Halloran Software Sample Kid Zone Report using the Kid Zone template

It is not intended to predict a budding mega-star or a future world leader - the objective is to provide some insights into the psyche of Britney to give everyone concerned a better chance of understanding, and hopefully helping this special child through the difficult growing times that they will face.

The astrological Chart is a little like a jigsaw puzzle without the benefit of a picture to follow. Some pieces are easy to recognize and they fit together beautifully. Another batch might fit well - but seem unrelated to the first "batch". Several straggly bits probably seem to belong to another world altogether, but that is the human psyche. The depths are immeasurable with many, many forms, faces, and dimensions.

Any Astrological chart will have seemingly several contradictions - again - just like human nature and our psychological make-up. But these apparent differences are all shades, shapes, and forms of the full picture. These "contradictions" should be seen as a balancing factor, knocking some of the edges off our sharp corners or, sharpening up the "softness" in the areas defined.

It should also be recognized that all of us have our own very personal lessons to learn in this life and these lessons unfold throughout the span of our entire life on earth. The learning experiences will not be systematic - they will be random episodes and experiences. Some interpretations of this Chart will give a glimpse of these very personal lessons that are an obvious part of this little one's character. Others may be so private or subtle that the child "learns" all by itself. And then there will be further lessons that will not have emerged or even seem significant yet.

The following passages give a comprehensive summary of the character traits of this child and a brief description of each section explains the specifics. It has been kept simple deliberately because, as mentioned in the introduction. Astrology is a complex subject, and the intention is to clarify, not confuse.

The Ascendant is the exact degree in the zodiac, which was rising on the horizon at the time of birth. The term Ascendant and Rising sign are the same. Every 4 minutes the degree of the Ascendant changes. This is why it is so important to know the exact time of birth. This is the starting point of the astrological wheel and defines the signs on each house cusp in an anti-clockwise direction.

The actual houses and their meanings are just as important as the signs on the cusp. The sign of the Ascendant is as important as the Sun sign, and its effects are often more obvious to other people. The Ascendant represents how the personality appears to others. Each sign has its own potential strengths, which should be developed, and weaknesses, which should be minimized through understanding.

Britney may run into problems if the rising sign is quite different in nature from the Sun sign. There will be conflict between an element of the inner self and the projected image. So, if any recurring social problems do occur, it is necessary to look within.

The Ascendant or Rising sign of this chart for Britney is in the sign of Libra - the peacemaker, the arbitrator - the diplomatic. These kids are very sociable, gracious, and compatible. Libra the scales leans towards balance and judgement. These types will always see both sides of the story. Their conclusions will always be fair, although these kids do tend to say what "others wants to hear", rather than what they do actually think. These little diplomats hate to offend. They hate to cause ripples. Many political leaders have Libra rising, so do not be fooled - these kids strive to win - but nicely! Friendships and relationships and other people are of great importance, in fact, Britney may not like to be alone for any length of time.

Because of a real concern about getting along with people and being accepted, Britney will take the trouble to learn how. So, these kids will never be short of friends. In many ways they often get their own way, but instead of using force to persuade people, they use charm. Even in a sticky situation, Britney can get out of it by finding the right words, instinctively knowing how to calm ruffled feathers. This child will seldom truly offend anyone, which is just as well. These kids will not enjoy any sort of unpleasantness. It upsets them badly. This agreeable child, though, must learn to be sure not to compromise too much. Britney may need to learn to be more forthright, to not be afraid to speak out and oppose on important issues. Many people with Libra rising actually become quite competitive, once they have gotten over the stage of being so accommodating. So, Britney can learn to be a bit "tougher".

Even in the area of visual effect, there is repugnance with ugliness. These people will try improving by camouflage or adding their own bit of beauty. In this same spirit, Britney will like beautiful clothes or even flashy gear, although some element in the taste usually prevents these kids from dressing too gaudily. Obviously, the choice is to be surrounded by beautiful things. The expensive taste for art, music, and literature can emerge at quite a young age.

The home environment probably seems to run like clockwork to this child with the Libra Ascendant. Certainly, the parents, or at least one parent, will work very hard for what they get. Their practical approach will ensure that the family wants for none of the essentials. The Mother figure is probably very well organized. It is likely that she will have a career or at least lead a very busy life. This little one should want for nothing major, but would probably love a few more frills and luxuries than what they get. In fact, Britney may feel hard done by because the parents are not extravagant. But these children should feel loved and cared for. They will break their necks to grow up though, to be able to buy all those luxurious things that they will love so much.

Venus, the Planet of love and possessions and artistic ability is the Ruling Planet of this Chart for Britney, which will be an essential part of the personality. Pay special attention to the House in which Venus falls, as this is where the charm of Venus will flourish.

The Sun in the Chart is our personal light. It is our vitality, our creativity, and our basic ego. It is the Sun that provokes and promotes emotional security. The Sun represents our individuality. Within the Sun sign is our reason for being, our sense of pride, and our confidence. This is the basis of the search for the real person within. The sign occupied by the Sun at birth describes the nature of these basic drives and patterns. It describes the desire to be important to the people that matter and the ability to be independent and self-reliant. It will give us an indication of the methods used to develop psychologically.

Much more is revealed by the aspects to the Sun. Positive aspects (trines, conjunctions or sextiles) are good indicators of self-reliance, confidence and the ability to stand on one's own two feet. The difficult aspects (squares, oppositions, and inconjunctions) will suggest psychological problems which can have a profound effect on life. However, learning to deal with these difficulties ultimately produces strength and understanding of the self. The rewards of working through these problems are great. The efforts will be productive. Sure, work is needed, but it is worth the effort. However, whenever the planet, Saturn, brushes up against the Sun, it will suppress and depress the energy of the most exuberant Sun sign.

The child will start to grow into the Sun sign during adolescence which can be another reason why these years can be so dramatic and traumatic - this is just another set of growing pains that we all have to endure. The actual Sun sign is often not fully developed until nearer 30 years of age, but the inner spirit will emerge and glimpses will be seen throughout the growing years.

Britney has the Sun in Sagittarius. The Sagittarius Sun child is enthusiastic, optimistic, and mischievous with a huge, bursting personality. These kids are very spontaneous in everything they do and say. They can be very blunt and to the point. They have a good sense of balance which is just as well, because at least one foot often ends up in the mouth. But offence is never intended. These kids are just in too much of a hurry, and the natural exuberance will get them through any sticky moments quite easily. With such a ready grin, it is hard to stay mad for long at this kid. Britney will be exceptionally truthful so will tell you as it is, without frills.

Britney will enjoy the outdoors, the wide-open countryside, the mountains, and the sea. These kids love animals and all sorts of people. The curiosity that fires this child is quite universal. This is the true free spirit. These kids prefer to be as free as the breeze both physically and mentally. Nothing dampens them more than being confined or restricted. If they have to be stuck indoors, they will want to get a gang of friends in and play "dressing up", or "go camping" in the garage or in the hall. As long as these kids are stretching their minds and imaginations, they are content. The little girl Sagittarius can be a bit of a tomboy.

Britney will take a few risks. These kids can be quite careless. They do not let fear get in the way of their adventures. This can also be a very competitive sports person. There is a whole lot of ability to do very well in team sports or activities because not only is this one a natural athlete but also a great motivator. Britney will also be quite happy to stand on the sidelines cheering on the rest of the squad. These kids have a great sense of fair play and will put every effort into the "team". If anyone is going to question the rules, it could well be the Sagittarius child.

These kids love to learn and love to share what they have learned. That is their main objective of learning - passing on their knowledge. In many ways, the sign of the Archer is an intellectual Robin Hood. They will glean every ounce of knowledge from anywhere simply to pass it on to the less informed. The Sagittarian child just loves life, and everyone loves the Sagittarian character.

3rd House: This House is about early education. It is about mental stimulation that provokes learning through interaction and experience. And then using the lessons. The area for the child is the playground, playgroups and mixing with children the same age. It is about becoming familiar with the local environment and the neighbors. This is essentially the House that is all about communication at its best and its beginnings.

Britney has the Sun in the 3rd house, which shows brilliant communication skills. There is the gift for saying the right thing, at the right time. The ability to express ideas effectively is very natural and will become a source of pride to this child. Britney will know this is a very powerful asset.

These kids love to learn. The mind is quick and agile. It absorbs facts and figures and dates easily. Britney will just soak up information like a sponge. Smaller details will not be so much fun because these kids do get impatient. They will be breaking their necks to get on to something new, so they often glean a bit of knowledge about a lot of things. This is the intellectual "jack of all trades". Encourage this little one to finish off and be proud of results, even if this takes a few attempts. But try to discourage a whole lot of unfinished symphonies. These kids have to learn to visualize and plan, and realize their objectives. In many ways, these kids need the approval of the parents, so taking notice of the lack of tenacity will show that you are genuinely interested in what Britney is up to.

Britney will chatter away to all and everyone and will soon be a well-known entity in the local neighborhood. This is a good source of gossip - your own included. Be aware of curious little ears if you are discussing anything private, confidential, or embarrassing. This child does not classify its information and can exaggerate the facts, getting the real story very wrong. This little one can cause a few arguments in the home, but family is very important. There will always be a close connection even if there is some sibling rivalry.

There will have to be lots of books, games, and any other current learning tools on hand to keep this child happy. To sit and do nothing is the cruelest fate imaginable here. Britney will also love scooting around the neighborhood by any means possible - just as long as there is something happening - something active and something interesting.

The Moon is our instinctive, emotional response. It is the innermost feelings and sensitivities that stem from the subconscious. Our Moon will always be our natural reaction when our defenses are down. The Moon reflects our early conditioning, our habits, and the automatic responses that come from our early environment. Often all of this relates directly to the "Mother" figure. It is perhaps the "child" in all of us.

In reading a child's chart, the Moon, in the house, the sign and the aspects, needs to be given special understanding. These are the indications on where Britney could need special attention very early, to cope with feelings of insecurity, lack of confidence, or a low self-esteem. Recognizing these needs, and working through them, will help to produce a secure and confident adult.

