I don't all the "tricks" with this but this is mainly what I look for: aspects with personal planets, especially Sun and moon with Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and sometimes Pluto in the other chart. Neptune, not so much, but sometimes, especially if teh family is very creative/artistic, or very dysfunctional (in particular alcholism or drug abuse). You're looking at generation-crossing influences that get passed on from parent to child, both good and bad. Good contacts between the personal planets in both charts, if not challenged harshly by aspects with Jup, Sat or the outer planets, seem to often indicate that the child and parent will bond more like friends as the child grows, sort of a la Gilmour Girls.
Some themes I've noticed:
Saturn (good contacts): one is more of a teacher, usually the parent, but sometimes the child teaches the parent
Saturn (hard aspects): emtionally strained and/ or distant, in very bad cases, problems with severe discipline/control, harsh criticism, disapproval/rejection, andemotional, verbal, and physical abuse/neglect, deep resentments
Jupiter (good aspects): strong family bond, an eagerness to help and encourage, easy expression of feelings and desires
Jupiter (hard aspects): choatic family situation, a sense of not connecting with each other, difficulty understanding
Uranus (good aspects): openness, fair discipline, acceptence
Uranus (hard aspects): arguing, lack of structure in family, lack of discipline or erratic discipline, difficulty expressing emotions/forming emotional bonds
Pluto (good aspects): a lot of personal changes and growth from the child-parent relationships, frequent changes to living situation, psychic connections
Pluto (hard aspects): arguing and possible violence, resistance to change when needed, and in very bad cases, physical and sexual abuse, severe discipline/control, deep psychological injury
