Each person is born at a special time, on a certain day and place. Astrologers use this information to chart the positions of the planets relative to the date, time and place of birth. This chart, or horoscope, provides an invaluable and exceptional view of the potentials, drives and needs for Harley. This is the “cosmic guidebook” for each individual! The patterns of the planets, Sun and Moon are unique and notable for a developing child, since in childhood these pictures are seen in a different light. Children are changing rapidly, and, in the process of becoming themselves, need special love and guidance. Developmental Astrology incorporates the basic concepts of astrology within the framework of the early years of life.

This astrological report can be used as a guidepost, and provides a few hints and insights into the unique qualities of this child. Please remember that everyone -- including a child -- has free will.

qualities -- known as cardinal, fixed and mutable -have special meanings in astrology. Each sign of the zodiac correlates with one of three modes of action.

With an emphasis on Cardinal energy, Harley likes to get things going! Cardinal energy is motivational.

Much like the ignition of an automobile, the principle of cardinality is required to get things started.

Initiative, assertiveness, ambition and independence are all cardinal qualities. The negative traits of impatience and restlessness can be strong, especially if Harley is bored! And, Harley is likely to have a strong desire to act without outside guidance.

In summary, if an element or mode is low or lacking, there’s no reason to be highly concerned, but you can find creative ways to help Harley compensate.

Focusing on what the lack of any mode or element might mean for the child can prove beneficial, although this should not be interpreted as an actual “personality deficiency�.

Beyond education and development of the intellect in a more formal sense, Mercury plays an important role in self-expression. After all, this is the energy of linking ideas and concepts from the inner self to the outside world -- and back again! One of the creative influences of Mercury in Cancer can be developed in the early years by encouraging artistic play with yarn and fabrics.