The Moon often reflects the "Mother figure" in our lives, which is consequently why the Moon figures so strongly in a child's chart. The placement of the Moon often describes the relationship with the Mother, which is why the "Mother" is mentioned in many areas of the Moon explanations.

The Moon sign is the more noticeable personality trait in the formative years. We tend to "grow into our Sun sign as we develop and become the person we were meant to be. The Moon in the Chart signifies the unconscious attitudes and feelings and whether or not we feel supported and accepted. It is also the accumulated attitude reflected by our own past and the historical past. The Moon will echo values and instincts that are picked up from our early environmental experiences.

This luminary is the most important factor after the influences of the Sun and the Ascendant. It describes how we express our emotions and how well we deal with them. In some cases, the ever-important Sun can put up some defenses against the Moon. When very different, we can struggle to assimilate our emotions and our reason. Like the other planets, the Moon has strong and weak points in any sign, and we should try to develop the strong points. If the Moon is in compatible company, we will express our emotions very easily and we will be sensitive to other people's needs and feelings. With competition, the Moon can mean that there can be difficulty letting our feelings flow. The Moon and the Ascendant can be of an awkward mix, making the projected personality, and how we actually feel inside, quite different. But, this is all a part of the character and we are well able to bind the differences and round off the disposition.

Britney was born with the Moon in Aquarius, and is a child who has dozens of friends and mixes in very well with others. However, although these kids genuinely enjoy all their friends and have no trouble at all attracting all the company that they want, they can be quite aloof and quite remote. They almost have an invisible circle around them that marks a private and sacred place where no one is allowed to go. That is "their" space. They will love group activities, but will like to leave the door open just in case they want to leave. Britney will be highly independent and demand a sense of freedom. In fact, any sort of restriction brings out the crankiness in this child. To feel as free as the breeze comes natural to the child with the high-flying Aquarius Moon.

This kid will have some difficulty with emotional outbursts - they simply do not do "emotional" that well. They will respond far better to a good logical reprimand that gives them a new angle and an objective view to think about. But a screaming match will just fall on deaf ears. Of course, Britney does need to learn a bit about the emotional side. This child will need to know that it is OK for the feelings to get out of control at times, but the natural reaction is cool logic. As these kids get older though, they will rationalize their own emotions and be quite open about what makes them tick. Again, logic rules.

This child with the Aquarius Moon is very stubborn. If they are forced to do anything that they do not want to do, they will dig their heels in. They can be very argumentative and will often toss in a provocative remark just to divert the attention. And then they will walk off leaving everyone else arguing about something that was never important anyway.

Britney will love to try new things and will experiment. These kids like to taste adventure and follow a natural curiosity. There will be a rebellious streak that will be hard to miss. Above all, Britney will work very hard to be "different". These youngsters are original, they like to stand out in a crowd, and they like to buck the system. They like to make a statement that is not just heard - it shrieks. They will love computers, modern technology and all the scientific objects that they can find. Britney will enjoy science fiction as much as science fact.

And there is a humanitarian here. Britney is one that could well bring home waifs and strays that need care, which includes animals as well as people. These kids will be likely to give away all that they have to someone whom they feel "needs" it more than they do. And their timing may not be all that good, because they are very spontaneous. Britney could give away the grocery money when that is all the money left to spare that week, because someone was "more hungry". This independent child really does care.

5th House: Creativity, having fun, playing with, and mixing with others - the essential social interaction. This is the house of developing life skills that involve contact with company. This house is about developing the skills to become popular, confident, and socially accepted. This house also relates strongly with children.

The child with the Moon in the 5th House will express themselves through their feelings, and those feelings are strong and vigorous. These kids love to have fun. They like to entertain and they like to be entertained. Britney will enjoy stories, television, computer games - in fact, anything that stretches the imagination. This child will become totally engrossed in anything that they do - they will "be there", one hundred per cent. They will "live" what they are experiencing. But if these kids are not interested, they will switch off. Try to encourage using this imagination in a creative way. Mostly though, Britney needs to be noticed and made to feel very special. If ignored, this child will become withdrawn and will probably head off towards company that does take notice of them. Britney will be warm and cuddly and need to feel plenty of the fuzzy emotional and physical contact to feel whole.

This little one has few inner secrets. They will tell you exactly how they feel, and why. They want you to know. Later in life, in relationships, these people are the same. It is all or nothing. Britney will have very strong likes and dislikes and will never pretend for the sake of keeping the peace. The natural reaction is to put all the cards on the table and discuss all of the deepest feelings and issues. Being secretive is not a trait of this placement.

These children can take a few risks because they like a bit of excitement, but often do not stop to think through the consequences. They get carried away with the anticipation, the adrenaline rush, and can be quite reckless at times. Joining sports groups or the likes can utilize the competitive streak and run off a bit of that energy as well.

The little planet Mercury is the mythical Messenger of the Gods. This planet is never far away from the Sun, often falling in the same sign at the time of birth, so it does tend to add emphasis to our Sun Sign. Even when Mercury is in the sign before or after the Sun, this is always considered a very personal planet.

Through Mercury, we learn all the basics in life. It indicates how we communicate, because it is here where we begin to watch and copy the rest of the family. This is the very beginning of questions and curiosity that fires up and fuels the learning process. From that point, we move on to recognizing the senses, and so our personal tastes and style develops. We learn how to exchange ideas and show how clever we are. We start to question and analyze. We learn to reason and classify what we have absorbed and then stretch for more information.

Mercury is our first experience of moving out into the world beyond the back yard, armed with all that we have learned. Through this planet, our flexibility and dexterity is revealed. This planet covers the intellectual stimuli but it also has a say in how clever we are with our hands and how well balanced we are physically.

Mercury is also associated with the nervous system. This is a busy little planet at the best of times, and responsible for a big part of our intrinsic character. When put under too much pressure, the nervous system buckles. Mercury is indicative of our sense of humor, the body language we exude, and our powers of expression. This is the planet of logic and reason. So, Mercury is indeed a very important planet. It might be tiny, but it is very potent.

This child with Mercury in Sagittarius has a mind that is very curious, independent, versatile impulsive, direct, and also argumentative. Britney will ask lots of questions and will want to know the complete answer to every question. Be warned, there are likely to be some deep and complex subjects that will be aired, too. Often their interests will lean towards the bigger issues rather than the usual - not the everyday or the mundane questions that all other kids ask.

There will be an interest in universal subjects. Britney will want to understand the patterns of the world in general. Everything seems to interest these little people - philosophy, psychology, foreign cultures, or religion. This natural curiosity will be beneficial in school if this child can learn to find some discipline and take as much interest in minor details as they do in the whole picture. Being so impatient can result in disappointing results when it comes to the crunch the facts. There is a strong need to learn to work and think things through more clearly - to take more care.

Britney can lack a tolerance for the views of others. There is natural tendency to say exactly what is on their mind with little concern for fact or reality. These kids are often downright blunt and good at jumping to conclusions, but they seldom mean to offend. Their natural instinct seems to be to "think" with the vocal chords, before actually thinking things through.

A wonderful imagination in this child could make for a natural storyteller. However, watch for the tendency of improving on the truth. Britney will like to make a good story even better, and with such an expressive wit, this child can tell a grandiose version of a good story.

Mercury in the sign of Sagittarius helps the understanding, and provokes the interest in the difficult and deeper subjects. These youngsters love to test new ground and new theories, so they will pick up the challenge even when the topic is abstract and difficult to define. The mere fact that it is "difficult" will fascinate Britney. Every new idea will be taken as a chance to grow and expand the mind. However, be mindful that this rather clever kid can be rather forgetful, too.

With the planet Mercury in its natural 3rd House, Britney will be a witty and clever little soul, especially in the use of words. There will be an abundance of curiosity so there will be loads of questions - these children will like to know what is going on, where, and why. This will probably be the one child that all the neighbors know and Britney will know all about the neighbors. And consider this fair warning, the neighbors could learn all about you from this friendly little chatterbox, too.

This youngster should be a good student at school as there is a natural love of learning. The mind is very receptive but does not stick to any one matter for long. The thoughts wander far and wide over many topics. In fact, there is a danger that the short concentration span does not glean quite enough to learn any subject thoroughly. Britney will need a prod now and again to renew their interest in areas that need a finished line. These children are very easily distracted.

This energy is of the physical variety, too. Being pinned down in one place for too long can be a nightmare for these youngsters. That includes sitting in the classroom as well as staying in their own back yard. The more they can move around, the better they like it. The grass will always seem greener on the other side of the fence as far as Britney is concerned. However, thinking about it will not satisfy this hunger. Britney will want to go check it out personally. Being cooped up will make this child feel frustrated and short-changed. They will be bursting to get away in case they think they are missing something.

Venus is the planet of love. This tiny planet is responsible for the stirring of the soft and sensual pleasures of nature. Venus opens the doors of appreciation to beauty, harmony, creativity, and of course, love, and affection. Venus arouses and stimulates our senses.

Venus is important because it shows how youngsters interact. It is where children learn to share and give. Venus shows how Britney attracts love and attention and also what and who Britney is attracted to. This planet will indicate whether the basic nature is warm and affectionate or whether there is some reserve attached.

The house that Venus is in indicates the area in which artistic talent is expressed. This is where the expressions of sensual understanding will be valid and utilized. It can also suggest where Britney may need special attention and nourishment, in order to learn how to interact with others.

With Venus, the planet of love and comfort, in the prudent sign of Capricorn, Britney will be quite reserved and rather timid. These children can be unsure of where they stand, as they seem to have been born with a fear of rejection. Reassurance needs to be given early, especially if they do seem a bit sullen or difficult to reach. These children need to be assured that they are OK, that they are loved - heaps. The controlled emotions do run deep, but are kept very private. Britney may not seem particularly cuddly, but these children do want and need the warmth and physical touches even if they do seem to resist. They find it hard to show affection, but they do feel deeply. And they do care.

