to discover more about himself and life? While Jupiter is considered a fortunate influence, the child must learn that too much of a good thing (Jupiter) works against his best interests (like being over-extended or foolishly generous). The sailor moves further and faster by learning how to work the sails; likewise, we applaud the child's natural enthusiasm even as we teach him to manage it astutely.

Jupiter in Cancer

Jupiter in Cancer usually points to a happy home environment; generally, the mother is sincerely interested in the child's welfare and religious and moral education. Your household or that which Sanjaya establishes as an adult may be a center of educational, philosophical, and religious activities.Sanjaya may enjoy cooking almost as much as he likes eating! His eyes, however, are sometimes bigger than his stomach! Or his tendency might be to eat what looks good rather than what is necessarily healthy. Therefore, it's important to teach him sensible eating habits from early childhood. Generally, children with their opportunity planet in the sign of mother like to help out at home. Your child's sense of family could embrace the community. As an adult, he could take an active role in community affairs.

Challenge: Moon Opposite Jupiter

Sanjaya's countenance beams joy, but he may overextend himself, taking on too much at a time, or perhaps he expects others to do the work. Your son is attracted to religious, philosophical, or spiritual themes. Others look to him for guidance. Sometimes this position signifies a doting mother, but Sanjaya needs love plus firm guidelines to steer him clear of self-indulgence in food, work, and play. Your son may expect instant results, but learning to delay (or put aside) gratification is crucial for later success.

Challenge: Mercury Square Jupiter

Sanjaya is likely to have many different interests but will be challenged not to over-extend himself and to focus on one task at a time. How can you teach him to pull in the reins of the mind? Common sense may not come naturally to him and may need to be acquired. Sanjaya loves to question and to learn. Nevertheless, success at school and later in career may depend on his ability to take one step at a time and to complete assignments. Is he impatient with necessary routine? Help him develop good study habits and organizational skills at an early age.

Saturn: Responsibilities

15

Called the Great Teacher, Saturn instructs and challenges us that we may be successful. All children must learn to accept social responsibility, maintain their environment in order, finish homework and projects on time, and delay gratification at times. As loving parents, we show them how to turn mistakes into lessons, obstacles into strength. Look to Saturn to ascertain the dynamics of Sanjaya's relationship to his father and, later, to other authority figures. Children have to practice self-discipline, patience, gratitude, and obedience. This they do in cycles of time. Saturn represents the process of maturity, the outlines for growth presented to us by our teachers, our biological clock, and by the workings of our personal destiny.

Saturn in Capricorn

Saturn, the Great Teacher, is at home in this sign of concentrated spiritual power in the earth! When we are humble and attuned to the light within, we can conquer the world! Children born with Saturn in Capricorn are typically mature for their age. Sanjaya is conscientious, dutiful, and willing to shoulder more than his share of responsibility. His personality is colored by a compelling motivation for meaningful accomplishment. Cultivation of patience and fortitude help Sanjaya overcome obstacles and achieve success. He could, however, be excessively critical of self and of others. Teach Sanjaya how to capitalize on his strengths, rather than condemn his weaknesses. Assure that he receives plenty of affection and play time! Sometimes children born with this placement are “over-comers,” rising up out of difficult early circumstances. Inspire physical and moral strength in your son, but protect him from the pain of verbal or physical condemnation. A compulsive ambition for status might mask fear of failure or the need to establish a core sense of self-worth. At best, this position confers organization, dependability, and steadfastness and favors any role entailing hard work and responsibility. Sanjaya's chosen career may require years of preparation and experience.

Ruling Characteristic: Moon Conjunct Saturn

When the mother is constant in her care, Sanjaya feels nurtured and loved. But at times, he may perceive her as being controlling, critical, or too demanding. To feel at peace, Sanjaya must practice compassion. Right judgment and emotional balance develop over time. Your son works well in structured situations. He is thoughtful, but at times appears overly serious. Teach him to look at the glass as half full instead of half empty. If the father is unavailable, the child may seek ways of compensating for his love. Give your son plenty of praise and approval in honest measures!

