Whether we like it or not, our children do not come with an instruction

manual. As parents, we do a great work of research on techniques and tools to

make sure we are providing our children with the best education possible.
Oddly enough, it seems that self-development may actually be our best
bet. Modern psychology suggests that children tend
to model their parents’ behaviour rather than get inspired by
their teachings. Simply put, if you want your children to become their best
version, you must lead by example.
Astrology can be a powerful tool to improve our parenting skills, since
it provides great insights on behaviour that helps us grow in self-
awareness. Here are some useful parenting tips for each Sun sign.

The Aries Parent: (Aries Dates: March 20th – April 19th)

Aries is fiery, self-confident and hands-down the leader of the Zodiac. Your
willpower and assertive personality will inspire your child to dare to act on their
dreams. Enthusiastic as you are, you just need to be careful not to impose your
own ambitions on them, as children may need to try a million different things
until they find what truly drives them.
Remember that not everyone is as fast as you are, so this may require patience
from you - a trait that you don’t find particularly appealing, but that pays off in
the long run. After all, life is a long-distance race, not a sprint.

The Taurus Parent: (Taurus Dates: April 20th – May 20th)

Tauruses are very committed parents, since patience and affection are
significant traits of their personality. Your child will learn from you to appreciate
everyday pleasures, from choosing the best snacks to developing self-care
habits.
When it comes to parenthood, your weak point is —yes, you guessed it— your
stubbornness. We know stability and respect for tradition are key traits for a
Taurus, but you can’t ignore that the world is in constant change and,
paradoxically, being flexible in the present is sometimes what is best for
creating future stability. Keeping a long-term perspective will help you develop
adaptability in your children's education. You will certainly succeed, you are the
best investor.

The Gemini Parent : (Gemini Dates: May 21st – June 20th)

Gemini’s curious, communicative and social nature makes them the perfect
companion for the toddler who is starting to interact with the outside world and
is constantly asking questions. You are likely to instill a lifelong love for learning
in your child, as they will be amazed at your endless knowledge.
Unfortunately, not everything about parenthood is pleasant. Sometimes, you
need to be strict and set limits. Although playing the authoritarian role may not
feel the most natural to your cheerful and light personality, your problem-solving
and research skills will help you find the technique that works best for you. This
is just another field of study for you to conquer.

The Cancer Parent: (Cancer Dates: June 21st – July 21st)

Parenting comes natural to the official mom of the Zodiac. Cancers are warm,
loving and sensitive, and that’s why your close ones feel safe and at ease when
they are next to you. Nurture and protection are traits of a Cancer parent, you
understand instinctively the needs of your baby and are always there to meet
them.
That is precisely what your challenge is about :as they grow older, you will need
to give them space so they turn into independent adults that are able to satisfy
their own needs. It breaks your heart to watch them go, but you are willing to do
whatever it takes for your family. You can be sure that they will come to you
when they need it, because you will always be home.

The Leo Parent : (Leo Dates: July 22nd – August 22nd)

The personality of a Leo parent is very much similar to that of a child: Leos are
energetic, playful and creative. For you, parenting is the ultimate game and
your children love spending time with you because they learn about
the world by playing and having fun.
If you need a piece of advice, that would be to keep in mind that not every child
is an extrovert. It can be difficult for you to understand why your children would
not want to stand out if they are so amazing, but if that is the case, you need to
respect it. Ultimately, what really makes a child shine is to be able to be their
most authentic self. And you are all for authenticity!

The Virgo Parent : (Virgo Dates: August 23rd – September 22nd)

Virgo is intelligent, pragmatic and a perfectionist. You are very aware of the
power of healthy routines, and you will pass on to your children some very
valuable time and space management skills.
Your challenge as a Virgo parent is to not be too critical. While keeping a well-
ordered life feels natural and easy to you, your child is likely to be putting a lot
of effort to follow. Be sure to praise their accomplishments and show
compassion when they fail, as that will keep them encouraged. You understand
the importance of everyday motivation for this matter, because even though this
might not be the kind of teaching children are thrilled to receive, it’s definitely
one of those things that they will thank you when they are older.

