“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 to feel confident and secure?” Your child is an optimist by nature. He is enthusiastic about life in general and whatever interests him at the moment. He believes the world is beautiful and expects the best from everyone. He may often feel disappointed, but he is not inclined to dwell on sadness for long.
Your child needs adventures, whether physical or intellectual. His mind craves stimulation and adventure. Everything new and unknown will attract him. Travel will bring him joy and a wealth of new ideas—but if a real journey is impossible, he can travel mentally. Make sure he has access to a large library.
When a grand idea illuminates the special horizon of your child’s mind, he wants to share it with everyone. Then he begins to “shoot” the arrows of his ideas at you and anyone who will listen. In doing so, he will be very categorical and persuasive—until the object of his belief disappoints him. This child is usually happy, friendly with everyone, confident, and cheerful. He is curious and will likely ask you countless questions on subjects that may be too profound for his age—various ethical and philosophical issues, God, and so on. Be prepared for this.
(Various sources for the 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 a great deal and derive immense pleasure from it. Everything interests them: other countries, new people, foreign customs and ways of life. They often marry foreigners or marry abroad. They are fascinated by everything and seek to explore the world as long as they have the strength. They enjoy novelty simply because it stimulates their minds. They are also strongly drawn to animals and nature.
Those with the Moon in Sagittarius openly and sincerely share their ideas, though others may find them somewhat crude. Such children express their thoughts and feelings easily—but take note—they completely lack diplomatic skills. Help your child develop tact and explain that not everything can be said outright. It’s easy to offend others with overly blunt words.
These children are natural idealists and often somewhat naive. They want to see the world as honest, noble, and beautiful. They always strive to be the same and, quite naturally, expect the same from others. You will need to teach them to accept life as it is, or they will face disappointment in the future. Since they absorb new information and perspectives quickly, they often change their minds. Their energy is simply phenomenal; they are extremely active in any endeavor. But this same trait can work against them: without proper guidance, they tend to be disorganized—both mentally and physically.
Sagittarius is a fire sign, so these children are quick-tempered; they can be easily provoked, but their anger passes as quickly as it arises. They are not inclined to hold grudges and generally have a very good disposition. Their ideals are high and noble. They hate hypocrisy and pretense. Perhaps the most important lesson you can teach your child is to set more realistic goals and not be so harsh on others.
One of the most valuable traits of their character is their sense of humor. They seem able to laugh under any circumstances and can make others smile. Even in the most difficult, serious, or seemingly hopeless situations, they can find something amusing. This is a wonderful quality, but there is one caveat: they must remember that others are often more serious and pragmatic and may not always appreciate their humor. Ultimately, their innate self-discipline and level-headedness will help them in such situations.
When disciplining them, be direct and honest. The best way to connect with the child is to explain the reasons behind your actions. Such children are incapable of long-term sadness or resentment. They are the most incorrigible optimists of the Zodiac. They are endlessly curious and ask an incredible number of questions. They are interested in everything: people, God, the universe. And they will expect honest and thoughtful answers, so be prepared. If you don’t know how to answer, it’s best to admit it honestly—you won’t lose anything; on the contrary, you’ll earn their respect. Even better, try to find the answer together—it will be interesting!
Children with the Moon in Sagittarius are always learning something new. They are especially interested in the lives of remarkable people—those who have left their mark on history. Communicating with such lively children is pure joy! Just remember one thing: love such children fully and completely, without reservations or ulterior motives, with an open heart. Perhaps “open” is the key word for these little extroverts. If you try to restrict them in any way, they will protest with all their might as children and simply leave when they grow up!

I am drawn to the starry sphere,
The intoxicating elixir of freedom!
I need strong faith
And the highest goal!
