Alright, let’s talk about ascendants in astrology and how they relate to, well, everything but your children.
You see, your ascendant is kind of like your astrological “first impression.” It’s the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the moment you were born. Imagine it like this: the sunrise is the doorway to the day, and your ascendant is the sign that steps through that doorway.
It’s not about your kids. That’s not what it’s about at all! So, no, your ascendant doesn’t determine how many kids you’ll have, how they’ll turn out, or even if you’ll have any kids at all.
Now, if we’re talking about your child’s astrological chart, that’s a whole different story. Their birth chart is their own unique cosmic portrait, a snapshot of the universe at the moment they came into the world. Their ascendant is what shapes how they interact with the world and how others see them. It’s their own unique energy, their own individual “first impression.”
Think about it this way. Your sun sign is like your core, your fundamental personality. Your moon sign, that’s your secret mushy center, your emotional depths. And your ascendant, well, that’s how you present yourself to the world.
Let’s say your child’s ascendant is in Leo. They might come across as charismatic, confident, and dramatic. A child with a Taurus ascendant might be more grounded, patient, and sensual. You get the idea.
So, where do we look for clues about your children in your astrological chart? The answer is the 5th house. The 5th house is all about creativity, self-expression, and yep, you guessed it – children.
Now, let’s get into some more specifics:
Looking at the 5th house:
Planets in the 5th House:
Jupiter: This planet is associated with luck and expansion, so if it’s in your 5th house, you might have multiple children or a large family.
Venus: This planet is associated with love and pleasure, so if it’s in your 5th house, you might have a strong desire to have children and enjoy being a parent.
Moon: This planet is associated with emotions and nurturing, so if it’s in your 5th house, you might be very attached to your children and have a strong maternal or paternal instinct.
Understanding your child’s individual chart:
D7 Chart (Saptamsa Chart): If you really want to get into the nitty-gritty of your child’s personality and their relationship with you, the D7 chart is your go-to. This special chart helps astrologers understand the nature of the first, second, and subsequent children in a family. In the D7 chart, the 5th house reveals insights about the first child, the 7th house about the second, and so on.
So, while your ascendant doesn’t have anything to do with your children, your astrological chart still holds a ton of information about your potential for parenthood and what kind of parent you might be. And remember, your child’s chart is their own unique story, waiting to be explored.
Let me know if you have any questions about your own chart or your child’s!
