Over there you have the fifth house Saturn child wondering how to join in his classmate's games. Turn around and you see the third house Pluto beating his sister over the head with building blocks. All great fun for astrologers. But what parents usually want when they ask for the chart of a very young child is answers to simple questions. We may want to delve into the deeper recesses of the parent-child relationship.
Mother wants to know how to get the little monster to sleep at nights.
Talking about development of artistic and musical ability later in life can be fascinating but often unhelpful at an early stage. I'd like to define what I mean when talking of a young child in astrological terms. Saturn squares its natal position at around the age of seven, usually just after the first Jupiter opposition. During the same period the progressed Moon will make a square to its natal position and Uranus a semi-sextile to its natal position. This is clearly a time of great psychological change.
