Frisiangal,...........
One of my strengths is psychological astrology, and the ability to narrow down on what is the true core of the issue at hand.
This is my own 'territory approach' as well. Yet I remember one of my mentors telling me that a conflict within many astrologers is that they get caught up in their own Saturn when dealing with anyone outside themselves. There is an attempt to 'shield' others from what they themselves may have undergone and a chart can represent an extension of their own life experiences instead of being seen as a totally separate entity undergoing different circumstances.
Specifically, in this case, the question was about how the placements in her chart could be contributing to her being accident-prone. Since I'm of the firm belief that our thoughts and emotions produce/attract to us more of the same , I approached the reading of this particular chart from that angle. Since the accidents happening are a product of the energy she is putting out, it is a negative occurrence - so the negative roots needed to be addressed.
Young children are like small monkeys....still more animal-like than humanoid.
Why is having knocks and bruises as a child considered as 'being accident prone' as well as seen as negative of nature? Isn't using one's Mars THE manner in which to take action, from the moment the Mars-ruled muscles are used in opening our eyelids every morning and getting us out of bed to confront us with a world outside ourselves?
Mars is often considered more prominent as ruler of Scorpio in children. Where otherwise would the desire to assert one's power of strength and initiative of/in the unknown come from, whether that's through playful adventure, competitive sports or standing up to another? The little girl has a Scorpio Ascendant...she may 'dare to tread where others fear to go' and getting a knock or two on the way is part of that 'daring' that can overcome any intial fear (

Her mother asked for an answer - I gave it to her.
Is this saying that your answer is the right and only one?
The chart definitely shows that one of her major life lessons is to learn to stand up for herself, speak up for herself, and not be a people-pleaser to fit in. If she's having a string of accidents, however minor, they are a wakeup call to all involved that she is missing her lessons somewhere along the way. Yes, I know she is only a child, but what better age to "nip it in the bud"? Why wait till she gets older and has a big mess on her hands to dig her way out of?
She's 8 years old. Is she to go through her whole life being 'protected' from herself,....thus never going through with the actions and decisions she has made, that could possibly save the world with the outer planets all out of the personal signs? The child couod just as well possess a large humane spirit, which could be of great need (NN Cancer in 9) when she is older.
Children take the smallest of things to heart and have a hard time over them. I sincerely hope the child is freed of whatever is bothering her.
Like trying to run before she can walk?
I somehow sense that personally, you don't subscribe to the "thoughts and energy attract your circumstances" school of thought. And that's ok - but I do. And that is the approach I used in this chart.
You would be right in the sense that I was taught from the school of thought that all energy is personal related (i.e. it is part of me) and should I not use my Martian energy in the manner of its intent, I will 'attract circumstances' that brings its intent home...usually through others and through the body, of which bumps, knocks and scrapes are but a few of the minor ones. It's when Mars attracts violence and the knocks cause brain damage and scrapes become deep cuts that its intent has been misused in major proportions.
I hope that clears up any misunderstanding.
As do I.
