Astrology for Your Baby
by Patricia Sereno, Certified Astrologer

“We are star stuff harvesting sunlight.” —Carl Sagan

As a parent, have you ever wondered if there was an instruction manual for your new baby? Have you ever wanted to know what your baby’s special gifts, talents, and abilities are? Have you ever wished that you knew the perfect way to discipline or encourage your child? Have you ever felt frustrated when you were unable to support your baby when they faced challenges that were particular to them? Has your child ever gone through periods where you just don’t know what they want or need?

After 26 years of being an astrologer, I have decided to focus my private practice to help parents better understand their babies and children. There are so many sensitive children being born who need support to navigate this complex world. For me, astrology provides the best instruction manual that a parent can use. Parents can know right from the start what qualities their babies are born with and what their baby needs to develop in order to live a happy and fulfilling life.

Just like the acorn can become the oak tree, so too can your baby grow into all it can be. Your baby is born with everything she or he needs to grow into the unique individual that they can be. What is so exciting, is that when your baby is encouraged to fulfill their potential, they are much more likely to share their gifts with confidence, encouraging others to do the same, which ultimately will contribute to a better world!

Calculated from the birth date, birth time, and birth place, your baby’s Natal Chart is the instruction manual for which you have been looking. The dynamics of your baby’s personality, talents, abilities, character strengths and weaknesses, challenges, and special gifts are reflected in their Chart. With this information, you can better understand your baby today and for years to come. As a result, you can confidently guide your baby in the direction that is right for them, which can make your parenting years less stressful.

Astrology can also help you during periods when it is difficult to know what your baby wants or needs for their next stage of growth. The planets are always moving and in continuous relationship with each other as they orbit the Earth. Each planet has a cycle and represents a certain desire or need. As your baby grows, the cycles of the planets mark the different stages of your baby’s growth, astrologically. The qualities of the planet involved will explain “what” kind of stage your baby is going through.

For example, Mars completes its 1st cycle around the Earth in just under two years—the “terrible twos!” As Mars represents the power of desire, this is when your baby more clearly knows what he or she wants and is willing to go after it. This is also the time when they learn “No” and can outwardly rebel against parental wishes, throw things, and have temper tantrums. Because Mars is all about desire, this is the period your baby is exploring what they want and don’t want in their world. How great would it be if parents were taught these stages from the planetary point of view, so they can learn exactly what energies are involved at every stage of their baby’s growth?

Never before have parents been so eager to make sure their babies grow up to be who they are. In the past, babies needed to be what their parents wanted—sometimes their very survival depended on it! This is the way it was for thousands of years. Today, people are more conscious and wish to live life beyond physical survival. Today’s parents wish not only to feed, clothe, and shelter their children, they wish to support them in their individual life path.

In our modern society, the artist, as a baby, is supported to be creative in life. The people around us, the scientist, teacher, mechanic, healer, lawyer, salesman all began as babies—but what kind of support did they receive? Do they love what they do because it is natural for them? Or is it a struggle for them to be who they are expressing in the world? Did their parents identify their natural abilities early on and encourage them in the direction they knew was right for their baby? Or did they have to struggle to find a place to express themselves?

Think of how wonderful it would be if the natural talents, gifts, and abilities of babies were nurtured from birth, to school, to higher education, and then by our society as a whole. What a wonderful way to have a happier life for you and your baby today, as you prepare them for a full expression of who they are tomorrow.

How proud would you be, as a parent, watching your baby excel in what they are naturally good at? How would you feel knowing the exact kind of support that is right for your baby and how to deal with their challenges in a positive way? This is the way of the future, and astrology can help you help your baby bloom and grow in a way that is tailored to its individual needs and desires. As a result, through astrology, you can create better relationships with your babies and your babies with you. This builds a foundation for solid relationships from a place of true understanding, which promotes happier babies, happier parents, and happier families!

Patricia Sereno’s practice is a unique psycho-spiritual astrology, blending archetypes from Jungian psychology with different philosophical and spiritual principles. All this builds on the formal certification with honours that she earned in 1988 from the Faculty of Astrological Studies in London, England. She currently lives in Vancouver, British Columbia.
