From a Good WItch, at Goodreads.com

This information was volunteered to me after I gave a book review stating I needed more info on how to raise my Taurus child. I just provided some birth dates:

(I am):
SUN: Capricorn, born close to the cusp with Sagittarius (so you have some of those qualities as well) ***A character in a Janet Evanovitch book with a similar sign said this made him a "sensitive asshole."
DAY: Gemini
MOON: Sagittarius

(My) child:
SUN: Taurus, born close to the cusp with Aries
DAY: Aquarius
MOON: my moon chart doesn't go up that far, so I don't know his moon. Do you? It changes every 48 hours or so.

Okay, you are a Capricorn, which means you are very organized, not personable, and have little patience with people. But you are born close to the cusp with Sagittarius, and you have a Sagittarian Moon. This makes you very personable, talkative, easily scattered, lover of physical activity like dance/sports/etc., and incredibly disorganized. Gemini is talkative, scattered, disorganized beyond belief. So you have a great conflict going on within you. The organized, not very talkative Capricorn is very irritated with the disorganized, chatty Gemini/Sag part of you.

I only have your son's Sun and Day because my Moon chart doesn't go up into 2004, but that is enough to see the conflicts you are having with him. He is incredibly organized, intelligent, and STUBBORN. Your Gemini/Sag tendencies, while very likeable, drive him NUTS, even at this early age. He is a Taurus born close to the cusp with Aries. Aries is very intelligent, positive, organized, a trail-blazer. You never have to worry about an Aries child. They will take care of themselves and do a very good job of it. Fall down, and they get right back up to try again with a smile on their faces. But because they are born leaders, they only listen to that inner Aries tune. Taurus is slow and patient, a good buffer for the Aries who moves fast and is impatient. However Taurus is STUBBORN with all caps (grin). Can't move them no matter what. Mix that with Aries, and he is a force to be reckoned with!

He is born on the day of Aquarius, making him very intelligent, incredibly organized, a fast talker/walker/thinker. I love Aquarians...they are so efficient! But because of this they barely notice other people, meaning they find few people they deem worthy to talk to. I have known Aquarian children who wouldn't say a single word to anyone for two years. It isn't that they have a problem. They just don't feel like talking.

Mix this with Taurus and Aries and you have an even greater force to be reckoned with in this child. He is organized, super intelligent, and will follow his own voice no matter what anyone else tells him (if he even acknowledges others). This kid is a born leader and destined to greatness. But this is going to drive your Capricorn nuts. His sign mix just irritates a Capricorn to no end. Capricorn craves control. Aries/Taurus/Aquarius KNOWS he has the control and just smiles about it. Plus, he can sense the great conflict within you, and knows he has more astrological control than you ever will...your disorganized/scattered tendencies are just too great. And he knows it. One day (sooner than you think) he will be running intellectual and organizational circles around you, and you'll never catch up. And he knows this. Wow, what a kid!

So my first advice is don't worry about this kid. He is going to be just fine. He knows where he is going in life, and doesn't feel the need to let anyone else in on that knowledge. To train him as a parent you will have to find a way to make him think your suggestions are his ideas, not yours. NEVER tell him outright what to do. You'll come up against a stubborn wall that won't budge. I'm sure you already know that. Instead become the one who feeds his intelligence. Give him stimulating books and games...he will master them quickly. He will work more easily with you if you become his partner in life rather than his teacher. Thing is by becoming his partner you will be his teacher (but he doesn't have to know that *grin*). This way you will become someone he will respect, which is the most important thing to him. He may never feel you are his intellectual equal, but he will respect you and that will be just as important to him. Otherwise, he will eventually cut you out of his life by choosing not to tell you anything. I can see this happening as early as the first grade in school.

How does this sound? Any questions or specific problems you are encountering with him you would like to ask me about?

Hope this helps! Also, do you know his Moon from the chart that was already done on him?

I then commented that Mr/ Taurus and his father, the Libra, often butt heads like rams. DOB #3 was provided:

What a hoot! Here's your husband...

SUN: Libra
DAY: Gemini
MOON: Virgo

You two are a good match, but not in the way you might think (grin). This is an incredibly disorganized mix for your husband. Bless his heart! So together you are the disorganized couple with a super organized son. Ha!

Libra is the sign of beauty, meaning he is either very good-looking or he is in a "beautification" business (home decor, something to do with physical beautifcation, interior design, floor covering, art, etc.). Libra is also called the NES sign (a combination of yes and no), because they can't make a decision to save their lives! These are the people who go to a restaurant and send the server back a zillion times and end up ordering the thing they always order (maddening!)

They are also terminally disorganized, scattered, and avoid confrontation at all costs. He is born on the day of Gemini, so you know that that means...chatty, scattered, disoragnized.

His moon is Virgo...Yikes! This is where all the head-butting with your son comes in. Aries and Virgo are an oil and water mix...explosive! Virgo is the manipulator of the zodiac. But it is usually emotional manipulation (complete with hysterical fits). Their nerve-endings stick out way more than everyone else, so EVERYONE bothers them. And they never forget all the "supposed" wrongs against them. Moody people for sure. As well as disorganzed and messy. Virgos act nice up front, but are plotting all the time how they are going to get you to do what they want. No way your husband can let your son do his own thing. Kind of like your husband wants your son to do everything his way...as soon as his disorganized self figures out what that is. All the time your son can sense this and loses patience with it. What a pair they are!

Unless your husband can control his Virgo and all that manipulation, he will lose touch with your son year after year until they are not very close at all. Best thing he can do is let your son do his own thing (yeah, right *grin*) and cut out all the hissy fits in your son's presence. That overboard emotion will make your son lose respect for your husband faster than anything. Your son sees it as a total waste of time, and just can't understand it.

Good luck with that. You have your hands full for sure! :)

Since I am forever telling Kevin that his Qi is on the surface, I am sure he will be very offended by this. That is, if he can make a decision one way or another. Hee Hee!!! :-) At least he's beautiful.
