Many of you are parents and I am very interested to see how many of you have introduced your children to astrology.What age did you do so ? Did it come about naturally?Is it something that is better left for adults?If you did , how did you go about it ? Any input would be appreciated
Even if not a parent I'd still like to know your viewpoint ^^
When my kids were young, I was a stay at home mom and a professional astrologer. I tried doing a lot of the work while they were in school, but often they would overlap. They knew that when I had a client they had to play in the yard or quietly in their rooms.
We lived in very open minded, liberal California Beach Town, so there were no recriminations really. But when we moved and bought a home in a much more conservative, uptight community, my kids were reticent about having their mom be
the local astrologer. The few people we first met were very derogatory about it, and the kids were nervous about being in a new town etc.
I pretty much contained my work to my old town and my old, long term clients. In this new town I switched to Feng Shui,which was much more acceptable and hip.
My son, the aries/leo has never had much interest in Astrology. My daughter has learned
quite a bit, but she has her future career well mapped out already.
One thing I did for my daughter was to show her the synastry of her bf's chart with hers.
When she first began dating someone I would look at their chart, draw up the synastry, and write pertinent notes, and date the event.
Weeks or months later, when things hit crisis, I would drag out the notes, and she could look at them. She really learned to value the authenticity from those experiences. He last boyfriend made a huge, exact grand square to her t-square to her Moon in Aquarius. Wow, did that ever play out the way I called it.
