The ARIES Child
"All I know is something comes at me, like a Jack-in-the-box, and I go up like a Sky Rocket"
In the nursery, while proud parents exchange pleasantries, a vibrant Aries baby demands attention in the bassinet. How dare you divert your gaze and converse with the nurse? Who truly reigns supreme in this domain?
Before you even reach the taxi for the journey home, this question shall be answered with utmost certainty. Your little Mars offspring is the true authority. Any doubts will swiftly fade as soon as the high chair becomes their throne, where they shall vigorously pound spoons on trays if left unattended. Subtlety has no place in their strong, active, and broad-shouldered physique. The Aries tot will spit out vegetables like projectiles from a cannon, even rubbing the cereal bowl on their bald head to express their distaste. The girls will exhibit the same directness as the boys, if not more so. Though it may seem unexpected from a tender little lady, do not be deceived by their soft appearance. April's metal is iron, and April's stone is the diamond, the hardest substance known to man.
Early on, they will walk sooner than their peers and speak with greater haste. Taming their spirited nature shall prove challenging. If you dare utter a "No, no" to an Aries toddler, they shall defiantly wag their plump finger back at you. The practice of discipline must commence early. Beware of falls and injuries to their head or face. They possess a remarkable knack for accidents, to put it mildly. Keep sharp knives out of their reach, guard against burns and scalds. Anything hot or forbidden shall inevitably attract the impulsive grasp of the Aries child. Do you think such mishaps will teach them a lesson? Think again. They will strive to break their own records.
The teething phase may bring forth high fevers and severe discomfort. Your little one will emerge from this ordeal relatively unscathed, but the same cannot be said for you.
As they grow older and stronger, having triumphed over measles, mumps, chickenpox, and scarlet fever effortlessly (for germs stand no chance against the swift recuperation of their Mars nature), your Aries child will display occasional fits of temper. You will observe their unreasonable behavior when met with obstacles, yet their anger shall be short-lived. Following each outburst, the Aries boy or girl will flash a bright, winning smile in your direction.
They will exhibit remarkable generosity, sharing toys not only with you but also with playmates, the mailman, the neighbor's bulldog, and even the alley cat. However, this generosity shall wane if someone hurts their feelings or hinders their desires or aspirations. Prepare for fiery displays of emotion.
Aries boys and girls may develop a tendency to neglect homework, and using your more compliant Capricorn, Cancer, Virgo, or Pisces child as an example will hardly impress them. (I'm assuming you do not have multiple Aries offspring, as such celestial occurrences are rare for parents.) Rather than attempting to shame the spirited youngster into studying, challenge them instead. They will eagerly embrace such a challenge, much like their favorite stray alley cat laps up cream. Merely suggest that they might be slower or less bright than their peers in some way, and observe as they passionately debunk this preposterous notion. Can anyone surpass them? Not likely, my dear.
After witnessing the magic of this strategy at home, kindly inform their teacher. They will be eternally grateful, perhaps even sending you a sizable box of candy if they happen to have multiple Aries students in their class. In truth, Mars youngsters can swiftly learn anything and retain it effortlessly if they dedicate themselves. Unfortunately, not all parents possess the means to achieve this feat. They may spend years wondering why little Mike and Maggie possess high IQs yet remain stuck in the third grade for an eternity. Fear not, for Mike and Maggie shall make up for lost time with the speed of a bullet once they venture out into the world and discover others who possess greater intelligence. A couple of humbling experiences for their Mars ego, and they will diligently study to make up for lost ground.
Your April child shall possess a vivid imagination, blending dreaminess and sentimentality with practicality. If there exists such a paradoxical creature as a hard-headed, idealistic dreamer, it is your Aries offspring. They are as naive as they are resilient, as gentle as they are assertive. These conflicting traits weave together within their fiery nature, leaving you in awe and contemplation. Your friends shall experience the same sentiments in due course, not to mention their future adversaries and unsuspecting partners.