These children are usually reliable, responsible and mature. But Britney will need respect. There is a need to be noticed and admired for the things that they do well - which is most things. These children will probably enjoy older people, or will gravitate towards company that is more serious. They make friends very slowly. But when these kids do trust and commit to friendship, and later, love, they are totally loyal, steadfast, patient and a tower of strength.

This little one will be quite ambitious and will carefully plan their moves and their life with caution. They will do most things in 'moderation' and will lean towards similar friends. These children do not like 'excessiveness' and find it distasteful in others.

Britney will be attuned to nature, the outdoors, and the elements. There is a sense of drama beneath this quiet exterior. A dry sense of humor and a gift for satire could materialize with experience and maturity. The sense of occasion that comes from the ballet or opera could rattle the senses of this serious child too.

4th House: This House is about the early home environment, the 'Mother' influence, and the family. This is the House where traditions are set and preserved. This is where basic development begins and where lifetime habits are formed. This House is all about nurturing.

Britney has Venus in the Fourth House. This should be a happy little homebody. Or at least, a child to whom a happy home is very important. Being loved by the parents is of the utmost importance to Britney. This is the basis of an essential sense of security. If this nourishment is not provided, Britney will miss some important lessons on how to interact with others, particularly the opposite sex when older. This child will become detached and difficult to reach. The emotions will be hidden away, robbing Britney of the warmth and natural ability to be able to love unconditionally. But with all the love and caring 'on tap', Britney will be secure and emotionally content.

Britney will love to have the immediate environment looking and feeling like a million dollars. There is great taste here, and an eye for color and balance with the ability to create an ambience even in the most humble abode. These children might live in the usual mess that most of their generation seems to prefer, but there will be fastidiousness when it comes to hygiene. Britney will be big on cleanliness.

Childhood memories will always be held close to the heart, which makes it so important that this era be productive for Britney. There will always be powerful sentiment attached to the home and to the early family life. Later in life, Britney will want a home that is warm, welcoming, and inviting. The ambition will be that no one will feel like a stranger within the walls of the hospitality that is offered. But, in many cases, these children will need a bit of a push to get them out of the nest. Britney can get too comfortable and not want to 'move on'.

With maturity, Britney may be a bit of a collector with a good eye for a bargain, especially antiques or collectibles. The taste may seem bizarre at times, but do not underestimate the clever eye and the strong intuition that goes with the territory here.

There is quite a lot of creativity here because the sense of vision is well coordinated, and the natural patience allows time to anticipate the end result. However, as a child, Britney will not have the confidence to let the artistic juices flow. This will need to be drawn out and encouraged.

Mars is essentially the "I am" in us. It is the "I -me -and -mine" - the basic, subjective ego. It is our energy, our initiative, and our drive. It is our aggression, our temperament, and our passion. Mars is the physical side of our psyche. A strong Mars makes for great sports people because they will be competitive with a real desire to win. Later in life, Mars indicates our sex drive.

This is a fiery little planet, so a strong Mars is a "fiery" little person who runs on high octane - one who will never know when to stop. The "water signs" can dilute this energy somewhat, or can perhaps drive the passion inward. The "fire" will then not be so obvious. However, once we get the hang of our Mars sign, it is an important part of us. It is the fuel on which we run.

These children with Mars in Virgo work everything out to the last detail. Britney is a perfectionist. Every action will be considered thoroughly and every move will need to have some purpose. This is reflected in the way Britney will work, which is carefully and systematically with great attention to detail. These youngsters will take the time to do their "homework" before they start a project. They like to have all the facts and all the options at their fingertips. They can't be bothered wasting time or energy on anything foolish and hate to leave anything half finished. This child will respect tools, and will enjoy working with all the latest gadgets. There is the patience and the willingness to take the time to master difficult techniques.

As Britney grows up, a strong sense of responsibility will develop. These children dislike irresponsibility in others as well as in themselves. But try to encourage Britney not to be too critical of others. Encourage a tolerant outlook and acceptance that everyone does not share their perfectionist abilities. Doctors, surgeons, nurses, and social workers often have Mars placed here. There is much associated with this placement that involves helping people. Britney will need to feel needed but this can also be the classic workaholic later in life.

The adolescent years and the onset of puberty can disturb these youngsters. Britney might not like the physical changes and girls, particularly, can get caught up in weight obsession or something similar. These youngsters can be rather slow to warm to the opposite sex. A petty hate session with the kid next door could be the sign of a budding romance.

12th House: This is a rather abstract House. It is the place of retreat and rejuvenation. It is the dream world; it is where and how a child escapes. This House highlights learning and getting in touch with the inner self. This House can also harbor fears and phobias. In many ways, the 12th House can be a lonely place, but many lessons are learned from this focus and many talents emerge. The realms of the deepest imagination are touched through this House. .

Britney has Mars in the 12th House, which is not an easy placement for Mars. The energy can be stifled in this house. These children may often be afraid to assert themselves. They can feel defeated before they start, convinced that making any efforts to be seen, or heard, would be futile. Britney could express this by being tired all the time. This attitude may have resulted from being with people who have not encouraged Britney very much. Somehow the self-confidence needs to be built and the courage instilled to disregard anyone that tries to inflict negativity.

These children tend to work in secret and to act behind people's backs. They should try to avoid this. Unfortunately, this child can possibly be blamed for things for which they are not responsible, so always check the facts. A total lack of self-confidence can make Britney so afraid of direct action that the natural course is to do everything indirectly. But deep down, this can be a very strong little person. Britney will just need to get over these hang-ups. Or Britney will need to be fortunate enough that someone recognizes early to start building up that confidence. Many athletes and surgeons have this placement.

These children can work very well on their own, as they do not need supervision. They just do not need any one to discourage them or to put them down. As they mature, these kids will come to believe in themselves naturally. The child with Mars in the twelfth House has a tendency to "think" about what they want to do, rather than just getting on and doing it. This can cause some frustration. These youngsters "know" but they are reluctant to push themselves, or their efforts, or their ideas. Again, this is a lack of confidence.

The sensitivities in this child can run deep through to the psychic nature of things. Britney is likely to have very vivid dreams. These youngsters will stand firm on principles, but may not openly express or explain where the ideas are coming from. Britney can find it easier to project an attitude or a mood to make a point rather than openly express the true feelings within.

Jupiter is a slower moving planet that stays in the same sign for about a year. Its sign has a direct personal effect only when it is in close aspect to the Ascendant or Midheaven, or forms a strong aspect with one of the personal planets. Jupiter is the planet of expansion, growth, and often, luck.

The house position of Jupiter relates to areas of life in which we will want to grow. It shows the area in which we are likely to think positively and optimistically. In a general sense, things work well for us in the house that Jupiter occupies. The keyword for Jupiter is expansion. That can be physically, mentally, or spiritually. Jupiter's position can relate to the expansion of assets relating to financial freedom, or perhaps, even, weight.

Jupiter in Scorpio suggests that Britney will just love mysteries. And by solving mysteries, these children will develop a great understanding of life. While young, they will ask a lot of questions. And will keep asking and searching until they get answers. The sheer persistence will be striking.

Any subject that interests Britney will be addressed with gusto, but not much attention will be given to the subjects that seem dull. Sometimes this placement shows a real interest in the supernatural. And when these children mature, they will be attracted to spiritual and mystical views of the universe. These can be deeply spiritual people but, equally, they can rely on drugs or alcohol as a prop at certain times in life.

Britney will never be satisfied with face value. There will always be the urge to look deeper for a truer meaning - even if there is not one. This child should be good at research because this is a scientific mind. These kids often develop an interest in how other people "work". They are quite natural psychologists and they learn a great deal through studying and watching. The only problem here is that these children may sometimes be reluctant to share their insights and knowledge. Especially while young, they can have trouble communicating what they know. And Britney might just enjoy being secretive. This can be a bit of a mind game.

But this child will be efficient, hard working and quite shrewd. In adulthood, there can be a critical flair for business. There should be sound financial judgement that will help them to excel. Britney will also be always willing to carry the full load if necessary to get the job done right, but will also be quite uncompromising.

2nd House: This House is about values and possessions. It is the "my things" attitude. It is where nourishment is needed to feel confident and secure. This House is about experiencing the sensual fundamentals in order to feel fulfilled and loved. This House puts a real value on tangible assets and it is where real fears are born with respect to deprivation. It is also where we learn to provide for ourselves if we must. It is where we discover our "comfort zone".

Britney will be very warm and affectionate wanting lots of love and cuddles. Britney will also like to collect things. These children can compensate their insecurities by amassing far too much. If they feel threatened or abandoned, possessions will be their comfort zone. The more insecure they feel, the more extreme this trait will become. Quite a selfish streak can emerge when this little one "feels" neglected or denied. But if this child is loved and showered with warm affection this will not be a problem. They will share what they have quite gladly and in fact be quite generous.

When older, Britney could work hard to earn the money to travel. As an adult, making money should be relatively easy, but these people are considered to be big spenders too. Everything they buy has to be large and elegant. Jupiter in the 2nd House often indicates rather privileged finances and spending powers. As a child, these kids just like to spend. What they buy may be a waste of money, but as they mature their taste and discretion improves. They will become confident in their own abilities, both with finances and with vision. Speculations will often pay off.

There are always two sides of Saturn - what is, and what can be. Saturn stays in the same sign for approximately two and a half years, so all of the children born around the same time as Britney will show the same characteristics. Saturn in the sign is therefore personal only when forming one or more aspect(s) with the personal planets, the Ascendant, or the Midheaven.

Saturn is all about progress, but it is the slow and sure progress - nothing happens quickly with this rather severe planet. This is where we learn the art of survival. Saturn makes us stop, look, and listen and not go rushing in. This is where we come up against brick walls, where we have to review the lessons learned and modify the next move. Saturn makes us accept responsibility, accept a challenge, and move forward. Saturn is the reason behind many of our fears, our sense of guilt and our sense of failure, but, again, when we beat these obstacles, we are so much wiser and stronger.

