Astrology & Archetypes for Kids
Astrology isn’t just about planets and signs, it’s about stories. Behind every sign in your child’s birth chart lives an archetype: a timeless pattern, an ancient myth, a story told for thousands of years.
These archetypes give astrology its rich depth. They reveal why Leo shines like the Sun, why Scorpio holds the power of transformation, and why Pisces swims through the ocean of dreams. In the cosmic dance, each child carries a unique story, a story through the stars.
What Are Archetypes in Astrology?
Archetypes are universal energies, woven into myths, fairy tales, and cultures around the world. They are the Warrior, the Nurturer, the Explorer, the Sage. In astrology, every sign and planet carries its own archetypal essence.
When we encounter these archetypes within our children, we glimpse the soul’s blueprint behind their expressions. It’s less about “why” and more about witnessing a story unfolding across time and space.
