The AQUARIUS Child

The dream-child moving through a land
Of wonders wild and new,
In friendly chat with bird or beast-
And half believe it true.

According to Mother Goose, a child dressed in blue embodies snips and snails and puppy-dog tails. Yet, if that child enters the world in February, discard those old notions. This infant is molded from the raw material of Uranus, destined to make you chase after them as they venture into the unexplored territories of tomorrow.

They are a bundle of sensitivity, stubbornness, independence, and boundless creativity. Even with a cautious Taurus ascendant, their thoughts move at the speed of Uranian lightning. Their minds vibrate with high-frequency beams, and as they grow, you may find yourself sending out an S.O.S. to keep up with them.

Parents of an Aquarian child often find themselves pondering whether to send them to a remote farm, where they won't startle the neighbors, or to let the world know casually that their offspring might win a Pulitzer someday. It's a dilemma. Oh yes, it is. The Pulitzer is within reach, but I would advise observing them on the farm for a few summers. Watch. Wait. They might invent a revolutionary plow or simply consume the entire pantry. It all depends. There are no set rules when it comes to Aquarians.

I once knew a mother in New York who affectionately called her Uranian son "the Bronx Wonder" without further explanation. Her relatives and neighbors were just as perplexed as she was. Nobody could tell if the nickname referred to his possession of three heads or his destined spot in the Hall of Fame. As fate would have it, he turned out to be a skilled basketball player, and most people assumed that was the reason behind the moniker. But they jumped to conclusions too quickly. The story is far from over. Currently, he dabbles in composing musical scores that may grace Broadway or find their place in the wastebasket. He also takes on small roles in detective films and eagerly auditions for TV commercials seeking extraterrestrial types to approach flying saucers in automobile advertisements. Additionally, he's tinkering with an undisclosed invention in his bedroom, sandwiched between watching the Mets play and devouring pickle sandwiches. Unfortunately, I cannot provide any hints about the invention since he guards its secret closely. He possesses a peculiar fascination with clocks and watches, so it may have something to do with a time machine (a common Aquarian obsession). Only time will reveal its nature. There's no need to rush. Many Aquarians don't unleash their electric sparks of genius upon the world until they reach the tender age of fifty. The wait can be nerve-wracking, to say the least. Of course, there are Aquarian child prodigies, but let's focus on your average Aquarian youngster (if such a thing exists).

They may end up working for the FBI or a private detective agency (as they possess a fondness for solving mysteries) and become an ordinary, sensible, conservative citizen (though I wouldn't hold my breath, it's a possibility). For now, let's concentrate on their formative years. That way, you'll have a fighting chance to guide this Uranus rocket in some semblance of a direction.

Until maturity tempers their Uranian influences and society shapes them with conventional norms, Aquarian children can exhibit strong negativity. Their immediate response to a command or even a pleasant suggestion is often a resounding "no." However, if given time to contemplate and ponder, you'll be surprised at how many times they arrive at sensible conclusions?answers they discovered on their own, deemed correct and acceptable.

On the surface, these boys and girls can appear calm and docile, but the northern wind can suddenly turn them upside down (or is it topsy turvy? With Aquarians, anything is possible). They are unpredictable in their behavior, yet lovable and often amusing. The February child can be a whirlwind to contend with. I use that analogy because Aquarians and Uranus rule over air travel, planes, and figures like Charles Lindbergh. Curiously enough, many of these children possess an irrational fear of planes, elevators, and even electricity (also under Uranus's domain). Guiding and channeling them can be a challenge. They have no idea where they are going, but they hold definite opinions on how to get there.

Raising and educating these "wonders" is a significant responsibility. Their minds blend fixed practicality with uncanny perception and sharp, probing logic. The mixture can be uncomfortably embarrassing when your Aquarian child asks your best friend why she got a facelift (which she did) or interrogates your Uncle Elmer about his past tax evasion in front of an Internal Revenue agent (which he also did).

