What does your child’s birth chart actually tell you—and what are you reading way too much into?
In this episode, I sit down with professional astrologer and Cosmic Academy of Astrology graduate Amanda MacGillivray (founder of Birth of You) to talk about one of the most emotionally charged topics in astrology: reading charts for your kids.
We cover the four key placements every parent should understand—the Moon, the 4th house and IC, Mercury, and the Nodes—and how to use this information as a quiet guide for nurturing your child’s unique design, without micromanaging their fate or spiraling into fear.
Whether you’ve been terrified by your child’s Scorpio Moon, confused by a challenging 4th house, or just want to understand your child’s learning style and emotional needs more deeply, this conversation will bring you back to earth and give you practical tools you can actually use.

this was intense for me to watch considering what happened with my personal astrology when I was a child by my middle school teacher and yes, I am planning on finishing up the kiddos sidereal astrology chart tonight at some point for sure. I am very mindful of all the angles she was talking about in the video about this. If you notice I add inner work suggestions to think about within the chart about areas to either strengthen or to help create a bit more constructive habit, etc. without being too invasive. Unlike the experience I had when I was a kid with it. And when they are able to comprehend it a bit more they can delve in on it more personally for their own inner work on their own a bit more. Especially if they have seen the benefits of the knowledge and how it can help them. Especially if they have some tricky astrology (I have seen pretty tricky astrology at times in both my tropical and my sidereal chart) 🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿
I am just about done with the chart to an extent but I have a bit of a ways to go. Inline initially hit a lot of nails on the head in the charts to be quite accurate. Even based on what I have seen so far in snipets but I know there is probably way more than that.🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿🧿
