Your Star Sign’s Parenting Style

Can the planets predict your mom type?

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

The "Take No Prisoners" Mom

If parenthood was a battle, Taurus moms would win the war. They don't put up with any sh*t and will raise their children with clear, defined expectations. These moms tend to be incredibly competitive and want their children to be the best, but will be the first one at their bedside snuggling and comforting them when times are tough. They may have an iron fist when it comes to motherhood, but they're all heart when it comes to their families.

Gemini

April 20 – May 20

The "Fitness Guru" Mom

Active, social Gemini moms love living a healthy lifestyle and nothing is more important to them than getting their kids on their energized bandwagon. These moms will frequently play with their kids outdoors and be up to date on all the "healthy eating" trends. Their kids may not like the spirulina smoothies their mom makes them drink each morning, but she is charming enough to convince them it's delicious to their bodies.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

The "Keep You Safe" Mom

Overprotective Cancer moms are most likely to wear their babies long after toddlerhood comes knocking. These moms are nurturing and willing to break their own backs to give their children the softest possible landing in life. Although this crab sign can be snippety when they're stressed, their devotion to their families is unsurpassed.

*Also most likely to volunteer in the classroom/scouts/sports (you get the picture).

Leo

July 23 – August 22

The "Don't Make Me Tell You Twice" Mom

Leo moms have high expectations for themselves and for their children. They are powerful leaders who have zero patience for excuses, bad behavior or mistakes. As far as a Leo mom is concerned, if she told you to do something, it better be done or else you're in big trouble. While these lionesses are loving and protective of their children, they are not too soft to scold them when they're not living up to their full potential.

Virgo

August 21 – September 22

The "Indulgent" Mom

Worrisome Virgo mothers tend to use rewards as a confirmation of love. This stems from their anxiety that they are not doing a good enough job as parents. They are most likely to say yes to whatever their child asks for, while reminding their little one, over and over again, how much they love and adore them.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

The "Security Guard" Mom

By nature, Libra mothers are not typically helicopter parents. However, their need for fairness and balance in the world causes them to overreact to situations where their child (or anyone else's) is treated unkindly. They're most likely to annoy other parents on the playground, at school and basically anywhere because they will speak up to any misbehavior, whether or not it's their child.
