Your Parenting Style Based On Zodiac Signs

ARIES (March 21 - April 19): Individuality

You are a Fire sign, so all that fiery passion will help drive your children’s success. Just remember to schedule in some fun downtime too! You are the type of parent who will help your children to be both humble and ambitious.

It's a wonder how the Aries parent does it all, as Your Tango reported. Determined to a fault, this energetic parent is the epitome of their fire sign. The Aries moms and dads do it all for her kids, go to work, and still manage to meet with their friends once a week for drinks. There is nothing these parents can't do.

According to Astrologyk, for Aries, children are an object of love and pride. He - just a wonderful parent, because it can easily win the heart of any kid or child older. He does not sneer with them, but communicates at the level of trust and understanding, trying to make friends. Mothers born under this sign appreciate the obedience of their children, so at times they can be unnecessarily strict. They should be more patient and loyal, learn to control their temper and anger.

Parents show generosity towards their children, but they are not always able to show empathy and empathy. For example, the father becomes irritable when he hears of the problems that arise in the child: he wants to be proud of his son and daughter, and not participate in their consolation, considering it a manifestation of weakness.

The position of the mother in matters of raising children is somewhat different from that of the father. She instilled in them from childhood free-thinking and the importance of a personal point of view, guided by progressive methods of education. Quite often a child inherits from his mother’s initiative and violent activity, which gives him the opportunity to have his own opinion on each issue, to form a personal taste. It’s great if the child can adequately assess any situation and make the right choice, not depending on the different opinions of the surrounding people.

Aries Mother You love life and this trait is one that your children will share with you. Whether it is a family trip to a far-off place or finding special places close to home, you instill your children with a sense of spontaneity and fun. Thanks to this gung-ho approach to living, your family will create many amazing memories of the places that you have seen and the experiences that you have. Aries Father As a father, Aries serves his child as an example of independence, responsibility, maturity, ambition and courage. Because of their self-confidence, Aries thinks that they can easily cope with the role of the father. But they forget that in order for them to achieve something, it is necessary to obtain the appropriate knowledge. Aries dad can easily criticize his child, to show rigidity to him, to limit his rules and attitudes. At the same time, he forgets about the precaution in dealing with a small fragile person, the peculiarities of his child and that he is not the only one who brings him up. He needs to review his actions, admit his mistakes and coordinate his decisions with the mother of the child.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20): Stubborn

Nothing is too good for the child of a Taurus parent. Since this sign loves nice things, the desire for opulence is placed on the kid as well. Expensive shoes for a newborn? Absolutely! After all, this is a baby whose parent knows what they like.

You couldn’t find a more patient and affectionate parent! The Taurus likes to create a home environment that exudes security and contentment. Yours will probably be the house that friends enjoy gathering at. Being an Earth sign, you will instill in your children the importance of hard work and strong ethics.

According to Tarot.com, if you’re a parent with your Sun in Taurus, you raise your children with a patient and nurturing hand. You want the best for your kids and you won’t stop until they’re well-rounded and striving for success! This might mean that you can be a little overbearing from time to time, but everything you do is out of love -- and your child’s hard work will always be rewarded with a special treat!

Stable, secure, and loving, a Taurus parent provides a great home base that their children know they can always come back to. According to Horoscope.com, a Taurus parent trusts in all their offspring's gifts and abilities. They're hands-off, not because they don't care, but because they know just how good it feels to do something all by oneself. Taurus parents are cuddly and know the power of a restorative hangout on the couch. While a Taurus parent won't push their kids, they're disappointed if a kid doesn't live up to his or her potential. A Taurus parent may not say, "I love you" often, but that's only because it's implied and obvious to them just how much they love their offspring. A Taurus parent pays attention, and notices small details about each of their children, celebrating their unique personalities and making sure that each one feels special, no matter how crazy and busy life may get.

