The SAGITTARIUS Child
As the sun sets on the horizon, casting a golden glow over the world,
the Sagittarius child emerges with a beaming smile and a heart full of wonder.
Observe the bright-eyed terrier near our dwelling, with its long, curly brown hair,
fetching objects and sitting up to beg for its meal?a mere fraction of the countless talents that elude my memory.
In the vicinity of my residence resides a spirited Irish girl, born in the month of December,
a skilled guitarist and occasional songwriter.
One particular line she penned caught my attention, a fragment brimming with brilliance,
though the remainder of the lyrics eluded her grasp.
Yet she need not fret, armed with such an enticing introduction:
"There you were, waving your heart at me..."
This enchanting phrase encapsulates the essence of every Sagittarian, from mere weeks of age to a century of existence.
Chronological labels hold little significance, for they forever embody the spirit of eternal youth.
Take a moment to behold your precious Sagittarius daughter, as she joyfully waves her heart in your direction,
resembling a friendly and affectionate sheepdog.
Likewise, your Sagittarius son exudes the same unbridled enthusiasm, craving acceptance for his authentic self.
When others fail to reciprocate their warm greetings, their tiny hearts sink with disappointment.
Sagittarians are happy, playful jesters, whose laughter sparkles with tears when rejection comes their way.
Even in infancy, their sunny dispositions and longing for companionship shine through.
The Jupiter-born infant will weep when left alone,
but place their cradle in the living room, amidst the laughter and chatter of adults,
and they shall slumber contentedly, serenaded by the comforting melodies of human voices.
Their dreams shall be sweeter, wrapped in the cozy embrace of love and joy.
In later years, they may distance themselves from familial ties,
yet in their formative stages, they yearn for the security of human scents, sights, and sounds?
much like a newborn puppy snuggling against an old sweater in its basket.
Deny the Jupiter youngster such close, human contact,
and they shall withdraw, perhaps adopting sarcasm as their substitute.
Thus, they clutch tightly to a worn, tattered blanket, reminiscent of Linus from "Peanuts,"
whether it be a plush pinch pillow or a cuddly teddy bear with missing ears and a faded nose.
In their hearts, it symbolizes security, though they would much prefer your presence.
The Sagittarius boy exemplifies his carefree nature by venturing into the woods,
armed with a makeshift fishing rod and a can of worms,
whistling cheerfully, engaging in conversations with everyone he encounters,
his loyal dog faithfully trotting by his side.
As children, Sagittarians embody informality, a trait that will persist throughout their lives.
The young Jupiter girl may undergo a tomboy phase,
prompting constant reminders to "behave like a lady" as she matures.
Yet these girls and boys possess their own notions of what defines "gentility" and "femininity."
It commences with the essence of honesty, unadorned and unfiltered.
They have elevated honesty to an art form, expecting the same level of sincerity from you?
or be prepared to face their unwavering defiance.
Your authority becomes fair game for the Sagittarian child's inquisitive and rational investigations.
They will acquiesce gracefully if convinced of the logic behind your commands.
Parental edicts must withstand the scrutiny of their inquisitive and logical minds,
for if you fail to achieve a passing grade in their evaluation, you shall be left behind.
You stand there, brandishing your authority or switch, while they defiantly wave their honesty back at you.
Should you be fair and endeavor to match their honesty, the Jupiter child shall learn to respect your rules.
Firmness is required when you know you are right, accompanied by a sound and rational explanation.
In moments of error, you must admit your mistake and confess your stupidity directly and without hesitation.
Let us face it?often, parents impose rules for their own convenience, rather than for the child's well-being.
A Sagittarius tyke can detect such dishonesty from a mile away,
their nostrils quivering like those of a bird dog, while their muscles tense with anger,
bolstered by righteous indignation.
Therefore, prepare to calmly elucidate all directives and commands,
lest you expend a significant amount of energy wielding switches,
before the indomitable Jupiter obstinacy against unjustified punishment shows signs of subsiding.
A phrase frequently uttered by mothers with December-born children is "curiosity killed the cat."
Curiosity knows no bounds in the Sagittarian realm; it persists from sunrise to sunset,
weaving a tapestry of questions that decorate their waking hours.
