Planet Aspects - 2

The External Planets: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

The major planets outside the Earth's orbit (external to us) are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. These are the planets describing the outer world and circumstances surrounding the child, the status, well-being and conditions he is born into and what urges him on to greater achievements as he grows. Mars will tune you in to what motivates your child and the way he approaches life. Jupiter shows us how he is most apt to channel that energy, and Saturn decrees what sort of obstacles will confront him on the road to success. Again: Saturn tells us about the territory we will be going through, Jupiter the way or path through it, and Mars what kind of push or drive we can count on to keep going.

Mars: Drive and Emotions

Mars is the planet of emotion and drive. When we search for the meaning of something, it is Mars that urges us on, keeps us searching. Mars will tell us what motivates our child, what captures his interest. By studying the aspects formed between Mars and other planets we discern if our child expresses desire in a healthy and direct manner or whether he feels blocked (squares) by inner or outer conditions. We also learn how our child expresses anger, whether in strong bursts (Mars in Fire Signs), bottled up and tears (Mars in Water Signs) or with cutting words (Air signs). With greater understanding we can help our child deal with his feelings in a constructive way. Mars tells us about our child's interest and aptitude (or lack of it), for physical exercises, sports, recreation. Mars drives us against things, too, and sends us into war and combat. Mars imparts courage and stamina. The house position of Mars in the child's chart will tell us in what area of life he is likely to enter the greatest degree of active conflict or activity: In the 11th, with friends, in the 3rd, perhaps with sisters and brothers, or in competitive learning at school.

Mars in Scorpio

Scorpio is a Water sign on the feeling cross. Its symbols are The Scorpion, The Phoenix and The Eagle. The child with Mars in Scorpio possesses a powerful, persistent drive. He can be a hard, steady worker at work and at play. He tends to be thorough. Others may describe him as intense, or as one with a sense of mission and mystery. He stands behind his beliefs with staunch conviction. Once he fixes his mind on a goal, its not easy to get him to change his course. He can be unflinchingly stubborn! Nevertheless, he tends to carry on his work with unwavering determination to succeed.

The child with Mars in Scorpio likes to probe, investigate, get beyond the surface to the deeper meaning of life. Microscopes, telescopes, detective stories, mystery novels and occult literature may appeal to him as well as checkers, chess and other games which depend on strategies. He is interested in what motivates other people and may be unusually perceptive. (This position favors police and detective work, psychiatric counseling and research, politics and market analysis.) Because he tunes into people's psychology, he could be manipulative, knowing just what buttons will get the desired effect! Make the rules of your household plain and easy to follow and then carry them forward with consistency, but never with violence!

Children with Mars in Scorpio often have musical talent which should be developed, as musical expression helps them express their deeply experienced emotions. Sometimes, children with this placement seek a perfectionism that is unrealistic and if they fall short of the mark, swing to the other extreme in a false passivity. Help your child see the middle way! Teach your child to seek above all a perfection of the heart. With good training, the rest will follow.

It's important to establish good communication with your child. He is extremely sensitive and is capable of reacting strongly to an (perceived) unkind comment or hurt. He may tend to hold in and suppress his true feelings. Outwardly, he wears a calm mask while inside he may be seething. When the volcano of suppressed emotions finally erupts, others could be bewildered. Let your child know he can trust you. Help him learn to let go of past hurts and move on.

In Scorpio, we can go to the lowest of the low (the Scorpion with its deadly sting) or the highest of spiritual heights (the Eagle). With his action planet in this powerful sign, your child's rule of thumb could well be, "RIGHT REASON, RIGHT MOTIVE, RIGHT CAUSE." Wrongly motivated, the Mars in Scorpio individual can be selfish, possessive, and even cruel. Yet when he sees clearly, he can be loyal, courageous, kind and a true warrior of the spirit! He is capable of great inner strength. Your child needs a solid foundation of firm values and principles during the growing up years.

Mars Trine Jupiter

This aspect is a very fortunate influence in the chart, and is conducive to success in enterprises. Your child is likely to be enthusiastic and energetic in action. When he is motivated to do something, he probably goes after it in a big way! Others remark on his creative energy, great drive, and the fact that he never seems to let up! Children with this positive Mars/Jupiter contact are prompted to help people solve their problems. They particularly like to lend a hand to those in trouble or less fortunate circumstances. When personal problems arise, your child is not afraid to tackle them. This aspect often points to a love of adventure, sport and travel. It favors careers in law, social work and psychology, education (or training others), religion (especially preaching) and publishing.

