Although Mlle Kiddie doesn't know the time or place of Xander's birth, she has done a guesstimate chart for LA for September 13, 2011.In it, his partial Kiddiegram notes that Xander has a Moon (in Aries) conjunct Uranus.
Moon Conjunct Uranus:
Spontaneous, emotionally impulsive, and excitable, Xander can be disruptive if he is restrained for too long. He loves to feel free and a bit wild, and he is uncomfortable in a formal, stuffy, or overly-structured environment. He is inclined to have unusual habits or idiosyncrasies, too. He may enjoy shocking you at times.
Looks like his Capricorn Mom is totally relaxed with this exciting little trait. Makes taking a walk, a fun adventure! Probably because she too has a Moon conjunct Uranus, although in the sign of Scorpio and not Aries!
For Xander's Partial Kiddiegram
This astrological portrait of your child is intended to give you insight into his unique gifts and challenges. Much of a child's behavior which may puzzle or stymie his parents are quite normal, common "developmental stages" of childhood, and there are a number of fine books available on the subject which illuminate the predictable stages that children experience as they unfold. In addition to the universal patterns, each child is an individual with particular qualities, potentials, and needs, and an understanding of these can help you parent your child more wisely and effectively. Acceptance and appreciation for a child's basic nature, and an awareness of the places where there might be stress or difficulties for your child, can be important allies in your parenting.
You will find that the interpretation of your child's chart is written in simple language, uncluttered by astrological jargon. If a statement appears to contradict another statement, then he exhibits these opposite qualities at different times in his life. For example, a statement that he is highly sociable and gregarious and a statement that you prefer solitude seemingly contradict each other; this means that he vacillates, and needs both sociability and solitude at different times.

The SUN in the birthchart represents who this child is at heart, his primary thrust in life, and what path he needs to follow in order to fulfill himself as a unique individual. It indicates who he is inside rather than the way he appears (which is shown more clearly by the Rising Sign).
Sun in Virgo:
Innately humble, shy, and self-effacing, Xander is likely to be much more talented and lovable than he gives himself credit for. He has an inward, serious, intelligent disposition, and tends to quietly observe before entering into any situation. He is usually well-behaved, polite, well-mannered, and careful, with a strong desire to "do the right thing." His conscientiousness, in fact, may be carried to extremes, and he is often very hard on himself when he makes a mistake or does not meet the high standards he sets for himself. It is as if there is a very exacting Critic within him, and he is always trying to be perfect in order to please that aspect of himself. He needs a lot of assurance, warm acceptance, and encouragement to feel good about himself and to learn to ease up and be gentler with himself.
Xander has a mind that loves to categorize, classify, analyze, and organize. He may arrange his belongings very neatly and not wish them to be rearranged in any way. He can be particular about his room or his appearance: everything must be "just so."
He has the ability to deal with meticulous detail and is very skillful with his hands. He also enjoys being helpful and he feels good about himself when he can assist you or do something necessary and practical to help you or others. Developing practical knowledge and skills increases his self confidence. Generous praise for all of his efforts, and helping him find things he can do really well, will go a long way to bring out the best side of him.
Socially he may seem a bit cool until he knows the other person well - and then he is likely to be quite devoted. He also likes to care for pets, especially small, gentle creatures like birds or hamsters.
MERCURY represents thinking and reasoning processes, the way your child's mind works, his intellectual inclinations and way of communicating ideas.
Mercury in Virgo:
Xander's mind is clear, critical, and precise, and he pays meticulous attention to details. He dissects each idea presented to him, picking it apart in order to study it. He is also skillful with his hands and may enjoy handicrafts, needlework, and the like.
Mercury Trine Jupiter:
Xander is broad-minded and has an interest in philosophy, social studies, religion, or other subjects that give him an overview or an overall, long-range perspective. A strong interest in foreign cultures and expanding his knowledge will inspire him to travel.
Mercury Trine Pluto:
Xander has a deep, probing, analytical mind, and he is not content with simple, pat answers or superficial explanations. He has the mind of an in-depth researcher, private investigator, or spy! Anything hidden or mysterious fascinates him.
The MOON in the birthchart indicates how he deals with and expresses feelings, how he experiences the world on an emotional, feeling, non-verbal level, what his emotional needs are, and what he needs to feel secure, comfortable and at ease.
