Anyone else have these little moments with their kiddos when you could tell (as broad of an example as it is) their sun sign?

#1 At aged 18 months he puts pieces of toys neatly in a box. Turns around to look at me and the pile of papers on the sofa and gives me a filthy look. I then start to tidy up.

(btw- Blue can I borrow son number one?)

My little Leo darling's first word was, "Hi!" Not "Mamma," or even, "Dadda," just HIIIIII, really loud to every one and anyone. It got really embaressing to take her shopping. In the check out line she would shout HI! to everyone in the vicinity. Of course, the first time, they would reply back, but after 6 or 7 times, they would ignore her.......BAD IDEA! This is when temper tantrums began. She would lay on the floor and kick her legs, making a huge scene. I don't think I ventured back into a store with her until she was over 5 years old!

Then at the photo studio, I had her all dolled up. I had brought all three kids there for their yearly photo. Well, they have a mirror right in there, for last minute checking, you know? And Miss Leo passed the mirror, caught a glimpse of her hair barettes that I so lovingly put in, and ripped them out in a fit!!! OH MY. She has been a challenge. But so Funny!!!!

My Double Scorp son refused to come out of the womb. Yeah, let that one sink in for a minute.
Then he was very colicky, so the only way to soothe him was to constantly hold him.
I ended up getting one of those snugli things that you stap the baby to yourself? Well, that is how I did dishes, cooked meals, did laundry...with my little man strapped right to me.
At around 2 yrs old, he said he was having scary dreams, so he "moved" into my bed. Go figure. LOL. But I can't hide one single emotion from that kid, he knows EVERYTHING I feel. It is scary sometimes, but wonderful.

My Pisces daughter, OH my. She thought she lived in the cartoon with Barney. She had imaginary friends. She entertained herself for hours on end, just chattering away at immaginary balls and tea parties. She was such a lovely little girl to raise. Puberty was a tour of hell, but we got through that and she is a wonderful, kind, gentle person.

He wrote simply "Gentle."

though my girl is an aries she is leo rising and leo moon, trine the sun, and so she often seems more leo than aries.

HER first words were, when she was sitting somewhere, on the ground or couch...she would lift up her arms and go "bupbup" - at first we thought she was trying to say her uncle's name, bob (he was staying with us at the time) but it turned out she was saying "up up up" as in "pick me up"...and she would continue on until one OBEYED her!

My youngest has Libra Ascendant. I've had plenty of Libran friends over the years, but have never seen this indecision for which they are supposed to be renowned. The agony involved in this child making any kind of choice is painful to watch.

Eldest has 5 planets in Aqua and questions EVERYTHING imaginable.

On our way to see Where The Wild Things Are yesterday (ready to arrive early, mind you) :

little boy:
"You don't need to take a shower before we go. Youre pretty even without one."

later in the car:
"Hurry, hurry, we're going to be late!"

me:
"No, we'll be a little early actually!"

him:
"No, we're late. Look (points at my clock), it's already 10:63!"

The girl behind the counter at the movie theater asked him what kind of candy he wanted - if i didnt help him out, we might have missed the movie. He ended up wanting "SweetHearts" (he meant SweetTarts) which got an Awwww out of us.

My niece has Aries moon. Easily bored, very outspoken. One day, her mum and her mum's best friend were queuing in traffic.

Little voice pipes up from the back seat:
"I'm so bored I'm sh!tting chicken".

Sh!tting chicken? Where did she get that from? Nobody knows. She was only 3 at the time. My sister nearly died because of the language.

you made me laugh so hard with the description of your kids. And so fitting in astrological terms.

Ever considered writing a book on children`s astrology?

When I was a toddler, one of my first babbled words was "Dosefugger". I used it for two things:
1. The big box with sweets on the cupboard out of my reach
2. the big planes in the sky