Jupiter: Career and Life Path

The Hindu word for Jupiter is Guru. Jupiter is the guru and guide, the way we go through life, our life path and personal philosophy. Our first teachers and guides are usually our parents. Then there are our school teachers, ministers, and other significant adults who enter our life and guide us. Jupiter is the body of knowledge and wisdom made available to us, our method for dealing with the laws of life, our Saturn, or limitations. Saturn represents the father, structure, rules of behavior and social norms we must learn to abide by. Jupiter is the light or path. Jupiter rules religion, philosophy, culture, travel, history; how we expand our horizons, our philosophy of life. It has always been an indicator of how successful we may be, our vocation. In the child's chart, we look to Jupiter for clues as to how our child seeks to know more about life, what appeals to him, and where he may need to pull in the reins and balance exploration (Jupiter) with greater discipline (Saturn). A child with Jupiter in the 1st house in Aries, for example, will jump to the occasion for a trip, an experience to broaden his horizons and self-understanding but will need to find the balance between opportunities for growth and responsibilities (Saturn).

Jupiter in Cancer

Jupiter is said to be exalted in Cancer. If free of major affliction, Jupiter in Cancer usually points to a happy home environment. Generally, the mother is sincerely interested in the child's welfare and takes the time to instill in the child right religious and moral values. The family may be well educated. The philosophy of life established in childhood may be carried into adult life. As an adult, your child's home may be a center of educational, philosophical and religious activities.

Cancer relates to the home and to the stomach. Your child may enjoy cooking almost as much as he likes eating! But his eye may be bigger than his stomach! Or his tendency might be to eat what looks good rather than what is necessarily good for him.

Therefore, it's important to teach him sensible eating habits from early childhood. A career in big business is possible for your child later on, for he likes broad, secure foundations. This placement also favors careers in real estate, farming, food production, schooling and home appliances.

The child with Jupiter in Cancer tends to be supportive and nurturing toward family and friends. Generally, children with their opportunity planet in the sign of mother like to help out at home. Your child's sense of family could embrace the community. As an adult, he could take an active role in community affairs.

Moon Conjunction Jupiter

Even as a baby, everyone knows that your child is a "people person!" he has a winning smile and people take to him right away! By nature, your child is trusting and affectionate. His ability to counsel others is excellent, and others may come to him for advice. A born leader, his buddies find it easy to follow his example. Enthusiasm and creativity mark his character! He may enjoy helping others solve their problems. Be patient as you teach him to discipline his boundless exuberance! He needs to learn good moral habits as well as common sense and self-discipline! Give him loads of love, but please don't over-indulge him!

Mars Trine Jupiter

Your child is a great doer, an accomplisher. His outgoing nature, coupled with extremely skillful ways of handling other people, make him a natural for working with or for audiences. He is likely to be popular in school, and may organize many social events. Your child would make an excellent teacher or coach, and helping others to make important (career) decisions is a skill that will blossom as he grows. He has plenty of drive and may excel at sports. He may tend to overdo things: overspend, overeat, overplan (such as in inviting 10 more children than you've room for to his birthday party!) Teach him to be economical with time, energy and funds. This aspect is considered to be a positive and protective influence!

Saturn: Responsibilities

Saturn rules the laws and limitations of this material world we all live in. Saturn indicates where we are bound to learn, the narrowness that makes our way felt, the walls that make homes possible. Saturn holds us together as much as apart. Saturn represents the law and is said to be the Great Teacher. Saturn defines and clarifies. Saturn represents the reality of life in the physical universe. We understand how vital it is that our children learn to accept responsibility, maintain their environment in order, finish homework and projects on time, learn how to delay gratification. Hopefully, they learn as they grow how to turn mistakes into lessons, obstacles into stepping stones to success. Saturn represents the father or dominant parent, all adults whom the child looks up to as authorities. Saturn represents the law of the land we're born into, the family rules and traditions and our own innate or developed sense of fairness. Saturnian qualities are rarely self-evident in the small child. Children have to learn self-discipline, order, patience, obedience. This they do in cycles of time. Saturn represents the process of maturity, the outlines for growth presented to us by our teachers and our inner biological clock. Saturn by sign, house, aspect and Saturn cycles in your child's chart and in your own provide a wonderful blueprint whose design you can follow to help your children grow to be successful in this world.