Aquarians are eager to assist their friends. Buy your Aquarian boy a brand new pair of boots, and he will wear them out on the first day, all for the sake of creating a smooth surface for the neighborhood kids to sled on.

Expect your February child to harbor dreams and hold onto them tightly until new dreams take their place. A girl might imagine herself as a prima ballerina, dedicating herself purely to her art, surpassing even Pavlova, or she may thirst to become the first female president or aspire to follow in the footsteps of Madame Curie. As for the boys, they might envision themselves as oceanographers, ichthyologists, archaeologists, anthropologists, exterminators, or tree surgeons. Mundane career choices like nurses, secretaries, clerks, salespeople, teachers, bankers, and brokers are too ordinary for the average Aquarian child's fantasies. Eventually, they may settle for one of these occupations, but the original dream will remain tucked under their left ear, never forgotten. It's uncanny, but Aquarians can sometimes make things happen simply by concentrating on them and patiently waiting.

You'll never know what to expect from day to day. This child may refuse to stay indoors when it rains and venture out with your best sterling silver tablespoon, using it to dig a trench to prevent the hill behind the house from eroding.

Do you remember the old verse from your childhood that goes, "The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see. The other side of the mountain, the other side of the mountain, the other side of the mountain was all that he could see"? Well, your Aquarian child will have better luck. They will find something there?perhaps a pot of gold or a new species of woodpecker. None of their explorations will ever lead to a dead end or a total loss.

I skipped over the infant stage because Aquarians are never infants. They are born middle-aged. However, many of them do experience the toddler stage, and during this precarious period, you might want to consider getting a seeing-eye dog. Keep the dog until your little Uranian reaches the age of ten. Otherwise, they may have trouble navigating the block without incident. Lost in their own private clouds, they will march down the street in a haze, only to collide with a telephone pole or a mailbox. Aquarian absent-mindedness often results in twisted ankles, broken bones, and frustrated teachers. You may find yourself torn between pride when the school reports that your child is a budding genius and shame when you receive a note stating, "Oliver simply refuses to pay attention in class. He spends the entire day gazing out of the window, toying with his two-way wristwatch" or "Gertrude lacks concentration. Instead of studying, she sits there, flexing her arches in those ballet slippers." A lecture to Oliver and Gertrude will be met with bored impatience. What's all the fuss about? Oliver was attempting to calculate the effect of the summer solstice on Greenwich Mean Time, and Gertrude was pondering the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. To their minds, it's perfectly logical. Admittedly, they are on the right track. However, this may not be the century to prove it.

Teachers often complain that Aquarian children refuse to explain, step by step, how they arrived at their remarkable solutions to complex math problems before the teacher has finished writing them on the blackboard. There's a logical reason for this. Their Uranian intuition propels their minds through those steps so rapidly that they simply cannot remember. Most Aquarian children were behind the door when memory was handed out. Forgetting their own address is commonplace, and forgetting their last name is uncomfortably possible. Forgetting what time they need to come home? That's par for the course. Your brilliant (and most likely, they are) Uranian youngster must learn that their aspirations should encompass more than being a human computer. They need to understand the importance of organizing their thoughts logically. Otherwise, a potential genius, philosopher, engineer, scientist, doctor, lawyer, gardener, or cab driver (if you're lucky) can become an eccentric adult, pulled in multiple directions, endlessly circling in interesting but unprofitable patterns.

Encourage them to engage in physical activities; otherwise, they may succumb to harmful inertia and daydream away the hours. It often takes an emergency to prompt Aquarian children into physical action, though they may possess a great fondness for sports. Mentally, they are speed demons, but their bodies may be a bit slower, particularly within the confines of home. They may possess an affinity for birds, trees, nature, and the seashore. They will always prefer their own independent discoveries over organized activities. You'll need to watch out for their tendency to say "I can't" as a means to rationalize avoiding responsibility. Aquarian children may choose the path of least resistance if given the chance. Teach them that they are only fooling themselves. Allow them to make their own decisions, but encourage them to act upon those decisions.