Challenge: Mercury Square Saturn

Study and long periods of mental concentration may not be his cup of tea. Some children with this astrology experience difficulty related to schools or learning. Others find it hard to organize their thoughts or finish their projects. Sometimes, however, the

16

opposite is true and we find the proverbial bookworm! Sanjaya could be frightened of potential failure, have difficulty dealing with change, or be excessively rigid. A serious cast sometimes gets in the way of his spontaneity and play. Physical activity and an occasional excursion help him break free from mental ruts. This astrology favors careers in science, math, education, industrial management, and government.

Jupiter Opposite Saturn

Acquiring good habits during childhood, such as completing tasks and putting away personal belongings in their right place, being on time, promising only that which he can realistically fulfill, and having the patience to get the training necessary to get the job done, give your son the background to avoid the pitfalls inherent in this astrology. Sanjaya needs to accept his share of responsibility. If the socio-cultural or religious background is (perceived as) excessively rigid or prejudicial, the child may one day break away to find his own path.

The Outer Planets: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto

Astrologers call Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto the trans-personal planets. Personally and generationally, these energies describe transcendental patterns of fate and destiny. Uranus shatters tradition and revolutionizes life, often through new technology or progressive thought. Neptune dissolves and almost imperceptibly moves ideological boundaries consequent to Uranian discoveries and changes. Neptune provides antennae to the unseen world, the allure of mystical kingdoms, the balm of compassion. As Pluto releases hidden dangers, the power of Light and the threat of Darkness meet on a personal and worldly level. How can you best prepare Sanjaya to meet these challenges? To be true to himself in an imperfect world? To feel secure in his relationship to God? For most of us, the challenges increase as we mature, but certainly the foundation is set in childhood!

Uranus: Break-Thrus & Insights

Uranus represents our link to the higher mind, awakening us when we did not know we were asleep and dramatically altering consciousness. Uranian energy liberates in abrupt, startling ways; revelation, invention, and revolutionary thought change the way we think, live, and relate. Look to Uranus in Sanjaya's chart to better appreciate his special talents and sense of uniqueness. Seek ways to support Sanjaya's budding genius. Apparent eccentricity may be the mark of a great future physicist! At times a child may perceive himself as somehow different from the rest. He may be willful, even rebellious. Emphasize, in word and action, requirements and logical consequences, appropriate to Sanjaya's nature and age, that with freedom comes accountability. Be consistent in applying the rules. Only so will Sanjaya realize the consequences of his

17

use of free will.

Uranus in Capricorn

Your child was born into a sub-generation destined to change the world, bringing us a new government and economy. They will seek a way to couple the best of traditional values and New Age ideals. Children born with this placement may be interested in the political and business arenas as adults. Ever practical, the Uranus in Capricorn individual comes up with new or alternate forms of management and breakthroughs in top-level management and corporate styles. Agriculture and architecture will undergo radical changes under their direction. Since they will challenge the ways of their elders, they likely will experience clashes with authorities during childhood. Your child must learn to control anger. He benefits from opportunities to learn to wield power with humility and kindness.

Talent: Venus Sextile Uranus

Optimistic and upbeat, Sanjaya attracts the good things in life. His friendly manner magnetizes novel people and exciting experiences. He uses clothes and hairstyle to make a daring statement of his uniqueness. In art, music, and writing, Sanjaya will be guided by intuition and revelation. He is savvy to the latest electronic device. Sanjaya's natural magnetism may find voice in a career in entertainment. This astrology is favorable for a fortunate marriage and financial abundance. Sanjaya is a free spirit and a lover of humanity. He values independence in close relationships.

Challenge: Mars Square Uranus

Sanjaya may not take easily to restraints of any kind (keeping schedules, wearing a helmet, etc.) but he needs to adjust for safety's sake! Be patient in showing him the way. Help him deal with sudden anger. Lovingly channel his abundant energy into sports and physical exercise. Discover what motivates Sanjaya and give him consistent, structured instruction. Acquiring self-discipline, the ability to delay gratification and to work because the job needs to be done (even if he doesn't feel like it), and generally becoming self-motivated will head your child in the right direction for success. Stress this formula: the degree of responsibility = the degree of freedom.