Top 5 Zodiac Signs Make The Best Fathers In The World We summed up information on top 5 zodiac signs that make the best fathers according to astrology.

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20): Indecisive

Keeper of the calendar, head communicator, and perhaps over-texter, your need for clear and consistent communications will help you keep the household running smoothly. There will be no detail left unplanned for, just be sure to save some time for fun, too.

You’re not a regular parent, you’re a cool parent! If you’re a parent with your Sun in Gemini, then you’re upbeat, fun, and always providing new activities for your kids. You have a great natural energy to be able to keep up with your children and your busy family life. Just remember to slow down and check in with your little ones when you get the chance. They’re growing up fast and you don’t want to miss a moment!

Intelligent, playful, and energetic, a Gemini parent's goal is to make parenting as fun as possible. Gemini parents are invested in their children and love coming up with activities and adventures that both parent and child will enjoy. These parents also may get frustrated if a child doesn't go along with their agenda. It can be tough to push aside their own emotions and needs in favor of their child's, so Gemini parents do well when their lives include a grounding earth sign who can act as another caregiver for their child. As their children grow older, Gemini moms and dads love being friends with their children, and they always take their kids' opinions and ideas seriously. A Gemini parent can be demanding, especially when it comes to intellect and independent thinking. They consider vacations as learning opportunities, just like any other time of year, and they want their children to love asking the big questions just as much as they do.

Certainly never boring, as Bounty reported, a Gemini mum can be a contradiction when it comes to moods. It never hurts to keep the family on their toes, and a Gemini mum will do that and often the rest of the family can’t even guess what they might do next. The home is always buzzing and there’ll always be something happening somewhere.

The standards a Gemini mum expects is basically determined by the mood at that time and they can be pretty extreme. When the focus is strict everything will need to be rigid, but when in a relaxed mood, pretty much anything goes.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22): Sentimental

As a Cancer parent, as Baby Centre reported, you're probably very hands-on in raising your children. You enjoy and learn from every miraculous moment of pregnancy, birth and your child's growth. You're loving, protective, sensitive and compassionate. If you're a typical Cancer, you’re a nurturing force to be reckoned with! You’ll create a safe and cosy home environment for all your loved ones.

If you’re a parent with your Sun in Cancer, you’re quite the guardian! You’re a loving and protective individual, and those traits are amplified even more when it comes to your children. While your kids will always feel safe and loved, you can be known to smother them a little. You can’t be with them all the time, but your time together will always be meaningful.

Looking after people is how you show your love. You try to do everything for your family, so that they'll depend upon you. It’s not that you want to feel powerful, but more that you can’t help but want to feel safe, secure and needed.

This is perfect when you’re caring for a baby, as they really do rely on you for everything. As your children get older though, do remember that if you do everything for them, they won’t learn how to take care of themselves. Do make every effort to teach them the skills you've mastered.

Being too protective is something else you need to be careful of. If you constantly hover over your child, letting go could be a challenge as they grow up.

You’re a big fan of tradition. In fact, some people may even consider you old-fashioned. You find customs, routines and rituals give you and your family a sense of community and continuity.

You live for being at home, surrounded by your loved ones, where you can protect them with your generosity and love.