The Libra Parent: (Libra Dates: September 23rd – October 22nd)

It’s no wonder everybody likes Libras — children are no exception — as

politeness and respect are among your traits. You are stylish, balanced and
have one of the greatest assets for education: you are a great listener, and that
makes your child feel understood and loved.
The tough part about parenting for you will be dealing with the inevitable conflict
that comes with growing up, especially during the teenage years. It feels
awkward, but it is natural and healthy for teenagers to confront their parents.
Think about it as a great opportunity for you to show them how it is possible to
remain calm and open to dialogue even in the most difficult situations. If anyone
can do this, that's you !

The Scorpio Parent : (Scorpio Dates: October 23rd – November 21st)

A Scorpio parent is intense, resourceful and insightful. Due to your innate

understanding of human psychology, you know your children better than they
will ever do. They are absolutely unable to get away with lies when you are
around — they actually wonder if you might be secretly working for the FBI.
Your challenge with parenting is letting go of control. You want to prevent your
child from making the same mistakes you made, but children only learn by
making their own mistakes. Do not worry, you overcame the obstacles and so
will they. You excel both at handling crises and keeping secrets, so if you share
your own experiences with your family, offering unconditional support, you can
be sure they will always count on you.

The Sagittarius Parent (Sagittarius Dates: November 22nd – December 20th)

Sagittarius is kind spirited, joyful and always up for fun. Because of your traits,
you are the most likely of the signs to be labeled as the "cool parent."
And that is perfectly fine, as long as you do not overlook our obligations towards
your little ones.Children are mostly oriented to instant gratification, so they need
to be taught that, a lot of times, it is worth sacrificing short-term pleasure for
long-term satisfaction, like cooking a healthy meal instead of ordering pizza.
You will certainly find a way to turn the boring tasks into yet another adventure.
After all, it’s all a matter of attitude, and you just happen to have the best one!

The Capricorn Parent : (Capricorn Dates: December 21st – January 19th)

Capricorn has a reputation for being the most serious of the Zodiac signs, and
this is for a good reason. You know that time is the most expensive thing on
Earth, and you refuse to waste it. Strong sense of responsibility, duty and
pragmatism are dominant traits of your personality that your child can perceive
as boring and limiting.
It is convenient that you bear this in mind and give yourself permission every
now and then to just play and be random with your children. And don't worry
about not being the funniest parent, the adult your child will become will never
be grateful enough for learning from you the self-discipline skills that later gave
way to self-mastery.

The Aquarius Parent: (Aquarius Dates: January 20th – February 17th)

Those born under the sign of Aquarius are witty, independent and original. You
are not conventional in anything you do, and parenting will be no exception: you
will surely pass on to our child your love for technology and humanitarian ideas.
Bear in mind that your intellectual personality can be perceived as cold if your
child is more sensitive than you, which is likely to happen. Knowing this, you
can make the effort to show affection so they can actually feel how much you
love them. Combining hugs and kisses with innovative education, your baby will
grow up to be an adult genius, as geniuses are nothing more
than people who dare to develop their uniqueness and share it with the world.

The Pisces Parent (Pisces Dates: February 18th – March 19th)

Pisces is a sensitive, dreamy and loving parent. Your love for music, art and
fantasy creates a magic atmosphere for those around you. Because of your
devoted personality, you tend to sacrifice yourself for our children. Therefore, if
you feel like your infinite love is not being reciprocated, you can get very upset
and indulge in self-victimising.
Being mindful of this tendency, you will be able to let them know when you don't
like their behaviour, without making them feel like they are responsible for your
happiness. Luckily, you possess the necessary trait to succeed in
this endeavour: compassion. With time and experience, your children will be
able to fully understand your devotion, and it will inspire them to become their
best self.