Jupiter Opposite Uranus

If you don't like what you see, change it! Sanjaya has some very unique ideas about the way things should be. His zeal seems limitless. He is determined to make a difference! Social reform will interest him as he matures. Help Sanjaya manage his impulsiveness and grandiosity, traits that otherwise could prove costly in adulthood. Insist he promise

18

only that which he realistically can fulfill. Traveling and exploring are part and parcel of his agenda. Discuss with him new possibilities, but make sure he gets his room clean!

Saturn Conjunct Uranus

A natural leader, Sanjaya demands independence but is willing to shoulder responsibility as well. Your son has an innate knack of successfully juxtaposing the best of the past with new possibilities. He is likely to excel at science and math, computers, and anything hi-tech. Sanjaya attracts people who are rugged but individualistic. He may need sports or some other outlet to relax. There's a lot of creative tension in this combination. Saturn represents the father. Perhaps he pulls his dad forward, or dad keeps him from getting too far out. Sanjaya could be willful: teach him that a free person is self-disciplined and therefore is not in need of outer restraints.

Neptune: Ideals & Imagination

Neptune represents the bridge to worlds we cannot see and so provides the key to unlocking Sanjaya's imagination! Many artists, musicians, and creative people have Neptunian natures. Neptune reveals much about the child's natural inclination toward spiritual worship, adoration, and devotion. Being an outer planet, Neptune also paints a picture of the collective dreams of Sanjaya's generation, dreams which may build upon, alter, or even challenge our own. Neptune rules the sea, a silent world so close that few people really ever consider. Such is the body of memories, the subconscious. Latent beauty there abides, but here we also find the root of the child's fears. Give Sanjaya room to dream, but insist he keep his feet firmly planted on the ground! Sanjaya may not consciously be aware of Neptune's influence until he reaches adulthood.

Neptune in Capricorn

The practical is the ideal. Sanjaya is one of a group of dynamic children who will seek to obtain power and control. They will bring order out of the prevailing world chaos. Although they may spend their childhood years in times of global hardship, they will hopefully grow up to usher in a Golden Age. Your child and his peers will seek ways to incorporate spiritual truths into government and management. Nevertheless, Sanjaya could be too critical, complaining, or he could be a "what if"-er! He benefits through consistent and clear direction and a structured work environment.

Talent: Sun Trine Neptune

Your child visualizes and captures imaginary and metaphysical thoughts (and sounds) like others work with durable things. Much of Sanjaya's sense of self relates to his

19

ability to work with images, dreams, and the imagination. He is naturally drawn to the cinema, music, philosophy, religious, and mystical themes. He might enjoy creative writing. He has no problem putting himself in another's shoes. Objectivity helps him not "throw his pearls before swine!" This astrology favors a career in photography, marketing, and/or entertainment.

Challenge: Mercury Square Neptune

Although he has a rich imagination, your child needs to develop mental self-discipline to avoid daydreaming, especially at school! He has a way with words and easily captivates his audience. Sanjaya loves hearing colorful tales, especially those dealing with great heroes. Sanjaya might have literary or artistic talent. He is drawn to mystical and occult themes. His comprehension of strategy and human motivation might prove uncannily correct. Highly idealistic and devotional, he'll need to acquire an extensive vocabulary so that he might translate into words his moments of inspiration! Sanjaya could be particularly caring to or influenced by a sibling or cousin.

Jupiter Opposite Neptune

Sanjaya is generous and kindhearted. He enjoys learning about people in far-away lands and hearing historical tales. While he has a good imagination and can visualize easily, help him develop common sense. Devotional by nature, he is likely to benefit by early spiritual exposure. Assure he "walk the talk" and not be idolatrous. Teach him the importance of keeping promises. Woolgathering could be a problem at school. You can help Sanjaya make his dreams come true by insisting he finish his projects (starting with putting the building blocks back on the shelf), stressing the importance of neatness and order (hanging up his clothes) and finding creative ways to channel his imagination. In short, teach Sanjaya how to discipline the mind!

Saturn Conjunct Neptune

Sanjaya may have difficulty letting go and being imaginative. Or perhaps he dreams of ways to bring forth his inner vision of an ideal world. To avoid getting lost in daydreaming, or suffering depression, your son must know how to make (at least some of) his dreams come true! Your son is not one to accept dogma without question and may tend to be cautious in this regard. The perception of the father (or stronger parent) may be idealized or distorted and will affect interactions with other authority figures. Above all, your son needs to have a healthy sense of self. Sanjaya tends to be too hard on himself. At best, this aspect favors musical and artistic expression, spiritual development, and a true compassion. He could combine religion and science as one!

