Here is a book written for parents of children who want to consider
whether or not astrology can help them to understand the potential
that their children have, and why their own children may be different
from themselves. What an odd concept for many parent to consider!
Could it be that our children can actually have different ways of
thinking from ourselves? Listen to what the astrology might say.
The book is a straightforward and clear presentation, easy to read
and well written, of basic astrology; but written for the parent
who wants his child to develop because it is its own person. There
is not a lot of spiritual explanation to the astrological text and
procedures, for at this stage it need not be there. The book presents
in a very clear and informative way the ideas a parent need to know
about astrology for their children’s sake, and at the same help
the parents understand how to apply basic principles of astrology
to understand their children’s different perspective.
I see a great need for a book like this. The explanations of basic
astrology are clear and concise. My primary fault with them is that
they explain astrology from strictly a Northern Hemisphere point of
view, which may leave some of our South American and Australian
parents a bit perturbed. the author states in the beginning that
you need not know anything about astrology to use this book and
the explanations about what astrology is how it works and how you
can use it to help your child, keep this promise. This is an
excellent introductory book on astrology geared toward the new
and not so new parent. Chapters on such topics such as the signs,
the planets, the houses, the emotional intellectual, and spiritual
needs provide a well rounded overview.
