Okay the next two charts are for Alexxa and Amaya, born 4 days apart on opposite coasts! They are very similar so I will delineate them together and show where they differ.
Amaya -born November 2, 2006-
10 degree Scorpio Sun, 0 degree Aries Moon, 8 degree Sagittarius Rising
Alexxa-born November 6, 2006-
14 degree Scorpio Sun, 6 degree Gemini Moon, 0 degree Leo Rising
Amaya has 1 Cardinal planet, 4(+ node) Mutable and 7 fixed placements.
Alexxa has 1 Cardinal placement, 3 Mutable and 8 fixed placements.
Both girls would be pretty stubborn and like their routines. Both would have a problem starting things but would stick to it once engaged. Amaya would appear to have an easier going personality due to her Mutable rising sign (although once you got to know her the stubborness would show!) With a fixed fire sign rising, Alexxa would be very comfortable in her own skin(no one is going to change this girl, she'll probably have a pretty good sense of self) but she will be fickle with her emotions(GEMINI MOON!!!) her feelings about things may change often!
Amaya has 6(+node) placements in water, 4 in fire, 1 in air and 1 in earth.
Alexxa has 6(+node) placements in water, 4 in fire, 2 in air and 0 in earth.
Both girls would be very sensitive, emotional, intuitive, enthusiastic and passionate.
Alexxa needs someone to ground her due to the lack of earth. She may exhibit drama queen tendencies if you don't teach her how to keep things in perspective!! Thinking things through would be a good way to help her do this. Also, watch Alexxa with relationships as she has neptune sitting in her 7th house so she may not see others correctly. Encourage her to get in touch with her intuition and to follow it at a young age so that she may attract creative sensitive types into her life instead of the alternative(escapists, addictive personalities, etc.)
Amaya has slightly more yin energy so she would tend to be slightly more influenced by mom than dad.
Alexxa is evenly yin and yang so she is equally influenced by both parents.
Amaya has 1 personal placement, 7 interpersonal and 4 transpersonal.
Alexxa has 2 personal placements, 7 interpersonal and 3 transpersonal.
Both girls would be other orientated and social. Amaya may need to be taught from a young age good personal habits( such as personal finance and the like) She needs to be encouraged to find out who she is, to be herself but not to let herself be pushed around by others(although she has pluto in the 1st so I don't think that will be a problem combining that with all that fixed energy!!)

Delineation Based on First 4 Lessons - Part 1
OK! Since I have to work around my wee bot's sleep schedule I am breaking this into three parts. I have 6 charts of different children, 4 born within 1 month of each other and 2 born with a predominance of either elements, modalities or both. I will delineate the first two today.
James - born November 21,2006 -
29 degree Scorpio Sun, 9 degree Sagittarius Moon, 24 degree Aquarius Rising.
James has 0 cardinal planets, 7 fixed and 5 (+ node) mutable placements
With 7 fixed he is probably pretty stubborn, a creature of habit but may be very determined.
Since they are in water my guess is that he probably has a melt down(temper tantrum) when you tell him no or if you disturb his personal schedule. That said with the 5+ mutable planets(including his moon in Sag) it's probably not that long of a fit! He let's you know he's unhappy about it but then moves on. The biggest challenge James may have is motivation. Since he's lacking cardinal planets he may be lacking direction. Try to encourage him to try different things, if he shows a sincere interest, support him in staying with it. With all the fixed planets, once he is engaged he should follow through!!
James has 5 placements(+ node) in water signs, 5 in fire, 2 in air but 0 in earth.
He will probably be a very passionate boy! Forceful, idealistic and enthusiastic as well as sensitive. Watch for a tendency to be self-indulgent! He may seem very logical, but make sure he is truly understanding things. He has his rising in Aquarius so he will appear to be knowledgeable, unfortunately the only other air is his Neptune and his ruling planet, Uranus, is in Pisces, so he may be a little spacey!(on the positive side, he may be a very gifted artist or musician also!!) The lack of earth may make him undependable, probably because he isn't really practical(he could be a very dreamy, imaginative boy)and doesn't know the logical reasons why he needs to do certain things(like keep his room clean). try to create a structure for him to follow while he is young so he won't have to worry about trying to learn it later (side note: when a person has a fixed rising sign, it is very hard to change the habits they adopt in childhood)
He's evenly yin and yang. Probably gets along well with both parents generally speaking.
James has no personal planets, 5 interpersonal and 7 transpersonal.
He will be very group minded, worrying about his friends more than himself, watch against a tendency to be the scapegoat. Try to guide him towards the 'right' friends. He will have good judgment if he listens to his gut(feelings) his logic may fool him. He'll have high ideals and may have a tendency to be friends with people because he feels he could 'save' them.
Chey - born October 27,2006-
4 degree Scorpio Sun, 8 degree Capricorn Moon, 2 degree Capricorn Rising
Chey has 2 cardinal placements, 8 fixed and 2 (+node)mutable placements. Even though she too would be a bit stubborn and a creature of habit, she has a little more balance between the two less populated modalities. She would have a tendency to get stuck sometimes but would be focused and determined. She would likely have ideas but they may not form fully enough to follow through.She would be likely to follow through on things that 'feel right' to her. She may also have so many ideas that she couldn't decide on which ones to follow to completion, This would be due to some intellectual fogginess(that pesky Neptune is at work again!)In Chey's case it would have to do with her personal values and money.
She has a little more balance with her elements [ 2 fire, 1 air and 2 earth] although again she has a predominance of water(7 + node). She would tend to be intuitive, sensitive, possibly wavering and influenced by her surroundings. This is a child you probably wouldn't want to fight around as she would be very likely to internalize the discord and feel like she caused it. She would be conservative and ardent but also impractical and lacking reason.
Chey has a predominance of yin energy in her chart[9 + node] which shows she would tend to be quiet and introverted. She would probably be more influenced by mom due to this also. She may be a late bloomer.
Finally, she has 0 personal planets, 7 interpersonal and 5 transpersonal. Again, she would likely be focused on others and have high ideals and morals. Watch for a lack of self confidence and self perservation.