Pluto: Inner Change and Growth

20

Pluto uncovers the most sensitive psychological areas within us, affording opportunity for transmutation and regeneration. Once touched, we must change and grow or, as happened to the Beast in "Beauty and the Beast," out picture our hidden darkness. If Pluto is emphasized in your child's chart, he will experience a compelling desire for self-transformation on some level of his being. The danger and power inherent in Plutonian energy can be seen in the nuclear power struggle born in the last century. Will this intense force be used to renew or to devastate life? How do we instruct our children about modern day dangers and yet strengthen their faith that they hopefully grow free of fear and violence? Stress the positive, be ready to help Sanjaya navigate through intense emotions he may feel but not necessarily comprehend. Impart the peace of compassion.

Pluto in Scorpio

Astrologers predicted that this group of children, born at the end of the Piscean Age, would live through drastic upheaval and earth changes. Their world will reflect the soul regeneration that must occur to allow for new possibilities. Sanjaya is fascinated by deeper meanings and discoveries. Intense personal transformations and inner growth are lifelong habits. Gain your child's trust and encourage open communication between you. Assure he grasp clearly the dangers of drugs.

Talent: Sun Sextile Pluto

This astrology indicates someone determined to make a difference in this world! Sanjaya may go through periods of incredible change and transformation during his life. He is a natural detective and fact finder, and may be drawn to comprehending occult or hidden forces. Sanjaya might benefit from learning meditation and yoga as a means to regenerate energy. See to it that your child is challenged intellectually at school and gets leadership training.

Talent: Moon Sextile Pluto

Ah! Here's the child that loves learning about the unknown! Sanjaya is likely to feel a close tie with his mother. He is a natural counselor with an aptitude for analysis; friends come to him for advice, even during the school years. Persuasive and dramatic, you may find it nigh impossible to tell him "no!" Try to listen attentively to your son's many questions! Does he talk about his dreams in life? If so, why not write them down? Even as a child, he is apt to have a sense of a real mission in life! He could reveal a bent for physics or metaphysics at an early age.

21

Jupiter Trine Pluto

Sanjaya has a strong sense of right and wrong. He is apt to set high standards for himself. He possesses a deep understanding of others. Due to extraordinary faith and optimism, Sanjaya wields the power to transform his own life and that of others. Spirituality and/or philosophy are his cornerstones. Whatever his career, his managerial and people skills are among his greatest assets. Sanjaya might enjoy writing. He is a natural teacher. Publishing, religious life, education, real estate, travel, counseling, or helping people in crises or working out sensitive issues are careers where Sanjaya might excel.

Neptune Sextile Pluto

This astrology describes a global opportunity for great change through understanding of profound spiritual laws. It points to the interest in psychology so prevalent in the last century and today. For some, opportunity for spiritual advancement and self gnosis becomes the predominant theme of life. The times themselves prove to be a great teacher.

The Elements

How do your child's planets and houses total up? Which does he have in abundance, and which does he lack, if any? Elements, modalities, and house quadrants are all astrological references used to gain a general picture of energy patterns and focus, temperament, and modes of action. Those with high totals show what we can or must do in life -- points to be developed. These are qualities we have. "Wants" are areas that may be weaker and need developing or balance. Sometimes people overcompensate the "wants" and even pretend to have them. The old adage is: we become what we want (or lack), while we do what we can (or have to do) with what we've got. Here are Sanjaya's totals:

Have Earth

Sanjaya may be concerned with preserving the status quo and is apt to be stable and methodical in his ways. He could resist change and might have trouble getting started, but once on the move should be indomitable. He could mistrust that which is new or untried.

Want Fire

If Sanjaya lacks an inner self-confidence, he could try to overcome this by defensive

22

aggressiveness. He probably wishes he had more of the self-assurance his more fiery acquaintances display. Inspire in your son the joy to overcome all challenges. Other stronger influences in the chart (a strong Mars or Sun by sign, aspect, or house position, or a Fire Ascendant) would compensate.

