Spice Babies!

Emma Bunton, otherwise known as "Baby Spice," has a little Leo boy celebrating his 4th birthday this Wednesday, Beau.

With his accomodating Libra Ascendant, Beau can probably share the spotlight happily with his new baby brother, Tate, but his 4 planets in Leo reveal he'll probably be quite pleased to have an occasion where he gets to shine! Beau is sure a cutie. Check out this pic of he and his daddy, Jade Jones, at the Kung Fu Panda 2 premiere.

Happy Birthday, Beau! Here's a Spice Baby roundup to mark the occasion:

Geri Halliwell (middle), known as "Ginger Spice" has a 5-year-old Taurus girl named Bluebell Madonna.

Melanie Chisholm, a.k.a. "Sporty Spice" (left) has Pisces baby girl Scarlett, now 2-1/2.

Melanie Brown, called "Scary Spice" (second from right) has two daughters and another one on the way this month: 12-year-old Pisces Phoenix Chi and Aries Angel Iris, 4 years old.

It's two babies for "Baby Spice" Emma Bunton: (right) Leo Beau, almost 4 years old, and Taurus Tate, just 3 months old!

Victoria Beckham, "Posh Spice" (second from left), just welcomed new baby girl, Cancer Harper Seven, who has three older brothers: Pisces Brooklyn Joseph, Virgo Romeo James, and Pisces Cruz David.

Mommy Styles: Moon Signs and Mothering

There's lots of new (and 'renewed') moms in Hollywood this summer! Victoria Beckham had baby girl Harper Seven, Kate Hudson welcomed Bingham Hawn, Pink has a brand new love, Willow Sage, and Alicia Silverstone had her baby Bear Blu, to mention only a few. When it comes to being a mom, everyone has lots of advice to give, but the bottom line tends to be "do what you think is best" by relying on your natural mothering instincts.

Astrology knows the mothering instinct is primarily governed by Moon. The Moon in a mom's chart represents their style of nurturing and protecting their little ones. Here's a look at each of these Hollywood mom's styles according to their moon signs:


Victoria Beckham
Mom to 3 boys and new baby girl Harper Seven
Aquarius Moon
An Aquarius Moon mommy's primary goal is to discover and foster their child's individuality. They don't tend to be too overprotective or overbearing, preferring to take a more hands-off stance and let their child find out what works for them, with guidance, of course. Being an air sign, Aquarius Moon mommies will encourage their child to communicate, learn, and be objective. Victoria has already been known to encourage her children to be aware of others, especially those less fortunate than them, a common Aquarian trait. Harper's moon is in Scorpio, so she may may be a little more emotional and intense than mom.

Alicia Silverstone
Mom to new baby boy Bear Blu
Pisces Moon
A Pisces Moon mommy has a big heart, and wants to pour out the love on her little one. Emotional bonding and sensitivity is high on their list, which can make mommy and baby extremely close. Techniques such as attachment parenting might be something a Pisces Moon mom would like, which is a technique that focuses on developing a child's sense of empathy and fostering a close child-parent bond. Alicia will be highly sensitive to the emotional needs of Bear. Bear has a Gemini Moon, so he'll love that nurturing but will want lots of room to explore his curiosity and less likely to be as tenderhearted as mom.

Pink
Mom to new baby girl Willow Sage
Aries Moon
An Aries Moon mommy will encourage her child to explore and try new things. Not likely to be too overprotective, Aries Moon moms know that life is messy and they don't try to keep their children from making messes and living life to the fullest. Pink will likely enjoy a very active life with Willow. Aries Moon moms also tend to like playful teasing, nicknames, and physical play like tickle fights. They are not likely too be too gushy or sentimental, sometimes more of a fan of tough love, but nurture their children with affection and loyalty. Willow has a Gemini Moon, so she'll probably appreciate mom giving her lots of leeway to allow her curiosity to get her into creative trouble!

Kate Hudson Mom to new baby boy Bingham Hawn Capricorn Moon
A Capricorn Moon mommy really likes to keep their eye on the ball and takes the responsibility of raising their children seriously. Capricorn likes to see achievement and wants to help their child gain maturity through taking on their own responsibilities and moving them toward independence. Capricorn Moon moms may be a fan of tools like responsibility charts and award/allowance systems to help their child grow. Kate may seem rather laid back on the outside (she's got cheerful Jupiter parked on her Ascendant, signifying an overall optimistic and laid-back outlook on life), but she'll want to make sure her kids are well-equipped to grow into responsible adults. Bingham's Moon lies in Scorpio so he'll probably be more focused on his feeling experience rather than just what's practical or efficient.

Harper Seven Crashes the Beckham Boys' Club

Victoria and David Beckham became parents for the 4th time on July 10th, when baby girl Harper Seven, crashed the Beckham Boys' Club, long established with the birth of three boys in a row: Pisces Brooklyn Joseph (12), Virgo Romeo James (8), and Pisces Cruz David (5).

While mom Victoria has always been a fan of the name Harper, the baby's middle name, Seven, is significant for several reasons. Not only is it dad's jersey number, but Harper was born in the 7th hour of the day on the 7th day of the week and the 7th month of the year. It may also be spiritually significant to the couple, who participate in the Kabbalah movement, which says that 7 is a number of wholeness and completion. Perhaps with the birth of a daughter, they finally feel their family is complete!

Harper's chart is known as a Splash chart pattern, because of the wide distribution of planets all over the chart, which suggests a well-rounded personality with diverse interests, although it can indicate someone who's energies can be scattered in as many directions as their interests!


It's likely that this little girl is going to be very bright, talkative, and have excellent powers of observation. She has the planet Mercury, which represents learning, communication, and observation, right on her Ascendant, so it's the planet she 'leads' with in life. In Leo, she can be quite charming, so she may be able to talk others around her little finger!

She also has her south node in Gemini in the 11th house, indicating that what comes naturally to her (south node) is observations about the world at large, and a natural way of investigating everything she can. Mars is also in Gemini in the 11th house, revealing a strong motivation (Mars) to satisfy her curiosity about the world (11th house). She won't be satisfied with her small little corner of the world for long, so it's a good thing she's been born into a family where she doesn't lack for travel opportunities.

This little one's curiosity will know no bounds, and she'll likely be into everything--the cupboards, mom's purse, whatever she can get her hands on. It's likely she'll crawl and walk early if she can manage it, since satisfying curiosity is much more possible when you can move. With that insightful Moon in Scorpio in the mix, nothing will escape Harper's awareness for long. This girl Seven has a 'sixth sense!'
