Your Child's Horoscope by Melissa Lau

The Aquarius Child
January 20 - February 18

Your child is patient, faithful and very kind. He is extremely intelligent and uses that intelligence to create daily adventures for himself. Chances are that he is not a mild-mannered child, content to sit sweetly by your side, calmly coloring in is color books. He's more of the action-packed fun-filled adventure-loving best friend to all children and animals!

The hardest thing about parenting an Aquarius child is understanding their love of independence, especially in the early years. Parents might also find it tough dealing with their stubbornness and their need for routines. Aquarius kids are known for their little routines that they hate to have broken.

Your Acquarian child is talented in many areas and will be succeed in scientific research, executive management and sales. Due to his gregarious ways, he will be able to sell anything to anyone and will be well liked in social circles.

The Pisces Child
February 19- March 20

Your Pisces child is gentle, good natured, kind and compassionate, sensitive to the feelings of those around them, and respond with the utmost sympathy and tact to any suffering they encounter. Pisces is considered a dual sign: one fish battling odds and swimming upstream and the other fish drifting along with the current.

Pisces children love peace and strongly dislike an inharmonious atmosphere filled with discordant voices. They accept the people around them and the circumstances in which they find themselves rather than trying to adapt them to suit themselves and they patiently wait for problems to sort themselves out rather than take the initiative in solving them. They are more readily concerned with the problems of others than with their own. March children should cultivate the spiritual part of their nature. They must be taught to search for facts and come to conclusions - to learn to trust their instincts and premonitions.

This sign claims writers, poets, idealists, religious leaders, doctors, nurses and lawyers, all with the divine motivation of helping humanity as their objective. The Pisces sign is most compatible with Cancer and Scorpio.

The Aries Child
March 21 - April 19

The little Aries is something of a handful. This energetic child will walk and run as soon as possible and perform daring feats of exploration. Caregivers will need to be vigilant, since this small individual does not know the meaning of fear and is especially prone to head injuries.

Many children born under this sign appear hyperactive and easily frustrated when they cannot get their own way. Since they are always in a rush to get on with life, they are prone to violent temper tantrums and dramatic physical displays. Nevertheless, the natural curiosity of the Aries child does need to be encouraged and it is important to place as few restrictions on this little one as possible. Explain to your child, reason with your child but never complain. Persuade the little Aries to take up a hobby which requires the development of patience, for those born under this Sign are the least patient of the Zodiac and will need such self-control later in life.

Aries are thinkers - always planning for the future and conjuring new ideas and schemes; they are often seen as being far ahead of their time. Aries do best managing enterprises or businesses and tapping into unknown fields.

Aries are most compatible with the Sagittarius and Leo signs.

The Taurus Child
April 20 - May 20

The Taurus child is a reliable sort, but in order to be at his best, he needs a stable and secure background. Emotional security is very important to your child, and change – especially change he feels powerless to do anything about – frightens him.

Common sense is one of your child’s greatest assets. His mind is logical and methodical, working out the answers to problems in a systematic and sensible way. Your child is not very flexible, however, and often need a gentle reminder that even carefully made plans have to be changed sometimes.

Perhaps the most obvious potential problem for a little Taurean is selfishness, which goes hand in hand with possessiveness. Unwilling to share with other children, toys and books will be guarded as if their lives depended upon it. Early exposure to other children will help resolve this trait, as will a ‘reward’ system that encourages sharing and tolerance of others.

Taurus people are most compatible with Virgos and Capricorns.

The Gemini Child
May 21-June 21

Gemini children are lively youngsters who seem to be everywhere at once! They can be precocious and are often chatterboxes. Your baby will love to explore and hence, needs plenty of space to do so. In fact, a Gemini baby maybecome irritable if cooped up. Geminis are friendly, bright and alert. A young Gemini will enjoy playing with toys that involve using his hands and fingers.

Gemini children have lively imaginations and often live in a world where reality and imagination are mixed together. They are very inquisitive and will want to explore anything that takes their interest. Young Geminis will be interested in a wide variety of sports and will want to be friends with other children of both sexes.

Geminis are most compatible with Aquarius and Leo signs.

The Cancer Child
June 22 - July 22

Cancer children have a very sensitive nature and a fervent imagination which will follow them throughout their lifetime and through the crucial childhood years they may find loneliness to be a companion, sometimes an even preferred companion, as cruel words from other children can cut deeply. There is a tendency for this one to be overweight and slow moving which could make him/her a target for classmates to ridicule, thus sending the crab scuttling back into its shell!

Your little Cancerian can be clever and has a tendency to become deceptive; unless this is caught early in childhood. He or she gets so good at the art of deception that they often wind up deceiving themselves. The Cancer child is a very loving individual and it takes many expressions of love on the part of parents for this little one to feel secure. Self-pity and martyrdom should be tactfully discouraged and the child taught to laugh at those tendencies in self.

Cancers are most compatible with Pisces and Scorpio.

The Leo Child
July 23 - August 22

Leo children are sunny, friendly personalities who love to be the centre of attention. They love parties and seem to have endless energy. Your young Leo will be more often on the move than still and will love playing games and joining in physical activities. A Leo child will be adventurous and can sometimes be reckless. Leos love parties and will be generous with possessions.

