How the planets might influence your child's first utterances
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
"Yummy"
Taurus is the most indulgent of all the zodiac signs. Their extraordinary sense of taste translates into a love of flavors like sweet, salty and savory. This bull sign will likely speak early in response to a beloved food or treat because they want you to know that they would like another bite.

Gemini
May 21 – June 20
"Look at me!"
Gemini loves to be the star of the show, even when they're in diapers. Babies born under this sign are driven by engagement and attention, and will relish the chance to show you how awesome they are. Notice that their first words are in a complete phrase—that's because Gemini children are some of the smartest in the zodiac.

Cancer
June 21 – July 22
"Hmmm"
Judgy Cancer kids are also notoriously private, meaning their shade will be subtle. Their huff of indignation means so much with so little effort. When you hear your baby utter that breath of consonants, know that they're displeased about something but unwilling (and totally unable) to explain themselves further.

Leo
July 23 – August 22
"No!"
Bossy Leo has a clear set of expectations for others, and they won't be timid about speaking up when the time comes. If they notice someone doing something incorrectly, they're bound to say so, even with a limited vocabulary. Watch for a single raised eyebrow to accompany this baby's first word.

Virgo
August 23 – September 22
"Oops!"
Overly worried Virgo tends to stress out about perceived wrongdoings (both their own and others') and will be quick to let someone know when they've made a mistake. Even as a baby, this maiden sign wants things to be perfect and will likely have a mini anxiety attack if they think they've disappointed you. Be warned, parents of Virgo kids, this sign needs lots of reassurance to feel confident.

Libra
September 23 – October 22
"Love you!"
Matters of the heart come easy to cupid-struck Libra, who, as they grow, become very judicially minded, with a strong sense of what's right and wrong. Libra babies who haven't yet been exposed to the weight of the world will likely be the rosiest, loveliest little munchkins ever seen, and can't wait to tell their family how much they adore them.