Have Cardinal

Your child is apt to be an energetic prime mover, a starter, able to initiate and get things moving. Not always hot on the follow-up, Sanjaya may tend to get the ball rolling and then move on to other things.

Want Fixed

Sanjaya may tend to be all over the place rather than front and center! Learning to bring it all together could be a major challenge that pays off big! Discover how to help Sanjaya learn to focus on the task at hand.

Have Angular

Thoughts are fun, but Sanjaya thrives on "works." He's constantly on the go, an "action" person who gains the attention of others by getting things moving. "Do it now!" just might be his favorite catch phrase!

Want Cadent

This busy pattern challenges Sanjaya to master the many details of everyday life: being on time, keeping schedules, completing chores and homework. Sanjaya has a natural curiosity. He contacts many people and seeks a variety of experiences.

House Emphasis

Unknown Birth TimeThe houses are determined by the child's birth time, which is unknown. The following information is not as accurate as it could be. Please consult Sanjaya's birth certificate for the birth time so you can know more about your child.

The 12 houses of the horoscope, particularly when they are occupied by a planet, provide a clue to areas of special activity in the child's life and development. They paint a picture of the environment in which he will work out the challenges and talents signified by the planets and aspects. Here is an analysis of house activity based on

23

planet emphasis:

First House: Appearance, Approach

The first house is the house of "Me!" How I see myself, the "me" I would like to be, and how others see me -- in short, my identity. The key phrase of the first house is "I AM." The first house describes the early childhood environment (or the child's perception of it). Much of the child's sense of self will be a reflection of the environment in which he grows up. The child's projected image (personality) will reflect his experience and assimilation of his interaction with others.

Virgo on First House Cusp

Virgo energy is analytical and precise, constantly separating what is worthwhile and worth supporting from that which is outmoded and of no further use. The affairs of the house with Virgo on the cusp reveal the area of life in which Sanjaya seeks to serve, and/or where he may take a systematic and detailed approach.

Sun in First House

Sanjaya tends to be out front and personable. Guide him appropriately for his age, but be advised that he'll want to set his own course! More likely than not, he is strong willed and even a little overconfident. Lessons in cooperating with and being considerate of others come his way. He pays special attention to his appearance. Your child is ambitious, resourceful, and a natural leader! Radiating vitality and self-confidence, he is not afraid of competition and is probably athletic.

Mercury in First House

A thinker, tinkerer, chatter-box, investigator! One or all of these titles might describe Sanjaya! He is full of questions. Answer them as intelligently as you can (instead of "it’s a dog," tell him the breed). If you don't know the answer, why not write down his inquiries in a special book and later look up the answers together. Your son should love learning as long as classes are interesting enough to hold his attention. He likes variety and change, without which he becomes easily bored or distracted. Encourage your son to complete the task at hand before beginning another.

Mars in First House

The child born with Mars (action through desire) in the house of self (first) has a strong drive to be seen and known. Very self-aware, he makes a statement through his

24

personal appearance. Sanjaya will need sports, dance, or much movement to channel abundant physical energy. Children with this Mars placement tend to be self-starters but forget to look before they leap! Sanjaya likes being first in line. He is abrupt with others who lack his initiative. Plant the seeds, he'll remember when it's time, but Sanjaya learns best from direct experience. At times a healthy competitive and self-confident spirit turns into a demanding egocentric attitude. The villain is pride; his presence is noted by anger! There's leadership potential here if humility is taught or acquired from childhood.

Second House: Possessions, Reactions

The key phrase of the second house is "I have." The second house deals with our material security; our natural resources and talents, our livelihood, and how we utilize the resources of this world. This house also reveals much about our values, what is valuable to us. We study this house for clues as to the child's basic attitudes and sense of self-worth. Learning about the sign on the second house cusp will help you teach Sanjaya responsibility, stewardship, and sharing by describing his attitude about his belongings. Planets in the second house further unravel the clues as to Sanjaya's money-making potential and spending habits.

Libra on Second House Cusp

Libra energy balances by assuming the appropriate reaction or response to any question or statement. Libra is all about relationships. The affairs of the house with Libra on the cusp indicate where your child may enjoy working with a close pal; this may also be where he must learn lessons in cooperation. Libra brings beauty and diplomacy to the affairs of the house whose cusp it is on.

