When reading children's charts

[noideaaboutastro]

What is important to understand?

For instance I want to read my son's chart but I don't want to read into anything too much,a nd I understand that astrology is a tool not a future predictor. It is unethical? What things should I keep in mind?

Just look at the 5th house to see what his hobbies are, look at the Moon, to see how is is likely to express his emotions, look at the Sun to see how he likes to express himself and if he needs more attention. When he has personal planets in 12 he might need some time by himself sometimes, especially when in puberty. Look at his Venus and see how he gives out and/or receives love. With Venus-Jupiter aspects very cuddly, with Venus-Saturn a bit less, bit aloof maybe. And very important is looking at his 3rd house and Mercury to see how he thinks. It often shows how a child does in school, if he is a fast thinker, a slow one needing more time etc. Things like that. This will make you more understanding of his character.

Just dont go into progressions or try to look into his future. Certainly not when you are not extremely experienced with years of astrology behind you. Dont look at career houses, dont look at relationships. Those things will come when he is approaching 18 or so. By then you also will know more about astrology and then you could start looking at those things.
