Every parent knows: their child is different, special. Truly every child is unique. But many who are around children notice that some children act one way and others act another. Children born in the early summer (Geminis) tend to be very social but those just a little later (Cancers) are a wee bit shy. You can learn a lot about your child simply by learning about their astrology sign and what this means to them.

You can easily find your child's astrology sign by knowing their birthdate - and checking against the dates below. Children born on the cusp - the edge of any of the signs may have some of the characteristics of both of the signs they are born near. So a child born on March 20th may be sometimes a Pisces and other times an Aries. Try to read both and see which one rings more true for your child.

Aries (March 21 - April 20). Ram children are brave, courageous and adventurous. This is the child that is most likely going to try anything and everything. Can you actually fly by jumping straight out of the tree house? The Ram child will try and see if this is possible. An Aries child is usually quite popular and confident with their peers, they have lots of charisma.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21). The Bull child is one with a patient and very sweet personality - most of the time. Let us be truthful...have you noticed that your child can sometimes have a bit of a stubborn streak when they want something? Now being stubborn is also another word for determination and we all know that determination is an excellent characteristic to have to get you all sorts of good places in life! Taurus children love the arts and are often musical. They also have lovely singing voices.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21). The Twins are a true social butterfly - always flitting from friend to friend or fun thing to the next thing! The biggest challenge with a Gemini child is sometimes getting them to simply sit still and focus: to eat a meal, get their homework done and spend some time with the family. These Gemini children are always on the go. Gemini children are well-known for having many different types of friends - from the school jocks to artists/drama types to the kids with straight As. Sometimes they wind up running for Class President because everyone trusts them and really knows them quite well.

Cancer (June 22 - July 22). The sweet Crab child is one who truly loves their mother so much. This child is very close with their mother and has a very strong psychic bond that can never be broken. They literally know what you are feeling - all the time. Cancer children have deep, soulful eyes that feel like they go on forever. These children are often a bit shier than their other playmates and they have more serious personalities. While they may have less friends - they are very loyal to their friends and would do anything for a friend.

Leo (July 23 - August 21). A Lion child is one who loves the arts and creative things. This is the child that is always doing something inventive and unique. But more importantly, this is a child that truly wants center stage! Leo children are not shy. Don't get us wrong - this does not mean they are arrogant or stuck up, simply that they have lots of natural confidence and just like to share what they are good at. Leos are wonderful comedians and many of them are the class clown or involved in the drama group.
