Beginning with your baby’s sun sign, then diving into their whole birth chart, here’s how to use astrology to decode your little one’s personality, character traits, communication style, likes and dislikes, inspiration for happiness, and triggers for fussiness, even the best-suited books, toys, and activities. Divided into three parts—The Twelve Signs; A Guide to Your Little One’s Mind, Spirit, and Well-Being; and Parent and Child Relationships: Bonding with Your Growing Star—this book covers specifics on parenting based on your own astrological identity (an Aries parent and an Aries child will connect through competitive activities but may clash as a result of their being equally hotheaded). Best ways to foster your little one’s self-expression (art supplies are a must-have for Libras). How to boost your baby’s physical and mental well-being (a back rub before bed will be especially soothing for a tense Leo). In other words, it’s a parenting book tailored to your unique child, all based on the timeless wisdom of the zodiac.
Raising Baby by the Stars covers what you need to know about a child’s sun sign, of course, but also other key placements (such as their moon and rising signs), and how their whole, distinctive birth chart can influence their self-expression and learning, health and vitality, as well as how they’ll connect and clash with loved ones.
The topic dovetails with the growing social media-fueled conversation on — and my growing interest in — gentle parenting, which aims to foster emotional intelligence, confidence, and independence in kids by meeting them with empathy.
I strongly believe astrology is a beautiful complement to this approach. After all, as soon as you see how unique your baby’s whole birth chart is and as you begin to learn what it all means — with a little help from Raising Baby by the Stars — you can better see the world through their perspective.
My most heartfelt wish is that this book leaves parents — as well as aunts, uncles, grandparents, caregivers, anyone in a child’s life — feeling more confident and equipped with knowledge that will make raising a little one more inspiring than challenging.
If you’d like to support the book, pre-ordering a copy would mean the world to me.