You will soon notice that your Leo baby will like to be waited on and Leo children dislike doing menial tasks. Leo girls may go through a tom-boy phase as they are happiest when doing something physical.

Leos need freedom in which to grow and experiment. Emotionally, they can be turbulent and dramatic.
Leos are most compatible with Gemini and Libra signs.

The Virgo Child
August 23 - September 22

The Virgo child is an industrious sort, so you can bet that a lot is going to get done when they're around. This is a child who can make play look like work, and vice versa, so you may not be sure exactly what's going on! Worry not, though -- the Virgo child is surely content with the state of affairs, whether it's straightening up the bedroom or playing chess.

Scientific and methodical, the Virgo child is likely to be drawn to more involved projects such as plotting stars or planting a vegetable garden. And hey, those plants will flourish, for Virgo is a perfectionist who doesn't know the word 'fail'. Along with this quest for excellence comes a penchant for pickiness, so the Virgo child's best intentions may often be misinterpreted. This child wants to eat those peas, it's just that they have to be the tastiest peas around! (A nervous stomach may also be part of this child's makeup.)

Forever tidy, the Virgo child will not only have a neat room of their own, they'll also straighten up the rest of the house and arrange things as they see fit. Could be worse, right? At the end of the day, though, what the Virgo child wants most are simple things (vanilla ice cream - no nuts and such), orderly surroundings, and the pleasure of a job well done.

Virgos are most compatible with Taurus and Capricorn.

The Libra Child
September 23 - October 22

The Libran child is a delightful and very social little person. He is reasonably easy to care for and seems to have an in built sense of what is socially acceptable. Needs peace and harmony in his surroundings and like his symbol, the scales, he likes to see balance in the world around him.

He likes the company of others and quite often judges himself on what he sees reflected back at him in the eyes of those around him. Librans are generally friendly, open and generous with a ready smile. The hardest lesson for a Libran is learning to make a decision.

Be prepared to give your Libran child artistic surroundings and an education in the arts. Help him to face things as they are and to learn that the reality of things is often different from their appearances. Libra must learn the law of cause and effect, that all life has inter-relationship; this is the lesson of the Balances, as symbolized by the Sign of Libra.
Libras are most compatible with Aries and Leo.

The Scorpio Child
October 23 - November 21

A real challenge for any parent. Your little Scorpion enjoys a good fight. He will never compromise. With those beautiful, penetrating eyes, he will hypnotise you to get his own way. He has a strong will matched by a strong body and needs to be firmly disciplined. He will only learn from someone that he perceives to be stronger than him. So stand firm and earn his respect, but always do it with love.

Instill in him the qualities of compassion and forgiveness, because Scorpions are famous for their vindictiveness. Raised well, he will turn into a brilliant, magnetic personality. Forthright and direct to a fault, the Scorpion's sarcasm stings. He has a strong desire for privacy, but usually manages to ferret out your secrets.
He has fantastic instincts and could sense your moods before you know it. Extremely perceptive, he has a sharp, penetrating mind. You must channel his energy in the right direction by keeping him mentally active and physically stimulated.
Your Scorpion knows exactly what he wants and makes sure that he gets it. So guide him towards a worthy cause or goal. Never impose your will. Extremely loyal himself, he expects loyalty in return. Do not even make the mistake of breaking your word to a Scorpio. You will live to regret it.

The Scorpio child is talented in promotion activities, writing, designing, modeling, and acting.

The Sagittarius Child
November 22 - December 21

He is the fun loving child of the zodiac. This child is enthusiastic, optimistic and generally happy. He often loves school and the process of learning. He has a keen appreciation of philosophy and religion at an early age. He definitely has his own idea of what is the truth and love to tell the world. The Sagittarius child will argue when your theory does not match theirs.

Travelling is a must for the Sagittarius child. From an early age until old age he will be traveling to foreign countries and seeing the world. He loves to meet people of different cultures and talk about different beliefs. He easily adapts to different cultures and ways of living. Often seen in libraries and museums, in search of learning something new.

Very generous and friendly, he loves life and people. He is so honest, that he can be tactless. He does not mean to hurt others, he is just telling the truth. The Sagittarian child is not often interested in doing chores or homework because they do not look like something that would be fun.

Sagittarians are talented in art, education, dancing and politics. Many Sagittarians are also business people, specifically lawyers.

The Capricorn Child
December 22 - January 19

The Capricorn kid thrives on routine and order, which gives him the sense of security that he needs. He is usually even-tempered and self-contained. Capricorns can be strong-willed and will get what they want by slowly wearing down parental resistance. The young Capricorn tends to prefer older company and enjoys pretending to be grown-up. Your child will probably prefer to have just one or two close friends rather than being a part of a large group. Capricorns usually love to read and to make things.

Your child will need to be encouraged to spend time outside in the fresh air, since Capricorns are not usually very enthusiastic about sport or the outdoors. Sometimes they are very serious children who need to be encouraged to relax and play. Capricorns have a good sense of humour but cannot bear to be teased.

A Capricorn child will do well in a secure environment with regular routine and reliable, appreciative parents. Young Capricorns can also lose self-confidence easily despite their maturity. They should be taught how to express their very sensitive inner emotions and how to relax.

Capricorns are most compatible with Virgos and Taurus signs.