Aries children shall assume leadership roles among their playmates, introducing new games and innovative ideas to the group. They will stubbornly demand their own way, or they shall collide headfirst with authority. It is imperative to establish firm rules from the outset. Aries children left untrained in their youth shall encounter harsh lessons in adulthood. Remember that their heart is as tender as butter, concealing deep-seated fears of rejection and unrequited love beneath their brave facade. Should their bright dreams be shattered or their enthusiasm dampened, they shall seek solace in your embrace, their tears conveying a sense of tragic disappointment. Hold them close during these moments. Their hearts shall ache. Despite their rash and domineering nature, the idealism of Aries is delicate and vulnerable. They shall encounter numerous trials, each bruising their naive and hope-filled optimism. They will tirelessly strive to teach the unimaginative world a lesson or two! Though they may suffer a few scars along the way, never underestimate the resilience of your Mars child. Do not expect them to surrender easily. Prepare for an extended wait before they concede defeat.
Secure birthday presents in a safe haven, for their impatience shall brook no delay when it comes to surprises. Do not dispel their faith in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny prematurely. To believe fervently and subsequently learn not to believe toughens their emotions?a necessary lesson. Their allowance shall burn a hole in their pocket, yet they will cheerfully offer you their last dime to pay the milkman. Your Aries daughter may willingly part with a nickel each day to dissuade neighborhood bullies from stepping on ants. Harsh treatment during their impressionable years may ignite a cruel streak, but with gentle and wise guidance, they shall assert their rights with less force, exuding immense generosity and empathy for their fellow human beings. Avoid issuing orders; instead, ask them to perform tasks with a cheerful smile, and they will exert themselves to the utmost to bring you joy. Never undermine their confidence, for it is as vital to them as the air they breathe. They may attempt to run away from home, as the Mars independence manifests early on, yet they shall return wiser. Teach them that dominating meeker individuals is unkind?a fate they genuinely wish to avoid.
The presence of cold, negative individuals can inflict deep wounds upon their tender souls. However, their spirit shall never break. (Remember the diamond.) They may harbor an ardent love for books, becoming avid readers, yet their enthusiasm for settling down to four years of college may wane. Aries is too consumed by the urge to conquer challenging frontiers. Nevertheless, do not abandon hope too soon. Higher education can instill discipline and assist in aligning their passionate emotions with sudden bursts of sharp intuition. The more they resist the notion of a rigid academic schedule, yearning for the freedom to explore various occupations, the more apparent it becomes that structure is necessary.
They shall learn the value of responsibility, and you shall teach them this and other life lessons swiftly through logical reasoning and genuine affection. Both shall resonate deeply with them. Parents and teachers must never forget that Aries children thrive under praise, surging ahead to surpass their previous achievements. However, should they face criticism, their fiery spirits shall fizzle out, and they shall lose all motivation. Commend them for their admirable qualities, and they shall strive to reduce behaviors that displease you. Aries youngsters consistently rise to meet the expectations set before them, even those who conceal their fiery drive beneath a calm demeanor. These children must always be kept occupied; otherwise, they shall wander into trouble. Idleness is a gateway to danger. Provide them with ample rest to replenish their scattered and misdirected energy.
They shall adore tales of brave heroes, shining examples who conquer new realms. Yet, they shall retain their belief in leprechauns and wishing wells long after you've preserved their tiny Aries shoes in bronze and welcomed the arrival of your first grandchild. If you gently guide your Mars child, showering them with unwavering love, they shall possess the incredible power to dream the impossible dream and transform it into reality.
Details of Your Personality, How You Were As A Child
Sun / Pisces
The PISCES Child
Eager eye and willing ear,
Lovingly shall nestle near.
In a Wonderland they lie,
Dreaming as the days go by,
Dreaming as the summers die:
Ever drifting down the stream Lingering in the golden gleam-
Life, what is it but a dream?
Most babies, as the lore goes, are discovered under the shelter of a cabbage leaf. Some are delivered by storks, their tiny bodies suspended from the beaks, or found within the doctor's black bag. Not your little Pisces bundle. They arrive directly from the realm of fairy tales, clutching a fragment of moonlight. If you observe closely, you may still glimpse the reflection of elves and enchanted trees in their dreamy eyes, perhaps even a trace of stardust lingering behind an earlobe. Although their wings may have vanished by the time they reach the delivery room, a slight bump may remain as a reminder.
