The Capricorn Child
Capricorns are the zodiac's old souls, so your baby may arrive in the world with a furrowed
brow and a wizened expression. Disciplining this baby won't be too hard: these responsible
kids love to make Mommy and Daddy proud. Rather, the challenge may be in getting little
Caps to cut themselves some slack. They are born with a perfectionist streak, and may even
rip up their drawings if they don't look like Crayola masterpieces. Start socializing them early
with a good crowd of kids: this sign hangs on to childhood friends for life and may even wind up
marrying their first loves. An unstable early home life or changing schools regularly can turn
them into loners and misfits. Family-oriented, they will love celebrating traditions with relatives.
A weekly family night and a set schedule of chores will give them the solid base they need to
excel in the world.
The Aquarius Child
Aquarians are the "Baby Einsteins" of the zodiac, born with a touch of genius
and a daredevil streak to match. Start socializing your Aquarius with peers early;
this popular sign will crave the company of lots of friends. These kids can be a bit
eccentric and offbeat. They may surprise you with bizarre comments or quirky habits.
Your best bet is to enjoy the show. They'll only rebel if you try to tame their antics.
Generous with siblings, they hate to see anyone treated unfairly. They'll stick up for
the underdog and fight for the rights of their peer group. Get them involved with scouting,
sports or a community service club at an early age to encourage their sense of humanitarianism
and team spirit.
The Aries Child
Aries babies often come into the world quiet and self-possessed.
Then, one day, they discover their vocal chords and out come the
showstoppers. Get the sparkly costumes ready: your Aries may beg
to audition for the kids' episode of "Star Search" Even if they don't
have aspirations for the limelight, they will still need plenty of attention,
especially from their favorite adult. Because Aries is a masculine sign,
many of them tend to favor their fathers. Active and energetic, you'll
have to keep an eye on them when they first learn to walk or they could
dash right out the front door. They are also accident-prone and may bump
their heads more easily than other kids. Childproofing the house is essential.
When it comes to eating, Aries is picky, preferring to eat the same food over
and over for days.
The Pisces Child
Pisces babies are old souls, born with wise and knowing personalities. Their eyes
may be dreamy, but they see everything that's going on. Perhaps that's why so
many of the zodiac's fishies grow up to make excellent visual artists, engineers, and
photographers. Care taking Pisces can be a bit bossy with their peers. With their rich
imaginations, they'll make up games for everyone to play, but they may feel hurt if certain
kids don't want to join in the fun. If there is tension on the home front or with peers, your Pisces
may even become a bully. Creative and compassionate, they may get swept away by emotion
at the expense of common sense. Having clear, firmly enforced rules at home will help Pisces
navigate through life without falling under the spell of a troubled peer.
The Taurus Child
No need to rock this baby to sleep. This is a kid who has turned napping into
an art form. Taurus rules the five senses, so when they are hungry, tired, or
ready to play, be prepared. Otherwise, they're likely start screaming and
shouting to get your attention. Generally, their disposition is sweet and leisurely.
Ruled by lovely Venus, these dimpled tykes are born contenders for Cutest Baby
competitions. They love getting dressed up: bring on the sailor suits and frilly
dresses. Though they can be counted on to keep their clothes neat, the baby
bull has a rough-and-tumble streak as well. With their tiny fists and feet, they
love to punch, hit and kick. Give them soft or inflatable toys so no one winds up
black-and-blue.
The Gemini Child
Congratulations! You've just given birth to a real, live Baby Einstein. Gemini kids
are all born with a touch of genius to them. They may exhibit an early musical gift,
talk or read before other kids, or have a rare ability that makes them contenders
for "America's Got Talent." Whatever the case, life won't be dull when a Gemini baby
is crawling around the house. Naturally curious, they'll want to touch everything in
sight. Extra baby-proofing is a good idea; cover up those electrical outlets! Ruled by
the communication planet Mercury these chatty kids may talk to themselves or an
imaginary friend, and in some cases might even develop their own language before
learning to speak their parents' tongue.