Unexpressed tension can deeply unsettle them. Aquarian children possess an uncanny ability to perceive the depths of others' souls and hear thoughts that haven't been audibly spoken, which can disturb them and leave lasting feelings of unhappiness. Encourage tranquility, harmony, concentration, and memory if you wish to prevent an eccentric, nervous, absent-minded bachelor or spinster with unfulfilled dreams from emerging in thirty years or so.

Be mindful of what you say and how you say it to Aquarian youngsters. Suggestions planted in these fertile Uranian minds during childhood can take root firmly, shaping fixed opinions in adulthood. Undue emphasis on cleanliness, repeated warnings such as "Don't drink from my glass; it's dirty," can cause Aquarian children to develop exaggerated fears and result in them carrying their own goblet in their pocket when visiting others. As accident-prone as they are, you can imagine what might happen if they unexpectedly sit down with that goblet still there. And they do everything suddenly.

Aquarian boys and girls have a multitude of friends. They make at least ten new friends each day, ranging from the street cleaner to the truant officer to the ex-parachutist who owns the candy store. They might even bring a friend named Rockefeller home for lunch someday, but don't let it faze you. They aren't raising a social snob; they won't distinguish between Rockefeller and the dog catcher. They're all just "pals."

Romantic entanglements may not trouble your Aquarian child during adolescence. In fact, they may need reminders about the distinction between genders. Few of these children are infatuated with boys or girls; they're simply infatuated with being a little peculiar, especially when they start sporting eccentric clothes and parting their hair in unusual ways. This is when their hidden love for poetry might emerge, and it should be nurtured. Your little Uranian child carries frogs in their pockets and stars in their eyes, but they are truly special. They are humanitarians, and their rare, unprejudiced wisdom leads us into the Aquarian age. Aquarian boys and girls have been chosen by destiny to fulfill the promise of tomorrow, frogs, stars, and pickle sandwiches included. Just give them the nickname of the "Twentieth Century Wonder" and let the neighbors wonder why.

Details of Your Personality, How You Were As A Child

Sun / Capricorn

The CAPRICORN Child

"Oh, how I -wish I could shut up like a telescope! I-think I could, if I only knew how to begin ..."

"Pat her on the head, and see how pleased she'll be!... A little kindness- and putting her hair in papers- would do wonders with her-"

Should you be one of those individuals who perceives newborn infants as miniature old men and women, mothers will not object if you reserve such descriptions exclusively for Capricorn babies. These tiny goats possess a striking resemblance to miniature octogenarians. They exhibit an aged countenance in their youth, only to appear refreshingly youthful in their later years. That wrinkled visage in the bassinet will one day transform into a smooth, unlined face when others are plagued by the wear and tear of time. Perhaps it's connected to being born in January, bridging the gap between the old year's end and the arrival of the New Year. This peculiar juxtaposition mirrors the image of an aged man with his careworn face juxtaposed with the newborn infant of the New Year, bearing a visage as pure as Ivory soap.

If you are blessed with a Capricorn child, you shall swiftly realize the paradoxical nature of their being. Even as an infant, your self-possessed little Capricorn will make you slightly uneasy with their peculiar maturity. You may utter cheerful phrases to them, such as "Does the itty bitty Baby Boo desire a scrumptious sugary cake?" In response, they will offer a serious, contemplative gaze, as though pondering just how absurd you can be. It doesn't require many of those piercing looks to shame the average parent into abandoning baby talk altogether.

Capricorn children possess strong wills and definite preferences, yet they don't create a scene to express them. Your little goat won't throw a temper tantrum or dramatically slam their fist into a mound of mashed potatoes. Nevertheless, they possess a talent for communicating their displeasure with remarkable clarity. A mother may experience a vague sense of intimidation in the presence of a Capricorn baby, although she may struggle to pinpoint the exact reason. Somehow, he or she makes her feel- well, foolish and not quite up to the mark. Let's be candid. The child's demeanor causes the mother to feel like the child, rather than the parent.

