Below is an extract from "The Message of the Stars" where Max Heindel addresses the influence of an Aries Sun sign on a child's personality. Obviously this provides only a general overview of the child's personality; to truly understand the depth and complexity of your child's personality we need to examine the placement of all the planets, rising sign aspects between the planets and much more. It does however make interesting reading, and I hope will encourage you to delve a little deeper into understanding the part astrology plays in forming your child's character.

If you'd like to learn more about your own child's full astrological birth chart, life path and destiny then there are several reports available in the astrology chart shop that are written with your child in mind.

Pisces children are of a marked negative disposition, subject to varying moods, and are, like the children of Aquarius, very sensitive to the mental atmosphere in their environment. For that reason it is of the greatest importance that parents of these children should guard them during childhood against the influences of bad companions, for the old proverb about "bad company corrupting good manners" applies with ten-fold strength to these children, and they will absorb good or evil with equal facility. So until they have learned to choose for themselves the good things, it is especially necessary for their natural guardians to shield them. They also have a strong tendency to mediumship.

These children are very peaceable in disposition and suffer injury rather than fight for their rights, not because they do not care, for they are very jealous especially when born in the latter part of the sign, but because the Piscean nature is averse to exertion, and generally they do not want to take the trouble to fight for their rights. Therefore the parents should see that a certain amount of work is allotted to them during the earliest years, for it is then that the habits are formed and the nature is the most plastic. They can learn to be diligent with must less effort at that time than during the later stages of life. Once the Pisces child has started doing a piece of work it will probably be a surprise to others to watch them and see the methodical way they go at it, making every move count until the task has been completed with seemingly very little effort on their part. Honesty is another of the virtues of the Pisces children; they are usually dependable can be trusted with secrets in full confidence that they will not betray the trust.

Pisces children are generally kind and sympathetic, cordial and suave in manner, qualities which will of course bring them many friends. They are notoriously fond of good things to eat, they revel in rich goods, and are also prone to be fond of drink. If these tendencies are allowed to work themselves out they will of course ruin the life, and besides bring on a train of disease. Therefore the parents of these children should endeavor by precept and example to teach them the simple life, frugality and control of the appetite during the years when habits are formed.
