What Activities Does Your Child Need to be Happy and Content?
It depends on which elements – Fire, Earth, Air, or Water – are strongest in the chart.
Each astrological sign is one of the four elements – Fire, Air, Earth or Water – and children are especially sensitive to them. Knowing if your child is an energetic fire sign or a sensitive water sign gives you a headstart in understanding what motivates them and how they relate to their environment.
Depending on the elements in her chart, each child feels a natural affinity for certain settings and activities. These things are the fuel they need to feel alive! It is the source of their vitality and the way they re-charge their batteries.
FAQs about the Elements
