Must-Have Products Based on Your Baby’s Zodiac Sign

ARIES (Element: fire) (March 21 – April 19)

One of the many reasons Aries is special is because it’s the first sign of the zodiac. If you’re expecting an Aries, know that they’re likely to be independent and a bit fiery, says KJ Atlas, an astrologer. Represented by the wilful ram, Aries are known for being passionate, vibrant, and opinionated. Must-haves include products that will help soothe headstrong outbursts, as well as anything that acknowledges their courageous nature.

TAURUS (Element: earth) (April 20 - May 20)

The second sign in the zodiac is represented by the bull, but Taurus babies aren’t known for being unruly. Instead, they’re more likely to be pleasure-focused thanks to their ruling planet, Venus. The way to please a Taurus baby is to ensure they’re happy and comfy in their environment. “They might especially enjoy soft fabrics and soothing scents,” says Lauren Donelson Jones, LFMTA, an astrologer and psychotherapist. ”Many Taurus babies love music, so sing to your baby or play music for them often.” Another pro tip: Put a plant in their nursery. “Taurus babies love feeling close to nature and find it very comforting,” Donelson Jones adds.

GEMINI (Element: air) (May 21 - June 20)

Known as the chattiest sign in the zodiac, Gemini babies are often social butterflies. Represented by twins, they thrive on excitement, spontaneity and close relationships. “A Gemini baby will probably coo and caa earlier than others because a Gemini needs to communicate and connect, even if they can’t talk yet,” Atlas explains. “Talk to them and read them books to get them ahead of the game. They’re very observant and will pick up on your behavior and words quickly.”

CANCER (Element: water) (June 21 - July 22)

Cancer babies are known for big feelings. Represented by the crab, they can be tough on the outside but major softies on the inside. You can expect lots of snuggles and sweetness, but also high sensitivity. “Cancerians often process any emotion by crying it all out,” Donelson Jones says.

LEO (Element: fire) (July 23 - August 22)

“Leo babies are easy to spot because they’re very smiley and happy with big personalities,” Atlas explains. Represented by the lion, Leos are born performers with confidence and charisma to spare. “A Leo can be a drama queen or king in the best way,” Atlas adds. “You might start to notice they can cry on command when it gets them what they want.”

VIRGO (Element: earth) (August 23 - September 22)

Virgos are known for being perfectionists, and in babies, that manifests as being particular. “Have you ever seen a kid who needs the seam of their sock to be perfectly straight on their toes? That will be your little Virgo baby,” Polinksy says. Virgos, ruled by the planet Mercury, adore routines and organization. Sensory overload can also be an issue for Virgos according to Polinsky, so keep things calm and quiet when they seem overwhelmed.

LIBRA (Element: air) (September 23-October 22)

Since Libra is represented by scales, it makes sense that baby Libras love balance and harmony. Because of that, their surroundings are especially important. “Create a calm, clean, and aesthetically pleasing environment for your Libra baby, and the rest will be smooth sailing,” says Jennifer Neville, an astrologer and tarot reader.

SCORPIO (Element: water) (October 23 - November 21)

Scorpios have a rep for being sensitive and mysterious, but they’re also ambitious and creative. “Scorpios are the little detectives of the zodiac,” Polinsky says. They’re especially likely to love puzzles and problem-solving baby toys, she adds. “They need independence and an ability to express their individuality. Let them make a choice and give them the space to choose.”

SAGITTARIUS (Element: fire) (November 22 - December 21)

Symbolized by the archer, Sagittarians are ruled by Jupiter. Like some of the other signs, they can be fiercely independent, Atlas says. “Sagittarius is probably one to walk earlier than other signs, so give them space to get moving early!”

CAPRICORN (Element: earth) (December 22 - January 19)

“If you’re having a Capricorn baby, realize that you have a new boss in your life—and it isn’t you,” Polinksy says. “Capricorns are leaders from the moment they’re born, and they want to be in charge.” Ruled by Saturn, Capricorns are practical high-achievers who will impress you with their smarts. In baby terms, that means your little goat will probably do well with structure and order.

AQUARIUS (Element: air) (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarians tend to be free-thinkers who value community. When it comes to raising an Aquarian, “it takes a village” is an apt saying, Polinsky notes, because they like to feel supported, safe and secure. And since they’re often futuristic in their thinking as they grow up, technology is extremely important to Aquarians. “High-tech baby gadgets can go a long way,” Polinsky says. One more tip: “Play groups and classes will help bring out their community nature.”

PISCES (Element: water) (February 19 - March 20)

“Pisces are extremely intuitive and creative little ones,” Polinsky shares. That means they’ll love lots of inventive play, imagination and fairytales. “The more arts and crafts, coloring, music and dance they experience the more they can truly create the world that is within them.” Water is also super important to this sign, which is represented by a fish. “Bath time, swim lessons and walks near streams will greatly soothe a Pisces.”
