At the same time, they neglected their son ' s inner life and feelings. As a result, he developed a fairly good career, but failed to make his own home. What is more, this person ' s career was ruined during the return of the Lunar Nodes due to family and personal problems.
But if the parents had taken the objectives of the radix Rahu into consideration, the tragedy would probably not have happened. It goes without saying that not only astrological information was necessary, but some efforts made by close relatives as well. These efforts do not need to be exorbitant, as any child imbibes everything happening around him like a sponge. For example, they should have pay attention to their son ' s role-playing with peers( family, doctor, kitchen, and zoo) in order to develop skills of listening, apprehension, feeling sorry, having emotions, and emphasizing. Or they could get a pet to look after and take care of. Or research the family history together, making a genealogical tree, collecting photos and facts about ancestors ' lives. At the same time it would have been reasonable to provide the son with some household chores or duties of caring of grandmother. Skills and habits acquired in childhood, new interests according to the top of the Lunar vector could have help the boy to fulfill himself successfully, and a decent career would have emerged naturally provided that Rahu in Cancer is worked thoroughly through.
The second stage of interpreting a child ' s horoscope is studying positions and interaction of planets. Many competent astrologers, guided by the Chaldean Order, concentrate mainly on the Moon( for a child under three) and Mercury( for a child between three and fourteen). I totally disagree with this. I am convinced that all the Septennaire works from the very babyhood, but planetary accents change depending on the period. So, it is crucial to know specifics of the horoscopal Moon for a child under one, alliance of Mercury and sensory part of Venus joins it at the age of two or three years, Mercury, Venus and Mars are leading planets for a child under six. When the child reaches the age of seven, we should consider Mercury, Venus, Mars and the Sun. We should fully decrypt all the planets of the Septennaire for a child of nine or older.
The Moon undoubtedly plays a leading part in a baby ' s radix. It shows what the baby likes, as well as the most comfortable way for him to adapt to the environment and the kind of care the baby needs.
According to the Moon I define an appropriate family ambiance and those shades of parental love that will allow him or her to be self-confident in adult life and feel the roots of safety that grow from the very babyhood. A baby with the Moon in Aries, for example, needs constant activity, that is why it is necessary to provide such a baby with conditions in which he could move a lot and in a diverse way. It can be a big playpen bed instead of a cradle or a basket, loose non-restraining clothes, obligatory exercises. Parents are recommended to communicate with the child on an intensive emotional tide and express their feelings in a bright, energetic and diverse way. A newborn with the Moon in Virgo is very likely to be sensitive to cleanness of the body and quality of nutrition, a baby with the Moon in Gemini needs a kaleidoscope of impressions, permanent communication with mom and other family members, the adults should talk to the baby all the time and not leave him alone.
The Moon is, of course, important not only in babyhood, but in the subsequent periods of childhood as well. The fact is, other planets will gradually come in liaison with it, but it will not reduce its importance.
For example, in a girl ' s radix the Moon( Aquarius, the 3rd tower) forms a square with Saturn( Scorpio, in asc.). Saturn also is trine conjunction of Venus and Jupiter and sextile the 3rd house cusp which it rules. This is a child with an inner rod and inherent discipline and consciousness. This astrological picture hinted that everything was well with Saturn, and it is only necessary to protect the Aquarius Moon against its influence in order to ensure the girl ' s emotional comfort and fulfillment. That is, it was necessary to saturate the girl ' s life with bright impressions, captivating informational whirl, cultivate originality and uniqueness of the child and let the wind of freedom in her childhood. Instead of all this the parents gripped the girl in the strict vice of Saturn. They grew the girl according to their personal idea of " proper upbringing ": strict discipline, routine, implicit obedience to adults. Under this pressing the girl formed complexes and phobias, poor selfevaluation. Only at the age of 35 she managed to unbrake herself, throw off the burden imposed by parents, love and fulfill herself.
Mercury( responsible for specifics of mentality in the horoscope) becomes active not during the period of schooling, but from the very babyhood. By the age of three child ' s brain has already become equal to an adult ' s brain in the quantity of neurons and connections between them, and during school years non-used connections begin to ruin. That is why it is crucial to set the stage of intellectual ability in early childhood and not to miss precious time. Hints given by Mercury will provide invaluable help. According to its position in the radix I tell the parents what methods are recommended
