Are You Astrologically Compatible With Your Child?

Aries

Gemini

These fun moms are always up for a good time. They tend to be pleasers and like to keep the peace, which makes them a good fit for Aries, Leo, Libra and Aquarius children. Gemini moms will have to have thick skin if they're parenting a Virgo or Pisces child, as they expect depth and sincerity and may be put off by a Gemini's lighthearted ways.

Cancer

Moms born under the Cancer sign tend to have strong bonds with their children but can be demanding and have high expectations. Scorpio, Virgo, Taurus and Pisces children thrive with this kind of mother and with ample praise. Aries and Libra children, however, won't like being bossed around and may snap with too much pressure.

Leo

A Leo mom does not waste time beating around the bush. She is direct and honest, but can also be fiercely protective. Children born under the Aries, Gemini, Libra or Sagittarius signs can appreciate a Leo's blunt style. Not so much for Taurus or Scorpio children. They need a gentler approach than a Leo mom is used to taking.

Virgo

Virgo mothers love making their children feel special. They are intuitive and nurturing, but can also be judgmental and overly critical. Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer and Capricorn children will instantly click with a Virgo mom, but Gemini and Sagittarius children won't. Their natural response will be to push a Virgo mom away, but if she can give them ample space, they will come around.

Libra

A Libra mom is all about fairness and kindness. She will never favor one child over the other and will shower her children with ample affection. Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius children love a Libra mom's sense of justice and integrity. Unfortunately, Cancer and Capricorn children often mistake a Libra's rational parenting style with indifference and may feel disconnected.

Scorpio

Scorpio moms are known for their sharp tongues and haughty tempers. They are hard working and devoted, but need children who are patient. Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces children will easily bond to an intense Scorpio, but Leo and Aquarius children will often argue and challenge a parent they feel is stifling their freedom.
