Vedic Astrology.
During the last issue, I explained a little bit about the “Rasis” or zodiac signs. In this issue, I wish to explain a little bit about the nature of the Children born in the specified Rasis. This is a general explanation. This will vary according to the planets occupy the rasi or the position of the owner of that rasi.
ARIES (MESHA)
Ruled by Mars, the Aries child must be busy with something and prefer to follow their impulses rather than logical demands. Their ruler planet Mars gives them energy and courage. The Aries child’s attention and shrieks his head off if he does not get it. Just in case you do not know it yet, he is the boss! Even when he is not old enough to speak, you will be able to tell his likes and dislikes, as he does not have a faint bone in his body. Aries girls too are extremely direct and determined to get their own way. Aries children learn to walk and talk faster than other children. They must be disciplined as soon as possible. Accident-prone, curious and impetuous by nature, you must watch over them carefully. Keep knife like objects out of their reach. Watch out for their temper tantrums. However, you need not be concerned. Arian children are extremely affectionate. If he or she likes you, he can be generous to a fault. Remember that he or she will only like you if he or she can get his or her own way. Do not ever make the mistake of comparing him or her to their siblings. If you want to motivate them to do well, he or she will shine in challenges. On one hand, the Aries child can be tough and practical and on the other, a dreamy sentimental soul with a vivid imagination.

Taurus child to do anything that he does not want to do. There is a reason why they are called “bulls.” On the face of it, the Taurus child is the most mild-mannered of all. However, if they are pushed, you will see the stubbornness of the bull rise to the surface. The way to get around them is through logic and love. Powerful, emotionally stable and athletically inclined, these toddlers seem more competent than the average child. Calm and cheerful, they are not disheveled easily. Marked by maturity beyond their years, they dislike too much attention. They are extremely well behaved and much happier left to their own devices. A very sensual sign, the Taurus (Rishabha) child responds to harmonious colures and sounds. Discordance disturbs their mental equilibrium. That is why it is important to have a harmonious family life in his formative years. A wise parent will start the little Taurean on music and singing lessons as early as possible.