Cancer Mother Cancer mothers have strong maternal feelings for their child, surround them with care and attention. With her rich imagination she reveals to her child the beauty of life. Cancer mom likes to tell fairy tales and even invent new episodes in these tales. She understands the inner world of her little child. Cancer mom can indulge the child and endure his endless pranks and disobedience only until a certain moment, and then she becomes strict, can scream and spank. That is, it happens as too soft, too hard, not always controlling their words and emotions. A child in such a family does not always know exactly what will happen in the next moment and what kind of result you should expect for your tricks. When a child grows up, the Cancer mothers by their excessive anxiety restrict his freedom. They care where they went and with whom their child. They can not wait for him to return home, despite the fact that they know where he went and what for. She takes a long and meticulous look at the prospective companion or chosen one of her child, makes her own adjustments and even is able to break up the nascent family. Cancer Father Cancer father is not very concerned about his young children. But, as they grow up, he actively connects to the process of education, finds time to communicate with his son and daughter, shows interest in their extra-family activities. He is proud of his son, is ready to protect his daughter as necessary, and with all his might tries to make friends with his offspring, who gladly devote their father to matters and problems. In the role of father, Cancer serves his child as an example of a caring attitude to relatives and close people, careful treatment of their feelings, self-confidence, diligence, fulfillment of filial duty, firmness and perseverance in upholding their ideals. To their children, the fathers of Cancer experience strong and deep feelings, which are similar to their own feelings, experienced by them in childhood, and which are similar to maternal care. But they carefully hide them. Cancers are prone to sudden changes in mood, because of which the child loses a clear understanding of his role as a father. If, moreover, Father Cancer hides his feelings, then the child may not understand him at all. Between them will grow a wall of misunderstanding that can, over the years, separate them, make them indifferent to each other. To prevent this from happening, the fathers of Cancer need to share their feelings and experiences with their child, ask the child about his experiences.

LEO (July 23 - August 22): Dramatic

You’re a fun, passionate, loving being, Leo! So it’s no wonder that your children adore you. You have lots of energy and enjoy taking your kids on crazy adventures. Your warm and charismatic demeanor goes a long way and makes your children feel comfortable around you. You’re a protective Lion ready to pounce on anyone or anything that might threaten your cubs. While this makes you a great parent, your children might need you to retract your claws from time to time.

The pride that you take in even the smallest of achievements is sure to boost the self confidence and esteem of the most uncertain of children! You love to share the news when one of your children has earned the Student of the Week Award and you have a dedicated space for trophies in a highly visual location in your home.

Save the drama for your mama. Or actually, try not to. You have a flair for the dramatic, but as a new parent, there won't be much room to expend energy by focusing on the insignificant. You may struggle at first, but try to stay level-headed and calm whenever possible, instead of giving in to your emotionally-charged ways.

According to Business Insider, Leos enjoy life and always try to look on the bright side, which is why they relate so well to children, says Furiate. Leos can be childlike, so being a parent and sharing time with a child is a means for the Leo to maintain his or her youth, she explains. A Leo parent's favorite activity is taking vacations or weekend trips with their child.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22): Organized

Virgos have a great balance of logic and heart—practical but sensitive. According to Brides, you embody two key traits that will make parenting come quite naturally: organization and selflessness. It's your nature to care for others and to put their needs ahead of your own, which is essential in the early weeks of parenthood. Just be sure to practice some self-care, too. If you run on empty, it benefits no one.

If you’re a Virgo parent, you’re attentive, loyal, and nothing gets past you! You work hard to raise well-behaved children with a proper set of manners. You want the best for your kids, which means encouraging a well-rounded lifestyle that includes sports, instruments, and challenging academic courses. While your family is supportive and unstoppable, make sure to leave some room for mess and fun!

Low-key and rational, a Virgo parent loves seeing his or her children come into their own, and tries hard to step back and let them become the people they were meant to be. That said, Virgo parents are also perfectionists they can have a hard time standing back, especially when they know that they could correct their child or teach a better way of doing something.

Virgo parents love connecting with their child through teaching, and they see possible lessons in everything. Although usually fastidious, a Virgo parent doesn't mind the mess if it means that his or her child is learning something. Virgo parents will welcome their kids' help with cooking, even if it takes five times longer.

The Virgo parent will read his or her child's homework, and may be even more demanding than the teacher. But even though Virgo parents will call out laziness when they see it in their children, they'll never be unkind and will always stop for a hug or talk if their child needs some emotional time. Virgins are their child's fiercest advocates they truly believe that their little one can do anything he or she has a mind to do.