Saturn in Gemini

Your child takes communication seriously! This position confers mental discipline and logic. He is a born problem solver! This placement confers ability to organize details systematically and is common in the charts of secretaries, researchers, writers, lecturers, teachers, scientists, engineers and technicians. Your child may enjoy math and science and would likely benefit from extended formal study. His interests are likely to be broad and varied. Especially is Mercury is well aspected, he is likely to be articulate, with a sharp tongue and shrewd mind. With afflictions, basic communication skills may need to be acquired, there may be a negative bent to the mind, the child may experience difficulties with teachers, knowledge may be plentiful but superficial. Others may interpret Saturn in Gemini's natural inclination to observe and make objective comments as coldly critical. Show your child how to implement learning in practical ways. Teach him the difference between surface knowledge and applied wisdom. The life of the English statesman and saint, Sir Thomas More provide an unforgettable example of this principle. An older brother or sister may play an important role in your child's life.

Sun Opposition Saturn

Not an easy placement, your child will have to discover how to balance self-expression in the face of perhaps heavy responsibilities or limitations (such as an absent father). Your child likely has an innate sense of duty, but he needs to cultivate a strong self-esteem and a positive mental attitude. Those in authority, possibly parents or teachers may in some way challenge or oppose him and thus (perhaps inadvertently) hold him back. To fulfill his goals, your child needs to learn organization and careful planning as a child. His personal self-discipline, or lack thereof, may be the plus or minus factor for later success. A certain seriousness will pay off better later in life, but may result in his feeling lonely at times as a child. The Sun/Saturn child needs to feel bonded to the father. If the father is not present, a substitute male influence may be advisable.

Mercury Opposition Saturn

Mental organization and self-discipline is the key to mastering this aspect. Study the signs in polarity to understand the nature of this opposition. If in mutable signs (Gemini/Sagittarius or Virgo/Pisces) good study habits need to be developed at an early age to keep the mind from wandering. Tasks begun must be finished lest 10 be going simultaneously and not a one completed! Talking back and endless chatter best be discouraged. If in cardinal signs (Aries/Libra), help him acquire self-control over the mind and mouth. With Cancer/Capricorn, overcoming shyness may be in order. Condemnation from parents would affect him (negatively) deeply. If in fixed signs (Taurus/Scorpio or Leo/Aquarius) concentration may be great but mental willfulness may get in the way of communication with teachers and parents. Your child might be quite smart, but is he willing to listen to someone else's opinion? You may find it hard convincing him that he doesn't have all the answers all the time! Teach him to look at the brighter side of life. Your child could have real mental acumen and even become a teacher and/or specialist in his field.

Venus Opposition Saturn

Your child is likely to be a loyal friend and child. Love is taken seriously, there is a sense of responsibility, perhaps honor. Sometimes, the opposition indicates separation from one of the parents. Your child needs large doses of affection during childhood but also could probably benefit by learning not to take every relationship so-so seriously! Your child may be better at spotting his own faults than pointing out his virtues. He needs a healthy strong self-esteem lest he feel unworthy. Your child could feel burdened by excessive responsibilities (for example, being put in charge of a younger child). Sometimes, the child with this opposition is reluctant to abide by the rules and prefers to live in disorder ( a messy room) rather than submit to outside regulation. At different times in his life, his particular value system could manage to bring him into conflict with others, especially those in authority. If he persists in ignoring his responsibilities, and if he lets his obligations pile up, a confrontation may be inevitable.

The Outer Planets

In the previous sections, we have dealt with planets that we can see with our naked eyes. In general, these planets refer to life as we know and live it and are the so-called inner planets. Beyond these are three planets that are not visible in the sky and which have cycles longer than the average human life span. Since they are beyond Saturn or time, astrologers call them the trans-personal or transcendental planets - Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Here you will find information on issues and attitudes typical of your child's generation. Uranus represents the sense of discovery, new frontiers, revolutions and consequent changes we make. Neptune reveals how we understand and accept these discoveries, our understanding of mystical and/or inner realities, the expression of devotion and compassion. Pluto points to the great challenges confronting ourselves and our civilization. How can we best prepare our children to meet these challenges? To fulfill their fiery destiny individually and collectively? To stand firm amidst the winds of change? To reach out for worlds beyond the physical? To feel secure in their relationship to God? For most of us, the challenges increase as we mature but certainly the foundation is set in childhood!

