I'm assuming that there are as many kids born on purpose as there are by accident. If you planned to conceive, did you try to aim for a birth in a particular sun sign?

Or vice versa! Did you plan NOT to have a certain sign? I know I'd absolutely die (not really, I'd love my kids no matter what) if I had to deal with another Gemini (historically combative for me!), but maybe having some motherly authority over one might be different. :D

I want leo twins.Or Taurus, even Scorpio. Aries too. I dig Virgo and Cancer. I want fixed independent children. Or children who are home all the time. Intellectuals.

I would much rather have intellectual children than athletes.

No geminis for me either, thank you.

I did sort of try to plan it, but it was really more about when I wanted to get pregnant.  However, it doesn't work so well.  I expected him to be a Scorpio but he stayed in extra long, unbelievably long, and turned out a Sagittarius.  He does have a fixed grand cross....stubbornness is an issue. :)

I was so happy to get pregnant the first time (I'd been trying for four or five months) that I didn't care what sign the baby was.  Lo and behold, my only son turned out to be a Capricorn, just like his Dad.

My next two were happy accidents.  They're Sag and Scorpio.

I'm not having any more kids, but I think a Cancer kid would drive me batty.  I had bad experiences with Sun/Moon in that sign.  Interestingly, my baby has her Moon in Cancer, but she's a happy, loving, affectionate kid.  The Cancer Sun/Moons I met as adults were seriously twisted individuals.  JMHO, when this sign goes wrong, it goes really, really wrong.

I have not planned Sun signs but I did impregnate by the Moon sign --masculine for a boy and feminine for a girl--the second time around. I timed my cycle, used Venus and Ceres in my charts, and a feminine Moon sign and sure enough, I got my girl.  Looking back on my son, he was conceived in a masculine sign. The timing is tricky--for instance I would not recommend impregnation if the Moon is moving through the last degrees of the desired sign/polarity because sperm can live in the body for up to 5 days. It works out that half the year you're likely to have a girl, half a boy, because of the way the moon works with your personal cycles. I firmly believe in its efficacy!

Ahem,I am a Gemini and I didn't plan out the signs of my kids.  with my daughter(1st) I did do the numerology on her name. She ended up being a Libra Sun, Cancer rising, with a Pisces Moon.  My son is Cancer Sun (12th house like my sun), Cancer rising, with a Leo Moon.

My Pisces friend did shoot for certain sun signs for her children, she did NOT want a Gemini.  Then she accidentaly got preg the third time and guess what?????  She had a Gemini boy,LOL.

Yeah, what's up with the anti-Gemini vibe in this thread?  I'm a Gemini and didn't plan according to sun sign, but I did get pregnant the first month I was trying and had my daughter three days after my own birthday -- another early Gem. 

Neither of my children were planned, but my 2nd daughter's due date was teeter tottering between Virgo and Libra.  I was kinda hoping she'd be a Libra, but she ended up Virgo.  I think her Sadge moon and Leo Venus helps her to be a little more free spirited than the textbook Virgo is made out to be, and her stellium in the 3rd makes her such a chatterbox.  I wouldn't change a thing :)

My first-born is a tripple Capricorn, smack in the middle of Capricorn.  I don't think she had much of a chance to be any other sign.

I'm not planning on having anymore kids, but if I had to choose a sign I'd like my kid to have, I'd say Aquarius, or any of the fire signs.

LisLioness--As a Leo, what was your experience like with a Capricorn child?  How old is he now? 

I'm a Leo and I am never at odds with my kids, both earth signs.  They are only 7 and 4 though, lol.  They are both very well behaved, and sweethearts.  I hope to God they continue to be that way.

I have a history of reproductive problems and none of my pregnancies have been successful.  The next time I am pregnant, well I am sure it won't be by accident, and although I don't think I'd plan for a specific sun sign (though I definitely would prefer an Aquarius baby, like myself)  I think I'd probably skip trying in any months where the sun sign could be Libra or Cancer...  I have bad experiences with Cancer men and Libras... I just have too many in my life.. no more... please.... lol

shell, we're very close, even though his Sun/Mercury squares my Moon (Capricorn/Libra).  His Venus/Pluto conjunction (Sag) is trine my Sun, his Moon is in Aries, and his Jupiter is conjunct my ASC (Aries).

He's very smart and is always a delight to be around.  He bugs his sisters all the time and can get overwired (he has Jupiter square Sun/Mercury), but in general, he's a good kid with a good heart.
