It's a boy for 'Cake Boss' Buddy Valastro and his wife, Lisa. Carlo Salvatore Valastro was born on Valentine's Day in the early evening at 5:11 pm. Carlo comes from Carlo's Bakery and the man who owned the bakery before Buddy's dad took over. Salvatore comes from Sal Picinich who worked at the shop for over 40 years until he died in January.This and many other examples from the show Cake Boss reveal how important tradition and family is in little Carlo's family, which is already revealed in his chart.
Little Carlo has a Cancer south node, the sign of family, in the 11th house, which represents (among other things) groups. A 'family group' might be more appropriately called tribe or clan, and Carlo certainly has a big one! He also has the moon (heart) in Cancer, so he will probably be very closely bonded with his tribe.
With 4 planets, including his Sun, in the sign of Aquarius, Carlo will be learning independence and what it means to be an individual within the context of that large family that will shape his early years. It will be of prime importance for him to take opportunities to find out who he really is, even if it's not always understood by his family. Three of those planets are also in the 7th house of relationship so the contrast between the people he has in his life and wanting to live up to their expectations vs. his own individuality will be rich learning ground.The planets Jupiter and Uranus are both forming a square to his south and north nodes, which represents a kind of 'rite of passage' for these learning processes. Jupiter in Aries is about learning to risk, to take initiative and leaps of faith. Uranus will echo his Aquarius need to not be afraid to be true to himself and be honest about and proud of who he is.
His Leo Ascendant will come in handy when it comes to pride. The Ascendant is our overall approach to the world, and having a Leo Ascendant brings the natural desire to express oneself, playfully and sincerely, being proud of who one is rather than apologizing for it or catering too make others comfortable. Here's more about Leo Rising from Carlo's Kiddiegram:
Leo Ascendant
The desire to be unique, to stand out, to be Somebody Special, is very pronounced in Carlo. He radiates a warm, vibrant energy that does make other people notice him. He seems strong, centered, and confident, and he makes a powerful impact on his environment. He may well have a certain dignity or regal bearing that commands respect from others. He likes to do things on a grand, royal scale, and he disdains pettiness. He will be known for his generosity of spirit.
Congratulations to the Valastros and the rest of their clan on the new arrival!