elements, polarities, modalities and orientations in the horoscope: Part 4
today's topic: orientations
Most people who start studying astrology are aware of the elements in a chart. Some may be aware of modalities and polarities. Few that I have met(myself included) are aware of a sign's orientation. The orientations refer to the 3 stages of relationship between the individual and their environment. They correlate with the evolution of the twelve astrological signs. It's how we meet the world.
The three orientations are: PERSONAL, INTERPERSONAL and TRANSPERSONAL
The first stage, PERSONAL, is related to birth or infancy. A newborn's primary focus is on getting their needs met: food, clothing, warmth,personal contact. It sees itself as the center of the universe and its sole purpose is to assure its well being.
The first four signs of the zodiac (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer) correspond to the PERSONAL stage.
The next stage is INTERPERSONAL. As the child matures they become aware of other people and that they too have legitimate needs. In this phase, the child becomes a social individual, learning to interact with a wide variety of individuals.
The next four signs of the zodiac (Leo,Virgo,Libra,Scorpio) correspond to the INTERPERSONAL stage.
The final stage is TRANSPERSONAL. In this stage, the individual seeks to understand their relationship with the universe. They must accept their physical mortality and find a more spiritual connection.
The final four signs of the zodiac (Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces) correspond to the TRANSPERSONAL stage.
Like the elements and modalities, the orientations show both positive and negative applications.
An exaggeration of the PERSONAL orientation will result in a person who becomes selfish and egocentric. Those deficient in this orientation have a difficult time fulfilling their rudimentary survival needs.
An exaggeration of the INTERPERSONAL orientation results in a person who may become too other-directed, losing touch with their own personal sense of self. Lacking this orientation results in a person who is denied their need for human contact.
An exaggeration of the TRANSPERSONAL orientation may result in a person who is out of touch with the world. A person who is so concerned with the meaning of life that they forget about taking care of practical matters like paying the rent. The person lacking this orientation, experiences a lack of connection with the world as a whole and thus will lack a spiritual perspective towards life.
As before, look at your child's planets putting extra emphasis on the personal planets(these are: sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars and ascendant[rising sign]) making a list of the orientations then look at the rest of their planets(jupiter, saturn,uranus,neptune and pluto) See how evenly distributed the orientations are (ie: My son has his sun, moon, mercury and mars in personal signs, his venus,ascendant and saturn are in interpersonal signs he has no personal planets that are transpersonal but does have his jupiter, uranus, neptune and pluto there. All in all, pretty balanced but my guess is he will be more concerned about meeting his personal needs first, and with all the cancer energy he has I can assure you him getting fed is priority numero uno!!!)
In the next lesson I will tie all 4 lessons together and give numerous examples.

elements, polarities, modalities and orientations in the horoscope: Part 3
Today's discussion POLARITIES!
What are polarities? They are another aspect of the elements. It is actually the Yin and Yang of the elements.
Let's take the element of FIRE. What other element is needed to support a fire, what element is compatible? The obvious answer is AIR because a FIRE cannot burn without it. AIR literally feeds the FIRE allowing it to grow to its maximum potential and is necessary for its continued existence.
Another example on the other side, EARTH. Let's say you plant a seed. In parched EARTH your seed will not grow, WATER is necessary to nourish the soil so that it can grow to reach its full potential.
Thus there are two polarities:
EARTH and WATER(YIN[-]) and FIRE and AIR(YANG[+])
Yin energy is receptive. It is negatively charged and corresponds to EARTH and WATER because the signs in those elements are more receptive, introspect and self-repressive. They draw to them those things they need and conserve their energy within. Their keyword is SECURITY.
On the other hand, Yang energy is active. It is positively charged and corresponds to FIRE and AIR because the signs in those elements are more active, outgoing and self -expressive. They pour their energy into the world and are the go-getters of the zodiac. Their keyword is FREEDOM.
The more AIR and FIRE your child has in his/her chart the more resilient they will be.
The more EARTH and WATER your child has the more quiet and introverted they will be.
My little boy has 7 planets or sensitive spots in YIN or negative polarity and 6 in YANG or positive polarity. On the surface it looks pretty evenly placed but most of his personal planets(Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and his Ascendant(Rising Sign))are YIN(remember this is negative, introspective energy) Only his Venus is YANG (and Midheaven, so he will probably appear more outgoing than he is) He is very demonstrative (Venus in Leo) but mostly to his mommy and mostly in the privacy of home. Many of his generational planets are YANG so he is part of a generation as a whole who will go out into the world and pour their energies into it.
Make a note of your child's planets in both polarities and look to see where the personal planets are located. Following is a table with keywords to help you understand your child's energy better.

Welcome to Earth Mother Astrology!
Hi!
Welcome!
This blog started as a forum outside Cafemom to discuss our child's potential through the study of astrology. I hope to have useful information on this blog that is easily understood and accessible to most users. Please be patient with me as I have a small boy that I'm rearing as well as a husband, 3 cats, a dog and a fledgling business(see my other blog: busylittleelf.blogspot.com to see what I'm talking about!)
I will try to make one significant post each week.
I have started a group on google groups[see link in side bar]
If you are a cafemom(or would like to become one!) please visit our group:
http://www.cafemom.com/group/earthmotherastrology
I will be monitoring the cafemom group daily so leave me a post and I'll get back to you!
Thanks!
Kelly