The House in which Saturn falls signifies the areas where life can be tough. Nothing seems to come easily, and yet the prospects are of significance. This is the area where our fears will have to be addressed, and where our confidence will need to be lifted. Discipline and patience will be badly needed here in order for us to gain control. It is where we must stop and think, but ultimately we learn from Saturn - he is a great teacher. Saturn is often related to the father figure, or the "authority" figure that influences Britney. Difficult aspects with Saturn often indicate problems in this area.

Britney has the planet Saturn in the sharing sign of Libra. Libra will always weigh up all the options, and Saturn adds even more to this sense of caution. This child will need plenty of time to make decisions and will always want to know all the angles before drawing a conclusion. But once the big moment has come and a final decision has been made, it is usually right. It is important that Britney is allowed to have a say in things when old enough. These kids must learn to form their own opinions, develop their own lives, and expand on their own ideals. Saturn in Libra can end up rather narrow minded and rather egalitarian if not encouraged to mix and match ideas and draw personal conclusions.

Britney can seem reserved in friendships and relationships, but once committed this will be a very loyal friend. This child simply cannot sit back and allows wrongs to happen. This little watchdog will come out fighting for the cause if they think a friend is being badly done by.

Saturn here can delay marriage until later in life. Britney may simply wait longer than most, or this could indicate obstacles in the path of romance. A successful marriage will require a whole lot of patience. These people can be too giving and too compromising, but if confidence is instilled very early, this should not be a major problem. There can be fear of rejection that rules the emotions, but again, self-confidence will restore this before it gets out of control.

1st House: This powerful House is essentially the outward expression and obvious character traits. It represents the "I, me, and mine" - the ego and the subjective - the "I want" attitude. This House also shows the "I can do" attitude. This is about spontaneous openness, and the inherent qualities that drive the personality.

With Saturn in the first house, Britney will show shyness or even an inferiority which can stem from feeling unloved - or perhaps being expected to take on more than a fair share of responsibility at a tender age. This could be an eldest child perhaps. But often these kids can feel robbed of a childhood for some reason. This is usually an old head on a young shoulder. Childhood can actually be quite a lonely time.

Often the parent(s) will go through hard times that will take a toll on everyone. However, through adversity comes the ability to gain a solid sense of what is important. During childhood, Britney will respond to chores and a certain amount of responsibility. These kids like to feel useful, but take care this is not overdone.

Later in life, these people are highly disciplined and will be able to achieve a whole lot more than many others with the same chances. But, they will be prone to depression until they come to terms with earlier circumstances that were out of anyone's control. This is not an easy place for Saturn - life will seem like and obstacle race at times. These kids will wonder why they cannot be in the right place at the right time now and again.

A big bonus though is that as an adult, these people age rather slowly. They hold their age well and often enjoy their later years a whole lot more than they do their childhood years. True self-respect, self esteem and success may be a long time coming - but it will come to Britney.

Uranus is a huge planet that has the reputation for causing all sorts of chaos. Uranus has a mind of its own; racing around in space on its side and with an orbit that is unpredictable. Uranus is very difficult to spot with the naked eye. Similarly, the Uranian traits are quite difficult to 'spot'.

This 'cranky' planet brings change - unexpected, sudden and completely disruptive change. It can be the source of disasters or miracles. The function of Uranus is to disrupt our view of reality, and give us an alternative view beyond the known and the visible. Uranus provides sudden flashes of insight and creative genius, as well as practiced eccentricity. Uranus has the ability to shake up the comfort of the 'norm' and catapult us into a rather scary future.

This planet stays in each sign for about 7 years so is considered one of the slow movers. The qualities that stem from the sign that Uranus is in will affect all of the children in the same era as Britney. As the slow moving planets move from sign to sign, the differences will be subtle, but they will loosely apply to the philosophy and the attitudes of the child concerned.

Uranus in the House is a whole lot more personal. This will be where Britney will display a uniqueness of character. It will be where the intuition is heightened, and the need to be 'different' will be apparent. It can be the area where Britney is subjected to major changes and disruptions over which there is no control. The issues that apply to the house that Uranus falls in can involve a lifetime struggle to conquer and understand.

Uranus in Sagittarius (1981-1988). Uranus is a planet concerned with sudden changes. Sagittarius is the sign of the intellectual who seeks truth. These children will be the philosophers who question the establishment and the monumental structures. They will challenge beliefs and traditions, being much more interested in the new and the innovative. The eye will be on future improvements rather than staying in the past. This bunch of children will be very much in touch with the modern age of technology and will love it. They will also be acutely aware of the inequality throughout the world. The eye will be sincerely on protecting our planet for the future and on the good of all 'mankind'. However, much as the dreams will be genuine and bold, they may not be practical. These children will be proactive and innovative, but the minor details, and workable solutions, could be a job for the next generation.

A sense of prophecy coupled with intuition and a "big" optimism could see a lot of energy being put into improving the lot of the under-privileged. Many of these people will have sound judgement - because they do look at the broad picture. But an important ingredient will be a need for total freedom of expression. True tenacity and dedication could be fleeting.

Britney has the erratic planet Uranus in the 2nd house. These children will seem to have little or no practical sense when it comes to money or possessions. It will be easy come and easy go for Britney. From an early age, it will need to be taught that we do need to be careful and protect what we have. We must 'look after' our possessions. Britney is likely to lose interest in toys, books and clothes in a matter of minutes, and so wander off leaving any 'goodies' behind. Try to teach this child to budget out the pocket money and consider tomorrow. It is unlikely that Britney will ever be materialistic, but downright carelessness can be cured. The 'things' and possessions that do matter will be quite unusual. Try to extract the same interest in practical issues. These children are excitable, independent and can be very stubborn. Britney will have some strange tastes in food.

As an adult Britney will probably not want to accumulate a whole lot of assets, preferring a life with little clutter that allows freedom to up and move at a minute's notice. A future career could well involve travel. Or equally the eventual career choice could be downright 'odd'. These children do like to be different. But the adult life can be fraught with fluctuating finances with the erratic planet Uranus in the 2nd house. However, this is a strong and loyal friend who will be trustworthy and a tower of strength in times of need. Britney may be rather different, but there will be a certain natural contentment that will be enviable.

Neptune is a vast and remote planet believed to be a very watery place. This giant lumbers through the heavens slowly, so Neptune in the sign is considered very generational. All kids born in the same era as Britney will have this similarity. To take on any personal meaning, there needs to be a close affiliation with one of the personal planets, the Ascendant, or the Midheaven.

Neptune is a mysterious planet. It covers all areas of creativity, the imagination, illusion and also deception. Neptune casts a watery haze that can enhance the sheer beauty involved, or it can distort the picture entirely. Being associated with water and moving in the realms of the subconscious, Neptune seems to water down inner confidence. The strength that radiates is inner strength that is fine for the experienced adult, but it can seem of little use to the vulnerable child. Hence, escapism, drugs, alcohol, oppressive sects, and even isolated institutions are associated with Neptune.

When Neptune is in a strained position reality gets fuddled causing confusion and deception. The true value of Neptune dissolves old patterns for new, but this is quite an obscure occurrence with little logic to explain it. It is a deep and personal learning curve that slowly unfolds. It is the stirring deep within the subconscious.

Neptune in the House indicates areas of life that will experience the Neptunian lessons. It will be where we need to adapt on a practical level without losing the gifts of this mystical planet. It can be where we have to suffer in order to grow.

Neptune is idealistic, it is imagination and illusion, and it is mystical. This planet cannot be caught and captured. Neptune rules photography which explains its function well because it tends to take an image and put it in a different dimension. Neptune is imagery. For a youngster, this can be a very difficult energy to deal with because many of the courses it takes are unclear, vague, but powerful. But this planet is the rainbow that we are blessed with. It is elusive, but it is very beautiful.

Neptune in Sagittarius (1970 - 1985). Neptune is the planet of illusion, dreams and ideology. Sagittarius is the sign of the Sage, of wisdom, and of great learning. Through this era, philosophy will gather strength as opposed to traditional churches. The oppression inflicted by the former religious groups will be seriously challenged; the fight for equality will be launched. Truth will prevail over historical acceptances. This generation could well chase a path that is more realistic and less judgmental that before. Egalitarianism for all humanity will be the basis of the future creeds. This generation will be prepared to fight their cause on an intellectual basis and will not be afraid to speak out. There could well be some brilliant charismatic spiritual leaders evolve from this era.

Clairvoyant abilities are more common and accepted. Spiritual healing will become fashionable. The world becomes smaller and smaller as more people travel. Different countries and creeds will know and understand each other a lot better, and the old dictatorial habits will draw a powerful criticism.

Neptune in the Third House heightens the imagination, which Britney will show in all areas of creative communication. Neptune in this House often suggests dealings with the media or with advertising. Poetry, prose, - in fact any sort of inspired word will draw Britney. However, there can be a wee problem that needs to be sorted. These kids have to learn to separate truth from fantasy, separate what they want to believe from what they know to be true. Britney must be taught to identify the imagination, the logical, and the actual, and then deal with the differences of all areas on an equal footing.

This child, when young, will have some problems with stopping the mind from drifting and wandering. There can even be nervous disorders as there can be deep insecurities in the childhood years. Often there can be rifts with the family at some stage, which could attribute to this "nervousness". This could also attribute to the tendency to fabricate or expand on the truth. It is not always the case, but there is a strong possibility with Neptune in the third House, that lies and deceit do come easily.

These kids can put family members on an unrealistic pedestal rather than accept a less than perfect situation. There are many ways that Britney could actually feel deceived and in turn, become deceptive. Obviously, this sensitive kid needs to be taught to accept reality and opt for the inspirational world of fantasy as an adventure and a creative but productive part of the psyche. With this vivid imagination, these children can say a great deal to make others understand. Take the time to allow Britney to shake off the negatives and share the positives. Neptune in the third House shows a very intuitive mind, and sometimes, clairvoyant abilities. Britney can be too idealistic and quite gullible so must learn not to accept everything so readily.