Venus in Second House

Venus (love, beauty, money) in the second house (income) is considered fortunate, since it generally attracts wealth and the good things in life! Expose him to the arts at an early age. Sanjaya may have musical talent, be artistic, or easily develop artistic appreciation. When given a choice, he tends to pick the best (and often most expensive)! Physical beauty in surroundings and personal belonging (clothes, his room, home) add much to his happiness. Teach your child proper values with money (an allowance at the appropriate age might help). You may have to curb a tendency toward self-indulgence or indolence. Venus in the second house confers business talent and is found in the charts of bankers and stockbrokers. This placement also favors designers, clothes dealers, jewelers, singers, composers, and art dealers.

Pluto in Second House

25

Millionaires and paupers both may boast or lament as the case may be of Pluto's (regeneration) presence in the house of money and resources. Sanjaya might one day become a terrific business person. He gets past appearances and separates out that which has real worth. Some of Sanjaya's most important life lessons revolve around finances; when to keep striving, when to let go; how to avoid temptation for material gain. The establishment of strong moral values and good common sense from the earliest age are a must with this placement! At some point in his life, his values could be seriously tested or undergo tremendous change.

Third House: Inquiries, Communications

The key phrase for the third house is "I think." At no time is the third house more important than during childhood. The astrologer looks to the sign on the third house cusp, and any planets abiding there (and to the planet Mercury) to get a picture of the child's approach to learning. The third house is a very mental house, concerned with finding, researching, communicating, and all manner of questioning. Traditionally this house rules brothers and sisters. Planets in the third house can tell you something about Sanjaya's interaction with his siblings, cousins, and/or with neighborhood pals. Children with personal planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) in the third house tend to be very active at school.

Scorpio on Third House Cusp

Scorpio rushes past superficialities and right to the heart of any matter. The activities described by the house upon whose cusp Scorpio sits require regeneration through love. Intense, passionate, and very personal, Scorpio relates to sex, death, and the resources we share with others. Its energy intensifies and concentrates the affairs of the house upon whose cusp it lies.

Fourth House: Home, Family, Security

The fourth house is the house of the home and family. The sign on the fourth house cusp, any planets abiding here, and the Moon describe Sanjaya's sense of his early home environment. Young children yearn to feel secure within the arms of mother and father, within the walls of home. The small child fears abandonment. Traumatic childhood scenes take years to resolve. A memory of a nurturing and secure experience helps the adult get through many a storm. Since many of the early patterns are repeated, the fourth house (and the Moon) suggest how Sanjaya is likely to manage his own family one day.

Sagittarius on Fourth House Cusp

26

Sagittarius is associated with religion, philosophy, and travel. Your child may seek to "expand his horizons," or to express his highest ideals and personal philosophy through the affairs of the house on whose cusp Sagittarius is found.

Moon in Fourth House

Security is essential to Sanjaya. He thrives in a peaceful home environment. His relationship to his mother colors the entire life. Sanjaya identifies strongly with the community in which he grows up. Mastering moods and letting go are challenges he must face. Encourage independence in Sanjaya. Be loving, but NEVER give in to whining, complaining, tantrums, and other such manipulation! Your son is naturally compassionate and caring. This astrology favors parents to be real estate agents, cooks and restaurant owners, child care personnel, and work involving the public.

Saturn in Fourth House

Sanjaya was born with Saturn (duty, karmic debts) in the fourth house (family). Establish loving dialog and trust from day one, so that your son will not feel emotionally isolated within the family. Avoid being excessively strict with him. Sometimes this Saturnian position indicates considerable family responsibility, whether during childhood or in adult life, or both! Regardless of potentially difficult circumstances at home, much spiritual good -- compassion, caring, emotional strength, and spiritual maturity — can occur in overcoming them. During adolescence, your child will profit by some job or activity outside of the home. Saturn here favors home businesses, the culinary industry, the manufacturing of domestic products, hotel management, real estate work, farming, construction, ecology, and family and community services.