In their earliest stages of speech and exploration, these queries manifest as follows:
"Why is it considered naughty to touch the stove?"
"Why do candies cause my teeth to loosen?"
"Why do carrots bestow curly hair upon me?"
"Why does Santa Claus require a letter, given his mystical abilities?"
"Why did Daddy wink at you when discussing a second honeymoon,
and why do you refer to the Moon as honey?"
"Why do you speak of multiple moons when Billy insists there is only one?"
(Billy being the overly astute older Aquarian brother?if such a combination graces your abode, you are in a precarious situation!)
Throughout lunch, naptime, and supper, the questions persist unabated.
"Why did you and Daddy describe Grandpa as henpecked? Is he truly a chicken?"
"Why did my teddy bear inform you that I devoured the cookies?
Why does he never speak to me as he does to you?"
Clearly, the majority of the Jupiter child's inquiries aim to puncture adult hypocrisy,
exposing smugness and blatant deceit.
Alas, becoming agitated and exclaiming, "Silence! If you utter 'why' once more, I shall paddle you.
Never dare to utter that word again," shall only elicit a response that strikes right at your core?
"Why not?"
As they mature, their questions will evolve, eventually encompassing the following:
"Why must I adhere to a specific curfew, when you claim to trust me?" (and indeed, you should trust this child).
"Why does the opinion of others hold such significance?
Do you value the opinions of strangers more than you value me?"
This is a challenging query, one for which you must prepare a response while they are still in diapers.
Sagittarian teenagers will not readily accept your rules if they are founded solely on societal norms,
rather than genuine concern for their well-being.
Of course, valid and logical explanations exist for insisting on their adherence to certain social conventions?
explanations revolving around reputation and its invaluable nature.
However, ensure that you have rehearsed and internalized these explanations to ensure their authenticity.
The ancient adage, "when children are young, they step on your feet?when they grow older, they step on your heart,"
could have been crafted exclusively for Sagittarians.
There is no escaping this reality. These children possess an inherent clumsiness, if not outright awkwardness.
Ensure that your medicine cabinet is well-stocked with iodine and band-aids.
Tiny Sagittarians trample on your feet, obstruct your progress with the dust mop and vacuum,
and impede your best-laid plans.
You may perpetually nurse a sore toe and a bruised ego.
Yet these are trifles compared to the potential heartache that awaits,
when the Jupiter boy or girl firmly plants a foot upon your heart.
Their yearning for freedom encompasses liberation from familial bonds,
and these children embark on their independent journeys remarkably early,
sometimes neglecting to phone or write for extended periods.
These absences can inflict painful stabs to the chest.
The most effective remedy for such parental heartburn lies in cultivating a sense of respect in your Sagittarian child,
instilling in them an unwavering faith in your sense of honor and tolerance.
Should you be narrow-minded and prejudiced, you may only encounter them on holidays, if even then.
However, should you refrain from judging their friends using any measure other than their true worth,
and should you demonstrate unwavering belief in their inherent goodness and aspirations,
they shall return to your embrace, rekindling their love and inevitably stumbling upon your feet.
Otherwise, they shall remain elsewhere, accompanied by a blanket, pillow, or teddy bear in the form of new friends,
who accept them for who they are and genuinely believe in their potential.
Anticipate the early emergence of romantic inclinations.
The girls, however, are unlikely to approach romance seriously?merely exploring their femininity,
provided you do not employ dates as a security blanket.
The boys may require some additional guidance on the subject of courtship and intimacy,
for an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Teach these children the value of economy, for they spend money as if it were mere paper,
a fact they have already discovered.
They must comprehend that once their allowance is spent, it is gone.
Do not shield them from the consequences.
Should they squander their lunch money on comic books or Mad Magazine,
let them carry peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to school for the remainder of the week.
Though this may appear harsh, it is a necessary lesson.
One day, the Diners' Club shall express their gratitude.
Both genders shall likely relish their educational experiences.
Their multidimensional intelligence and insatiable curiosity transform learning into a captivating game,
provided their bright enthusiasm is not stifled by monotonous routines and rigid study habits.
The more progressive education becomes, the happier and more successful these children shall be.
Restless by nature, they must not be constantly constrained,
nor should their imaginative musings be quelled,
lest their zest for knowledge be extinguished, sometimes irreversibly.