Uranus: Break-Throughs & Insights

Uranus is the planet that indicates how we free ourselves from the difficulties and problems life presents us. Uranus represents our link to the higher mind, Universal Intelligence. Here is the way insights come to us, how we discover or come to know and understand ourselves. Uranian energy shows us how to find new uses for old things. It rules inventions and sudden insights into our life - everything that is unusual, eccentric, and out of the ordinary. Uranus is, in many ways, the opposite, or undoing of Saturn. We look to Uranus in the child's chart to understand his personal sense of uniqueness, where he dares to be different. Uranus also may reveal individual genius, talent, interests. With hard aspects, or if Uranus is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th houses, we may have to deal with willfulness and/or rebelliousness in the child, or he may perceive himself as somehow different from the rest. Parents and teachers can help the child with strong Uranian aspects by providing him with avenues for individual expression and creativity, and by recognizing his natural bent to experiment with new ways of doing things. At the same time, the child needs to learn that there is no true freedom without accountability. Be consistent in applying the rules. He needs to know the consequences of his use of free will.

Uranus in Gemini

The Uranus in Gemini subgeneration born in the forties brought us brilliant insights into communications of all kinds - computers, radio, T.V., the press, writing, and speaking. As a group, they are exceptionally inventive and also have deep insights into research and investigations. They can turn around our way of thinking. The child with Uranus in Gemini may love to read, travel, brainstorm. He may be restless. There may be something unusual about a brother or sister. Especially when Uranus aspects personal planets (in particular, Mercury and/or Mars), the Uranus in Gemini child is apt to be quite fidgety. Your child may need to work hard at acquiring the stability to finish what he begins. It's important that he finish his education.

Sun Opposition Uranus

Let me do it MY way! Sound familiar? Well, your child may not accept neither limits nor directions without challenging them!
he might see himself as marching to a different drumbeat! This position may indicate unusual talents, scientific know-how, or even genius but is best aspected by other traits stabilizing an otherwise erratic or unstable personality. Your child could benefit from periods of quiet, learning to relax. It is vital that you be consistent with this child. Conflicts with teachers, authorities and classmates come from a justification of nonconformity. Your child may be attracted to friends (and later partners) who are somehow different, with off-beat lifestyles.

Moon Sextile Uranus

Does your child march at a different beat? He may be an inventor, a real thinker, with a marked sense of his own uniqueness. Your child may attract friends that are scientific, "off-beat", and from all backgrounds. Perhaps he has a twinkle in his eye, an effervescent personality. Your child will ask for space to do it "my way." Its important that he learn as a child the consequences of the choices he makes and the difference between independence and rebelliousness. Your child may be a computer whiz or have a natural sense of electronics. He probably will ask for his own room. The mother may be eccentric, unique or innovative. When your child is older, he may seek new and different ways to make a living. He could have a unique angle on ecological and environmental issues, and is interested in larger or group concerns. He may have new ideas about the past, about history, and the role of the youth. Your child finds it easy to create an unusual environment, and enjoys surrounding himself with what is new and different.

Mercury Opposition Uranus

No one doubts that your child has a sharp mind! He probably picks up quickly on technological, mathematic and scientific studies. You may discover that your child doesn't mind rocking the boat and tact and diplomacy are arts he best acquire early on! While he tends to be a free-thinker, he might also express radical or rebellious thinking. Unless other positions in the chart indicate otherwise, your child might have trouble sticking to the subject at hand at school especially if he doesn't find it particularly stimulating. He may be somewhat nervous and if so would benefit form non-mental work or work with the hands to steady the mind. This aspect favors achievements in education, writing, computers, science, social reform, also electronics and electrical engineering. Occasionally, this opposition will manifest as an avoidance of the novel and unorthodox.

Venus Opposition Uranus

When he is older, your child may enjoy the company of "off-beat" or artistically inclined friends. Of course, this is fine if not carried to an extreme! Depending on the rest of the chart, your child is likely to demand lots of room in any close commitment. You can help him make the social adjustments suggested by this quincunx by stressing the nature of sharing and responsibility in partnerships and by your own example. He may be emotionally willful, requiring plenty of patience on your part. He needs reasonable room to roam, its true, but also needs to know how to pull in the reins on impulsive desires. One way you can help him practice self-discipline in childhood is by providing him with a balanced diet. He may be impulsive with money and may require early training in this area.