Uranus in Fourth House

Is there an astrologer in the house? Do you live in a New Age Community? Are you missionaries living abroad? Uranus in the fourth often indicates an unusual mother, family, home life, or lifestyle, possibly with unexpected moving. Perhaps the home is used as a meeting place for friends and groups. The child with the planet of independence (Uranus) in the house of home (fourth) grows up feeling very independent! He may not understand why he has to account for all his comings and goings! Your child is likely to be most clever and creative, but not necessarily understood! This Uranus placement favors farming, ecology, geology, and other physical sciences.

Neptune in Fourth House

27

On some level of his being, Sanjaya is searching for the ideal home environment. Sometimes this Neptune placement indicates residence in a spiritual community. If his home life is a happy experience, Sanjaya'll carry it with him all his life. A discordant, chaotic, or somehow uncomfortable home environment could cause your child to withdraw and would have a deep effect on his psyche. When Sanjaya is older, he may live by the sea or travel by sea. He feels a special devotion to his mother.

Fifth House: Expression, Creativity

The fifth house is the house of dramatic self-expression; its key phrase is "I create." Many actors have planets here. The fifth house relates to fun and recreation; planets in the fifth house plus the sign on the cusp provide clues as to what kind of recreation Sanjaya might enjoy. The giving and receiving of love is also connected with this house. Children with personal planets in this house (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) feel most fulfilled when they are actively creating, sharing, and openly expressing their emotions.

Capricorn on Fifth House Cusp

Capricorn is the business energy of the zodiac. Concerned with practical results, this sign takes a distanced perspective, a cool appraisal. Lessons in power may be indicated in the affairs governing the house hosting Capricorn on its cusp. Or this may be where your child is particularly willing to work hard for earned results.

Sixth House: Responsibility, Work, Health

The key phrase of the sixth house is "I work." That which was conceived in the fifth house is applied and produced in the sixth! In the child's chart, we study the sixth house to understand his daily habits. How he handles his chores, how he approaches his school work. Is his handwriting sloppy or neat? Is Sanjaya happy to help others when asked or does he complain? The sixth house rules dress and appearance. This house also tells us about eating habits, diet, and basic health. The sign on the cusp and planets in the sixth house can show you health areas that may require your attention.

Aquarius on Sixth House Cusp

Aquarius is the sign of brotherly love. Futuristic, radical, and group-oriented, the focus is on the goal, and the goal is for the many, not the few. This sign tends toward independence. The house with Aquarius on the cusp reveals much about your child's friends as well as his objectives in life.

28

Seventh House: Relationships, Other People

The seventh house is the house of partnerships, relationships, social life, and all that carries us beyond our personal self into an awareness of other people, community, and the like. Children with planets in this house seek to understand themselves through others. They are rarely alone. How does Sanjaya deal with competition? Is he able to hold his own in a match? Can he stand up against peer pressure? To succeed with seventh house issues, the child needs to feel secure within himself. Planets in the seventh house and the sign on the cusp also provide clues about your child's interaction, as he matures, with the opposite sex.

Pisces on Seventh House Cusp

Embracing psychological and metaphysical symbology, Pisces relates to the past, to memories, and to karma. Transcending or defeating real and internal "hidden enemies," we become illumined and strengthened through faith. The affairs of the house with Pisces on the cusp may signal an area of vulnerability in the chart where your child could be subject to illusion or where he could be particularly sensitive and attuned; here he will learn the discernment necessary to draw boundaries.

Eighth House: Business Savvy, Elimination

What meaning does the eighth house hold for the child? Any planets in the eighth house will give a Scorpio, hence deeply subjective, coloring to the chart. The key phrase here is "We have." For the adult, the eighth house relates to shared money, property, resources. It all begins during childhood. How does Sanjaya approach sharing his things with others, in carrying out joint projects? Also, how does the child deal with pain, crises, even the death of significant others? This is the house of sex, death, and regeneration, and, moreover, the house of desire. Planets in the eighth house and the sign on the cusp shed light on Sanjaya's ability to attract things to himself and to let go of them when necessary or right.

Aries on Eighth House Cusp

Aries is the sign of the pioneer and leader. Aries energy is attention-getting and assertive. The house with the Aries cusp shows you in what area of life Sanjaya is most apt to be assertive, headstrong, and even a bit impulsive. Here is where he can learn the lessons of patience.