Britney has the powerful planet, Pluto, in the First House so will be very intense taking everything seriously. It is all or nothing - either something has to be so important that this child will have to throw themselves in 100% - or they simply will not bother at all.

Britney will have strong will power. The extremes to which this child can go can be quite scary for others who are more relaxed. The approach is full on and packed full of mental and physical energy. The actual presence will be quite powerful - if not over-powering. This child will always push the limits simply to see how far they can go.

Britney will need to realize the effect that the personality does have because there will be a strong magnetism. However, these kids have the ability to stir up intense feelings in others. The powerful attraction will be difficult to miss. But this can provoke as much strong dislike as it does respect. Britney needs to accept this ability and accept the responsibility. In many ways, these kids can be loners. Friends that are made will be deep and solid with a real base, but these friends will probably be few. Often there is a feeling of being misunderstood, but deep down this is a bit of an enigma. Generally, these are a gentle and very sensitive people. However, when provoked or panicked, there is enormous anger that surfaces.

Conformity is never easy with Pluto in the 1st House. There is often the gift to be able to look back and see the future quite clearly. This broody child will be private and deep. Britney will always be quite capable of handling life and all the lessons that are thrown in. The actual "image" projected will be private, but under the surface, there will be continual changing and growing. Britney will have the ability to lead but will have to take care to aim for objective results rather than be totally subjective.

An explanation of the Aspects: These are very important in any natal chart. It is when 2 or more planets "make connection" with each other. To be of significance, the "orb" or degree of this connection, must be relatively close. All the Aspects are of significance, but some are more powerful than are others. And, of course, they all have different meanings.

Conjunction: A powerful and dynamic aspect. This is when two or more planets are sitting right next to each other and they will either back each other up, or compete against each other. Being in the same sign and same house adds up to a lot of weight.

Sextile: The distance between any planets involved in a "Sextile" is 60 degrees. This aspect brings the opportunity to be productive or creative. But the energy of the Sextile must be used - it will not just "happen" Both planets will fall in either Masculine or Feminine signs, so they are compatible.

Square: There will be a 90-degree separation between any planets involved in a "Square". Here is an indication of obstacles and stress that need to be worked through. The planets "square off" against each other but - these are personal learning curves of life. These are hurdles for us to jump but through them we learn and grow. The lessons from Squares tend to be subjective. These aspects will be in signs of the same quality.

Opposition: As the name suggests, any planets that form an "opposition" will be smack, bang opposite each other at 180-degrees apart. This is where one learns to compromise and give a little. The opposition usually involves other people. These lessons are quite objective. Being in polar opposite signs of the zodiac, these planets mirror each other.

Inconjunct also known as the Quincunx: This is considered a "minor" aspect but is about our personal growth and long-term development in the area of the personality. It shows us our limitations and how we can expand a little. The distance between the two celestial bodies here will be 150 degrees apart. Being relatively minor, the orb used is generally rather tight. This aspect would be almost exact to rate in this interpretation.

Britney has the fiery planet Mars in square to the sensitive planet Neptune. This can be a difficult aspect. The problem for this child may well be not enough encouragement. They will be so deeply sensitive, and will have trouble projecting what they want or how they feel. They will feel that everything works against them and they just cannot win. These youngsters can feel insignificant and unworthy. The energy of Mars needs constructive expression. These young people want to be accepted. They want to be seen and heard. And if the confidence is not built up, they are highly likely to resort to devious tactics to be noticed.

Britney can repress frustration, let emotions get totally out of proportion, and become very miserable. Later in life, this aspect can signify a desire to escape from this world altogether - perhaps through drugs, or perhaps through strange cults or religions. These poor kids can be very easily persuaded that they do not "fit in."

Puberty can be particularly difficult for Britney. With emotional and physical changes that the hormone shift provokes, these young adolescents can feel vulnerable and fragile. They can relate easily to the opposite sex, but can be afraid and suspicious of the new responses. Feeling comfortable in a personal relationship with the opposite sex can be a huge adjustment for Britney.

Britney could suffer allergies or a tendency to minor illnesses. This child should be very careful about the kinds of drugs are used, even under a doctor's care. They may be more sensitive to drugs than are others, so real care and responsibility are needed.

From an early age, Britney must be taught to roll with the punches of life, to have the courage to accept both the good and the bad. Britney must not be allowed to wallow in self-pity. This child will need to develop its own abilities, and a willingness to accept responsibility when something goes wrong. But Britney will need to receive all the encouragement possible in order to eliminate the inherent possibilities of this aspect. If the negatives are recognized and not focused on, Britney will handle life with a whole lot more ease.

With Venus, the planet of love and comfort, in square to the intense planet Pluto, Britney will be capable of the deepest of emotions and feelings. There will also be a whole lot of difficulty attached to relationships and love. Many of the big lessons to be learned will come through interactions with others.

It is very important that this child learns to understand what makes them tick. Britney will need to accept and address that there are powerful feelings within that can be difficult to understand and handle. Much of the impulsiveness comes from deep within, which can be baffling and difficult to understand. These children are more intense than are most children. They can form unlikely friendships that are doomed from the start, but these children won't be stopped. They simply have something to learn from that friendship. Many lessons will involve pain and disappointment. Britney is all or nothing when it comes to love and friendships. When these children 'love', they give their all. They will be totally loyal. But they will also be quite jealous and possessive, which can cause problems. To ease some of this intensity, point Britney towards other areas of self-expression, such as dance, music, or art. Try to encourage this child to reach outwardly and share, rather than reach inwardly too much. Try to help Britney to release this deep passion. Try to teach Britney to accept some limitations. The sights can be set too high and so 'less than perfect' becomes a failure rather than a jolly good effort.

With Venus, the planet of love, in trine to the energetic planet Mars, this child will be especially warm, affectionate, and loving, with a happy disposition. Britney will always look for the best in everyone. The ability to mix and be accepted will be a huge asset because these children don't make demands. With such an easy disposition, they will be able to handle the most inflexible individual and bring out the best in them.

This is a fun-loving little person, who will enjoy company and enjoy a good time. There is an enthusiasm for life that others will find inspiring. These children are totally agreeable. But they will not compromise themselves in order to please. Britney will have plenty of confidence and this child will know that they are liked for themselves - not for being 'nice'. Britney will be quite natural.

Often this aspect indicates a strong creative drive, although not necessarily an artistic ability. These children are capable of the 'create something out of nothing' sort of thing, and they will love doing this. They have natural style, flair, and panache.

As Britney grows up, the attraction to the opposite sex will be quite intense. And it will be an all or nothing thing. Love at first sight springs to mind, but this youngster will not be interested in casual affairs. It will be the full bloom of romance, or nothing. They will not be interested in quick flings. And, Britney will always have the complete confidence to make the first move in a friendship or a romance.

Britney will work well within a group, being able to pursue personal goals and satisfaction without seriously treading on anyone else's toes. Friends, teachers, and mentors will recognize a strong sense of justice. These kids will always get along easily with authority figures. Adults will trust and give out responsibilities knowing that any trust will be treated with respect. These kids do not feel that they have to prove themselves. They may, deep down, believe that they are rather special, but they do not push this fact. They let those around them make their own judgements.

Britney has the chatty little planet Mercury in sextile aspect to the Ascendant, so will be recognized as a real talker - and a very good talker at that. These kids are so expressive. They are inquisitive and the little mind is so active that it just wants to soak up information from all round them. These children love company. They sparkle when they are in a group, but feel lost on their own. They need to bounce their ideas around, have someone to talk to, or to just listen. Their own interesting personality will attract friends very easily. Britney will enjoy any sort of activity that involves others and that helps to stretch the brain and the imagination. Creativity should also be encouraged, because this aspect can suggest ability here.

Britney will prefer to have lots of things on the go at once. Variety is the spice of life, and besides, these kids hate to be idle. There could easily be a talent for writing, so encourage this area too. Britney will actually have many interests. One problem may be that these kids can find it hard to stay in one mode long enough to see a project through. The kind of restlessness that applies here will involve all aspects of life. The grass will always look greener on the other side of the fence, so Britney will not like to have options cut short by obligations. This popular kid will be reluctant to be tied to one friend - the more the merrier is the motto.

Britney will probably want to be a part of any available group activity from quite a young age. This little one will adore going to playgroup, and later school - because that is where the action is and there is just so much to learn. Sharing will always be important to Britney and groups or clubs will be where concentrated knowledge will be available.

Britney has the Sun sextile to the Moon making for a sociable little person. These kids just love any sort of interaction that will be an essential part of the personality throughout life. It is highly likely that the family will always be supportive and encouraging, thus showing Britney, in an undeniable way, how to mix and mingle comfortably. The art of compromise is likely to be the most basic fundamental within the family unit, so this ability is learned very young. Even if the domestic atmosphere is less than tranquil, Britney will cope well and will cast a powerful influence of peace and harmony anyway. Britney, however, will always prefer company to being alone.

Although Britney will be quite ambitious and will have hopes and goals, the need for positive examples will reinforce this. These kids can be too laid back, too relaxed, and be reluctant to make a move or apply serious effort. This can actually become a problem if it is not recognized. Britney can settle for a whole lot less than what is possible. There can be a sheer reluctance to accept change of any sort. Make sure that little goals are placed early. Make a point of changing the bedroom around or the living area furniture. Get Britney to help, and make a big fuss of how it was a big improvement. Emphasize the need to want something badly and then be prepared to go for it. Sooner or later, Britney will adapt to change and be more willing to move some.

Britney has Uranus sextile the Ascendant, so will be an outspoken and very independent child with strong and unique ideas - and is one who will demand to be listened to. These children do want to be taken seriously, but can easily get into trouble because of the very outspokenness of their nature. This trait often draws a big fat negative from adults. But this child will say it as they see it.