Saturn Conjunction Uranus

A natural leader, your child seeks independence but is willing to shoulder responsibility as well. Your child has an innate knack of taking the best of the traditional and new frontiers as well. He is likely to excel at science and math, computers and hi-tech. Your child likes associating with friends and adults who are rugged but individualistic. You may want to teach him survival skills, hiking. Your child may need sports or some other outlet to relax. There's a lot of creative tension in this combination. Saturn represents the father. With other hard aspects to either Saturn or Uranus, we might see willfulness or conflict with the values of authorities. Your child could be quite restless, especially during his teens. At about age 30, he is apt to settle down.

Neptune: Ideals & Imagination

Neptune provides the key for unlocking our child's imagination! Neptune represents the bridge to worlds we cannot see. Neptune, then, tells us about the child's need for worship, adoration, devotion. Neptune relates to music and the arts and is prominent in the charts of many creative people. Being an outer planet, Neptune also paints a picture of the collective dreams of our child's generation, dreams which may build upon, alter or even challenge our own. Neptune's influence tends to be subtle, often affecting us on subconscious levels. If afflicted, Neptune can indicate areas where the child may feel confused, uncertain or fearful. Read Neptune by sign, house and aspect but realize that your child may not consciously be aware of Neptune's influence until he reaches adulthood.

Neptune in Libra

Ah, the love generation! Neptune illumines, yet Neptune confuses, and oh, how many new approaches to intimacy popped as a bubble in the laboratory of everyday life! This group yearns for the perfect love. They are seldom bound by tradition or personal ties and are not particularly domestically inclined. New forms of art, changes in the legal system, drugs and rock music tie into Neptune's transit in this sign. Many single parents of today's elementary and teen age children were born with Neptune in Libra.

Sun Sextile Neptune

Your child may have a natural ability to grasp spiritual and visionary matters and to put them to work. He can perform with the imagination and capture metaphysical thoughts like others work with durable things. Much of his own self-image is wrapped up with his ability to work with images dreams and the imagination. He would make a good teacher in areas of music, philosophy, and all that is mystical. This aspect is favorable for a career in entertainment.

Moon Sextile Neptune

Children born with this creative aspect often have a built-in sense of how to make other people happy. Your child is likely to be imaginative and sensitive to the moods of others. He picks up easily on other people's vibrations and could be kind and compassionate. On the other hand, your child may need to learn not to let others take advantage of his good nature. He may need help separating his dreams from reality. Your child may have artistic or musical talent, or enjoy listening to music. He might benefit from art, ballet, drama or music classes - some art form combining creativity and discipline. He is likely to feel close to his mother and relatives.

Mercury Sextile Neptune

Your child has a way with words and ideas. Your child creates mental tapestries and conveys them in a way that captures the attention of others. Your child loves a good story, especially those dealing with great heroes, colorful Biblical tales, mythology, and romantic legends such as that of King Arthur and His Knights! The danger is that the mind can be impressionable to a fault. Your child would make an excellent teacher of philosophy or religion, for he can't help but communicate these subjects and enchant all who come to know him. Your child might have literary or artistic talent. Although he has a rich imagination, your child needs to develop mental self-discipline to avoid daydreaming, especially at school! Your child would make a good director, for he likes working with mental images. Your child is devotional and understanding. He may be particularly devoted to a younger brother or sister.

Saturn Trine Neptune

Here is the ability to ground and make spiritual ideas a practical matter, bringing them down to Earth and into everyday life. Your child could have great discipline when it comes to working with spirituality and unity - whatever binds or links all of us together. As he matures, he may be inspired to teach and show others these realms. No pie-in-the-sky for him. He grasps the principles that bind things together, the essentials of a practical religion, a down-to-Earth mysticism. One of the parents (usually the father) influences the child along religious or philosophical lines. Your child carries on the tradition. This is the aspect of a "problem-solver." If Mercury is well aspected, the child may have marked writing ability.

Uranus Trine Neptune

This positive aspect confers insight and vision into what unites people and into the dreams and mystical regions of our mind. Your child likely has an innate capacity for communicating with others, especially when it comes to religion, music and the arts. New paths to world or personal unity may be a major interest, and your child may astound you with his insights as to how to make his dreams real. If Venus is well aspected, he may have a vivid imagination and marked artistic talent. He probably enjoys movies, music and theater.