As their children grow, Virgos are happy to become friends as well as parents to their child. While they'd never identify as their child's best friend and will always have some boundaries in the relationship (they do not want to hear how their twenty-something child spent his or her Saturday night), Virgo parents love conversations and debates about world issues and big life questions. This sign believes that raising an independent thinker is one of their biggest parental success stories.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22): Diplomatic

You have a knack for diplomacy, which will come in handy while mediating any arguments amongst the little ones or during any other sticky family situations, for that matter. You’re also a problem solver, so be prepared to lend out lots and lots of advice to your parent friends.

You bring balance to your home and family life, Libra! As a parent, you get along with your children easily. They appreciate your willingness to understand them and learn their wants, needs, and goals. You’re lots of fun and great pals with your kids, but you can also be indecisive and have a hard time making tough calls. Enjoy being calm and collected when it comes to your kids, but remember that a good parent isn’t always the cool parent.

Seeing the big picture from day one, the Libra parent does his or her best not to get overwhelmed by the details of parenting as he or she raises the next generation of independent thinkers and good people. Because Libras are so good at seeing and appreciating multiple perspectives and viewpoints, they realize that their child is a unique personality who may be very different than them. They try to be as careful as possible with their children's feelings, giving them space to grow and providing loose (some might say "free range") guardrails.

The peacemaker As a Libra parent, you try to create a peaceful and harmonious home life for your children. It's important to you to bring up your family in beautiful, even luxurious, surroundings, and you do what you can to avoid conflict in your home. Unfortunately, this means you might be a bit of a pushover, especially if your children are particularly forceful or if they learn to manipulate you to get what they want.

A Libra parent wants parenting to be fun, and will frequently try to make it as pleasant as possible. This could look like not sticking to a strict schedule, eating ice cream for dinner, or taking their child out of school for a week for a vacation. While intelligent Libra believes that school is important, he or she also believes that children can learn just as well from the world around them as they can from a book. Libra parents trust their instincts and intuition, and even though they love backing up their opinion by reading a million parenting books, blogs, and Facebook groups, they won't second-guess the decisions they make about raising their kids.

A Libra parent does sometimes have to face the fact that parenting isn't all sunshine and rainbows, and part of the job is modeling constructive engagement and conflict resolution. Helping their children understand their negative emotions and talk through bad feelings is a lifelong lesson for Libra parents.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21): Perceptive

Troop leader, coach, class parent, chaperone; you’ll probably sign up for all the things. You’re a social butterfly and enjoy interacting with others, which will help you be present and involved in your family’s extracurriculars and hobbies.

If you’re a parent with your Sun in Scorpio, you are protective and devoted to your children. They won’t be able to get anything past you! You’ll be able to detect any lie, fib, or sneaky story that your kids try to get away with. You have high expectations for your children and want them to strive for excellence. While these are great values to teach your little ones, it’s important to remember to let kids be kids!

There’s no doubt that a Scorpio mum is the ruler of her home and master of the family. Whatever decisions she make for the children she will stick to her guns and will not be swayed by anyone.

Children of Scorpio mums certainly respect their matriarch and may even be ever so slightly scared of mum. Home is where a Scorpio mum’s heart is, and ensuring it’s the perfect space for the family is important.

Scorpio parents often engage in tough love. A determined sign with impressive resolve, Scorpios expect their children to develop the same qualities.Domestic calm is key to a happy Scorpio mum. Snuggling up on the sofa and watching films is a Scorpio mum’s idea of heaven and anything that involves being together as a family is central. Not so interested in the rest of the world once they have their tight-knit family around, Scorpio mums do all they can to make sure the family feels the same.

Scorpios Are Cool Under Pressure Your ability to think calmly when circumstances get heated comes in handy while managing a family. Quickly your kids will see that it is hard to ruffle your feathers with typical antics. Keep that logical, quick witted brain at the forefront because you can guarantee that they will find more ways to push your buttons.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21): Energetic

Having kids will bring out the kid in you! If you’re a parent with your Sun in Sagittarius, you are playful and always excited to spend time with your children. You drag them from one adventure to the next and enjoy passing on all of your wisdom to them. Keep in mind while you’re having fun and being reckless with your little ones that you’re the parent in the situation -- and you’ll have to be responsible and tough from time to time. The lessons you do teach will be on a moral high-ground!