Moon in Aries:
High spirited and lively, this child needs action and he loves to be moving. He is attracted to anything with speed and energy, and to anything that involves challenge or competition (like running a race). He does things quickly, sometimes carelessly, and he hates to wait for anything. He can be very temperamental and impatient if the pace is too slow, and he gets frustrated with himself when he cannot master a task right away. He wants very much to be independent. He also wants very much to win, to be the first, to be the best.
He can be bossy and domineering, is something of a fighter, and will passionately defend the people he loves or the causes he believes in.
He is inclined to sudden bursts of anger or irritability, especially when overstimulated by his environment (too much noise and excitement, television, etc.), or confined for too long (as in a long car ride). Outdoor activity and physical play is very essential.
He may be a fitful, restless sleeper or adamantly resist going to bed at night, especially in his youngest years.
Emotionally he may seem quite self-sufficient, as he dislikes depending on others' help. Sometimes he acts angry or upset, when underneath he is really feeling afraid or hurt or when he is needing comfort or reassurance. You may have to see past his "fireworks display" and probe a little to understand what is really going on with him.
Sometimes he simply insists on "doing his own thing" and he may not fit in or conform.
Moon Conjunct Uranus:
Spontaneous, emotionally impulsive, and excitable, Xander can be disruptive if he is restrained for too long. He loves to feel free and a bit wild, and he is uncomfortable in a formal, stuffy, or overly-structured environment. He is inclined to have unusual habits or idiosyncrasies, too. He may enjoy shocking you at times.
Moon Opposition Venus:
Strong family ties and close friendships are very important to Xander, and he has a warmly affectionate nature that makes him very easy to like. At times, though, his need for others' company, support, and love can be so strong that he can be grasping or unwilling to let his loved ones have time to themselves.
He enjoys nurturing and caring for others, cooking meals, taking care of younger children or pets, etc.
Moon Square Pluto:
Xander has a very intense, dramatic, stormy, emotional side, and he can very easily get swept up in his powerful feelings. He may appear to be unaffected by a situation, and later erupt with a great outburst of emotion.
He forms very deep emotional bonds to others, and has trouble letting go of the people or places he becomes attached to. Jealousy and possessiveness can be troublesome for him at times.
Moon Trine Mars:
Xander enjoys vigorous play and is enthusiastic about games, sports, and competitions of all sorts. He gets grouchy and overly rambunctious if he does not release enough physical energy. He is also impulsive and displays his feelings very spontaneously and directly. Sometimes he is brusque and impatient with people as well.
VENUS represents the way your child gives and receives affection, makes friends, and socializes. It also indicates artistic or creative inclinations.
Venus in Virgo:
Xander is discriminating in his choice of friends, and he may seem rather shy or modest when it comes to making friends. He likes to do things for others. Helping and serving are ways he shows his affection.
Venus Sextile Mars:
Xander has much warmth and love within him that he needs to find ways to express and share with others. Dramatics, dance, or other active, creative forms of self-expression are very good for him.
MARS represents your child's drive, ambition, will, energy level, and ability to assert himself.
Mars in Cancer:
Xander will rarely initiate a fight or a confrontation, and he is uncomfortable with aggressive competition. He often goes after what he wants in an indirect or subtle way. He may have stomach upsets when he is afraid to confront something or assert his will.
JUPITER in the birth chart reveals the child's future aspirations, and how he seeks to grow and improve himself. It also indicates areas of natural confidence, success, or "luck."
Jupiter in Taurus:
Xander's future aspirations undoubtedly include a life of material comforts and pleasure, for he deeply appreciates the natural, sensual world--from soft fabrics next to the skin, to "the world's creamiest chocolate," to simply being outdoors in the sunshine on a perfect spring day. He also has a great love for the earth and is inspired by communication with nature. Having a garden to tend or taking a leisurely walk (preferably barefooted!) will often revitalize his spirits when nothing else will. He thrives on the land, and if he doesn't live where trees and fresh air abound, he needs to visit the countryside frequently.
To develop confidence in himself and trust in life, he needs to be given the freedom to unfold slowly, and not be compared to those whiz kids who seem to excel at every lesson, activity, sport, and social event that can be packed into their calendars. This isn't Xander! By focusing on those activities that give his pleasure and patiently building his skills step by step over time, he will succeed in his own fashion. He seeks to grow in slow, natural stages like a flower opening bit by bit.