The mind is very active. Britney will like to learn anything new and will tend to think that if something is new - like an idea, or a thing, or a friend - then it has to be better than anything 'old', or 'established'; but these children will have to learn that progress has a start line somewhere. Britney will probably always like any new gadget that comes out. Novelty values will always be high on the list of attractions.

These children will like to be around exciting people who offer a challenge in a positive way. A 'best' friend could change frequently, simply to keep the flow of mental stimulation in motion. Later in life, Britney will be drawn to rather eccentric and offbeat-type people, and will steer clear of conventional straight-laced types. The latter sort of predictable company will bore these types to tears - especially as they grow up. Where no intellectual challenge is offered, there will be absolutely no interest.

Britney has the Sun in conjunction to the planet, Mercury. This gives a good mind and a little person who will enjoy talking with anyone that has a minute to spare. A good chat means more to this child than anything does. They just love conversations. But Britney will feel very bad when challenged. These kids want to be right and take it all personally if criticized or proved wrong. They also have great difficulty stopping long enough to listen up. They either want to dominate the conversation, or if this is not possible, the mind will wander off the greener pastures. To a certain extent, this is a hallmark of this aspect. This person can have ears on the side of the head - just for decoration. But if they are made to be aware of this, and corrected, this should not be a major problem. Britney will actually learn more from reading, watching a video, or a film than sitting through tedious lectures.

This child will have a great need to express personal opinions and can get rather ratty when others do not take all these fantastic ideas seriously. But Britney has a very quick and a rather intellectual mind. Any communications will be colorful, enthusiastic, and enlightening. These kids think on their feet and do so exceptionally well. With maturity, they will be highly focused on their own ideas. There is the knowledge that the hard yards have been put in so there is no doubt that these kids know exactly what they are talking about.

Some children with this aspect can be rather creative and clever with their hands. Encourage this area, because this can be so good for Britney. It helps to develop the patience and tenacity. It also calms the nerves as these kids can be quite highly-strung and can develop some nervous habits in childhood.

Britney has the expressive planet Mercury in conjunction to the erratic planet Uranus giving a mind that is bright, curious, and articulate. The thinking here is intuitive, and original. Their mind races to answer every question that arises. This inquisitive nature probably surfaces early by taking toys apart to see what makes them work. If nothing more exciting crops up, they will quite easily put the thing back together, too. But if there is any distraction, the moment will be lost and greener pastures will be far more exciting. These children are easily distracted.

Britney will learn very quickly, managing to understand the more complicated subjects with relative ease. The thinking patterns lean very much to the world of tomorrow, making anything possible as far as these little ones are concerned. However, the curiosity and the sheer speed that drives the intellect can mean that Britney will tend to glide over important points rather than delve deeply, and consequently, might neglect learn the facts thoroughly. There can be many unfinished symphonies due to running out of interest. Try to encourage Britney to learn to finish their current effort before racing into a new project. And also very important, let Britney see and understand that even the brain needs some "down time." The frantic pace that is set results in a very tired child that sometimes will be impossible to deal with. And Britney will indeed have the ability to throw a wrench in the works on such occasions. This can actually become a bit of a game and an "attention thing."

There will probably be a strong interest in electronic technology. Science and the futuristic world will be a strong source of fascination. Britney will be fascinated with any off- beat, unusual, or exciting field of study. The intuition in this child is very strong too.

Britney has the big planet Jupiter in conjunction with the powerful planet Pluto. Pluto moves very slowly, so this aspect will affect all of the kids born around the same time as Britney. Unless either of these two planets gets reinforcement from a close contact to one or more of the inner planets, this should not be considered particularly personal.

These kids will often have a strong drive to achieve something of significance. They could develop a very strong and penetrating insight, and powerful leadership ability. This aspect does not guarantee fame, because it affects so many people at once, but it usually indicates that these people will achieve something in their own way. There will be ambition, determination, and maybe a bit of a ruthless streak.

Especially while these kids are young, they must learn to respect other people. There can be a tendency to ram their way through life with no thought to anyone except themselves. A sheer sense of ambition and single-mindedness can stir up strife.

With the expressive planet Mercury inconjunct the Midheaven, Britney may always feel that personal opinions and tastes are out of step with the parents, or the peers. This will bother this child, as they will notice this difference even if others do not. In a way, Britney will tend to "compare", and try to analyze these feelings, instead of just accepting the differences. These children can become quite paranoid and use this as a weapon to become accusatory of their family if they are allowed to let this confusion grow. They need to learn that they do have their own ideas and they are quite strong ideas - and that is OK. Britney should be encouraged to state any opinions freely, and then listen to alternatives.

It is very important that this little one does learn to say what they mean without being argumentative. These youngsters can be quite abrupt and the words can come out very wrong. Learn to laugh with Britney when this happens and gently explain what came out wrong. These little ones must learn to quietly think things through before they try to express themselves, and then to not be afraid to speak up.

With Venus, the planet of love, in square to the limitations of the planet Saturn, Britney will have to work hard to accept that giving love and receiving love should be easy. These children need a whole lot of reassurance and unconditional love right from the very beginning of their life. They need to be taught to give and receive hugs and cuddles, to give and receive praise, to learn to develop some self-confidence. Saturn drains these natural fundamentals for Britney, so effort is needed to replenish.

These children will often feel that they don't matter. They feel unimportant and tend to switch off. They find it easier to be totally detached rather than run the risk of rejection. But deep down, they have a deep hunger and a deep need to be loved and be able to love. They become very cold and remote out of a real fear of rebuff and a sense of inadequacy. However, with plenty of emotional support and physical affirmation of love, the confidence will develop. Britney will be simply shy, but not afraid.

These children have to learn that you win some, and you lose some, and that's life. It is not personal. That is just the way that it is. They may well have difficulty in expressing their feelings even when they badly want to. But with encouragement, Britney will learn. More than anything else, this little one needs to have confidence. Gaining this confidence could well involve extra nourishment from parents and loved ones from a very early age.

With the emotional Moon in trine to the limitations of Saturn, Britney is likely to be an introvert and rather shy. Exposing emotions and deep feelings can be difficult, and yet this child will exude a quiet confidence. It is likely that Britney will feel that it is not cool to show the feelings.

These kids are quite serious and like to be respected for this. There is a practical mind so dreams and fantasies do not come easily. The sense of purpose is powerful, and these kids are not interested in silly stuff. But this can be a problem. Britney can analyze and procrastinate for too long in trying to make practical sense out of every move. There will be times when being too cautious will lead to "missed" opportunities. These kids may pass on something that can be fun and worthwhile, but the "fun" part overrides the decision. Habit can put a squeeze on having a go and becoming more rounded.

Britney may not develop a large circle of friends, but the friendships formed will be loyal and true. The sort of friendships that are formed will last forever. Honesty runs strong in the nature here with a sense of responsibility and obligation. As an adult, this child will be very good in business or in a managerial position.

There is a whole lot of personal dignity here, but Britney can have difficulty projecting warmth. However, if this aspect is recognized, the parents should try to get this child to learn to loosen up early in life. Teach Britney to learn to trust and learn that its OK to have a bit of fun. Britney will always be responsible and trustworthy but also, with some guidance, can learn to relax too.

With Venus, the planet of love, in square to the big benevolent planet Jupiter, Britney will have a lot of positive energy. They will be totally optimistic, but will dip out badly in the area of self-discipline. These children love life. They enjoy company and they are great company. And they are easy to love. They are warm and generous. They have a load of charm and will have a load of friends. But Britney will be very difficult to pin down.

Having fun might be at the expense of achieving much of anything. Often, no one will push these children because they have such a winning way. And when it does happen, and Britney is taken to task, the big easy grin and the infectious nature will probably win again. These children can have a thick skin. Staying comfortable beats any reason to get uptight or defensive, especially about anything as petty as moving one's butt. Nevertheless, they will have to learn to cope with the serious side of life and put in a bit of effort.

In some cases, this aspect means that there can be a creative talent, but again, a bit of work and a bit of discipline will be needed to utilize this. Britney could well earn a living through these talents later. But only if they are prepared to put in the hard yards.

The prominence of the Planets and the contacts that they make with each other define the strongest Planet(s) in the Natal Chart. Some planets make a lot of "noise" which you will see in the area of the "Aspects" whilst some are just waiting for something to happen. The following are considered the Powerhouse Planets and their meetings and positions add a further dimension to the attitudes and aptitudes of Britney.

There can be more than one "strongest planet" in which case the person will have a natural ability to dance to many tunes - they will be adaptable and versatile. But if one planet or luminary comes through as the absolute leader, then the person will be very specifically made up of the flavor of that celestial body.

Venus is a very bright little planet that is often the jewel that we see when we look skyward on a crisp clear evening. You can't miss the planet of love and creativity twinkling down. Venus defines our values. It relates to our capacity to attract other people and to how we accumulate personal assets to satisfy our sense of well being. Venus being so prominent in this Chart indicates that Britney will be a bright and happy little person. These children may seem larger than life because they enjoy life, especially all the good things. They can be a bit laid back. They can even be quite lazy at times because they get comfortable and feel reluctant to move. So, as long as there is something to eat and drink, and entertainment is there at the push of a button, Britney will be happy. Whoever invented the 'remote control' must surely have had Venus showing strongly in their chart.

These children can also be a bit greedy, as they love possessions. They like amassing lots of things and they may not be too keen to share. They adore sheer comfort and luxury, but this is their sense of security. This strong influence of Venus causes Britney to be a person who will feel completely beaten if in an isolated situation or not knowing where the next meal is coming from. Britney will like nice clothes, will like to look good, and will probably be attracted to the opposite sex very early in life. No doubt, pure sex appeal will be one of the strongest assets. In adulthood, there will be expensive tastes. These people take their pleasures very seriously. There could well be creative, artistic, or musical talent here that should be nurtured.

With the Planet of Love so prominent in this chart, love of course, is very important to Britney. This child will always want to know that they are loved; they themselves are very warm, very cuddly, and very affectionate. There will be no shortage of friends, and later, admirers. This will be a popular little package.

