How do I know my newborn baby’s horoscope?

Babies’ horoscope signs are determined by the date on which they’re born.

Whether they’re a roaring Leo, an intense Scorpio, or a water-baby Aquarius (more on these later) you might already notice patterns in your little one’s likes, dislikes, and reactions that will follow them for their whole life.

Astrologists determine your baby’s horoscope (which is basically a forecast for their future) based on their zodiac sign and the alignment of the sun, moon, and planets on their birth date.

They do this using a baby birth chart, or an astrological chart which shows how everything in the sky is lining up.

Why should I know my baby’s zodiac sign?

It’s completely normal for parents to be surprised by some aspects of their baby’s personality.

Why are they the life and soul of the party while you’re an introvert at heart?

And will your nap-refusing baby channel their stubbornness into something more helpful when they grow up (please)?

Some people say that your baby’s astrological sign can give you the answers.

After all, if you have the inside track on where your child is coming from, what their strengths are, and the areas where they might need a bit more guidance, you might be able to understand their behavior and communicate better as you navigate their childhood together.

So let’s get down to business, sign by sign.

Children’s Zodiac Sign Guide

Aquarius ♒

January 21 – February 19:
Social, friendly, inquisitive, and curious

If you’ve got an Aquarian baby, they’ll love meeting new people and exploring new places. You may need an extra cup of coffee, though, as Aquarius babies are easily bored and don’t like to slow down for anything.

Pisces ♓

February 20 – March 20:
Imaginative, artistic, sensitive, and maybe even a future romantic

Your thoughtful Piscean baby might feel a little moody or nervous sometimes, but they’ll come out of their shell when they’re close to the people they love.

Aries ♈

March 21 – April 20:
Impulsive, competitive, generous, and probably loud

Your Aries baby might hit their milestones before other little ones their age. If you can keep up with them, they might benefit from some help in understanding that teamwork makes the dream work.

Taurus ♉

April 20 – May 20:
Stubborn, tenacious, calm, and grounded

Taurus babies are as solid as the bull that represents them. There’s also a chance your little Taurean might be musical – Adele, Bono, Kelly Clarkson, Stevie Wonder, Enrique Iglesias, and Cher are just some of the celebrities who share this sign.

Gemini ♊

May 21 – June 20:
Friendly, outgoing, creative, and very talkative

Whether you’ve got one baby or Gemini twins, they’ll be most at home in a crowd. You just might need to remind them to stay focused, especially when it comes to making big decisions.

Cancer ♋

June 21 – July 22:
Sensitive, compassionate, loving, and self-assured

Cancer is a zodiac sign that values closeness and emotion. Kids with this sign might be shy at first and need encouragement to explore. But, if they feel supported, they will grow up into some of the best friends anyone could wish for.

Leo ♌

July 23 – August 22:
Charismatic, confident, loyal, and a born performer

Baby Leos love to be the center of attention. But even if they have the charm and energy of a rockstar, it can be easy to hurt their feelings. If you channel their energy and show them how to be resilient, there’s no knowing where life might take them.

Virgo ♍

August 23 – September 22:
Caring, analytical, detail-oriented, and smart

Virgo babies might enjoy problem-solving and pick up skills such as reading and writing before their peers. Though they can sometimes be over-analytical, they’ll usually enjoy using their insights to help those around them.

Libra ♎

September 23 – October 22:
Sociable, artistic, fun, and a natural-born peacemaker

Your little Libra’s sense of humor should make it easy for them to find playmates, but their natural tendency to avoid conflict and weigh up all their options might mean that it takes them a while to figure out what they want.

Scorpio ♏

October 23 – November 21:
Loyal, intense, brave, and bold

Scorpio kids feel deeply and might be sensitive to your moods. Strangely, though, they may need extra encouragement to talk about their own feelings.

Sagittarius ♐

November 22 – December 21:
Entertaining, energetic, outspoken, and a lifelong traveler

Sagittarian babies often grow up to be the class clown. You may have a hard time getting them to focus when they’re older and they don’t usually come with a verbal filter, but you’ll always have an adventure buddy.

Capricorn ♑

December 22 – January 19:
Practical, disciplined, hardworking, and big-hearted

Capricorns know what they want and what they need to do to get it. Capricorn babies like consistency, and appreciate having room to be independent, but they might need some extra time and support as they prepare for any big life changes.

Which Zodiac sign is the youngest?

When astrologists talk about signs being old or young, they mean that people born under that sign have either “young” or “old” souls.

Younger signs are associated with a carefree attitude and older signs with wisdom and compassion.

Is your toddler especially contemplative and thoughtful? It might be because they have an “older” zodiac sign.

Aries is traditionally the youngest sign, and Pisces is one of the oldest.

What sign is childish?

Well, let’s put it this way: it can be hard to convince a Gemini to take something seriously; Pisceans lead from the heart and get lost in their imaginations, and Aries and Cancer signs are associated with toddler-level tantrums, even as adults.

The flip side? While these childish signs come with some “immature” personality traits, they also live their whole lives with the energy and warm-heartedness of little kids.

What’s the best astrological sign for a baby?

There’s no such thing as the perfect baby zodiac sign.

Your baby is your baby.

Whether you get on as harmoniously as a hardworking Taurus and Capricorn, or butt heads like a peacemaking Virgo and an outspoken Sagittarius, you guys were meant for each other, and you’re going to make it work.