Pluto: Inner Change and Growth

Pluto is the planet of profound change, of generation and regeneration. Pluto often touches upon the most sensitive psychological areas within us. Once touched, we have no choice but to change and grow. If Pluto aspects a personal planet in your child's chart, he will experience an intense desire for self-transformation on some level of his being. Pluto contacts often teach us through intense experiences. We feel as if we've lived several lifetimes in one! The struggle of our century with nuclear power is a plutonian issue. Will this intense power be used as a dynamo of life or to devastate life? Stress the positive, be ready to help your child navigate through intense emotions he may feel, but not necessarily comprehend. Teach him to express this power wisely.

Pluto in Leo

Leo is a sign of power and leadership. When Pluto entered Leo, it ushered in WW II, dictatorships and the atomic bomb! Leo is a sign of expressing love. The Pluto in Leo generation struggled with the question of intimacy, the giving and receiving of love. Collectively, they tend to be very sensitive (even vulnerable) when it comes to self-expression. Periods of intense creativity enable the Pluto in Leo individual to go through changes and inner growth. This creative intensity is good for music, poetry, art, and such. If afflicted, anger and pride could lead to a tendency to engage in power struggles. There may be a conflict with the father.

Sun Trine Pluto

Check and see if other elements of the chart point to leadership, for this position if often found in the charts of those who make a significant impact in the lives of others. Your child may go through periods of incredible change and transformation during his life. He is a natural detective and analyst, psychologist and fact finder, and enjoys getting beneath the surface. See to it that your child is challenged intellectually at school and has opportunities to take the lead.

Moon Conjunction Pluto

Your child is likely to feel a close emotional bonding to his mother. He tends to be highly emotional (especially if the Moon and Pluto are in Scorpio) and will have to learn how to make his sensitivity work for him instead of against him. Even as a child, he is capable of tuning into other people's motivations and this may even frighten him or cause him to withdraw from certain adults. As an adult, he may be interested in psychology, strategy, military affairs, science or medicine. He needs to establish a relationship of trust with parents and teachers before he will open up and talk about his feelings. He needs to feel in control of the environment, but doesn't like to be controlled by others. Your child needs firm, consistent care but would withdraw or rebel against adults perceived as harsh and overbearing. In a group (friends, school), others take note of your child, because he likely has a powerful presence. Others may feel that nothing is a secret from him! You might as well stock up on those mystery novels now! As an adult, your child may wield political influence or handle other people's money.

Mercury Trine Pluto

When it comes to mental work, you may find out that your child has a natural gift for research and investigation. He enjoys examining and analyzing, in particular when it comes to psychological and sensitive areas of the mind. Math, writing and the sciences may appeal to him. Watch for a natural know-how in sifting through difficult material and coming up with what is essential every time! Your child likes to discuss and communicate, especially at a very personal level. Others may find your child just too intense.

Venus Trine Pluto

Your child may have exceptional artistic talent. Study Venus by house and sign to understand in what area of life your child will seek creative expression. (In the 1st, in dress and appearance; in the 2nd, with money and beautiful things; in the third, in speech and mannerisms, etc.) he also may have a deep understanding of other people and may be attracted to fields dealing with psychology when he grows up. Your child learns a lot about himself through relationships he forms throughout his life. Some of these may be on the intense side, but even as your child learns about himself, others may feel transformed through contact with him! Some children with this powerful trine between Venus (art, beauty, attraction, money) and Pluto (the masses, television, intense emotions) could do well in business careers, modeling, television, movie careers or in politics.

Saturn Sextile Pluto

With this aspect, parents (especially the father) strengthen the child's innate sense of integrity and self-discipline. (Check Saturn/Sun, Saturn/Moon aspects and the nature of the aspect between the Sun and Moon for confirmation). Your child needs challenges true to his ability. He enjoys working hard toward a goal. He may have a sense of mission (you may pick up clues during childhood - listen well!) Generally, this aspect confers managerial ability and a degree of aptitude for leadership. Research, science, law, and government are also favored.

Uranus Sextile Pluto

Your child may be a whiz when it comes to knowing how to motivate others. His keen mind and great analytical powers always manage to get at whatever motivation is beyond apparent behavior. If Uranus and Pluto aspect personal planets as well, your child could be inventive, clever, insightful. This is a generational aspect, indicative of a group who live through tremendous upheaval, not without ultimate benefits!