This infant is not the type to waver or succumb to wishful thinking. They crawl or waddle purposefully towards their intended destination. One might get the impression that they carefully organized the entire plan in their mind while their diaper was being changed, and now they are resolutely executing it. They are nothing if not decisive. Capricorns never shy away from making their desires known. Their message is crystal clear. Then, they patiently await your response. Suppose you respond with a "no." If it's a matter of little significance, they will likely accept the disappointment without shedding tears. However, if it's something they've deemed truly important, they will obtain it, one way or another. Your "no" holds little sway over them. Rather than engaging in a battle, they will ignore your denial and bide their time until they gradually wear you down, until you ultimately relent.

As they grow older, your Capricorn child will naturally develop a sense of routine in their life. They will ensure their toys occupy a designated space, and will become perturbed should you move them or disrupt their carefully organized system. If they embody the quintessential Saturnian child, they will willingly adhere to schedules for meals and bathroom breaks. Their interest in childish pranks or playful antics may be limited compared to other children. Even at a tender age, these boys and girls exhibit a distinct preference for the comfort of home life. The little goat would rather go on a picnic with their parents, or sit at home while the adults engage in conversation, rather than venture outside to join a group of children their own age. They seldom seek out large groups of friends. Instead, they may have a select few close companions, or perhaps only one special confidant with whom they share their innermost secrets.

School is rarely a struggle for young Capricorn students. Unless their ascendant clashes with their Sun sign, or the Moon was in a restless position at their birth, these children generally excel academically. They will arrive home, hang up their coat, and immediately sit down to tackle their homework. If they are true Capricorns, they cannot fully enjoy their playtime until they have attended to their duties.

When leisure time arrives, Saturn's play often manifests as an imitation of adults. Little Capricorn girls adore dressing up in their mother's clothing. On occasion, they may propose, "You be the baby, and I'll be the Mommy." This scenario might make you feel slightly uncomfortable, as the tot convincingly assumes the reverse role. Standing in the playpen, gurgling while peering over large spectacles, clad in your high heels and pearls, she firmly states, "Do be still, or you'll be sent to bed without supper." You get the peculiar sensation that you'd better halt the game swiftly, lest she truly tucks you into bed. Capricorn boys, on the other hand, enjoy pretending to be teachers, doctors, executives of vast corporations, or even their own fathers. When your young son dons your husband's overcoat and grasps his pipe, you may inexplicably feel tempted to request that he drive to the supermarket and procure a carton of eggs. Of course, you quickly remember that he cannot operate anything more complicated than a scooter, and he frequently ends up with scraped knees from that. Capricorn children also take pleasure in painting, drawing, and listening to music, but they seldom waste their leisure hours on aimless games. They are often engrossed in creating something practical, even if it's an exceptionally thin pot holder or a comically wobbly pencil case. Encourage them to engage in outdoor activities. Though they may not exhibit great enthusiasm for seeking sunshine and breathing in the fresh air, it is beneficial for their well-being, as it clears away the gloomy cobwebs of Saturn that sometimes cloud their young minds.

Teachers generally find Capricorn children pleasant to instruct, though they may occasionally become impatient with their slow, stubborn learning style. Nonetheless, the teacher will rarely complain of frivolous daydreaming or neglect of studies. These young scholars tend to perform exceptionally well academically once they have grasped the fundamentals. They may not learn quickly or display flashy brilliance, yet they are meticulous and diligent. The concentration associated with Saturn is not to be underestimated. It leads to accolades and top grades.

