Rad and All,
Honestly, I feel like this might be the most important post I have made. This is a safe space to seek "wise counsel". I have read in the EA Glossary and the old message board about natural parenting, I do feel like me and my partner are natural parents.
I have been getting more moms who want me to look at their children's charts, and selfishly I am wanting to utilize this platform to understand more from a parental standpoint as well (which I feel like I do to a certain degree). I feel like projection could be a big obstacle in utilizing astrology with your own children, but also, it could be an invaluable tool if we are to remain objective. To not view children as an extension of us, but of their own sovereignty. I have two children and if EA doesn't let you know soul's come in as their own people, having your own children will (my two are diametrically different and I love it). From the standpoint of EA what is the best way to utilize astrology to be a natural parent?
What should we look for in a chart as parents as to how to parent in a natural form? What advice would you give?
This is coming from a place of me wanting to help not only my children, but clients who have been coming to me about their children.
How would we utilize composites and synastry with children? So often it is hard to understand the evolutionary stage of our children when they are younger without projecting. What advice would you give for this? I know for me the older my kids get the easier it is to understand their evolutionary stage, but how do we counsel parents on their children when they want to understand how to be a better parent? It is so difficult because from a parental standpoint, most often I feel parents DO project.
Could we start a thread for children with Pluto through the houses? I feel like this would be so beneficial to me helping others.
Much Love and Gratitude,
Jordyn
Hi Jordon,
From the standpoint of EA what is the best way to utilize astrology to be a natural parent? What should we look for in a chart as parents as to how to parent in a natural form?

One of the beauties of EA astrology is that it allows for an objective understanding of any given soul including children: the past that has set up the current life, and the ongoing evolution of the Soul within their own context. If a parent desires to know the inherent individuality of the child, children, and then parent and give to them exactly what they need from that understanding that is the very best way to naturally parent.
Parenting is this way is totally different than parents who desire to make their kid, their children, extensions or images of themselves.
A simple example is a story I heard from one of my clients who had a kid and objectified it's nature right away relative to the child's birth chart from an EA point of view. She knew from that chart that that child had lessons coming into this life of giving, sharing, and inclusion relative to some recent prior lives. So what this mother did right away, so simple, was to put something in the child's hand, let it be there a bit, then take it away for a moment, and them put it right back in the child's hand. She did this when the child was really, really young, maybe a month old if I remember right, and did this over and over.
This little story illustrates what EA astrology can do when any Soul desires to objectify itself or another, including a child.

In the same way as we do with anyone. The key of course, as ever, is to be objective about the dynamics between each child and each parent.

The best thing to do is to allow the child to simply grow and get older so that the evolutionary state for any child REVEALS ITSELF.

There is really no need to that because the archetypes of Pluto through the houses are the same for all Souls no matter what their age is.
