We recommend that you follow our advice with both a light and observing mind. Beyond entertainment, the aim is to understand how each of us behaves in various fields; thus, we can better define and fathom, by deduction, how we have developed our natal predispositions. In addition, why wouldn't we be able to guess the talent(s) which we could harness in the future, according to our astrological profile.

The following information is given for signs in their purest form. Depending on the case, it is advisable that you check your planetary dominant or the sign of your Ascendant, the position, quality and aspects of the significators of the area involved, and if applicable, the position of the planets associated with it. For instance, for family affairs, examine the 4th House and its ruler, as well the Moon; for romance, examine the 5th House and its ruler, as well as Venus, etc.

The large number of books we have read, and more particularly, the experience we have drawn from the study of thousands of charts, urge us to be cautious. However, we thought that it may be interesting to provide a few concrete indications, which will turn out to be accurate, quite often.

With an Aries child, it is wise to find an outlet for his brimming energy. A person born with the Sun in this sign always readily takes up challenges, if possible with a high level of adrenaline.

It would be suitable also to choose an individual activity in which he can successfully be self-employed. Athletics, combat sports or those implying speed, including karting if he is old enough, represent good options. It may be a helpful idea to advise him to be careful and to remind him the rules and practices, even if it means bothering him. But at least the indispensable precautions will be taken.

Fiery, full of life, Aries can also work wonders in theatre improvisation. Aries may not play the role of bashful lovers or tearful belles, but will know how to express burning passion. In any case, one criterion only is important: his love for the activity in question, because it is useless to force these horny animals!

You will find on Astrotheme thousands of natal charts of celebrities who have the Sun in Aries, Aries rising, or Mars dominant.

Even though he does not seem to enjoy any particular hobby, the Taurus child is often excited by the prospect of trying a new pastime. Blessed with a pleasant voice, he is sensitive to various forms of music and will gladly play an instrument, especially if it is huge or requires tight body contact. Contrabassoon, saxophone, or drums will delight him.

Along the same lines, sculpture or ceramics may appeal to him. A nature lover, he may also develop a liking for leisure activities enabling him to explore the countryside in all simplicity.

Also think of cooking workshops, constantly more numerous to target junior people. The Taurus child is most likely to display serious aptitudes in this field, which may even be the beginning of a calling.

With his sheer spontaneity, the Gemini child will not wait for anyone to invent group games. He will be one of the pillars of the leisure centre of his district, the first person to distribute petitions demanding extracurricular infrastructures.

Since he is equally good with words and with his fingers, he is absolutely able to revamp a place that the local authorities have put at the disposal of youths. He is clever for drafting requests, and instinctively knows at which door he should knock.

However, he must beware of his thoughtlessness, because he gets tired quickly! Having said this, he has a wide range of talents to be exploited. He likes theatre, public readings, collective sports such as football, basketball, or tennis.

In these fields too he is willing to participate in camps enabling him to live the biggest passion of his life: to socialise.

Introverted by nature, the Cancer child loves to stay in his room, a book or a tablet in his hand, in order to escape with words or images. However, it would be good to encourage him to open up to other people, provided this occurs in a safe setting.

His inner calm must be respected. He learns better in small groups under the guidance of a teacher or of a person entrusted with a supervisory task, provided the said person is mature enough. The child likes habits. Once he has started a painting course at a given time, a given day, he is a regular attender. Initiation to pastry classes will also suit his delicate and gourmet temperament.

He is fond of physical activities related to water: swimming of course, although one must be careful not to deter him by mentioning competitive efforts. He may prefer rowing outings or stand-up paddleboarding.

In other words, at an early age, he may harbour a secret wish to become a star in his favourite field.

As we all have guessed, games take an important dimension in his case, since his ego is in question. On the other hand, laziness and touchiness may prevent him from taking a path where he feels clumsy and where too much effort is required. Therefore, he should be oriented towards theatre acting, or a cinema or circus school which offers the opportunity to learn about life.

He focuses on the sports he associates with social success: golf, tennis, or football, since nowadays the bests players are gods.

Classical dance or rhythmic gymnastics remain good choices, with their precious accessories. Nevertheless, it is also possible to orient him towards visual arts. Depending on the age, he may start with basic colourings, where his sense of hues will work wonders. Later, once more experienced, he can try more elaborate collages.

Pottery, which implies a pleasant contact with materials, will appeal to him. And why not suggest even more original classes to discover origami? The delicate and ethereal side of Japanese folding should suit him!

Teachers will immediately realise that they are dealing with a tough child who can endure strenuous efforts, and who enjoys squeezing out people to the last drop. It is necessary to watch the way he controls his emotions and copes with his disappointments.

It is most likely that he enrols at a ski club. Quite logically, he is comfortable with horses, because the contact with his mascot stimulates his instincts. He excels at archery, which is also in line with Sagittarius' symbolism. Precocious, he will very quickly ask to be sent abroad in “nature and discovery” camps.

Since he is sociable and endowed with natural authority, he tends to believe that he is the assistant to a teacher.

Unless they do look like work. One often sees that since early childhood, Capricorns show that they are endowed with entrepreneurial spirit.

Regardless of the area, he is able to collect documentation and to take all the necessary steps to implement an idea dear to his heart. Thanks to the Earth Element and to Capricorn's perseverance, it is helpful to suggest activities implying endurance.

He seeks mainly pleasant feelings when he practices physical activities. Swimming or dance interests him. However, it is necessary to help him set his priorities and encourage him not to give up too quickly what fascinated him in the beginnings, just out of nonchalance.