You love life and this trait is one that your children will share with you. Whether it is a family trip to a far-off place or finding special places close to home, you instill your children with a sense of spontaneity and fun. Thanks to this gung-ho approach to living, your family will create many amazing memories of the places that you have seen and the experiences that you have.

You’re one of the most generous signs, but don’t let that come back to bite you. Of course, you’ll want to give anything you can to your little loves, but remember, there’s a fine line between generosity and spoiling. It’s essential to know the difference.

As Bounty reported, there’s no doubt that a Scorpio mum is the ruler of her home and master of the family. Whatever decisions she make for the children she will stick to her guns and will not be swayed by anyone.

Children of Scorpio mums certainly respect their matriarch and may even be ever so slightly scared of mum. Home is where a Scorpio mum’s heart is, and ensuring it’s the perfect space for the family is important.

The Aquarius parent is the progressive, open-minded hippie on the block. As an aquarius parent you will want to be your child's best friend. You will tell your children crazy stories about your past and hope that they have as much of a humanitarian bent as you do. You command family dinners with your tales of camping in the rain at music festivals and doing volunteer work overseas.

Even though you love to communicate, you can often be insensitive to what other people are feeling. The Aquarius sometimes lacks emotional intelligence, which can be damaging to a parent-child relationship. Trust what your children are saying, and believe them when they tell you how they feel.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19): Ambitious

You’re used to being in control, Cap, but one thing parenting will teach you (fast) is that sometimes, you have to let go and go with the flow. Especially in the early weeks and months, try to plan less and be present more. Save the intense preparations for a little later when you can plan vacations, soccer schedules, and carpools, oh my!

As a parent with your Sun in Capricorn, you’ll make sure that your kids conquer anything they try! You’re a hard-working, competitive individual, and you’ll pass on that drive and determination to your children. They’ll be winners if they’re anything like you! While you’re signing them up for soccer, violin, French lessons, and college prep courses, though, remember that kids need to be kids! Be supportive and encouraging, but leave room for fun.

Because they take an all-work, no-play approach to their own lives, Capricorns can become strict parents. They crave success and achievement and want their children to strive for excellence. This kind of parenting style can have various results. Some children respond well to this sort of upbringing, she says, and it can inspire them to achieve great success. But a child who is not ready or strong enough to meet their parent's expectations will crack under the pressure.

You might be more comfortable with the demands of your career and trying to make ends meet than you are with your children’s emotional worries. However Capricorns, by nature, seek constant improvement, so if there's something lacking in your relationship with your children, you can identify the problem and work to correct it.

You'll teach your children about the value of money and reliability, and you'll educate them in the importance of keeping their promises. In fact, you'll be a real authority figure in their lives. They'll respect you and at times you might even intimidate them without realising it, or meaning to do so.

Part of your job as a parent will be learning to lighten up a bit and become more affectionate and spontaneous. This way, you can create a balance between work and play, and your children will love and appreciate you even more for the effort. You'll set a positive example for them when it comes to maturity, planning and working steadily towards goals. Just don't be too hard on them if they're not quite as driven as you are.

According to astrology, how you bond with your child can depend on their star sign too. Should you schedule in some playtime, encourage their creativity or give them a bit of extra affection?