Sagittarian children subjected to severe, intolerant educators,
or who fall victim to unimaginative teaching methods,
may yearn to abandon school and seek employment.
The honor system thrives among young archers.
A Jupiter child shall never stoop to cheating, so long as they are trusted not to do so.
Otherwise, they may conclude that honesty holds little value.
If no one believes in them, why should they make an effort?
Religion may engender a deep and profound fascination.
These are the boys and girls who, at a tender age, decide to become priests, nuns,
ministers, rabbis, or missionaries in distant lands.
As they mature, they will question dogma, perhaps changing their faith and religious affiliation,
as they embark on an eternal quest for truth.
The Peace Corps invariably attracts the attention of Jupiter-born individuals.
The concept of seeing the world and applying their idealism to effect change entices them.
Sagittarians require a cause, much like a dog requires a bone to gnaw on.
In the absence of a bone, a puppy may rend the couch or chair to shreds.
Similarly, a Sagittarian child may vigorously dissect ideas, their passion veering toward fanaticism,
potentially causing irreparable damage to their future.
Their eyes remain fixed upon the trusting stars,
and as they traverse the winding path, they may stumble and fall, oblivious to the rocks in their way.
They are independent, honest little archers.
Provide them ample space to shoot their arrows and hone their archery skills.
They need to feel the grass beneath their bare feet, experience the rain upon their faces,
and allow their dreams to bask in the warm embrace of the sun's golden rays, until they are fully cooked.
There they stand, waving their hearts filled with optimism and joy.
Wave back at them, infused with cheerful faith, as together you embark on this enchanting journey.
The SCORPIO Child
"What else had you to learn?"
"Well, there was Mystery ...
Mystery, ancient and modem,
with Seaography . . .
Drawling, Stretching
and Fainting in Coils."
Upon beholding their newborn Scorpio child, parents experience a profound sense of astonishment,
marveling at their baby's seemingly advanced maturity and the remarkable strength of their physical form.
Scorpio children possess an innate desire to engage in battles, driven by an unwavering determination to emerge victorious.
Compromise holds little appeal to them, as they eagerly await the opportune moment to resume the conflict on their own terms.
If the stork is due to arrive in November or the vicinity,
procuring a large and sturdy playpen becomes an imperative task.
This fortress of security allows you to retreat, read a book, or enjoy a meal, shielded from the intensity radiating from your Scorpio child.
As you lie down on the blue plastic bunny pad to assess its suitability, the perplexed gaze of the saleswoman should not deter you.
If you cannot withstand the scrutiny of a stranger, how will you confront the penetrating gaze of your own child without faltering?
For once those intense eyes fixate upon you, your will shall be mesmerized, and you shall unwittingly succumb to their every whim.
Envision a scene where you sway helplessly, like a snake under the spell of a charmer, as the diaper-clad Scorpio toddler sits cross-legged, playing a hypnotic tune on his flute.
To combat this potential enthrallment, fortify yourself against his beguiling influence.
Return the saleswoman's curious gaze with an icy stare of your own, for it is your hard-earned money that shall be spent.
Prepare to encounter actions that may appear peculiar, for it is not the saleswoman's role to dictate your choices.
As the customer, you possess the authority.
This same assertiveness shall be required to navigate the labyrinth of raising your Scorpio child.
It is your domain, and if your rules appear unconventional, it is not the baby's prerogative to dictate to you.
As you proclaim your authority, lock eyes with him, unyielding yet benevolent in your demeanor.
The journey ahead demands constant and unwavering discipline for the Scorpio child.
Impart upon them the values of empathy for the vulnerable, good sportsmanship in the face of defeat,
respect for authority, and the ability to forgive those who cause them harm.
In shaping their character, you shall come to appreciate their brilliance and magnetic personality,
alongside their rare courage and unswerving honesty, qualities that warrant nourishment and safeguarding from any corrupting force that threatens to distort or annihilate them.
The Scorpio child stands at the crossroads, presented with two paths—one leading to elevated heights, the other descending into the depths.
In the initial stages, you may fear that they have chosen the dark alley even before they have learned to walk.
Fluttery and apprehensive mothers are already defeated from the start.
Your little Scorpio toddler will stare at you fiercely, defying your command to refrain from touching something forbidden.
