Your baby's horoscope
Will a Gemini baby be talking early? Probably. How about that Aquarius baby already playing with mummy's computer? Hey, she's a born techie!
The Stars can offer valuable insights into even the youngest minds. Scan the profiles to see whether your baby might be the next Prime Minister (if she's a Leo, she might be) or a captain of industry (that's a Capricorn's lot). Better yet, read up on whether or not your baby will cry all night (afraid that's Cancer for you). You'll even find feeding tips. Sheesh, those Stars are smart!
Aries
The Rambo of the playgroup has arrived! With an Aries baby around, you can expect lots of action and activity in your midst. Don't expect this tot to sit still with a rattle - it just won't happen.
The Aries baby is one who makes a lot of noise and will definitely be heard. There's really no choice! As a Fire sign, the little Ram will be dynamic and always up to something. Will this be a tough baby to deal with? More than likely. To that end, parents would be wise to show this child how to work with other babies early on. Things such as sharing won't come naturally - they must be learned. And getting an Aries child to fit in with siblings is another story!
What the Aries baby may want most of all, however, is attention, so parents be warned! In a play setting, the Aries tot will easily get the attention of others on their own. This baby will also start many things early, the better to get to the finish line first. To sum up, the Aries baby can be quite independent but enjoys interacting with others. This baby is a fairly physical child and craves constant stimulation. They will be raring to go from the second they are born!
Taurus
Parents of a Taurus tot are going to have to be very sensitive to this baby's need to be touched. Loving caresses and a tender touch are what the Taurus baby lives for! This is a child who needs to be comfortable. Things to keep in mind are providing a room and bed that are neither too hot nor too cold, food that is tasty (a budding gourmet has arrived!), soothing sounds, and whimsical toys.
As Taurus rules the Second House, the House of Possessions, this baby's playthings will be very important. When it comes to the learning curve, the Taurus baby is not in a hurry to grasp new concepts. This tot will learn things at their own pace and be unresponsive to pressure, yet persevering in the end. In light of this, a gentle manner to get this baby to react and respond is the sensible course of action.
The Taurus baby will enjoy having the family close by, especially siblings. You can consider this baby a people person in general; they are also likely to control the play circle where that well-known Taurean stubbornness will reveal itself! To sum up, the Taurus baby wants to be touched, will revel in delicious toys and, as an Earth Sign, will want to have both feet firmly planted on the ground!
Gemini
Eager to get going (this baby probably kicked up a storm in the womb!), the Gemini baby is likely to be talking early and making a mark from day one. Curious and quite the explorer, this tot is one who needs lots of stimuli in order to be happy, as they are easily bored. Since those communication skills are top-notch, the smart thing to do with this baby is bring them into a playgroup as soon as possible. At home, siblings can easily fill this function, as someone must! It's never too early for the Gemini baby to interact with others, and they will also learn their lessons early on.
The Gemini tot is definitely not clingy. It's quite the opposite - this is one baby who is happy to march to their own beat, gallivanting about and keeping themselves amused in the process. Surprisingly, when this baby is not engaged in chatting or playing with others, there could be a certain emotional detachment. For that reason, it's best to keep things uncomplicated and easy for them to understand, the better to maintain harmony. To sum up, the Gemini baby is the Great Communicator of the playgroup, has a short attention span (so keep 'em busy!), and is one clever and creative tot.
Cancer
As a Water sign, the Cancer baby is likely to be more emotional than most. In a word: tears! This baby will probably cry a fair bit, so holding and touching are of paramount importance - or anything to achieve comfort. Along these same lines, this is a baby who needs to feel secure and will easily pick up any bad vibes in the household. Therefore, arguing in the presence of this child should be kept to a minimum.Family is very important to the Cancer baby, as is nurturing. As Cancer is the sign of the Mother, the elements of nurturing, family and mood swings (think sensitivity and emotions) are highlighted. Also, because Cancer is the sign of Memory, the Cancer baby will retain memories from the past, both good and bad. This is a child who could get lost in the supermarket for two minutes and forever remember it as a sign of rejection from the mother! For this reason and others, this tot needs to be made to feel secure, especially within the family unit (family will always be more important to the Cancer baby than friends). The somewhat reticent Cancer baby will nonetheless surprise Mum and Dad by being fussy about food, so be sure to please that palate! To sum up, the Cancer baby is familial, must feel protected, and with any kind of luck, will learn to swim like a fish!
