The Best Month for Your Sign to Give Birth

Aries moms are strong and filled with vitality, making almost any month perfect for child-bearing. However, when stressed, Aries may shut down and become nonverbal. By delivering in late May, when communicative Mercury takes center stage, Aries moms will be more likely to speak up and share their needs, making childbirth less difficult.

Cancer moms-to-be will have the most luck delivering their new babies in late October with the ruling force of Mars and Pluto guiding them.

Leo moms are strong in heart, mind and body, making nearly any month of the year ideal for them to give birth.

Scorpio mothers tend to be tense and often worry about meeting the needs of others, which can make it difficult for them to accept help during childbirth. By delivering in late June, under the rule of the moon, Scorpio moms can tap into the energy of maternal bonding and mysticism, which will quiet their active minds and make them more receptive to being nurtured.

Capricorn moms are steadfast and determined to have a successful delivery. By giving birth in early September, these focused fertile goddesses will have the added benefit of the planet Mercury which, being the fastest planet to orbit the sun, can help speed up childbirth as well as help stoic Capricorn be more communicative about their needs.

Earthy Aquarius moms are incredible nurturers with deeply rooted maternal instincts. While bringing forth new life is natural to these women, they may struggle with planning and organizing their lives prior to delivery. If they give birth in late November, they will have the luck of Jupiter, which inhibits obstacles and stress, guiding their initiation into motherhood.

Sensitive Pisces moms are in tune with their emotional needs, but may become overly anxious and stressed during delivery.