You must have come across those congratulatory cards for new mothers, adorned with illustrations of dimpled, rosy infants, delicate and translucent, gracefully drifting amidst poetic verses. The artist surely used your Pisces child as inspiration. This might lead you to believe that you can guide your Neptune-born little one effortlessly, or that you can mold them into any shape you desire after washing away the glistening stardust from their ears. However, reconsider. They will have their way, just like the fiery, headstrong Aries baby, the demanding and regal Leo baby, or the stubborn and resilient Taurus baby. The only difference is that your Pisces child will achieve their desires by charming you to the core, engulfing you in oceans of sweet smiles and captivating gestures.
Once the ink on the birth certificate has dried, consider enrolling your Pisces son for the lead role in the future production of Peter Pan, or your daughter for Alice in Wonderland. These iconic roles will resonate deeply with Neptune children, who don't require a stage to embody them brilliantly. They will continue to embody these characters well into their eighties. Parents who silently pray, "I wish my baby would never grow up," may have their wishes granted if their baby was born under the sign of the fish. The passing years will leave minimal imprints, forever preserving a childlike, fantastical, and dreamy quality that shrouds Pisces individuals. It will bathe them in an aura of mystery and unreality, enduring beyond the reaches of time.
By the time they are old enough to hide within jam pots, your peculiar child will already display a preference for dwelling in a world of imagination. They will find solace in activities far removed from the routines and patterns of everyday life. While seated in the high chair, they will eat with angelic grace if you assume the role of a queen or a clown during feeding time. Don a lampshade adorned with sparkling necklaces, or use a mop as a wig; apply lipstick and chalk to your face. Their imagination will fill in the rest. As they grow older, they will happily engage in play on the front porch while you tend to household chores, as long as you adorn the area with colorful balloons, play music on the record player, scatter their stuffed animals, offer popcorn, and proclaim it to be a circus.
When they finally begin attending school and experience peculiar dreams at night, you might be taken aback one ordinary spring morning while tying their shoes. "Guess who I saw last night?" they will casually remark. You will respond with a polite quip, mentally preoccupied with locating their green sweater. Ah, there it is, draped over the teddy bear they dressed up yesterday, pretending it was their best friend.
"Who did you see?" you inquire.
Their answer will come effortlessly, "Grandma Stratton. We conversed for quite some time before she bid me farewell. She asked me to remind you to water her geraniums and send Uncle Clarence the money."
Given that Grandmother Stratton passed away before your child's birth, this revelation may initially unsettle you, especially on an empty stomach before your morning coffee. However, the real shock will come after breakfast, when your child is at school and the mailman delivers a letter from Uncle Clarence, whom you haven't heard from in five years, requesting a loan to start a new business.
The wisest of parents struggle to establish a schedule that can withstand the whims of a Pisces offspring. Schedules and routines are natural adversaries, and they will employ their fertile imagination to avoid them at all costs. Their hunger will strike at unpredictable times, their exhaustion will creep in when least expected, and their playfulness will be enticed by arbitrary fascinations. Attempting to enforce eating, sleeping, or playing according to any other timetable becomes an arduous task. In reality, it's a rather sensible approach, yet the moments when they become hungry, tired, or playful may vary considerably from day to day and night to night. It is futile to resist. They won't throw tantrums, scream, or resist in order to coerce you into surrendering to their desires. Instead, they will gradually seduce you through evasive and elusive tactics, bewildering you until you capitulate. You might even find yourself inexplicably enchanted by this sheer freedom. No longer burdened by guilt when engaging in coffee chats with neighbors during feeding time, playing an enthralling game of "Princess and Frog" during the mystical hours of dawn, or sharing a bowl of vegetable soup and a cup of hot chocolate on a dreary, gray winter afternoon. It all becomes oddly alluring. They might even teach you that the ticking clock should not be an authoritative dictator ruling over your life. After all, it's merely a ticking piece of metal.