Return the glare, projecting a gaze that is both kind and firm.
While it may seem arduous to achieve a kindly glare, persevere in your practice.
Through clenched teeth, smile and utter a resounding "no" with unwavering conviction.
This victory may be temporary, as the struggle shall inevitably resume an hour later,
but each instance marks a step along the upward path.
In due time, the Scorpio child shall begin to admire your strength in withstanding their challenge,
learning only from someone they perceive as stronger than themselves.
Although they are aware that their present size grants them temporary triumph,
a day will come when they surpass you in stature.
Yet until then, they shall grudgingly bestow upon you their respect, as long as you loom larger.
By the time they are tall enough to wrestle their older brother to the ground or emerge victorious in a deadlock with their father,
your task shall be complete.
Exhausted, yet filled with pride, you shall witness their transformation into a splendid eagle,
rather than a vengeful scorpion.
However, exercise caution, for a generous outpouring of love and affection must accompany firm discipline,
lest they devolve into a desolate gray lizard, plagued by fears and phobias, bitter and withdrawn.
Despite their blunt and occasionally sarcastic speech, along with a straightforward demeanor,
the Scorpio child harbors a profound need for privacy.
They guard their secrets closely, and prying shall not be tolerated.
Provide them with a large metal box, complete with a key, wherein they may safeguard their personal treasures,
or designate a drawer exclusively their own, sealed by an unbreakable familial agreement.
As female Scorpios mature, they shall desire a diary equipped with an impenetrable lock.
These children possess an uncanny ability to uncover hidden truths,
rendering them formidable in unraveling embarrassing family secrets,
from Aunt Bertha's dentures and Uncle Percy's drinking escapades to Dad's concealing "rug" that disguises his bald spot.
Moreover, they display remarkable talent in locating misplaced socks, keys, wallets, and lipsticks—miniature detectives employing both logic and a touch of sorcery to solve any enigma.
Endowed with an extraordinary capacity to endure pain,
even stitches required to mend accidental wounds shall be borne without tears or the need for anesthetic.
The Scorpio child possesses a wisdom surpassing their tender years.
During moments of despair caused by financial troubles, disheartened fathers may find solace in the unexpected embrace of a little one too young to comprehend matters of economics.
Unaware of the intricacies, the child senses their father's discontent and longs to express their desire to vanquish the source of his unhappiness.
When mothers fall ill or succumb to despondency, a minuscule Scorpio may reach out silently, offering a gentle touch, somehow detecting their sadness.
Loyalty pervades the Scorpio child's being, extending unwaveringly to friends and loved ones,
while remaining unyielding towards others.
If a testy playmate deliberately shatters their rocking horse, the Scorpio child may retaliate by obliterating the offender's scooter, fire truck, and blackboard,
coupled with a swift punch to the nose, ensuring the transgressor grasps the consequences of treading upon a Scorpio's tail.
Discouraging such behavior becomes imperative, though achieving success may prove a daunting task.
Inform your November child that vengeful anger rebounds, inflicting harm upon themselves as well, but comprehending this logic will be challenging.
Perhaps a boomerang procured from a toy store, thrown with full force, might convey the message.
When it surprises them by returning to deliver a few jolting blows to the ear, the lesson may take hold.
However, it is unlikely to be as beloved as a microscope, a compendium of magical games, or a chemistry set—gifts guaranteed to captivate their interests.
Their teachers shall find themselves torn between directing the Scorpio child to the head of the class or wielding the birch switch.
Ultimately, they may resort to both approaches.
Scorpio boys and girls possess sharp and perceptive minds, accompanied by a striking ability to grasp complex theories.
They may grace the honor roll with unwavering dedication or assert their status as neighborhood truants.
Under the guidance of wise instructors, they shall swiftly master the art of reading and emerge as leaders within school activities.
The Scorpio child harbors the potential to become the class valedictorian,
provided their passion steers clear of forbidden territories.
Keep them physically active and intellectually stimulated, channeling their fervent curiosity into science, literature, medicine, or sports.
Nurture their childhood dreams of becoming a space engineer, sailor, firefighter, minister, entertainer, or even president.
Resist the temptation to impose your preferred career choice upon them, as doing so will invariably divert them down the treacherous path of reckless experimentation within the shadows of life.
