How to predict your kid's "stormy" seasons with transits

How to predict your kid's "stormy" seasons with transits

Transits (i.e. the movement of planets around your birth chart) help us plan better. For parenting, we can use the "Cosmic Weather" to predict when our kids will go through different developmental experiences (for better or worse).

If you have kids, (or work with kids, or spend time with kids in any way), you already know: there are sunny days, and stormy ones.

As they get older, it seems like every season brings a new adventure - and a new challenge.

When my son was little, we used The Wonder Weeks app - which would tell us when he'd hit a new developmental milestone (it usually came right after a weeks-long "stormy" phase). It helped us get through the sleepless nights, and enjoy the easy weeks when they happened.

But what about when kids get older?

There's no app for that...especially the timing piece.

So how do you know when you're hitting a cranky phase? What's really underneath your 11-year old's moody tween outbursts? And how the heck do you respond when their behavior gets...extra?

It's different for everyone, and as a mom, I use astrology - especially transits - heavily when navigating exactly how to show up for my kiddo.

For example: During Uranus' transit to his sun, we prioritized outside time & grounding.

Now, Pluto's squaring his Ascendant (his sense of self)...so I'm trying to be extra centered when he pushes back on the rules.

Is his birth chart the guidebook I wished I got with his birth? Kinda 😉

##Here are some practical ways to use transits for parenting:

  1. Ask Star Path "what's happening now" to get a pulse on their current season
  2. Ask Star Path about upcoming stormy vs. sunny seasons. Block your calendar to give your kiddo space, or snacks, or room to play.
  3. Do a year-ahead transits reading on their birthday.
  4. Do a transits reading for major sign changes (like Jupiter & the South Node entering Leo this summer, Chiron newly in Taurus, etc.)

I'll be honest: astrology doesn't always make the stormy seasons easier.

But it does give us tools to ride them out.

Just ask Star Path.

Happy chatting! Rachel

P.S. Share this with a parent. Seriously. Any parent, of any age. Because stormy seasons affect adult children too 😉

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use astrocartography for?

You can use astrocartography to plan trips, start new chapters in life, or create experiences that activate different parts of who you are (or who you could be). Because astrocartography is essentially your birth chart layered onto the globe, the energy of planets intersects with places - so you can use it to find places that'll amplify your career, your love life, or even your health and healing. Some popular applications of astrocartography include choosing places to visit or live - especially ones that align with goals you're pursuing, experiences you want to have, or even big transits.

What is astrocartography, and how does it work?

Astrocartography is the astrology of places. By layering your birth chart onto the world map, you turn planetary placements into "lines" - each of which activates the energy of a specific planet. For example: if you live on your Saturn MC line, you'll build your career over time. If you live on your Venus DSC line, you'll experience more harmony in your love life. Star Path is an AI astrology chat platform, so you can explore your astrocartography chart dynamically. Click on a line, measure how far it is from certain cities, and ask open-ended questions like "Where's the best place to live for my health?" Star Path's AI astrologer will consult our ephemeris, use advanced software specific to astrocartography to pull the right data for the AI to reference, and give you a deeply personalized reading. You can then interact with it through chat.

What’s the best way to use this software if I want to eventually become an astrologer myself?

Step one of an astrology journey is to understand yourself. Truly, understanding how different placements, aspects, and transits show up in your own life will give you the most embodied knowledge of how astrology "works". Once you get it for yourself, it's easier to apply it for others (which you can do by chatting with Star Path about people you add to Your Circle). That being said, we also offer Astrology 101 classes as part of our Pro+ plan - so if you want to start a formal learning process, that's a great place to begin. 

Why is Star Path's astrology AI more accurate than ChatGPT or Claude?

Star Path's astrology AI is more accurate than ChatGPT, Perplexity or Claude because we pair it with a non-AI astrology ephemeris (i.e. astrology math calculator) - and software tools that pull correct data for birth charts, transits, synastry, and astrocartography. Other AI platforms can't plug into an ephemeris, so they often hallucinate chart placements. Even if you paste your birth info into ChatGPT or Claude, they typically get your data wrong because they don't have actual software doing the functions of a human astrologer. With AI, accurate data is key to accurate birth chart interpretation, so it's critical to have both an ephemeris & software that can think through what the right data to pull is (like the discernment of a professional astrologer). Beyond that, Star Path has extensive instructions around how to behave as a classically-trained astrologer. While other AI platforms like ChatGPT or Claude might behave like they can answer questions rooted in astrology, they don't know how to follow astrology best practices, and this can lead to blatantly wrong or discouraging readings.
