A friend who runs a brand related to parent-child relationships and teaching asked me whether it’s possible to analyze children’s star charts to offer advice to many worried mothers.
It’s a very interesting idea. By looking at the Moon in a person’s birth chart, you can learn about the child’s sources of security, emotional expression, eating habits, temper tantrums, learning styles, and more.
However, I once heard American astrologer Jessica Lanyadoo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6X2XvIBzQE, starting at 44:30) share that if parents want to look at their children’s charts, she would make an agreement with the parents: she only discusses with the children directly. The child has the right to decide whether parents are allowed to know the details of their conversations.
She also mentioned that it’s not recommended for children to access information from their own charts. When astrologers examine adult charts and if their interpretations are inaccurate, adults can immediately recognize and challenge them. But children are different. Their understanding of their own lives is limited, and they are easily influenced by adult opinions, which can alter their perception of themselves.
Her suggested age limit for adults is “25 years old,” indicating that Jessica Lanyadoo still believes in the potential for destiny to change.
When analyzing an adult’s birth chart, we can assume that the “Moon” related to the mother has already been sufficiently experienced by the person, since the main time of being cared for by the mother has ended.
Of course, the influence of the mother does not stop there. However, to use astrology as a tool for parenting, we should focus on ourselves.
Every mother was once a child with memories of being cared for by her mother, which can be considered as sample data. Our relationship with our mother and our interaction patterns deeply influence who we become as adults.
After becoming mothers ourselves, we tend to replicate or optimize based on this sample data. So, our children are inevitably influenced by these experiences.
No matter what actions we take, if we recognize that we act for reasons rooted in ourselves, we are more likely to adjust according to our children's needs.
If we only have a superficial understanding of our actions—especially if influenced by subconscious “childhood memories”—it can lead to fixations that hinder us from achieving the true benevolence we intend.
This “subconscious” is often referred to as the “inner child.” No matter how old we are, there is always a child within us. That inner child might be well taken care of or filled with resentment. Regardless, as adults, we have the capacity to learn how to nurture this inner child.
When the inner child is in a comfortable state, we can naturally treat our children more objectively, respecting differences, and knowing when to stand firm. Observing the Moon in a birth chart reveals information about this inner child.
The focus of the following articles will be on how to look at one’s childhood through the lens of the Moon sign, and how to understand possible traumas of the “inner child.”
