Parenting Product Must-Haves Based on Your Zodiac Sign

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

The first sign of the zodiac, Aries is represented by the headstrong ram. Known for being fiery and intense, Aries parents sometimes struggle with patience, Bristol says. Because of that, you want to be on the lookout for anything that can help you feel cool and collected in the face of a fussy baby. At the same time, Aries are often super optimistic and enthusiastic. Another plus: You may also find it easier to bond with your baby since Aries tend to be children at heart.

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

“Taurus is good with money and usually a good cook,” says KJ Atlas, an astrologer. Those are both great qualities in a parent. But more than that, Tauruses have a special talent for creating a stable, reliable and-ultra comfy home life. One potential snag is that Taurus parents may play it too safe, Atlas says. It can sometimes feel hard to add spontaneity to life with a new baby, but remember it’s okay to have fun and play!

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

Represented by twins, Geminis can be fun, exciting, spontaneous and funny. Relationships are super important to Geminis, and they tend to be quite chatty and open. “All of those traits make them wonderful parents,” Bristol says. One potential challenge is that, because their minds run at a million miles a minute, Geminis may be more prone to anxiety. Products that help you keep tabs on your babe’s happiness and safety will be a win.

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

With a strong sense of intuition, Cancers are often some of the most confident parents out there. They’re also highly emotional since they’re ruled by the moon, which is the fastest moving planetary body in the solar system, astrologer Atlas points out. That often means your mood can shift quickly and without warning. “As new parents, Cancers have strong nurturing qualities and can sense what their babies need right away,” Atlas adds. But keep an eye out: Cancers are also natural born givers, so be sure to tend to your own needs too.

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

“Leos are born to be parents. They love love, as they are true romantics,” Bristol says. Fun fact: Leo rules the 5th House of fun and children. “So hey, they would know a thing or two!” Plus Leos have a flair for drama and role play, which makes you a pro at finding creative ways to entertain your baby. Represented by the lion, Leos tend to love to be the center of attention, so get ready to enjoy sharing the spotlight with your little cub.

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

Known for being prepared, organized and incredible problem-solvers, Virgos have this whole parenting thing down. “They thrive on systems and putting things in order,” Atlas says. Of course, perfection isn’t attainable, so it’s important to remember there are times when you’ll have to let go of control. “Don’t be afraid to ask for help and at the very least, receive support when it’s offered,” Atlas advises.

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

Libras are represented by the scales, so it makes sense that they love balance. Ruled by the planet Venus, Libras look to achieve harmony in all areas, but especially their relationships and environment. “They’re also very much attuned to the feelings of others before they think about themselves,” Bristol says. “That’s helpful because they can easily project what a newborn needs once they pick up on the baby’s cues.” Libras also tend to be very polite, so they may find it difficult being out and about with a baby who is making a scene, and or find it harder to ask for or accept help.

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

Scorpios are super driven, which means when you put your mind to something, it usually happens. “Sometimes they can even default to extremes,” Atlas explains. “For example, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that a new Scorpio parent took a cross country trip that involves something extreme in the first few weeks after birth.” That’s just how you are, which is awesome. That said, remember to take a pause and rest when you need to!

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

Sagittarius is the sign of adventure, optimism and travel. As a parent, you’re likely to bring your kids along wherever you go rather than opt out of your usual escapades. You probably also value multicultural experiences, whether that means exposing your bundle of joy to new locales or reading to them in a second language. Represented by the archer, Sagittarians can use their words like an arrow. Bluntness is sometimes a good quality with kids, but it can also be a challenge, so choose your words wisely!

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

Ruled by Uranus, Aquarians tend to be free, innovative and a little eccentric—in a good way! “These parents have a solution for every problem,” Neville says. And when tech can help solve the issue, even better. One of the best qualities an Aquarius can pass on to their baby is individuality, Neville says. “As a rebel of the zodiac, you are here to teach your young one not to conform to the status quo, and to help them develop their own personal uniqueness.”
