You & Them

Nobody raises a child alone in the chart

There are two signs in every difficult evening, and only one of them is small. Your own chart decides what you reach for first: whether you hurry or wait, explain or decide, hold or give room. Put your sign beside theirs and most of what happens at bathtime stops being a mystery.

Find your sign below. Inside each reading you will find yourself with a child of every one of the twelve, because the pair is the real subject here, not the person.

Fire parents

Fire children move first and think on the way.

Earth parents

Earth children trust what they can hold.

Air parents

Air children live one question ahead of the answer.

Water parents

Water children read the room before they read you.

Reading a pair properly

The two Suns tell you the shape of the weather. The elements tell you the speed of it: fire and air quicken each other, earth and water settle each other, and a mixed pair asks one of you to move at a pace that is not your own. That is not a fault in either chart. It is the work the pair was given.

When a pairing keeps grinding in the same place at the same hour, the answer is usually in the Moon rather than the Sun. The Moon carries what you both reach for when the day has taken everything else.
