Astro-Baby: The Leo Baby

The Leo Baby has an extremely sophisticated grasp of music and, from an early age will respond with alacrity to Brahms lullabies & al those classical compositions set at a certain tempo to help babies relax. They may diss standard nursery jingles in fabour of a far more complicated tunes. As soon as they can hold – say – a rattle, they would love a drum set or any other kind of instrument. As they move into toddler-hood le petit Leos love also photography, film & dancing. It is totally their thing…

Astro-Baby: Indigo, Crystal & Rainbow Children

The other day I was meandering around & decided to go in to see a psychic. It feels a bit silly as i can do my own divination but it’s fab to have someone ELSE doing it for one. In fact, I saw three psychics in three days. I blame the Eclipse and the Scorpio Sex Academic. Actually, it was fascinating. Although, i was disturbed to hear that the Uranian has apparently had his soul snatched.

For one of them, my Gemini daughter and i wound up in front of this lovely lady who said – unprompted, this was excellent, that i was bringing the “old ways” to a new audience via a new medium. That’s what raving on about mugwort & Venus will get you. People can smell it. But this Glebe psychic was staring at my daughter and saying “she’s a crystal child…” I used to get this all the time with my son – “he’s an indigo” and i sort of see it as de rigeur in New Age circles.

So as we’re leaving the shop, i turn to my Gemini and ask how she feels re being a “crystal child” et al. She glared at me with all the scorn a nine year old can muster and said “You paid her money, she wasn’t exactly going to say I am a cockroach child, was she?” I thought that was quite amusing.

But, parents, do you think the Indigo, Crystal & Rainbow child New Agie stuff is genius or a load of drivel?  I don’t know enough about it to totally diss it, though the theories re autism seem a bit suss. The idea of a new master race of highly evolved spirits IS quite appealing, I suppose…But still…

Astro-Baby: Elemental Parenting

This is a way simplistic but interesting way to think a la astro & parenting. Everyone has a more or less dominant element in their astrological charts. You can see a nifty little table that shows where planets et al are concentrated usually at the bottom of that charts. F for Fire, Air for Air, E for Earth and W for Water.

Fire Signs are Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. Air Signs; Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. Water: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces.

Find the dominant element & realise that that simply is your childs temperament. eg; Fire kids need to compete, shine and show off. Water kids want to be left alone in reverie a lot and thrive on music/art style pursuits. But they won’t have remotely the same desire that the Fire sign has to get in there and prove themselves via team work. Earth kids need & benefit from routine, regular eating & sleeping habits + they’re fussy about their stuff. Physical exercise grounds them but it’s not the O.T.T. variety Fire loves. Air children are amazingly easily bored & enjoy loads of mental stimulation, factoids, jokes & quizzes.

These are all obviously generalisations but it’s also fascinating how true they are and how they help peeps understand one another. A Water child WOULD enjoy meditation but it would be fairly fruitless to impose it on an Air child. Fire kids relish a challenge & can put up with the most relentless ‘motivation’ of a batso sporting parent. Air kids will be thrilled at irregular hours and spontaneity but it would make an Earth child morose.

Something to think about?

Astro-Baby: Stork Theory 101

So given that children tend to enquire from whence they came way before one has an explanation prepped, what do you tell them?

I got my son to watch the DVD of Where Did I Come From? when he was four and then asked if he had any questions. I think i was chanelling my Mars in Virgo. “Only one,” he said. “Did you have to do that to get me?” He’s Cancerian and they tend to be a bit funny about their mothers.

And when I airily explained the biology of it to my daughter, she sighed with total Gemini cynicism and rolled her big blue eyes. “I know all that boring stuff. I’m more interested in where i was before that.”

Of course, it’s way later when you get the tricky questions: “So, have you ever had a threesome?”  “Why did you leave X?” “Would you consider yourself hot?” “What is a fetish?” “Why do people dress up as the opposite sex?”  “What is an X rated movie?” “Is it true that the Dad of Jesus is a Ghost?” “How long were you a virgin for?”

SO what is the answer? Virgoan precision? Absolute Saggo candour?  Leo-Libra Social Engineering? Gemini-Piscean fibbing-procrastination?

Astro-Baby…

By popular demand-nagging-guilting-wheedling, I am introducing a new feature – Astro-Baby!  I do find astrology a fascinating way to help understand your children. I have retrieved from the archives an old anecdote re my son – who is Kataka but with a multiple Leo conjunction – to illustrate & as I think it’s funny.  It’s below…I don’t do charts for children generally as it is nice to let them blossom and see how they manifest their astro. But they work really well…It’s good to look at some key points of their chart. eg; Having been fine at swimming as a toddler, my boy suddenly developed this extreme water phobia, which nothing would cure. Then one day at the swimming  pool, when he was about seven, he noticed two “older” girls staring at him and he dove straight in the deep end. Phobia cured.  That’s your multiple-Leo in action.

So is this;

He’s a teenager now. Mars, Mercury Jupiter all in Leo…Anyway, he went to the doctor, suspecting that he had picked up some vile gastric thing from his trip to Thailand…

Comes home, saying the doctor said he’s fine…

Me: Really?

Multi-Leo: Yeah. She was really attactive and she said i had amazing abs.

Me: What about the gastric thing?

Multi-Leo: Oh fine. But I said no to having diarrhea or flatulence because I didn’t want to ruin the image she so clearly had of me being really fit and all.

Me: Are you for real?

Multi-Leo: She thinks it might be something to do with our furniture…

Me: Furniture?  Did you actually go to see a DOCTOR? Or just chat up someone at the gym?

