About Maria Riegger: Maria Riegger is based in the Washington, DC area. She is a banking/corporate attorney by day (but please don't hold that against her), and an author and practicing astrologer by night.

Maria is a Gemini whose head has always been in the clouds. From a young age, she was scolded for not paying attention. When she was bored, she would make up stories in her head. She has been writing since she was about thirteen years old.

A rocky childhood, including the death of a parent, led Maria to consider how to be a better parent in a crazy world. In short, more laughs and positive connections and less dictating and criticizing. Parents can learn to parent with the child's unique needs in mind, rather than their own ego needs.

An irreverent Gen X’er, in addition to parenting and astrology books, Maria writes gritty contemporary romance and romantic suspense, with plenty of sarcasm.

 

In this episode, Kim Andryc, Lora Solomon, and Maria Riegger discuss:

• How astrology can help you in understanding yourself as well as your interactions with the world and those around you. 
• Building connections with your children and strengthening that relationship through the astrological lens. 
• Your role as a parent in your child’s life. 
• Advice for blended families. 

 

Key Takeaways:

• You are important because you are a human being. Not because of any achievement, sign, personality, or anything else. 
• Regardless of what your day job is, you can embrace your creative desires in other aspects of your life and explore that creative side of yourself. 
• Your child needs at least one person always in their corner advocating for them - as the parent, that ideally would be you. It is more important to your child than you know.
• Trust and respect are earned over time with all children.

"You cannot be afraid about making people uncomfortable, especially if it's about protecting your child and your child's interests." — Maria Riegger