The Pisces child will demand a considerable amount of attention and appreciation. They need to be seen and acknowledged, for they often doubt their own capabilities. Shower them with as much affection and recognition as they require. Additionally, they will need moments of solitude. When they retreat into their mysterious states of withdrawal, grant them that privacy. Their mind may wander millions of light-years away, far beyond your reach. Eventually, they will return, just in time for their serving of vegetable soup and hot chocolate. However, by this point, they will have shifted their lunch hour to the late evening. If they tell you that they were soaring through the skies on a saucer with a visitor from Mars, believe them. It might just be true.
Teachers frequently find themselves perplexed when attempting to fit this peculiar puzzle piece into the standard molds of education. Your child may not conform to the round or square holes provided. They will simply refuse to adhere to a pattern that is not their own. Don't place too much blame on them. The educational system has yet to catch up with Neptune's wisdom. Many Pisces boys and girls possess artistic inclinations, harboring a profound love for music and dance. The typical Neptunian child possesses grace in their step, regardless of their physical weight. Young girls often yearn to become ballerinas, while boys tend to idolize figures such as Beethoven, Michelangelo, astronauts, or Saint Anthony, rather than scientists, presidents, or generals. They are enamored with literature of all kinds, and English may be their preferred subject, as Pisces children possess storytelling prowess. They adore words, and poetry often captivates their hearts. Initially, they may struggle with comprehending mathematics, but they will later exhibit a remarkable understanding of the abstract principles that underlie algebra and geometry.
Responsibility may prove elusive for them, leading to moments of frustration. Pisces children adhere to their own set of rules. They are sensitive and easily wounded by harshness. Tears may flow frequently. Ordinarily, they prefer the company of adults over playing with other children. Even at a tender age, they possess a deep wisdom and empathetic understanding of situations that surpass their comprehension. Children born under Neptune are often accused of lying, although their intentions are pure. There is no malice or cowardice involved. Their young minds swim in the currents of boundless imagination, whispering a thousand delightful secrets, imbued with sheer beauty that they yearn to bring to life in the cold, tangible world. The fact that these magnificent dreams perish in the sterile, desolate soil of a materialistic society is truly heart-wrenching. They require your utmost sympathy; otherwise, they will retreat into silent, brooding desolation.
The Pisces child hears melodies of the sea that they can never fully describe. The stark, brutal truth is too harsh for them to endure. They must embellish it occasionally, or attempt to imbue it with warmth and color, drawing from the Neptune hues of romance. It would be unfair to label this as lying. Instead, encourage them to gather their clouds and moonbeams, weaving them into poems, plays, or paintings. Soon enough, they will adapt to the ordinary world of cruelty, selfishness, poverty, and ingratitude. Why thrust them into it abruptly? They may encounter difficulties in conforming to the social and academic expectations that stifle their individuality. Yet, their parents and teachers can learn from them the importance of compassion, understanding, beauty, tolerance, imagination, and gentleness. The type of diploma you desire from life depends on it.
One day, either the Piscean philosophy of freedom of expression or the conformist ideals will prevail. My bet is on Pisces. Of course, your warm-hearted and amiable little Neptunian must be taught that people expect them to eventually adapt to the nonsensical, topsy-turvy concepts of society in order to survive. However, if stern and negative adults push too hard, they may lose their way back to the other side of the looking glass. Don't deprive them of their key. They require occasional escapes to refresh themselves with the true wisdom of the Red Queen and the White Knight. Only then can they better navigate the tangible world, filled with war, poverty, disease, hypocritical ethics, and ingratitude. Your little fish needs a protective cloak against the harsh winds that lie ahead. Knit it yourself with resilient, vibrant yarn. Make an effort to understand their Neptune ways. Guide them with tenderness and wisdom, and when they finally grow tall, they may reach out and grasp one of the silver stars to present it to you. Then, you will be grateful that you never scoffed at their dreams. Prepare a special spot on the mantle in anticipation.

As A Child
The Adventurous Aries Child
From the moment they can express themselves, Aries children crave your undivided attention. They have a knack for making sure they're heard, whether it's through crying or banging their spoon on the table. Subtlety isn't their strong suit. Aries kids will shout at the top of their lungs to convey their desires, regardless of gender.