They possess unwavering clarity in their desires, and imposing your will is a grave error.
Remain loyal to them, honoring your word and promises.
Offer them opportunities to expend their abundant reserves of pent-up energy,
for despite outward appearances of calm and composure, the Scorpio child simmers with intensity.
Nervous displays, mealtime arguments, and bedtime family quarrels shall birth nightmares,
profoundly detrimental to their mental and physical well-being.
Within their fervent nature, there reside intense passions and volatile emotions,
which require careful guidance to be subdued.
Rough and thoughtless reprimands, lacking logical explanations, are as detrimental as permissive indulgence.
Scorpios are fascinated by drugs; thus, ensure they remain beyond reach.
Their attraction to fire must also be managed, necessitating the removal of matches from their vicinity.
Halloween, monster shows on television, science fiction, and ghost stories shall capture their imagination.
Additionally, they shall develop an affinity for the opposite sex.
Do not be alarmed if you discover your five-year-old Scorpio son casting mysterious glances at the curly-haired girl next door.
Romance shall forever be their pursuit.
Prevent potential future heartaches by instilling in both genders a sense of responsibility in matters of the heart.
Scorpio holds profound respect for the sanctity of the family circle,
and by elucidating the consequences of careless amorous conduct, they shall heed your guidance.
Whatever path they choose, they shall excel within their chosen field.
The Scorpio child possesses an unwavering determination to achieve their desires,
coupled with the strength necessary to preserve them.
Do not withhold your support, even as their self-sufficiency may imply a disregard for approval.
They require it, though they appear to scorn it.
Assist them in discovering a worthy purpose to channel the inner passions that threaten to engulf them.
This is a child shrouded in enigma, destined for greatness,
yet with countless miles to traverse before reaching their destination.
Walk alongside them for as long as they require, and then grant them the autonomy to walk alone.
In due course, they shall return, bearing the fruits of their endeavors.
Pluto grants them immense courage, strength, and intelligence,
but it is your role to provide them with the one thing they crave most:
a daily demonstration of love and the reciprocation thereof.
The Sagittarian Child
From a young age, Sagittarian children are adventurous and understand the value of things. They often excel academically and athletically, exhibiting strong school spirit. Sagittarian teenagers must be granted ample freedom, but they will typically use it wisely.
The Scorpio Child
Scorpio children can test parental limits with their pursuit of power and dominance. As they mature, their ability to balance their nature improves, often with positive intentions. Scorpio children are determined to make sense of the world and will not rest until they do so. Parents must remain one step ahead of these cunning youngsters.
Sagittarius
As A Child
The Adventurous Sagittarius Child
From a very young age, a Sagittarius child exudes a friendly and enthusiastic nature. You'll often find them waving at people with the hope of being loved and accepted just as they are. Their little heart may break with disappointment if someone fails to wave back. Like a playful clown, they possess a jovial, pleasant, and mischievous demeanor. The Sagittarius baby dislikes being alone, even when it's time to sleep. They feel most at ease amidst people engaged in conversation, laughter, and play. Cheerful company is what they thrive on.
Without such an environment while growing up, they may develop a cynical outlook on life. As Sagittarian children grow older, they often distance themselves from family ties. They struggle to comprehend formality but never lack honesty. Speaking blunt truths is one of their innate personality traits. However, it's important to remind them to soften the delivery of their honesty. Their inquisitive minds require sound and logical reasoning behind every instruction you give. Failure to provide that may result in defiance.
Never speak a lie in front of your Sagittarius baby, as it will diminish the respect they have for you. Stand your ground and offer a reason when you're right, and when you're wrong, admit it rather than resorting to dishonesty. They have a natural curiosity that permeates their characteristics profile. The word 'Why?' will often be part of their sentences. Shouting won't yield results; it's better to provide truthful, albeit occasionally simplified, answers. A Sagittarius child won't do something simply because it's socially expected. They require convincing through logical reasoning.
During their childhood, be prepared with medicines, antiseptics, and band-aids as Sagittarius children are prone to accidents. Their sense of freedom may lead them to leave home earlier than their peers. So, it's wise to anticipate such a scenario. If you scold them for their independent ways, they may refrain from returning home even on weekends. However, by understanding their perspective and demonstrating patience, they will come back frequently, sometimes with friends in tow, and spend quality time with you.
