Love

A new romance or a child.

Work

A new role on a small scale.

Money

A small amount to start.

Health

New routines, recovery beginning. This is not medical advice.

Shadow

Naivety, immaturity, a start never finished.

By age

child	The child themselves.
young	A fresh start.
adult	A small new venture.
mature	A new beginning.
elder	Renewal, a young person.

As a house

Child is also the 13th house: beginnings and small things. Its question is What is beginning, and how small is the first step?. Wherever it falls in the tableau, that area of life is being described.
