This module gives the methods and technique for delineating a child's chart for their parents and deals with the following:

The Child

The problems and ethics of dealing with a minor. Their health, strength and energy. Discipline, parental style and approach. What does the child fear and where does the child feel most vulnerable? What are the first transits of the outer planets to the child's personal planets and how do they affect their development?

The Family

How does the child see or experience their mother?  How does the child see or experience their father?  What can the parents do to help the child with their perceptions of his or her parents? How does the child see or experience their grandparents? Do they need grandparents? What is the role of siblings in the child’s life?

Life Plan

Education and type of schooling. What will be the child’s attitude to school and studying? What will be the subjects to which the child will be drawn?  What will be the child’s reaction to changes in school, changes in school friends, and so on?

Natural Abilities

What does the child naturally seek and where do they naturally do well?  What are their difficulties, where can they get blocked and why?  What is the possible style of career path?

Life Events

The timing of major progressions and transits read in relationship with the stages of development in the child.

Twins and Multiple Births

How should the astrologer view two or more children who have the same chart?
