Valentina Keeps It Real

At the wise and worldly age of 2-1/2, Valentina Pinault does not believe in Santa Claus.

Mom Salma says,

"No matter what I say to her, she just doesn't buy it, and she's 2 1/2. I refuse to give it up. I say, 'There is a Santa Claus,' and she says, 'Okay, Mommy. In pretend world, right?' She really doesn't believe. There's nothing I can say to make her believe in Santa Claus."

It may surprise mom, but it's no surprise to Mlle. Kiddie! This kiddo was born with such a level head, she's going to be schooling her mom on the ways of the world before long.

Her south node, Sun, and Saturn all lie in the sign of Virgo, which is a no-nonsense, "just the facts, ma'am" kind of sign. She notices and pays attention to the details and tries to determine how likely something is based on those facts. On top of all of that, her moon lies in the sign of Capricorn, also an earthy, no-nonsense sign. She feels more comfortable (moon) in the realm of the practical and sensible, finding a sturdiness and reliability in it that nurtures her.


The thing that tips the scales entirely, though, is Saturn in Virgo, right next to her south node. The planet Saturn deals with all things in the realm of the real: the yes and no's, is or isn'ts of the world. With Saturn guiding us, we mature by learning how to create and make things real and the limits of what we can and can't do. Valentina was born an inherent sense of the natural laws in life. She's less likely than most kids to believe that a bearded man flies through the air and delivers toys to the entire world in one night.

Her north node lies in Pisces, which is about embracing the fantastical, the mysteries of life, and the imagination. Over time, she'll learn how she can still keep her feet on the ground but dream with the best of them. Mlle. Kiddie encourages mom Salma to keep trying to show Valentina the whimsical side of life, but perhaps with fewer lies, however well-intended. Valentina can smell those a mile away!
