The Birth Chart is a picture of the sky at the exact moment of a person’s birth, that is, a survey of the positions of the stars at a particular time and place on planet Earth, showing the unique qualities of the individual. From this image, it is possible to get important information about the personality and how the person functions in his or her unconscious and in the world.
Astrology is a tool that helps us get to know people, deal with them, and let them be what they are, each one different from the other, with all their diversity and uniqueness.
In this text you will understand what the Birth Chart for Children is, its importance, what it takes to do it, at what age it can be done, if the type of birth influences the chart, and what are the characteristics of the child of each sign.
The Importance of the Children’s Chart
Although it is the child’s chart, it plays an important role for the parents as the agents responsible for the upbringing of that individual. It is the study of astrology aimed at helping parents understand how to look at their children in an integral way, providing an upbringing and education according to their potentials.
The child is a developing being, and the analysis of his chart will allow the parents to boost his development within the indications of areas where he has better development, in order to better explore his potentials and the activities that will help him get in touch with them.
It is also a tool to understand what the child’s personality is, what the moment is, how to deal with each situation, including food, health, sleep, choice of the best school, sport, type of play, relationship with art, and everything that nourishes her soul.
By carefully respecting the child’s characteristics, parents can offer the best possible incentives for the child to grow within its true essence.
It is a compass that helps to understand the pure strength of that being and of what it can become one day.

Each one is unique, which is why it is important to educate with this view and understand that each individual has his own matrix and power to be in the world. In this way, the child astrological chart allows parents to understand what the child can and cannot offer, without projecting or expecting something that is not part of their nature.
By encouraging their strengths, that “little being” is stimulated to trust in themselves, developing self-esteem so that they can project themselves into the world with their potentials and with the issues that need to be improved.
In the formation of a child’s character, the family environment, the school, the culture, and everything that surrounds him/her are influential, but one cannot forget that that being is already born with the seed of his/her personality.
How this seed is nurtured will make all the difference to its formation. By understanding the unique essence of the individual, parents can become guides towards the realization of that being.
Important points about the child chart
The primary points to be observed in a child’s chart, as a basis for parents’ awareness of how to help their children build their uniqueness, are: the Sun, the Moon, the Ascendant, and the Midheaven.
The Sun
The sun sign brings awareness of who one is. With this understanding, parents get in touch with how the child recognizes authority and his role in the world, building the security that he can be a manager of his own life and reality.
The Ascendant
The ascendant for the child plays a very important role. It is the sign that was being born at the time he took his first breath. A remarkable and present energy, because it is the first perceptions of this “little being” when it arrives in the world. By understanding the essence of the ascendant, parents can provide that the child grows up empowered that his/her uniqueness was respected.
The Moon
The sign of the moon in a child chart represents the family, the sensitivity, the emotional baggage that the child will carry throughout life. It deals with the basic structure of trust in the relationships that that being will have in life, outlining their emotional needs. By understanding this emotional dynamic, parents can nurture their children, leaving them strong enough to be their best version in life.
The Midheaven
The sign of the Midheaven allows parents to prepare the child for the world and what will be faced out there. Through the development of their skills the child will be secure in carrying out their mission in the world. By studying the child chart, it is possible to identify the child’s set of potentials, their most positive qualities, discover keys to transforming areas of challenge, as well as the stages and phases in which processes occur on the timeline.
How often can the Child Map be done?
The Child Map will be done only once! After the child turns 12 years old, he/she can directly receive a more in-depth reading of his/her chart.
Does premature birth, caesarian section….change anything?
Before we get into how a being is born, we have to remember that the birth chart is nothing more than a picture of the sky at the exact moment of birth, when the person takes their first breath.
The premature birth is the one that takes place before the period predicted as normal for pregnancy, while the c-section is a birth made at a scheduled time, given the health conditions of mother and child.
Although premature birth happens before the expected date and C-section happens at an appointed date and time, in astrology this has no influence, since the portrait of the sky at the time of birth is considered.