With an eagerness for every milestone, Aries children often walk and talk earlier than their peers. If you want them to learn discipline, start teaching them as soon as you leave the hospital. Learning from mistakes isn't their forte, so baby-proof your house and keep dangerous objects out of their reach. Despite their feisty nature, Aries babies are also affectionate, always ready to embrace you and give goodnight kisses.
However, show them authority, and their stubbornness emerges. Respect is the key to getting them to understand. While they may have a quick temper, it rarely lasts long. Once they cool down, they return to their usual cheerful selves. Aries children are not selfish and willingly share their favorite toys, but be cautious of other children being unkind. Push them with challenges, not comparisons, and they'll complete tasks promptly.
Aries children have a remarkable memory and are creatively inclined with vivid imaginations. They dream big but also face reality. It's a unique blend of practicality and fantasy that characterizes an Aries baby. They strive to be the first and crave leadership roles.
Beneath their tough exterior, Aries children possess a vulnerable and sensitive heart. They fear being unloved and seek constant reassurance from you. When hurt by the world, they may rush into your arms for comfort. Embrace them tightly and mend their broken hearts, or they'll shatter completely. While they may believe in miracles, fairy tales, and angels, don't be the one to debunk their beliefs.
Impatience is their trait, and surprises may require hiding that birthday gift in the bank locker. Aries children may not excel in financial matters, but they're generous to those in need. They cannot tolerate injustice and have a strong moral compass. Instead of giving them orders, ask with a smile, and they'll willingly complete the task. Aries children value their freedom and remain optimistic, deeply hurt by negative thoughts.
Responsibility isn't their strongest trait, but they can be taught through logic and affection. Praise motivates them to do the right things. Keep them busy to avoid trouble since an idle mind is their devil's workshop. However, ensure they get enough rest to replenish their energy. Nurture and lead them gently, and Aries children will dare to dream the impossible and make it a reality!

The Dreamy and Sensitive Pisces Child
A Pisces baby lives in a world of imagination, filled with elves, fairies, and magical trees. They are somewhat different from other babies, as they rarely resort to shouting, screaming, or throwing tantrums to get their way. Instead, they have a charming tactic that can win you over. Even as they grow older, their whimsical and dreamy nature remains a prominent aspect of their personality. The world of make-believe will always appeal to them. Whenever you need them to be occupied, create a small imaginary world around them using soft toys, balloons, dolls, and other playful elements.
Pisces children possess a sharp sixth sense and intuition that can catch you off guard at times. They may resist adhering to schedules and routines, preferring to eat when hungry, sleep when tired, and engage in activities that capture their interest. It's best to adjust your expectations and go with their flow. Pisces children are not very confident in their abilities and will require reassurance and lots of attention and admiration. However, they also have moments when they crave solitude. It's important to respect these silent spells and give them the space they need, even if it means dinner is delayed.
Conventional patterns and expectations do not align well with the characteristics of Pisces children, making it challenging for teachers to fit them into a predetermined mold. They are drawn to various art forms, music, dance, and any creative outlets. Pisces children have a way with words and may excel in poetry or storytelling. Taking on responsibilities may not come naturally to them, so they will need your guidance in this area. They are highly sensitive, and harsh words can easily bring tears to their eyes.
Pisces children possess deep wisdom and often prefer the company of adults over their peers. They may be accused of lying, but in reality, they simply have their own unique perspective on the world. The realities of life can be too harsh for them, so they add their own color and warmth to make it more bearable. They require your sympathetic understanding, as they may retreat into an unspoken melancholy if they feel overwhelmed. The visions and experiences of a Piscean baby are unlike anything that others can imagine.
Encourage your Pisces child to capture their imagination through paintings, poems, or other art forms. Gradually, gently expose them to the realities of life while nurturing their fantasies. They need to develop the strength to face the world as it is, without stifling their dreams. Once they have refreshed their own souls, they can bring solace to others as well. Learn from their empathy, patience, imagination, and serenity. And who knows, one day they may bring home a silver star for you to wish upon too!
