“How does your child perceive the mother?”
Your child perceives the mother as a teacher of spiritual truth. She may seem very independent and sometimes unreliable to him.
“What does he need in order to feel secure and safe?”
Your child is by nature an optimist. He is enthusiastic about life in general and about whatever currently interests him. He believes the world is wonderful and expects the best from everyone. He may often be disappointed, but he is not prone to prolonged sadness.
Your child needs adventures—if not physical, then intellectual. His mind craves stimulation and adventure. Anything new and unexplored will attract him. Travel will bring him joy and a wealth of new ideas—but if actual travel is impossible, he can journey in his imagination. Make sure he has access to a large library.
When a great idea illuminates your child’s unique celestial vault, he wants to share it with everyone. Then he begins “shooting” arrows of his ideas at you and at anyone who will listen. At such times he will be very categorical and persuasive—until the object of his belief disappoints him personally. This child is usually happy, friendly with everyone, confident, and cheerful. He is inquisitive and will likely ask you countless questions about topics sometimes too profound for his age—various ethical and philosophical issues, God, and so on. Be prepared for this.
(Various sources for a child’s horoscope)
Children born with the Moon in Sagittarius love sports, travel, and various forms of entertainment. They want to travel the entire world. While traveling, they learn many new things and gain immense pleasure. They are interested in everything: other countries, new people, foreign customs and ways of life. They often marry foreigners or marry foreign men. They are interested in everyone; they explore the world as long as they have the strength. They enjoy the new simply because it makes them “use their brains.” They are also strongly attracted to animals and nature.
Those with the Moon in Sagittarius sincerely and openly express their ideas, although others may find them somewhat blunt. Such children easily express their thoughts and feelings, but—pay attention—they completely lack diplomatic skills. Help your child develop tact; explain that one cannot always speak directly about what one thinks… This can easily hurt others, who might misinterpret overly honest words.
Such children are idealists by nature and often somewhat naive. They want to see the world as honest, noble, and beautiful. They themselves always strive to be exactly that, and, quite naturally, expect the same from others. You will need to teach them to accept life as it is, otherwise they will face disappointments in the future. Since they easily absorb new information and new viewpoints, they may frequently change their opinions. Their energy is simply fantastic; they are extremely active in any endeavor. But this very trait can turn against them: without proper guidance, they are prone to disorganization (both mental and physical).
Sagittarius is a fire sign, so such children are passionate and easily provoked, but their anger passes as quickly as it arises. They are not inclined to hold grudges and generally have a very good temperament. Their ideals are high and noble. They hate hypocrisy and pretense. Perhaps the most important thing you can teach your child is to set more realistic goals and be less harsh toward others.
One of the most valuable traits of their character is their sense of humor. It seems they can laugh under any circumstances and can always make those around them smile. In the most difficult, serious, and even hopeless situations, they know how to find something funny. This is a wonderful quality, but there is still one caution: they must remember that others are often much more serious and sober-minded and may not always appreciate their sense of humor. But eventually, innate self-discipline and prudence will come to the aid of such children.
When teaching them discipline, be direct and honest. The best way to explain your actions to the child is the best way to reach understanding. Such children are incapable of prolonged sadness or brooding. They are the most determined optimists of the Zodiac. They are extraordinarily curious and ask an endless number of questions. They are interested in everything: people, God, the Universe. And they will expect an honest and intelligent answer, so be prepared. If you don’t know how to answer them, it’s best to honestly admit it—you will lose nothing, and on the contrary, you will earn their respect. Even better, try to find the answer together—it will be interesting!
Children with the Moon in Sagittarius are constantly learning. They are especially interested in the lives of remarkable people—those who have left their mark in history. Interacting with such cheerful children is pure joy! Just remember one thing well: you must love such children completely and fully, without reservations, without hidden agendas, with an open heart. Perhaps “open” is the key word for these little extroverts. Restrict them in anything: in early childhood they will protest as much as they can, and when they grow up—they will simply leave!

The sphere of stars attracts me,
The intoxicating wine of freedom!
I need strong faith
And the highest goal!
For this child to feel secure in your love, you must truly “let go” of him. Of course, you can catch a firefly and keep it in a jar, but after some time it will stop glowing. Your child needs adventures—if not physical, then intellectual. Raise him by showing him that there are countless opportunities for exploration and expansion. His mind craves stimulation and adventure. Anything new and unexplored will attract him. Travel will bring him joy and a multitude of new ideas—but if actual physical travel is impossible, he can travel in his imagination. Ensure he has access to a large library. Find ways to connect with people from different cultures, as he will likely learn much of value from them.