A master provider As a Capricorn parent, your focus is on working hard for your family and meeting your responsibilities. In fact, you may work a little too hard! Your intentions are good, but you can place too much importance on being a dutiful provider and not enough on other things that truly matter. Spending quality time with your children and developing a warm, nurturing connection with them should be high on your list of priorities too.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18): Adventurous

If you’re a parent with your Sun sign in Aquarius, you might have some unconventional parenting methods. You put a lot of trust in your children, which can lead to heavy responsibilities and expectations. While they’re most likely to succeed with a parent like you, it’s important to remember that they may need some coddling every once in a while. They’ll love and appreciate you for all the lessons you’ll teach them, but mostly all the adventures you’ll take them on!

According to Pop Sugar, known for being the free thinker of the zodiac group, Aquarius parents certainly have their own way of doing things. It doesn't matter if everyone in your social circle is taking their kid to music class, you've signed them up for circus school. Thankfully, this free-spiritedness doesn't interfere with disciplinary issues, since Aquarius parents have a deep connection to doing what is right.

Are you feeling bored and maybe even lonely? As an Aquarius, you are a people-person and a natural conversationalist, and the company of kids isn't going to cut it. You need mental stimulation beyond parenting. If you aren't working outside the home, consider it. And if you aren't making time for yourself to get out and be with friends, you absolutely need to.

When it comes to your kids, you're so creative. You have crafts and adventures up your sleeves at all times. Never afraid to try something new, you're the fun kind of mom that all kids want. It's true that you're known to lose your temper when things get too chaotic, but you can work on that. Don't let your energy get so drained that you snap. Remember that it is okay to take time for yourself so you can recharge and keep being the mom you want to be, as Mabelandmoxie reported.

Rainy days will be your specialty! With bustling creative energy, you’ll likely have fun playdates, adventures, trips and tasks planned for any occasion. Your house will definitely be the place kids will want to hang out.

PISCES (February 19 - March 20):Dreamer

You’re an affectionate individual who LOVES being a parent! As a parent with your Sun in Pisces, you’ll give your entire heart to your children and dedicate your world to taking care of them, playing with them, and giving them all the love they could ever dream of. You may find that it’s hard to play the parent role and make tough decisions, but if you know what’s best for your kids, you’ll lay down the law. Enjoy being a parent! Your kids will bring out the kid in you.

Pisces parents love to love, giving their children an unconditional amount of affection. These nurturing moms and dads can often fall into the trap of thinking that their little ones can do no wrong. However, when the caring Pisces avoids that mistake, they are the kind of compassionate parents who are beloved for all time.

You spend a lot of time in reflective thought, Pisces. As a parent, it will be essential to notice when you get lost too far in your own head and aren’t in the moment. Try to practice mindfulness to stay present.

Pisces parents are creative, encouraging and truly value kindness. Pisces moms are often described as angels as are their children, especially since it's built into the Pisces personality to go above and beyond for others. They love to help, they genuinely care and they are intuitive to other people’s needs and feelings.

Astrology.com notes that while Pisces are intuitive and loving, like other water signs, they need some time to be alone and recharge after being around people. Since they are also really relaxed and easy-going, free-range parenting might give their kids — and themselves — the space they need to thrive.

According to Elite Daily, the dreamy Pisces parent encourages their children to express creativity wherever possible. The play room isn't outfitted with a clean, fluffy rug and neatly-ordered boxes; it's covered in paint and pieces of Play-Doh. Above creativity, though, the Pisces parent values kindness. People often describe your children as angels.

Pisces can also be serious. One must remember that even a shark is a fish. And when it comes to protecting their children Pisces don't mess around. They are unrelenting and would do anything to ensure their children's safety and happiness.

Pisces is also lenient. But lenience isn't all good, though: Pisces parents need to make sure they're not being too easygoing. If you're not careful, your children might resent your relaxed attitude and crave more structure. Even though your kids will ultimately remember a childhood full of light and love, you want them to plan constructively for the future, too.

Pisces The Artist What a gift to see beauty in all things! You're a natural artist, and you pass that down to your children. They love feeling free to express themselves through music, visual arts, and dance and know that you will cheer them on. Make time for your own art as well, though. Creating is your life force and will keep you grounded.