Pluto is a little planet that is all power. It moves through the heavens in its own way and at its own pace, paying little attention to anyone as it tracks its elusive course. But this little planet knows exactly where it is going. Pluto is all about regeneration. Pluto takes old ideas by the scruff of the neck and shakes them violently until they have no further use. It finds a vague beginning for a brand new concept. Pluto rules volcanoes and the Plutonian changes are often of volcanic magnitudes. This is a rather cold planet. It is difficult to define. It is difficult to follow and difficult to penetrate, but underneath this chill is a deep and burning passion. Britney with a powerful Pluto in the natal chart will be all of these things. These kids will be secretive and often silent. They will be clever. They will work their way through enormous changes in their lives, going through passages of darkness alone and coming out the other end a brand new person. The result can be a total transformation. Only they will truly understand where they have been. And this child will not be particularly interested in explaining anything to anyone. Britney will be very private, very deep, but totally fascinating.

These kids do seem to have a certain knowledge that they exude but do not express or openly share. Others "feel" the power of this little person. They will be passionate in all that they do and their anger will be, again, volcanic. These kids will not be violent in their daily lives. In fact, they will be slow to anger but their depth of feeling is immeasurable.

Britney will be strongly motivated, very determined, very stubborn, and probably quite ambitious. It will be a rare occasion that will make this child admit defeat. They will plot their own paths and follow them with sheer determination. Much of the path though life will be very private, but this is the preference of Pluto.

The Ascendant is not actually a House. It is an Angle and a very important angle. It is the beginning of the Wheel and defines the subsequent Houses, as explained previously in the area of the Ascendant. However, having close contact with either of the luminaries, or with one or more of the planets (via aspects), energizes this "point", and it dominates the character and outward personality even further.

Britney will project the Ascendant in a powerful way. This child will have a strong personality. A strong physical presence will be hard to miss. These children will like to be in the thick of anything that interests them. Britney will seldom be noted as an idle bystander. This child will be well able to stand on its own two feet and will be instrumental in helping others along the way too. There should be loads of energy - at least enough for two. Britney will be able to make decisions, and lead from the front and will probably gather quite a few followers along the way.

On the eventful journey through life, this little one will probably invest a lot in their many friends. They will contribute substantially to those with whom they mix, but will, in turn, learn a lot through interactions with others too. It would be unusual if this child turned out to be a "loner" or anti-social in any way. But it is very important that the Sign on the Ascendant is given close attention. If there are any negative aspects flowing to the Ascendant this could indicate strong lessons that have to be dealt with in the area of the personality.

The Strongest sign often coincides with that of the Sun in the Natal Chart because Mercury is the Sun's closest companion - they are never far apart. Venus also sticks quite closely to the mighty Sun, and to a lesser degree, Mars never strays too far away. So, one or more of these planets are often in the same sign as the Sun at birth adding further strength.

However, in many cases the "outer" planets can gang up and create a very strong, but quite a different, influence. This area of the Chart will either add more weight to the color and personality of this Child or it could add a further hue to their approach and intensity.

If there is more that one "strongest sign", which is likely, the person will have various facets to their approach and abilities, and so will scatter their energies somewhat. If there is one singleton sign, which outweighs the rest, Britney will be more easily recognized by the attributes of the sign involved.

One of the stronger signs in this Chart is Sagittarius, the Archer or the Centaur. This child will develop both physical and mental strength and also, stamina. Britney will always love to learn. These kids can make excellent teachers later because they like to share their knowledge and their expressive ways make them entertaining and easy to listen to. These kids can improve on the truth to add a bit more flavor to an experience or a story they are telling. This is not done in a menacing way - Britney will simply love to tell a good tale. Often a strong Sagittarius influence shows strongly in sports teams. Britney will be competitive, well coordinated, and will have the ability to encourage and drive team efforts. The attitude is also very fair.

Britney will probably love the outdoors, the wide-open spaces, and will be fond of all creatures great and small. Even as youngsters, these kids will really enjoy school camps or even family camping holidays where they can get in touch with nature. They relish the beauty of the planet, Earth, and the elusive wonders of the beyond. These kids can wear themselves out though as they will never admit that they are tired. They want to be on the go the whole time. There is just so much for them to see and do. These are generally very happy and contented kids; they see the best in everything. They are not usually petty and their optimism gives them a good outlook which is contagious. These kids are able to lift the low spirits of those around them, and if they cannot, they will move on. Britney will avoid moody people who try to dampen the atmosphere in any way.

This is the sign of the "traveler", and these children will be interested in different countries and different cultures. Britney will probably be keen to buy a backpack as soon as possible and head off the see the world. It will be to experience the world and its people rather than as the average tourist.

One of the strongest signs in this Chart is Libra, which is symbolized by the Scales. Libra is all about balance, harmony, and creating the most pleasant atmosphere possible. Britney will be friendly, affectionate, and usually very courteous. There will be a sort of charisma that makes this child the darling of their "elders". They do like to please, and they like to look good. This child will learn how to use this natural charm very effectively from a very young age. Britney will probably like cool clothes, designer labels and will take more care about the personal appearance than most. These children will want to have all the latest gimmicks as soon as they hit the shops.

This child will always prefer to be with another friend or in a group. They do need the assurances that they get from company. They draw strength from others and have a great need to share all that they have and know. The Libra personality sees itself as one half of a whole. They need company to feel complete.

These kids will be very fair and will always come out in defense of the underdog. They will always listen to both sides and assume the role (very well too) of the arbitrator. Libra also signifies justice; the child who has this sign so strong will be a sound judge and jury if the rules are broken, or if someone is getting hurt in an unfair process.

A problem that Britney will have though, is trying too hard to please. This child can struggle to make a real decision. It is often better to make the choices yourself if a quick decision is needed. These kids will weigh up all the pros and cons and either say "you decide", or else will want to take both options. This diplomat will bend over backwards to please and will work very hard not to offend.

Libra is often described as "lazy Libra". These children can take a long time to get motivated, but when they are committed to a task, they will hang in there for as long and as hard as it takes. However, these kids do seem to "stroll" rather than rush.

One of the strongest signs in this chart for Britney is the sign of Cancer, the crab. Cancerians can be a lot like the crab in the rock-pool. They will nestle under the sand where they can see what is going on, but feel safely "hidden". The crab has its house on its back, wanting nothing more than to stay just where they are - forever. Everything will be peaceful and content until someone puts a careless toe in the wrong place. And then the crab will make its presence felt, - no matter the size or might of the intruder. The crab will then scuttle away having been felt, but probably, not seen. The Cancerian influence is not aggressive, but it is crabby, it can nip, and it often omits to explain where it is coming from. The "fight" involves minimum confrontation but it can cause a heavy atmosphere. This is the "Cancerian" way of getting noticed. The Cancerian does tend to sulk. The Moon rules Cancer so the Moon phases will affect the temperament of this child in quite a big way. So, obviously, Britney can be very moody indeed. These little ones can change their mind and their opinions in an instant and then give no explanations as to why.

But Britney can be a psychic sponge soaking up the atmosphere. These kids respond through their emotions. They are very sensitive and will be easily hurt. Often their shell conceals their vulnerability. These kids will have a mind of their own and are well able to make their own decisions. They can seem to be quite tough. But in other ways, they can be quite clingy and dependent on others.

Often the Cancerian child will be interested in history, especially family history. They do like to be able to identify with their roots and their heritage. The little Cancerian is firmly attached to the home and very territorial - fiercely protective of the family environment and all those that are dear to them. This is the little Mother of the Zodiac who will like nothing better than looking after anyone that will let them.

Cancer rules the stomach, the digestion, and these kids can be real worriers that bottle up the feelings and hurts. And then end up with tummy cramps, or simply go right off their food altogether. But caring, listening and loving will be of enormous help to Britney in times of stress. A big warm cuddle will do wonders.

The Houses in the Natal Chart are very significant because they indicate the areas where we have been born lucky or where we have serious work to do. The Houses define the areas in life where we expend our energies, where we find recurring issues with which we have to deal.

The basic Natal Chart is simply the blueprint of the Heavens at the exact time of our birth. But in reading a child's chart, there is a different emphasis. Obviously a child "reflects" its everyday environment during the formative years and this Natal chart for Britney acknowledges these reflections. In the case of a child, many of the attitudes and habits are reflections of the up bringing and environmental influences. Often work needs to be done to reach out for the opposite House to achieve a fuller picture.

3rd House: This House is about early education. It is about mental stimulation that provokes learning through interaction and experience, and then using the lessons. The area for the child is the playground, playgroups, mixing with children the same age. It is about becoming familiar with the local environment and the neighbors. This is essentially the House that is all about communication at it best and its beginnings.

Britney has a lot of strength in the 3rd house. The 3rd House is all about early education, the local environment, brothers and sisters, and communications. It is the beginnings of 'standing on one's own feet'. It is the forming of opinions - getting to know people outside of the family home. It is discovering the mediums available that supply information, such as TV, Internet, telephones, newspapers, and using the good old vocal chords.

Within the home environment, Britney is likely to not only start talking early, but also, once started, may never stop. There will be a fair few arguments. This child loves a battle of wits, and sometimes being contrary is the best way to get the whole family talking. But guess who will always have the last word! And with age, this is likely to become a bit of a game, especially when it is assured of getting a reaction. These children will like to prove how smart they are and the best way they can do this is through their great word power.

Britney is bound to be very active in the local neighborhood. This child will enjoy participating in any social activities, but will especially love talking to anyone that will listen. This is the sort of child who can brighten up a lonely person's day just by being friendly. So, in all probability you will have quite a well-known entity in your midst.

This house is very concerned with speech, communications, and learning. A message to the child with such a strong 3rd House is to reach out to the opposite house, the 9th House, which involves higher learning. It is more about the big wide world. Perhaps the message is to use this gift of words to teach, to pass on what they have learned. It also suggests that this little one needs to learn to 'listen' rather than simply talk. It suggests a need for guidance and training to look deeper and not be content with superficial knowledge. And that way they will expand the ultimate learning and get recognition and respect for these natural talents.

