I think it’s a FABULOUS Idea

I’ve mentioned before,[ that I believe] astrology is basically just psychology with a cosmic twist. It’s a tool to help us better understand ourselves, the people we connect/are connected with, and the universe as a whole. I feel that many of us could have avoided a few formative wounds if our parents had perhaps entertained astrology or applied it when raising us.

For Example 

A parent observes their child, tends to be a bit of a spitfire. They are a bit hyperactive, aggressive, may have a short temper but also very good at being a self-starter. The parent does not know why and resolves to put their child in constant time outs, constant scolding, or behavioral pharmaceuticals. However, a simple look at the child’s chart would tell you that the reason they are like that is that they are an Aries with a Scorpio rising and Mars in the first house. This child doesn’t necessarily need Ritalin, they need a healthy outlet for all that Martian energy. They’re probably a natural-born athlete, so sports, dancing, boxing, meditation, are all suitable alternatives to punishments that make their child feel there is something wrong with them or medicines that could have long term side effects.

EX 2

A parent knows their child is due in early March. They pull their baby’s birth chart and see their child will have a Pisces stellium. This can help the parent understand that their baby will most likely be a dreamer, sensitive, impressionable, quite creative and perhaps have a lot of talent with art, music, drawing, or singing. The parent can put headphones over their belly to help bolster the child’s cognitive development in that realm. Studies have shown that it helps with intellectual development. They can also get a headstart on nursery [add lots of art or fantastic pictures that develop the child’s creativity] or even research schools to send their child to that cater to creative arts.

Ex 3

A parent has a stellium of Capricorn Energy and a Rising in Aquarius. They know they are a tough, cerebral, thick-skinned, and no-nonsense individual. They, however, have a child who is a Libra, Cancer Moon, Pisces Mercury, Pisces Venus, and Libra Mars. This child will be the antithesis of them. What the parent can do by understanding their child’s birth chart is to approach the child with more compassion. More patience. They can even put the child in self-defense classes so they have a method of sticking up for themselves since these placements may make them prone to passivity and therefore, bullying [in layman’s terms]. Methods like these can help the parent-child relationship avoid any bitterness, resentment, or trauma [both] carry moving forward in life. These are just a few examples [there are plenty more] but all in all, the use of astrology with familial ties in my opinion, could be beneficial to all parties involved.
