« HOW DO I WORK WITH A CHILD ' S RADIX » for the development of their child ' s intelligence and speech, what are the specifics of the child ' s perceptions and trainability.
For example, If Mercury is retrograde, or vespertine, or slow of course, I usually recommend not to be in a hurry when communicating with the child, not to plunge him or her in the ocean of information, but to acquaint with new material in a measured way. It is necessary to resort to multiple repetitions and different variants of acquaintance with the same phenomenon, object or word when developing such a child. And when this child goes to school, it is reasonable to inform the teacher that your first grader is " not quick ". In case Mercury is direct, matutine, swift in motion, the child ' s brain needs to be saturated with various pieces of information, plunge him or her in a kaleidoscope of impressions, but at the same time you need to check, in a playform, whether the child has learned the material or he has already forgotten the new information.
Analysis of the position of Venus, sovereign of assessment and features, is also crucial for a child ' s radix, as it is the early age that is intended for sensory education. What are the color, form and size of an object or a toy? What is it for the touch? What sounds does it utter? How does it smell? What it tastes like? A child with Venus in Taurus will not have any problems in learning characteristics of an object in a direct contact, but the parents are recommended to concentrate on developing the child ' s imagination. If Venus is in Virgo, the child will easily reveal and define each characteristic feature, but it will be difficult for him to merge them or to compare two objects.
Mars becomes active after the age of three, and it equals the Moon, Mercury and Venus in influence. At this age children not only become physically active, learning new movements( for example, jumping on one foot), but attempt to act independently and implement intentions. According to the position, aspects and rulership of Mars I define features of activity: if it is necessary to slow down or stimulate the child, where it is reasonable to safeguard the child in order to avoid traumas, if there are ways of overcoming fears and faint-heartedness.
And how important the Sun is in childhood! Its influence is clearly seen during the first age-specific crisis already. It is the celestial body that forces a child to say at the age of three " I ' ll do it myself!", separating from close relatives. An Aries child will insist on his or her intention openly and bellicosely, a Leo will cry with theatrical tears, a Capricorn will try to implement his will with stubbornness, Pisces will cry pitifully or find a bypass. Parents can easily manage the crisis of three years, if they distract their child from his " I want " and " myself " according to the specifics of the child ' s solar sign. By the age of seven the Sun has already gathered the necessary momentum; child ' s self-consciousness has been sufficiently developed, so parents can rely upon their child ' s conation. By the way, the Orthodox Church often admits children to the Eucharist from the age of seven, when human beings are already able to be responsible for their deeds.
When a child begins to learn how to live in a school community, obey rules and laws, contact people of different hierarchical position, it is necessary to analyze the social Jupiter and Saturn in order to help him. Here I anticipate a bit and consider the whole radix and disclose the information about potential talents and promising professions, business qualities and interests likely to be shown by their son or daughter.
All parents have three fundamental goals on Earth: acquaint their child with our world, facilitate adaptation to new earthly conditions; provide him or her with knowledge accumulated by our kind; help to fulfill in life. Horoscope functions like a navigator and allows adults to carry out their parental functions not by intuition and all at sea, but consciously and wisely. ■
