Many parents are curious about their children’s future and often wish they could shape it. We sometimes treat a birth chart like a chessboard, trying to move children into the “right” boxes. But the truth is, much of a child’s personality is formed by age seven, and by twenty-four, they are fully developed. Sage Brihat Parashara states that after 24, a child’s chart becomes independent of the parents’ charts. Psychology agrees—children are most influenced by how they’re raised, not by what they’re told.
Before becoming parents, it’s important to prepare—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. According to scriptures, East and Northwest are ideal for newlyweds. During conception, one can chant guru mantras or Vedic syllables to invite elevated souls into the womb. Ensuring proper Vitamin D (Sun) and hormonal balance (Moon) is also essential.
Astrologically, the Sun represents the father and the Moon the mother. A child with a strong father bond tends to have a stronger Sun in their chart. Spending time in sunlight and staying hydrated are simple yet powerful steps. Children mirror what they see—so instead of giving lectures, become the example. Encourage outdoor play, reading, and nurturing their talents. These habits build emotional strength, balance, and self-worth. In the end, the best way to raise strong children is to become strong, conscious individuals ourselves.