2nd House: This House is about values and possessions. It is the "my things" attitude. It is where nourishment is needed to feel confident and secure. This House is about experiencing the sensual fundamentals in order to feel fulfilled and loved. This House puts a real value on tangible assets, and it is where real fears are born with respect to deprivation. It is also where we learn to provide for ourselves if we must. It is where we discover our "comfort zone".

The 2nd House is the "I wants" in the child, and we all know as parents that there are always plenty of those. Britney, with a strong showing in the second House, will have lots of wants and needs. There will seem to be an endless list of things that this child "simply must have". These kids will probably try to keep up with the Jones's from a very early age. They will also compete strongly for affection. Often there can be a rather selfish attitude because in order to feel good, these kids have to have plenty of things that they can call their own, and that includes a special love and bond from the parents. Often these kids feel that in sharing, they lose the lot, so they may have to be shown that sharing is a form of speculation and accumulation.

There is quite a fear of "change". Britney would like life to always stay the same. This little one will need to be guided into being less clingy and more independent. There is a need to learn that real security comes from within. It has little to do with possessions.

This is also the House of our hidden talents, so this, being such a "busy" area, could be very significant of gifts that need to be drawn out. Creativity, perhaps - music - or perhaps a garden plot of their very own, will add to the inner confidence and be a source of pride and pleasure.

A lesson for Britney with a powerful 2nd House would be to lean a little towards the opposite House, the 8th House in the Chart. Britney will need to learn that everything changes, and that is not the end of the world. There is a need to accept that every part of life needs air to grow and to thrive. These kids must widen their horizons and be more independent. Learn, look within for their sense of security, and let their confidence expand.

10th House: This House points to the dominant parent. That parent's attitude, expectations, and ambitions for the child are reflected here. Here is an indication of how the child deals with responsibility and with authority. An ambition to "be someone" or to be recognized in this life is associated with the powerful 10th House. The sweet smell and taste for power and success emerges from this very zenith of the natal chart.

Britney will have a strong set of objectives. This little one will set firm goals and will be quite selective with whom they mix. These children have such a strong sense of purpose that they will not take anyone seriously who does not have a sincere agenda.

Britney will have a natural respect for authority. Because the paternal figure is often indicated through this House, it is likely that the 'authoritative person' plays a major role in this child's life. Sometimes though, that 'figure' can apply quite a bit of pressure.

Often with activity in the 10th House there can be quite a lonely or hard childhood, especially if there are oppositions, (aspects - please check), that come from the 4th House. There will be a strong need for personal security. This is probably why these children figure out when young that the hard yards are needed to get results. Besides, they also figure that independence and knowledge is power, and that will be a key to the aspirations of this child. Britney will ultimately want a bit of power. That simply means being completely in charge of personal issues in life and their ultimate destiny. There can be a real need to 'prove'.

This little one does have to reach out to the opposite House, the 4th House and let their emotions flow, not feel afraid to show how they feel, not be quite so 'grown up' all the time. They will be as vulnerable as anyone else will, and they have to accept that we all hurt at times - and that's OK. We all have to cope with 'less than perfect'. That is quite normal. At some stage in their life, this child may have to put in some work coming to grips with a part of the childhood that they did not understand or quite accept.

The four elements figure strongly in the definition and interpretation of the signs. The dominant element(s) can help to identify the personality type quite successfully. In many cases, there will be a combination of more than one, which indicates more flexibility.

The Fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Fire is all about impatience, enthusiasm, and energy. These kids will want to be involved in everything possible - and well as "impossible", at times. There will be a passion for life. A dominant Sun, Mars, or Jupiter will add to the predominance of fire characteristics in this chart.

These children are high-spirited, energetic and impulsive. They can have very quick tempers. They can be domineering and can be argumentative, but will not usually hold a grudge unless there is a good and valid reason. Fire signs are a little like a tropical storm, - a cloudburst, and then glorious sunshine. And then these volatile youngsters will genuinely wonder why everyone around them can be left quite wounded.

Britney will be independent, self-willed and self-motivated. This child can be a handful and will certainly need some discipline, but this needs to be administered carefully. After a heavily emotional confrontation with a fire child, the best time to discuss the situation is when the energies have cooled down (parents have to be saints at times). Britney will no doubt argue, but if the timing is right, will take any reprimands on board - but - do not expect any admission of being wrong. This kid will never go that far.

If any authority figure cracks the whip and overwhelms this child with no explanation, they will simply react even stronger and louder. The fire will intensify. If Britney gets the feeling that adults always use power arbitrarily, without rules or accountability, it will make Britney a fighter against the authorities.

Britney will be open and forthright, preferring to act out in front where the world can see. If you encourage honesty you will get just that. It may be coupled with a brutal frankness and a seeming insensitivity, but this would seldom be intended. These kids just do not stop to think.

Britney could find it difficult to cry or show emotions because it will be difficult to admit that something is wrong. The aim will always be to appear so strong and independent. It is very important that these children do learn to expose their feelings more. But remember - the aim with the predominantly Fire child is to tame them - not to break the valuable spirit.

The Air signs are Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Air is considered quite intellectual, communicative, and friendly. These kids will be logical and will like to have a sense of freedom in all areas of life. Dominant Mercury or Uranus will add weight to the predominance of Air in this chart.

Air children are very quick and mentally active. They like getting around the place, meeting new people, seeing new places, and trying different things. Britney will need constant activity, and constant stimulation, because there is a tendency to get bored quite easily. These kids are innovative. They like to stretch the imagination. They will make up new themes to old ideas, change the rules to make the same old games "different" - in fact they will be right into anything that is fresh and new. Britney will enjoy study, usually like to read, and if all else fails, will just like to talk. The strongest talent is the ability to think and reason clearly and objectively. These kids do not let their emotions take control and distort the thinking. And there is usually evidence of a good, strong sense of humor. An abundance of Air can be rather out of touch with feelings and emotions, because they simply do not think "emotional". This can bewilder them at times. These kids can be out of touch with themselves so when logic fails them, they simply do not understand.

It is so important that the parents of air children train them to express the feelings and emotions freely. Britney should be encouraged to explore the imagination. Air people are very good at communicating and are good at influencing others by putting forward a strong argument. A parent should be aware of this ability to sway people, because these kids are convincing and manipulative in a clever way.

When an element is "lacking", it can indicate a need to encourage the essentials of this "lack", to help round the character off a little. This often happens over time anyway, quite naturally. But watch Britney and you will see if any building needs to be done.

But rather than see this as a "weakness", it is preferable to accept that one or more of the other elements comes through more strongly. The apparent "lack" can also be compensated within the chart anyway. It only needs one powerful aspect to add some weight.

The absence of Water in the chart for Britney suggests that there may be some difficulty understanding the deeper meanings of issues. This little one could be a little lacking in emotional intensity. This is not to say that Britney will have no feelings, but it does mean that the emotions are not overly exposed and really do not run deep. These kids are not so apt to form extremely close friendships or relationships where they may feel smothered or threatened by strong emotional demands. They recover quickly from emotional bumps and scrapes. They never let disappointments get them down. So, depression is never likely to be a problem.

Many of the aspects of not having water signs are positive. But on the negative side, Britney should guard against becoming rather callous and cold. These kids can give the impression of being detached and unfeeling. Intuitive skills are not readily available to those with few planets in Water signs. This will not be a major problem because these types are not particularly interested in the realms of intuition or whatever. They do not trust intuitive knowledge anyway.

A lack of the Earth element in this chart suggests that this child may have some difficulties dealing with practical and mundane issues. In fact, it may be said that they are not really at home on the planet Earth. Britney may seem to be somehow lost in space and unable to get the feet on the ground. Because of this, these kids may reject responsibility. They can have trouble getting organized and following through on a task. Often there can be a childish inability to handle boring, but necessary tasks. Britney could be one of those kids who need help to accomplish the simplest chore. Material matters and money may be secondary concerns. These types may not be particularly interested in earthly possessions or any sort of material gain. Sometimes expressing a compulsive trait toward neatness and detail compensates for the absence of the Earth element. Or, perhaps the compensation comes through as a major concern for organization.

More often, the absence of earth signs means good old-fashioned common sense may not be a strong suit. Britney should be encouraged to spend time outdoors with nature, to get in touch with the basic practicalities of life, and to learn to be more accountable and to take responsibility.

The "Modes" or the "Qualities" often indicate how we initiate our actions. The Cardinal types are firm, confident, and are better starters than they are finishers. The Fixed types are quite reluctant to step outside of the comfort zone. They prefer to stay with the tried and true. The Mutable people are flexible and adaptable but they can be flimsy.

Britney will either try to find a way around a problem or will give way in the face of the attack. This quality of mutability is not a weakness, because although these kids do bend like a reed in the wind, they do manage to survive and persist. Britney will believe in flowing with the energies of the surrounding environment. These kids can adapt to the characteristics of the current company. Nevertheless, these children have a core of inner truth that enables them to make quite a subtle impact on those around them. By appearing to give way, these kids can sometimes be quite manipulative.

The mutable signs except Virgo are known as dual or two-bodied signs (meaning that they have two distinct sides). This reflects the mutable person's ability to have more than one facet. Britney will actually thrive in unstable and changing circumstances. These kids are able to grab what they need and adapt very quickly to new conditions. In fact, often boredom will set in if the situation is not constantly changing. With all of this adaptability, however, Britney can be rather devious at times. It is hard to pin these types down to a definite course of action or a commitment. They feel that such commitment limits the freedom. Not being forthright can be a major problem, except possibly with Sagittarius.

As adults, we look back on our youth and say, "if only I knew then what I know now". How many of us also, as we get older, "discover" a talent that has never been recognized and say "if only". If this Chart report simply indicates a talent that can be nurtured early in life, as opposed to laying dormant for too long a time, or forever, then the author's objective has been reached.