Romantic inclinations tend to emerge early in Sagittarius children, and you may need to introduce them to the world of the opposite sex earlier than you would with other children. They may not excel in financial matters, requiring you to impart the importance of money through hands-on experience. Avoid replenishing their pockets when they exhaust their weekly allowance in a single day. Gradually, they will learn. Restlessness is a common trait among Sagittarians, so keeping them engaged in various activities is crucial. Mundane tasks make them feel sad and disinterested.
Sagittarius children exhibit an interest in religion and may become deeply involved in its exploration. They also possess a desire to explore the world and put their idealism into action. Having a cause to champion is vital for a Sagittarius child, as without one, they may feel lost. They believe in the power of the stars and their ability to work miracles. They won't become overly dependent on you, nor will they detach completely. Let them chase their dreams, run on dewy grass, and exchange winks with the neighbor's girl. Just wave back enthusiastically when they look at you from afar, and they will surely return to you time and time again!
Scorpio
As A Child
The Powerful Scorpio Child
A Scorpio child typically possesses a strong physical constitution, perfectly aligned with their unwavering willpower. They never engage in play or competition solely for the sake of it; the pursuit of victory is their primary motivation, and they refuse to compromise on this front. If they encounter an obstacle, they will strategize and find alternative ways to ensure their triumph. Additionally, a Scorpio baby possesses a hypnotic gaze that tends to make people uncomfortable. Prepare yourself to meet their gaze head-on and outstare them every time.
Establishing your authority is essential when dealing with a Scorpio child. Firmly but gently communicate that you are the boss of the household, accompanied by an unwavering stare. Consistent discipline is necessary to guide them. Teach them consideration for the weak, instill sportsmanship, foster respect for authority, and encourage forgiveness towards those who have hurt them. According to their characteristics profile, Scorpio children are sharp, brave, honest, and naturally attract others with their magnetic personality. However, it's crucial to teach them humility before it becomes a hindrance.
When a Scorpio baby misbehaves, avoid shouting at them. Instead, learn to say 'No' kindly yet resolutely. Demonstrate that you possess greater strength, as this is how they will learn from you. While disciplining them, never forget to shower them with love and affection. Like any other child, they also require constant cuddling and pampering. Failure to provide this may result in them becoming excessively nervous, fearful, and restless, which contradicts their true nature. Their honesty may lead them to be a little blunt and direct, so teaching them to temper their sharp tongue is necessary.
A Scorpio child guards their secrets closely and dislikes prying eyes. While they may be reluctant to share their own feelings, it becomes nearly impossible for others to keep their own secrets from them. They possess an uncanny ability to sense when something is amiss. Even if you haven't disclosed the problem, they will offer bear hugs and tender touches as a way to console you. Loyalty and dedication are fundamental personality traits in a Scorpio baby, extending to both family and close friends.
They have a fiery side, and anyone who dares to cross their path will remember not to do so again in their lifetime. It's important to teach them that revenge and holding grudges are detrimental. Scorpio children often find themselves in leadership positions, be it in academics, sports, or extracurricular activities. They are always brimming with energy, and you must keep them mentally engaged and physically active. Scorpio children often experience vivid and unusual dreams, which should be encouraged. You never know when they might become the next 'Robert Kennedy'.
A Scorpio child possesses a strong sense of self-awareness and determination. It's best not to impose your will upon them. While they may appear placid on the outside, their internal world is brimming with passion and emotion. A congenial home environment is essential for their usually calm demeanor. Avoid scolding them without reason and refrain from prohibiting their actions without providing a logical explanation. They have a fascination with dangerous elements such as fire and drugs, so it's crucial to keep such things out of their reach.
The Scorpio baby is equally intrigued by the mystical and the opposite gender. They may even wink at the neighborhood girl as soon as they begin to walk. Romance flows in their veins, and you can never prevent them from falling in love. However, caution them in this realm to shield them from heartbreaks that can deeply affect them. They give their best effort in everything they do and possess unwavering determination to achieve their desires. Simultaneously, they need your love and support. Be there for them when they need you, teaching them how to love and be loved. They will always return to you to ensure that you're still there for them!
