Every mama out there dreams of what their child will be like when they’re born — will they be sweet? Will they sleep? Some believe you can actually turn to their Zodiac sign to know what time of newborn you’ll have — if nothing else, it’s a fun way to wait for Baby! We’ve got all the deets on what you can expect from your little one…based on their due date!
THE SIGNS AND THEIR TRAITS
AQUARIUS (THE WATER BEARER) : JANUARY 20 – FEBRUARY 18
Your Aquarius baby will come out as a real Baby Genius! Inherently intelligent and quick to pick up on things, you’ll have your hands full with this sweet one! They are also very social, and will be attracted to new people and faces. Expect for some eccentricities: Aquarius babies prefer to be unique!
PISCES (THE FISH) : FEBRUARY 19 – MARCH 20
Pisces babies are naturally old souls — they will have a wisdom about them from day one. They grow to have vivid imaginations and will be very creative. But watch out! They can get pretty bossy, too — they might try to tell you what to do, Mama!
ARIES (THE RAM) : MARCH 21 – APRIL 19
Aries babies are naturally quiet and self-possessed. And congrats, Mama, you have a STAR on your hands! Your Aries baby will be naturally drawn to the spotlight and attention!
TAURUS (THE BULL): APRIL 20 – MAY 20
If you have a Taurus baby coming, Mama, you’re in luck! These little ones love a good nap, so sleep should come easy! Taurus also rules over the five senses, so when Baby has a feeling, they really feel it! They are otherwise quiet, sweet, and mild mannered.
GEMINI (THE TWINS) : MAY 21 – JUNE 20
Talk about a chatty cathy! Gemini is ruled by the communication planet, Mercury, so even before they know words, your little one will love babbling away! Gemini is another Baby Einstein — they’ll likely pick up a talent or skill (like reading or speaking) much earlier than their peers. And get ready to babyproof — Geminis are very curious!
CANCER (THE CRAB) : JUNE 21 – JULY 22
Expect to have a very strong bond with your little one if they’re a Cancer! They are very attached to that maternal feeling, and have a real need for nurturing. They can be a little sensitive and moody, but are so family oriented you’ll love all the snuggles you’re about to get!
LEO (THE LION) : JULY 23 – AUGUST 22
Smile, Baby! Leos are very happy-go-lucky babies that have a flair for the dramatic! Expect lots of smiles, outgoing babbling, and pretty dramatic temper tantrums. You’ll also have fun trying to keep up — Leos have a lot of energy and really love to play!
VIRGO (THE VIRGIN) : AUGUST 23 – SEPTEMBER 22
Set those schedules and routines now, Mama! Virgos are very particular about what they like and dislike, and much prefer structure to chaos. Keep your nursery very neutral — Baby won’t take too kindly to distractions or busy decor. But make no mistake, your Virgo baby won’t be all routine — they love to embrace their mischievous streak, too!
LIBRA (THE SCALES) : SEPTEMBER 23 – OCTOBER 22
Libra babies are incredibly sweet, charming, and loving! They crave affection, reassurance of love, and give it back in spades. Hand them a paintbrush early, Mama, these babies are born for creativity!
SCORPIO (THE SCORPION) : OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 21
You’re about to have your hands full, Mama! Scorpio babies tend to be real spitfires, with a lot of attitude, but also a lot of talent to match! Expect your little one to be on the introvert side, as they can be incredibly sensitive and intuitive.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 – DECEMBER 21): THE ARCHER
Look out world, here comes Baby! Sagittarius babies love to explore, and will love traveling from day one! They are very smiley and curious, but make sure to give them their space — despite their outgoing and social personality, they need their space more than other little ones.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 19): THE GOAT
Trust us when we say you won’t spend much time disciplining this little one! Capricorn babies are veryresponsible, and hard enough on themselves to keep you from needing to do much! They’ll be huge perfectionists, but are hugely family-oriented. Give your little one structure and family time from the very beginning — not much will make them happier!
So tell us, Mamas, what kind of baby are you expecting on D-Day?
