Baby Astrology: Decode Your Little One’s Personality

As a parent, do you find yourself asking countless questions about this new, precious little person?

By deciphering their astrological sign, you may gain a few clues to better understand your child and the influence their zodiac sign might have on their core nature.

To Believe in the Stars or Not—That’s the Question for Understanding Your Baby

Of course, astrology is not an exact science. It’s more a matter of belief. Still, the influence of astrological signs can be significant. Take yourself, for example—what's your sign? Have you ever looked into the main character traits associated with it? Do they correspond to your personality? If yes, you can move on to the next section.

What’s My Baby’s Zodiac Sign?

To determine your baby’s zodiac sign, use their birth date. If baby isn't born yet, use your EDD (estimated due date), calculated from the first day of your last period before getting pregnant. Is your baby born on September 7? That’s Virgo. Born on February 28? That’s a little Pisces.


As a reminder, the zodiac is a system for interpreting the sky and its constellations, divided into twelve equal sections called zodiac signs or astrological signs. Each one corresponds to a specific period of the year and features distinct characteristics. Additionally, every zodiac sign is tied to one of four elements, a fundamental concept in astrology:

  • 🔥 Fire signs:

    • Aries (March 21 — April 19): energetic and fearless

    • Leo (July 23 — August 22): radiant and sociable

    • Sagittarius (November 22 — December 21): joyful and adventurous

  • 🌱 Earth signs:

    • Taurus (April 20 — May 20): calm and cuddly

    • Virgo (August 23 — September 22): attentive and meticulous

    • Capricorn (December 22 — January 19): patient and determined

  • 🌬 Air signs:

    • Gemini (May 21 — June 20): curious and expressive

    • Libra (September 23 — October 22): gentle and charming

    • Aquarius (January 20 — February 18): inventive and insightful

  • 💧 Water signs:

    • Cancer (June 21 — July 22): sensitive and affectionate

    • Scorpio (October 23 — November 21): intense and observant

    • Pisces (February 19 — March 20): dreamy and receptive

And What Exactly Is a Natal Chart?

Your child’s natal horoscope, the birth chart, provides a more complete and personalized analysis than the zodiac sign alone, in particular because it takes into account all the celestial configurations at the time of birth.

For example, the position of the Moon reveals their emotional life, whereas Mercury influences their way of thinking.

The ascendant, determined by the exact time of birth, also plays a major role, especially when it comes to how your child will one day present themselves to the outside world.

Similarly, there are twelve astrological houses, each reflecting a specific area of life: relationships, career, family, etc. The positions of the planets in these houses, always at the time of birth, give extra insights on natural tendencies and potential future challenges.

Thus, the natal chart can help you better understand your child's natural predispositions, their potential needs, or their unique ways of expressing themselves. This deeper understanding is valuable for supporting your baby’s development.

How to Create Your Baby’s Natal Chart Yourself?

To discover your child’s future personality, here’s a methodical, step-by-step approach to preparing a natal chart. If you prefer, you can also consult a professional astrologer.

  • Write down precisely:
    • The exact time and place of birth of your child.
    • Their full birth date.
  • Choose a tool to more easily decode your baby’s (or your own) natal chart. For example, the sites https://www.thepattern.com and https://www.costarastrology.com/ and their apps will reveal your "birth chart" in just a few clicks.
  • Enter the requested information and discover your baby's birth horoscope, generated automatically.

To accurately interpret a birth chart, you’ll also need to become familiar with the meaning of each planet (Sun, Moon, Mercury, etc.), the twelve astrological houses, the aspects (the angles between the planets), and the ascendant.

Babies Born "on the Cusp" between Two Signs

Cusps refer to the transitional line between two astrological houses—periods lasting about five days that give children born at these times a blend of different traits.

  • April 18 - 22: Aries’ dynamic energy meets Taurus’ stability, so baby alternates between intense exploration and a need for comfort.
  • May 19 - 23: Taurus’ practical side joins Gemini’s versatility, for a baby who is both curious and fond of routines.
  • June 19 - 23: Gemini’s communication blends with Cancer’s sensitivity, creating an expressive baby who loves interaction, gentleness, and comfort.
  • July 21 - 25: Cancer’s intuition merges with Leo’s charisma. So, on some days, baby might seek comfort with their pacifier, but also boldly express when they want their bottle!
  • August 21 - 25: Leo’s theatrical flair combines with Virgo’s perfectionism, resulting in a baby who is both expressive and attentive to their environment.
  • September 21 - 25: Virgo’s precision meets Libra’s harmony, for a baby who enjoys calming spaces and well-established routines.
  • October 21 - 25: Libra’s sense of balance mixes with Scorpio’s intensity, for a baby who is both calm and mysterious, capable of great focus.
  • November 20 - 24: Scorpio’s depth merges with Sagittarius’ optimism, giving a baby who is passionate, curious, and always eager for new experiences.
  • December 20 - 24: Sagittarius’ adventurous spirit meets Capricorn’s ambition, creating an explorer baby who also loves reassuring routines.
  • January 18 - 22: Capricorn’s discipline fuses with Aquarius’ originality. Some days, baby wants their bottle at a set time, other days they’d rather delay their meal.
  • February 17 - 21: Aquarius’ innovation joins Pisces’ intuition, resulting in a dreamy and inventive baby, often captivated by sounds and colors.
  • March 18 - 22: Pisces’ sensitivity blends with Aries’ energy, giving a baby who is both gentle and high-spirited, alternating between calm moments and bursts of exploration.

If your baby is Aquarius, Taurus, or Cancer, it’s because the Sun was in that particular constellation at the time of their birth. Since the Sun moves to a new sign roughly every 30 days (with “roughly” being the key word), if your baby was born at the end of their zodiac period, the next sign may also have some influence on their nature.