The Cancer Child
Can you say ma-ma? Cancer is the sign associated with mother-child relationships,
so these babies are strongly affected by "maternal energy." This could also be
interpreted as a need for nurturing. No matter who their primary caretaker is, these
kids will likely be attached to them at the hip. Ruled by the ever-fluctuating moon, these
kids can be moody and may cry a lot as infants. Since Cancer rules the chest area, weaning
them from the breast-feeding days can be challenging. These sensitive kids are "emotional
eaters" and like to put things in their mouths when they're feeling anxious or in unfamiliar
terrain. They may be soothed with a bottle or snack. If you don't want to be on constant
diaper duty, try giving them a security blanket like a doll or teddy bear that they can hug.
Family-oriented, they may feel shy around new people. Be prepared: these kids may cry and
scream if someone they aren't familiar with (like a family friend or babysitter) tries to pick
them up. In school or public, they are well mannered and enjoy dressing fashionably, even
as toddlers!
The Leo Child
Leo babies are generally happy, smiley, and outgoing. They are also the sign that rules drama,
so when the temper tantrums do come, look out! These kids love to play, be it a board game,
dolls, tag, running around with pets or on a computer. As long as they can be creative and free,
they are happy. They love bright colors and sounds. Paint their rooms in vivid hues and set up
the musical mobiles. Warning: don't buy too many "noisemaker" toys unless you want to wind
up with a migraine! This sign loves to please, so once they find out what makes the adults coo
over them, out comes the show-off streak. Getting them to sleep won't be easy. These tykes
have energy to burn and love to stay up all night singing and chatting. Enroll them in a drama,
dance or gymnastics class early to channel their theatrical talents into a productive outlet.
The Virgo Child
Virgo babies are particular: they know what they like and will definitely let you know what they
DON'T like, especially when it comes to food. Since this sign rules the digestive system, your
Virgo may need a special diet or be a bit of a finicky eater. Creatures of habit, these babies do
best with a set routine and schedule. No need to OD on the loud mobiles and pictures of bunnies
and duckies on the wall. Virgos are neat freaks and will prefer simple surroundings without a lot
of distractions. Play soft soothing music and decorate in whites. Ruled by communication planet
Mercury, many Virgos read or speak early. Give them lots of books and puzzles to play with. While
they may look innocent, they may develop a mischievous streak as they get bigger. Distract them
with crafts and model kits. Working with their hands can absorb them for hours.
The Libra Child
Get the camera ready. Sweet and charming Libras are picture-perfect babies. They'll smile, coo,
and show off their dimples for anyone who cares to fawn over them. If ever there was a sign that
needed to be reminded, "don't talk to strangers," it's the Libra kid. As toddlers, they need lots of
affection from their favorite adults and may annoy quieter siblings with their constant demands
for attention. Libra is the sign that rules marriage so divorce or the loss of a parent can hit them
harder than most. They need to be reminded that they are loved over and over again. Without that
reassurance, they may become brooding or hardened, like Libra Eminem whose angry songs about
his mother have been heard around the world. Symbolized by the scales of justice, little Libra is keenly
aware of right and wrong. Their sense of balance and harmony makes them highly creative.
The Scorpio Child
Scorpio babies are quite the firecrackers, born with tons of talent, and attitude to match. Brooding
and intense one minute, smiling irresistibly the next, they'll have you wrapped around their tiny little
fingers. They tend to be introverts, so don't be surprised if your Scorpio prefers to play alone for hours
or only enjoys the company of one favorite friend or sibling. They are deeply sensitive but tend to hold
in their feelings. If your Scorpio is being excessively quiet (or giving you the silent treatment), sit down
for a judgment-free talk and let your kid tell you what's going on. They can be remarkably intuitive, and
you may just learn something new about yourself in the process!
The Sagittarius Child
Get the stroller primed and ready. Baby Sagittarius is the zodiac's traveler and will be ready to explore
the world from day one. These smiley little clowns will delight in discovering new things. Keep your
valuables out of reach and out of sight, or Sag will soon be chewing on them. Independent and outgoing,
this social sign thrives when surrounded by kids their age. Smothering them with affection or watching
their every move will cause them to pull away from you. Give them their space, but check in on them
regularly. If you set them up in the sandbox or with sports equipment they'll happily play for hours with
their peers. They also love to learn, so give them plenty of books and educational toys. Don't be surprised
if your Sag talks early and uses big words that make your jaw drop.
