Busy and versatile, you have no problem with the multi-tasking nature of motherhood. Though you can’t wait until your child starts talking, you’re content to try non-verbal communication until that happy day arrives.

Leo

You are the kind of mum who remembers what it’s like to be a child and know how to awaken your children’s natural creativity and playfulness. Your pride in your children is substantial and you want them to strive to be their best. Try to moderate any 'stage-mother' tendencies you might have, as this will only create unnecessary drama.

Scorpio

You command your whole family. You run a tight ship, guiding your family into perfection. You're intense and powerful, however with your vision of perfection you can find it hard to compromise, all meals have to be organic, home schooling is best, after school clubs three times a week, its all part of your utopian vision. Your children will benefit from your drive and determination, but remember as much as you rule the roost and your family respect you, sometimes giving way a little on some issues can help those around you feel calmer and happier.

As a mother, one of your top priorities is education, so you are constantly exposing your children to new ideas, places and people. You know how to have a good time with your kids and love to take them on adventures. If you can integrate stability into the mix, this will help to keep them balanced and grounded.

Aquarius

You have a quirky and offbeat mothering style and are able to approach your children as individuals. You may especially thrive as a mother when they reach adolescence, since this is an age that you particularly understand. Though you may be an eccentric mother, you are always fun and interesting.

Pisces

You have an intuitive approach to mothering and seem to know exactly what your children are feeling. Since it’s important for you to periodically have time to escape, you may sometimes get overwhelmed by too much activity and need to take a time out from your responsibilities.