When your young goat arrives home with a report card boasting high marks for obedience, studiousness, and reliability, but with comments such as "reluctant to participate in class discussions," "refuses to recite," "timid, lacks confidence, and struggles to mingle with other students," you may begin to worry that you have raised an introverted bookworm, an individual hopelessly averse to social interaction. Then, one day, your little Capricorn casually mentions that they must arrive at school early to call the roll. You inquire, "Why must you call the roll?" Their response will astonish you. "Oh, because I'm the class president." When you exclaim, "Why didn't you tell us?" they will casually respond with modesty, "Well, it's not that important." Yet, a blush will creep upon their cheeks, revealing their delight. This pattern often repeats throughout their lives. Although they may appear slower than others, seemingly introverted and shrouded in shadows, they will quietly and inevitably assume positions of leadership, as the extroverts recognize them as trustworthy and responsible individuals. Capricorn may be assigned the task of guarding treasures and maintaining records, while the gregarious ones indulge in play and dreams. Yet, they will never feel burdened by this responsibility. What they seek is respect and authority.

Occasionally, a Capricorn child may assert dominance over weaker friends or siblings with their stubborn will, which can border on childhood cruelty. However, more often than not, the Capricorn child submits to the influence of stronger Sun signs. This can lead to issues where siblings or peers boss the little goat around, and you may feel that they are being unfairly treated. Do not fret. Capricorns possess the ability to take care of themselves. I know of a particular Capricorn girl who wholeheartedly defers to her older, more assertive Sagittarian sister. With the patience typical of earth signs, she obediently follows the orders of her fiery sibling. She never talks back or argues. However, after enduring an especially severe bout of bossiness, the older sister inexplicably finds her shoes, hairbrush, or favorite sweater "missing." Eventually, these items are recovered, and nobody in the family has the faintest idea how they became "lost." For several weeks thereafter, the bossy sister becomes significantly more considerate. Never underestimate the power of Capricorn's self-preservation instincts. Somehow, the scales always find a way to balance.

In the presence of individuals of the opposite sex, little goats tend to exhibit shyness but intense curiosity. You may hear them make remarks such as "Boys are drippy goons" or "Girls are stupid creeps." Yet, they become mysteriously excited when Valentine's Day approaches at school and they send a multitude of cards, all signed with a teasing "guess who." The adolescent years can be emotionally tumultuous for them. They will require encouragement and sensitive guidance when they start dating.

Being the parents of a January-born boy or girl is a true blessing. With few exceptions, it feels like receiving a gift from the divine. Unless pushed too far, at which point they may utter something cruel and cutting, Capricorn children are generally as sweet as the "sugy cake" they claim to abhor.

If you find yourself short on rent money, you can always borrow a few twenties from their well-stocked piggy bank. They will exhibit politeness towards their elders and obedient behavior without needing frequent reminders, except for occasional stubborn streaks. They will organize their tasks diligently and possess a genuine concern for their future, although you may need to remind them to scrub behind their ears. They will remain devoted to their home and family, seldom leaving you wondering where they are. Most of the time, they will be right beside you, cherishing every moment spent together. They harbor their own bright, grounded, and pragmatic dreams. Fear not if they overlook Sleeping Beauty and Goldilocks. When you reach old age, feeling lost and forgotten by a thoughtless younger generation, your Capricorn son or daughter will genuinely respect your wisdom. They will enthusiastically extend an invitation for you to visit or even make your home with them. It's almost as if the Capricorn child is saying, this time for real, "Now, I'll be the Mommy (or Daddy), and you be the baby. You cared for me with love, and now I'll take care of you." There will be no pretense in their actions, and Hans Christian Andersen himself could not have written a happier ending.

Overall Personality, As A Child

Sun / Aquarius

The Aquarius Child
Aquarian children defy convention and tend to resist authority without apparent reason. Although intelligent or even brilliant, they reject prescribed expectations. Curiosity leads the way for these quirky youngsters, and they need parents who encourage their individuality.

Overall Personality, As A Child

Sun / Capricorn

The Capricorn Child
Capricorn children may appear to be serious, world-weary miniature adults. Despite their intelligence, they might struggle with developmental milestones, with fear of failure holding them back. To succeed, these children require gentle, supportive parenting to help build their confidence. As their self-assurance grows, they exhibit strong leadership abilities.
