Your Magical Child
by Maria Kay Simms

Buy a Personalized Signed Copy

This book has everything you need to understand babies and children astrologically! A magical world view, common sense from practical experience and astrology are combined to help you understand the special needs of your child -- how each child is born with magically unique qualities and a special individual style. Here you will discover how you, as a parent, can be the "adept"-supporting and encouraging your little "natural magician" toward the highest and happiest expression of his or her potential. Your Magical Child will help you improve relationship dynamics between yourself and your child -- and it can help give you greater insight into yourself through considering your own "inner child," too!

Your Magical Child
Cover painting by Molly A. Sullivan,
daughter of the author and owner of Starcrafts. Portrait of Molly's sister Shannon
and her niece, Tessa.
With a nurturing, loving touch, laced with personal anecdotes from her experiences as a parent, step-parent, grandparent and school teacher, Maria Kay Simms encourages your insight and understanding to empower your child toward fulfillment in his or her own "magical" style. She begins by saying that she believes in magic --

"…in the miracle of life, and in the power of mind and soul for creative change and growth. Through the mind and soul, you can be whatever and wherever you truly want to be. You can accomplish things that others -- and perhaps even previously yourself -- might call improbable…impossible…coincidence…luck. And yet there you are. What was only a thought has become a reality."


Endorsements; reviews:

This is a helpful book for almost anyone who deals with kids or with their own inner child; an unusually effective blend of insightful psychology, astrology and common sense.

—Zipporah Dobyns, Ph.D., astrologer, author of Exploring Astrology's Universe and many other titles

Maria Kay Simms has written the only book I have seen so far which really bridges that wide gap between the blank page of what a baby has the potential to become, and the already partially filled pages of the adult who usually consults with an astrologer…written for the layman, as well as those already versed in astrology…All in all, this is the book you've been waiting for if you deal with children on a professional or personal basis.

—Marion D. March, author of The Only Way to Learn Astrology series, excerpt from review in Aspects Magazine.

…Your Magical Child begins with the perspective that babies are inherently magical beings. With the right assistance form parents, they can learn how to use their minds and souls for creative growth and change -- in essence to realize and fulfill their own destiny…designed for beginners…clearly written text…makes it evident that astrology is a method of seeing that part of your child which can't be explained by hereditary or environmental factors…the parent is given a unique set of tools to assist the child in becoming a healthy, happy and successful human being. One of the best chapters for parents is the section on the inner child…when your adult composure and best intentions are overcome by emotional stress, the little kid inside you can scream and cry out, act impulsively, or say things which hurt others and which you may later regret. If this is a problem for you, then Your Magical Child may also be a handy way of discovering your own child-magician who's just waiting to be recognized. And when this happens, who knows what powers may be released, and what you can accomplish?

—Chris Lorenz, Dell Horoscope, April '95

Written for the astrologically uninitiated as well as for the well-versed, this book for parents presents impressive psychological insight and common sense within its astrological guidance. Concentrating on the parent-child relationship, the author focuses on helping parents encourage the most magical, wondrous expression of their child's potential…