Ninth House: Religions, Philosophy, Ideas

The ninth house covers higher education, long journeys, spiritual discovery, philosophy,

29

judicious thought, and the courts of law. In Sanjaya's chart, the ninth house reveals where he reaches out to know more. As a youth, he is apt to be more concerned with his direct experience than with abstract thoughts. From these, however, he will draw conclusions shaping his beliefs. Priests, judges, historians, college professors, philosophers, and explorers often have key planets here. The child with planets in the 9th house enjoys expanding his horizons through travel, sports, or outdoor adventure.

Taurus on Ninth House Cusp

Taurus energy is stable. Here is where Sanjaya is most likely to be resourceful, his house of treasures and talents! He might make money from the issues related to this house. Taurus tells about our sense of self-worth and values, as well as the worth of the things we acquire. This house is where Sanjaya needs to learn the lessons of obedience or non-attachment.

Tenth House: Practical Vision, Vocation

The tenth house is the point of the crystallization of destiny and so deals with career, status, and reputation. The tenth house describes much about Sanjaya's relationship with authority figures: father, mentor, government, employer, Guru. Here we gain valuable insight into what the child wants to do and who he wants to be when he grows up, how he deals with authorities and handles responsibility, plus the dynamics of his relationship with his father or dominant parent. Children with planets in the tenth house want to be someone important; they're concerned with the stepping stones toward success. Sometimes planets in the tenth house (especially the Sun or Saturn) indicate a need for much training before reaching the career goal.

Gemini on Tenth House Cusp

Gemini is concerned with connections, transportation, and communication of all kinds. Gemini is the busy-body of the zodiac. The Gemini cusp can reveal in what area of life Sanjaya is apt to show curiosity, mental interest, and diversity.

Jupiter in Tenth House

Jupiter (opportunity) in the tenth house (career) is a powerful placement, often the signature of the trustee, public servant, government official, or manager. Experience and strong moral values, humility coupled with self-confidence are the ingredients for success here that must be reinforced during childhood. It is natural for Sanjaya to put his practical and managerial abilities to work. He could make a career built upon of his keen organizational skills and clear insight into how things work. Sanjaya requires much training, education, and/or experience before reaching and accomplishing his goals.

Sanjaya may receive honors or manifest success in the later part of life. He is a natural leader, and will likely assume positions of responsibility during his youth. This placement favors law, travel, education, history, and religion. The relationship with the father greatly influences career direction.

Eleventh House: Dreams & Visions, Community

This is the house of friends and community life. The young child is greatly influenced by his companions. As he matures (and particularly during pre-adolescence and teenage years), peer pressure and conformity may take precedence over parental guidelines in his mind. Planets in this house and the sign on the eleventh house cusp indicate the kind of friends Sanjaya is likely to attract. The eleventh house provides clues as to how to tune into Sanjaya's aspirations, how to teach him goal-fittedness, how to measure your projected aspirations for him against his own! The eleventh house also addresses the child's willingness (or lack of it) to cooperate with others in group projects.

Cancer on Eleventh House Cusp

Cancer is the mother of the zodiac, always making a home, protecting, and providing for others. The house with Cancer on the cusp is where Sanjaya looks for security. Your son might be particularly sensitive to the issues of that house.

Twelfth House: Sacrifice, Psychology, Acceptance

The twelfth house is called the house of endings. The twelfth house relates to "hidden enemies": fears born of past memories. A child with many planets in the twelfth house could be extremely imaginative but could be so sensitive as to withdraw. Music, meditation, dance, and art are good ways to bring these children out of the "retreats." The sign on the twelfth house cusp can tune you into potential areas of vulnerability in Sanjaya's psychic makeup, hidden fears, as well as hidden talent and strengths waiting to be drawn out! The twelfth house describes if and how the child is inclined to sacrifice for others. Having many planets in this house sometimes signifies a career in medicine, social work, or behind-the-scenes production.

Leo on Twelfth House Cusp

Leo energy is expressive and concerned with dramatic self-awareness and a sense of pride and ownership. Leo energy is emotive, theatrical, and outgoing. Sanjaya may seek creative means to express himself through the affairs of the house with Leo on the cusp.