Multi-Leo: Yeah, she wants a stool sample. Do we even have any stools?

And with my daughter, she has Sun-Mars-Venus in Gemini/in the 5th house so absolutely craves creativity, art, knowledge & goss. But also Neptune Rising so slack at admin to a stupendous degree…She would rather draw or listen to music. Neptune Rising is beautiful, charismatic & artistic but can be hopeless re “reality.” But the Multi-Gemini means she has an astonishingly quick mind & encylopediac knowledge of about 100 people and their biz. She just knows things – every bit of info is processed, filed appropriately & stored.

So, without projecting a whole lot onto them, have a look at just your childs Sun, Rising and Moon sign – see if you can see how they’re operating…Nurture the Moon, respect the Rising & let the Sun just shine…And if they’re contradictory influences, see how you can help them work together a bit more. eg; Leo Rising is a show-off & will respond to music like you wouldn’t believe but if the Moon is in Scorpio, they need a locked box, secret diary sort of a thing and the absolute assurance of privacy.

Another example; My son’s Moon is in Virgo conjunct Venus so that’s innately health-conscious. He saw Supersize Me & totally altered his eating habits that very day. He invents his own little health rituals such as eating an entire garlic & fancy kinds of push-ups. So a Moon in Virgo child feels secure with healthy rituals & would love – for example-  his/her own diary or scheduler. A Moon in Libra child would be more likely to respond to aromatherapy than other Moons – maybe even tidy a room if they get to spritz a little something around later. Aries anything needs to compete & will go psycho-bats if give the kind of well-meaning goo-goo that they can’t. Taurus hates having their stuff moved around.

So I will do more along these lines in future Astro-Baby…

Crab Moon

The Moon loves to be in the sign of Cancer, sign of her rulership…Despite all the Full Moonie merde the next few days one can be productively emo, sooky goo-goo with loved ones/loyal confidantes and deeply aware. Think also herbal Zen Hippy as way to cope with the intensifying of the Saturn-Uranus opposition. Actually, i just thought of this; the combo of Mars conjunct Neptune and the Cancerian Moon and Venus going retrograde etc make this the ideal weekend to practice Haute Meditation…Yes.

Download something haute-hippy and Zen Noire from Sequoia & see how far you can ramp up your meditation et al. Saggos will naturally astral travel the furtherest whilst Leos will be upgraded to connecting with a supreme being the most quickly, because the SB feels Leo can relate to the vagaries of Supreme Beinghood. The Cancerian Moon is also always heaven for sharing fave fairy tales and myths with children…

Moonflower (or how the Moonhorses came to Japan)…is the sweetest little fairy tale…

ipomoea_alba_flower_no_hotlinking

“Hundreds of years before the Europeans developed rubber, the Aztecs mixed the juice of moonflower with tree latex to produce an elastic they made into rubber bands, hammers, and balls for a ritual game. A relative of the morning glory, moonflowert has its cousin’s heart-shaped leaves and vining habit, but instead of greeting the Sun, like the morning glory does, the flowers of this Moon plant open in late afternoon and stay open for one night, which makes them wonderful in Moon gardens. They are pollinated by moths drawn to their scent, which humans can smell too, if they have the genes for it (not everyone can perceive the scent of some white flowers).  The presence of moths in turn can attract bats, Hekate’s friends. Try inhaling the scent of moonflowers before doing divination or before going to bed in order to produce prophetic dreams…”  From here…

Fascinating re how some peeps don’t have the genes to smell some white flowers???  But i would be wary re even copping a whiff of Moonflower now, having read this…from here

“…Highly toxic! WARNING! These are some of the names for Datura: Jimson Weed, Moonflower, Devil’s Weed, Hell’s Bells. Devil’s Cucumber, Thorn-Apple, Devil’s Trumpet, Pricklyburr…”

Does anyone know about this stuff??

It would be so anti-Saturn-in-Virgo/Pluto in Cap to addle one’s brains sniffing Moonflower scent in the garden under the nearly-Full Cancerian Moon…BUT then again, you can buy Moonflower body wash (?!) on Amazon…“…Used as a psychedelic in nordic traditions, the moonflower helps you find refuge. It is a blue escape, in the cold clear waters. with notes of boronia, freesia, apple blossom and birch, moonflower lit in the background will cause a welcome moment of recluse….”

But I am serious about the meditation though; most amazing weekend for it in yonks & may even help with the retro-Venus romantic nostalgia, if it strikes.

And another ancient Moon myth; the Babylon Moon God – Sin.

Cancerian Mood Swings Vs Gemini Mood Blats

As I have a Cancerian son & a Gemini daughter, I can confirm both signs are as moody as their reputation. But they’re different. Cancerians moods really do swing…one mood fades out and another fades in. It’s almost graceful – when their good mood swings around, it’s like the sun shining through clouds and there is (almost) a logical rythym to it…Like the tides. Or the Moon herself.

Gemini moods blat in and out with no discernable logic whatsoever. There is no segue nor even a cue. My Gemini blats from mild spite to being suffused with loving bliss in the bling of a millisecond. Like a lightening flash. That’s the difference between Moon & Mercury, I guess.  Cancerians are ruled by the Moon and Geminis by Mercury.

Like that beautiful old word,
“caprice.”

“Eymology: French, from Italian capriccio caprice, shudder, perhaps from capo head (from Latin caput) + riccio hedgehog, from Latin ericius more at head, urchin
Date:
1667
1 a: a sudden, impulsive, and seemingly unmotivated notion or action b: a sudden usually unpredictable condition, change, or series of changes 2: a disposition to do things impulsively…”
