“How does your child perceive the mother?”
To your child, the mother is perceived as a woman deeply interested in appearance, who constantly relies on someone else in her actions. The mother may seem especially beautiful to the child and serve as an ideal of true beauty.
“What does he need in order to feel secure and confident?”
Such a child needs someone to play with. He is rarely satisfied if left alone for long. When there is no one nearby, this child often complains that he doesn’t know what to do. With no one to respond to his words or actions, he feels lonely and turns to you for support. Nothing brings him joy if there is no one to share his successes or failures. Understand this!
You will find that you can accomplish much more if you find a playmate for your child—even if you have to invite that friend into your home. And if that friend has a similar temperament to your child, you won’t need to worry about their games. A child with the Moon in Libra prefers everything to be pleasant and peaceful; he won’t initiate rough games or arguments on his own initiative.
However, this child may display particular indecisiveness when faced with two alternative options of roughly equal value. He wants both, so he will weigh the pros and cons for so long that it may frustrate you. Do not ask your child to make too many everyday decisions (what to wear, what to eat)—it will be easier and calmer for both of you if you simply make the decision yourself rather than asking him to choose.
The Moon in Libra indicates that children are under Venus’s strong influence and possess a gentle nature. By temperament, they are very peaceful individuals. Often, when this trait is taken to the extreme, they readily agree with everything and strive to achieve peace at any cost. Certainly, understanding others is a wonderful quality, but still, one should not compromise personal principles or ideals.
The approval and positive regard of others are extremely important for children with this Moon placement. They have a need to interact with people: they enjoy cooperative activities and tolerate solitude poorly. Teach your child to be somewhat more discerning in choosing companions, and their inner balance (and Libra always seeks balance) will remain intact, without the need to abandon their principles.
Children with the Moon in Libra have a pleasant disposition, tender and sensitive hearts, and generally get along easily with people. They tend to see only the good in others, which, as you understand, can easily lead to trouble. Such a child is instantly influenced by peers, so they need help in choosing friends. Explain to him that he doesn’t need to try to please everyone at once—and that it’s impossible anyway.
Children with the Moon in Libra appreciate beauty in all its forms: they love art, music, fine clothing, jewelry, and luxury in general. If they are upset or distressed, music will soothe their soul best. Explain to the child that it’s physically impossible to remain in harmony with the surrounding world all the time. Teaching the child to control their emotions and actions means teaching them to maintain inner balance. This isn’t difficult—only a little practice is needed.
Family bonds are very important for such children; they need their loved ones to believe in them. Those born with the Moon in Libra possess more than enough charm; the only thing left is to teach them how to use it properly, as it is truly a divine gift offering great advantages in life—just don’t let them waste it on trivial matters.
When engaged in work, household chores, or other tasks, such children will likely show little initiative, especially if forced to do so alone. Working in a group is a different matter—they will make an effort then. But be cautious: instead of honest labor, they might engage in pleasant chatter. Try to change the child’s attitude toward work. Explain that work can be difficult (and even dirty!), but it is inherently constructive and positive. Moreover, the child will undoubtedly be happy to see the results of his efforts. He will be doubly happy if he worked not alone, but with friends.
Perhaps the most important thing you can do for your child is teach him to take initiative. This is essential, because otherwise he simply won’t survive in our harsh world. Recall how often you have to push him, remind him, almost shove him… Therefore, consistently emphasize the value of his own initiatives in everything—whether it’s doing homework or cleaning his room. And don’t forget about rewards. He will appreciate anything beautiful—whether it’s a flower or a lovely melody. You can read him his favorite book, or simply give him a warm hug and a kiss.
I fear loneliness,
My dear, my beloved:
Night and day, sorrow and laughter
I will share with you!
Such a child truly needs someone to play with. He is rarely satisfied if left alone for long. Friendships may mean everything to him. When no one is nearby, this child often complains that he doesn’t know what to do. With no one to respond to his words and actions, he feels lonely and turns to you for support. Nothing brings him joy if there is no one to share his successes or failures. Understand! Numerous refusals such as “go read a book,” “watch TV,” or “you have a whole room full of toys—how can you be bored?” completely fail to meet this child’s needs.
You will find that you can accomplish much more if you find a playmate for your child—even if you have to invite that friend into your home. If that friend has a similar temperament to your child, you won’t need to worry about their games. A child with the Moon in Libra prefers everything to be pleasant and peaceful. He won’t initiate rough games or arguments on his own. Although he is usually sociable and gets along well in groups, he tends to choose one special friend. If they play in a trio and a conflict arises, your child will likely act as a mediator, as he wants to restore peace and instinctively sees both sides of the issue and finds compromise.
However, this child may display the typical Libran indecisiveness when faced with two alternative options of roughly equal value. He wants both or doesn’t want to miss out on either, so he will weigh the pros and cons for so long that it may frustrate you. Do not ask your child to make too many everyday decisions—you’ll both feel easier and calmer if you simply say, “Wear this, you look very nice in it,” instead of “What would you like to wear?” or “Let’s have chocolate ice cream” instead of “Do you want chocolate or strawberry?” If he has a clear preference, he will likely tell you himself, but if you ask him to choose when there is no preference, it may take a very long time.
