Maybe I can post Caylee's "Io Child" interpretation in chunks. So as not to have 23 pages in one post. Then you all can download and staple the pages together.
here goes the first section:
An Astrological Profile for Caylee
Childhood is a time filled with promise. A new life, fresh beginnings, and for parents and teachers -- its the ultimate challenge. How many times have parents wondered why kids did not come with instruction manuals?! Theres a secret: they do!
Each person is born at a special time, on a certain day and place. Astrologers use this information to chart the positions of the planets relative to the date, time and place of birth. This chart, or horoscope, provides an invaluable and exceptional view of the potentials, drives and needs for Caylee. This is the "cosmic guidebook" for each individual! The patterns of the planets, Sun and Moon are unique and notable for a developing child, since in childhood these pictures are seen in a different light. Children are changing rapidly, and, in the process of becoming themselves, need special love and guidance. Developmental Astrology incorporates the basic concepts of astrology within the framework of the early years of life.
This astrological report can be used as a guidepost, and provides a few hints and insights into the unique qualities of this child. Please remember that everyone -- including a child -- has free will. So while an astrological report can give you some valuable information, it does not indicate a fixed set of limited options. Of course environment also has its influence, but by understanding the significant drives and needs represented by Caylees chart, you can better appreciate her uniqueness, and, hopefully, guide her to fulfill her potentials in the healthiest possible way!
I. Basic Underlying Personality Traits
There are several layers to an astrological chart, just as there are layers to the personality. In astrology, the building blocks of the chart are the planets, signs and houses of the chart. Youll see these terms scattered throughout this report. In a nutshell, the planets (plus the Sun and Moon) represent specific energies and drives. These drives each have a different purpose in the developing personality. The twelve signs of the zodiac represent qualities, characteristics and traits. The houses (the twelve divisions of the chart wheel or circle) symbolize the facets of a persons life. In the drama of life, the planets represent the actors, the signs show the roles the actors play, their costumes and props, and the houses illustrate the setting and scene of the play.
Using the building blocks of the zodiac signs, theres yet another layer. Each sign falls into categories called elements and modes. There are four elements -- fire, earth, air and water; and there are three modes (or action models) -- cardinal, fixed and mutable. Theres a way to distill the chart into its dominant element and mode of expression, and this leading denominator gives a powerful clue to the strongest underlying personality traits.
In Caylees chart, there is an outstanding quality of Fire. Having a powerful influence of fiery energy, Caylee is likely to be highly energetic. She needs plenty of room and ample opportunities to assert herself. Sports may be a strong interest, but, at the least, staying active is important. Encourage Caylee to funnel these active needs by providing plenty of options, from early sports, like gymnastics or dance classes to recreational activities that involve physical assertion. Babies with strong fire can be irritable if they are not given ample opportunities to get rid of physical stress (yes, babies experience stress, too!). Basically, Caylee loves play, and fiery temperament babies and young children need plenty of active time with Mom and Dad. Even when she grows up, play will be important, and she will be happiest when anything feels more like play than work! There can also be selfishness with the fiery quality. One thing to keep in mind with Caylee is the fact that you must tend a fire: either to keep it burning or to keep it from blazing out of control.
With little or lacking Water, Caylee can have difficulty understanding and accepting the emotional needs of others -- and her own emotional needs! Encourage Caylee to accept and express her feelings more openly through creative and artistic endeavors. Music can be especially helpful. However, getting in touch with water itself -- swimming, going to the beach, or enjoying an aquarium can help, too. Talk openly with Caylee about learning to trust and value intuition, since this will help her feel more comfortable with inner sensibilities.
There are three modes in astrology. These determine how a particular sign manifests its energy. These qualities -- known as cardinal, fixed and mutable -- have special meanings in astrology. Each sign or the zodiac correlates with one of three modes of action.
Caylees chart shows a strong emphasis of Fixed signs. She can feel very stabilizing, but can also be extremely stubborn! At its best, the fixed quality indicates a need to preserve and to maintain the status quo. She can be consistent and patient, and will appreciate and respect consistency from parents and teachers. There can also be inflexibility, resistance and obsessiveness that can be rather difficult to manage or accept. Caylee really needs to finish things, and can become upset if too many things are left undone..
In summary, if an element or mode is low or lacking, theres no reason to be highly concerned, but you can find creative ways to help Caylee compensate. Focusing on what the lack of any mode or element might mean for the child can prove beneficial, although this should not be interpreted as an actual "personality deficiency." Rather, understand that this could indicate either a tendency to overcompensate or to seek what is lacking in some way. As your child matures, you might discover that she is drawn to others who seem to possess the expressions of a quality that seems to be lacking in her own chart.