The position of SATURN in your child's birth chart indicates the areas in which he is especially insecure, about which he is most serious, and/or in which he works hardest or is hardest on himself. It also reveals those weaknesses which, through effort, may become his greatest strengths.
Saturn in Libra:
Because Xander often feels that even insignificant choices and decisions are heavy matters, he can have difficulty making decisions. He gets caught up in sifting, weighing, balancing, and comparing. Pressing him to reach a conclusion before he had time to consider the various options distresses him, so on minor matters it may be easiest for parents to decide what's best.
Xander also frequently feels that caring for other people is a big responsibility. If he's given the task of caring for a younger sibling or doing some errand or household job for a parent, he'll try his best, but he won't enjoy it much. The responsibility will weigh on him, though he may not say so. He takes arguments between other people quite seriously, and he won't readily forgive a broken promise--even if it was given on the most tentative basis. He has very strict inner rules about how people "should" behave toward one another, and if a friend disappoints him, he may withdraw from the relationship. In fact, he'll sometimes feel that other people are just too much trouble. He may seesaw between feeling lonely and wanting to be left alone.
On the positive side, he has a strong, impartial sense of fairness, and great dedication to fulfilling commitments and obligations toward others. On the negative side, he'll sometimes feel misunderstood, disappointed, and burdened by the need to cooperate with other people.
The slow-moving planets Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto represent the ideals, changes, and impulses of an entire generation. While the descriptions below may or may not describe your child as an individual, they will tell you about the climate of the times and the underlying issues and challenges of your child's age group.
For instance, when Neptune (which represents one's spiritual ideals, dreams, aspirations, fantasies and illusions) passed through the egalitarian and harmony-loving sign of Libra (from 1943-1957), the children who would grow into the "flower children," hippies, and supporters of the peace movement were born. Not every person born during that time became a hippie or identified themselves with the peace movement, but certainly they were affected by the feeling-tone and ideals of their age group and the times they grew up in. Thus, the following information is intended to give you insight into the important motifs and issues of your child's generation.
URANUS indicates where the impulse for change, innovation, liberation from the past, and experimentation with new forms is the strongest. It is where the status quo is disrupted or uprooted to make way for something new. Sudden inspiration and invention are also represented by Uranus.
Uranus in Aries:
FREEDOM for the individual is of utmost importance to this age group. They are some of the most extreme when it comes to following their own inner spark as opposed to adhering to the rules or guidelines imposed by outside authority. They are infused with a powerful spirit of adventurous freedom, self reliance, and revolution, and are in no way passive if their personal freedoms are impinged upon. Many will be seen as incendiary troublemakers.
Uranus Square Pluto:
Born during a period of massive change and disruption in the world, Xander is part of a group of souls destined to undergo radical severance from many of the old ways of life. Because of this, many of them will hold tightly to whatever security they can find, and be quite resistant to change in their worlds. Some, however, will be deeply iconoclastic and instigators of further transformation of the society they are a part of.
NEPTUNE represents the quest for the ideal, the dream, for something more sublime. The sign it is passing through at the time of one's birth colors one's spiritual aspirations and ideals, and also indicates where the desire to escape reality, to fantasize, deceive oneself, and become lost in illusion is the strongest.
Neptune in Aquarius:
This group harbors great hopes for world unity and universal brother and sisterhood. An inner group impulse toward collective awakening and a strongly futuristic, visionary, evolutionary "dream". On the other hand, increasing globalization and impersonalization of daily life is strongly at work in their lives. How to contribute to the whole without becoming a cog in the machine is their quest.
PLUTO in the birth chart indicates a process of deep change, transformation, and renewal, often through destruction or confrontation with darkness. This is a process that takes place in society as well as in individuals. Pluto's position in the birth chart shows where one is compulsive, extreme, or learning key life lessons.
Pluto in Capricorn:
Those born during these years (2008-2023) struggle to transform corruption, greed, and the control of power and natural resources in the world around them. Large, impersonal institutions and the heavy handed authoritarianism that breaks them up will be challenged by these children as they grow up. They will be profoundly influenced by witnessing the way power is wielded by their fathers and other authorities they encounter. Cynicism and upheaval may result if integrity, wisdom, and a positive use of masculine strength is not modeled for these children.
