Can Parents Explain the Personalities of Their Children With Astrology?

Parents often wonder when they have more than one child, how different the personalities are.  Many professionals differ over what most influences our personalities, nature vs. nurture.  With that in mind, it might be fun to take a look at how the planets may affect us prior to being born.

Astrologers believe that the planets in our solar system have much to do with our individual personalities.  Some believe that the planets themselves affect our personality by either gravity or some unknown force the planets possess.  Others believe that the basic patterns of the universe repeat itself, therefore mirroring human personality and planets.  Whether or not you believe in that, it is fascinating to see what planet you most closely resemble. 

Sun  ...  The Sun represent the personal expression, creativity, the conscious ego, personal power, pride and authority, leadership guidelines, health and vitality, and the life force.  Basically, the sun is for the creative and powerful people.

Moon ...  The Moon represents unconscious habits, memories and moods, rhythms, emotional make-up, natural instincts of a mother, and the ability to act and react to those around them.

Mercury ...  Mercury represents principals of communication, mentality, thinking patterns, adaptivity, and rationality. 

Venus ...  Venus represents beauty, balance, affection, romance, harmony, sympathy, arts, fashion, and life.  Venus is thought of being very feminine.

Mars  ...  Mars represents confidence, aggression, strength, energy, ambition and impulses.  Mars is thought of being for the very athletic and competitive people.

Jupiter ...  Jupiter is growth, expansion, prosperity and fortune, inner sense of justice and mercy.

Saturn ...  Saturn represents limitation, restrictions, practicality, boundaries, and reality.

Uranus  ...  Uranus represents genius, individuality, new ideas, electricity, and inventions.  This would definitely be Einstein's planet.

Neptune  ...  Neptune is illusion, fantasy, creativity in arts and music, sensitivity, imagination, altered mental state and confusion and deception with religion and spirituality.

Pluto  ...  Pluto is considered a "great renewer" representing the part of a person that destroys in order to renew, power and personal mastery.

For fun, take a look at your close family members.  What planet would you ascribe to each of your parents?  What about your siblings?  Which planet would most likely describe you and your spouse?  Now, how about the kids?

Again, for fun, do you see parts of your personalities in your children and parts from the co-parent?  Or, are they more leaning to one or the other of you?

Kids are a product of their parents, both genetically and by the nature and nurture of the relationship.  But, wouldn't it be great if we could lay blame on the planets for the part of our personalities that are not so admirable?

Of course, we want to take credit for all of the complimentary aspects of our personalities, as well as our children's.  After all, we nurtured those qualities until we were blue in the face. 

So, the next time you are having a proud moment for your child's behavior, pat yourself on the back!  You did a good job!  But, when are having one of those moments that you would like to hide your head in the sand through, blame it on the planets!
