Sister Satyana

Aries Satyana seems to be very excited about having a baby brother or sister on the way, mom Alyson Hannigan told Celebrity Baby Scoop recently:

"She's very excited about the baby and already showing signs of being a fantastic big sister. She rubs and talks to my belly. It's so sweet."

Satyana has a sweet Pisces Moon, so she will instinctively have a gentle approach with her little brother or sister, but she'll likely be quite protective too. Mars is a planet of will, but also of attack and defense. Mars is also in Pisces, emphasizing her tendency toward kindness and wanting to avoid conflict, but she is someone who will stand up and fight for the little guy, or the little sibling in this case, so don't mess with her family! 

Satyana's birth time is not publicly known, but if she were born in the morning or afternoon, Mars is close enough to her Moon to be conjunct, intensifying that effect. Her Sun and Venus in Aries indicate that Satyana's no pushover, however! She will hold her own well enough if siblings cross her boundaries. With that Leo south node, Satyana likes to shine (as we can see with her always smiling and bright in all the Paparazzi pics), so as long as she feels like she's getting enough attention, she'll probably enjoy a sibling. If not, look out for the diva to appear!

Army Wives' Catherine Bell: Big Sister and Little Brother

Army Wives' Catherine Bell recently talked with Parent & Child Magazine about her two kids, Gemma (8) and Ronan (almost 1):

"Our daughter Gemma is 8, and she’s self-reliant and can entertain herself, and then all of a sudden we had this little creature that you have to do everything for. But, I mean, obviously it’s wonderful. Gemma has grown into such a good big sister. She’s the best. She loves him so much; she’ll climb into his crib and cuddle with him."

Gemma has Mars in the sign of Capricorn, which makes for pretty good big sister material. She'll probably enjoy showing Ronan how to do big kid kinds of things, as Capricorn tends to enjoy taking on responsibility like the grown ups (and in fact, can sometimes seem like little adults!) Her Mars in Capricorn is very close to Ronan's Moon in Capricorn, so she'll probably be an influence that pushes him to always do his best.


Mom Catherine said that the family enjoys being outside, riding bikes or wake-boarding on the lake. Being an active Aries with an even more active Sagittarius south node, Gemma tends to get restless, so this is a great way for Gemma to work out all her exuberant energy! With Virgo Rising and a sensible Capricorn Moon, Ronan may be more of the indoor fun type, enjoying more low-key but creative fun, but he's got Jupiter in Aries in the 7th house of relationships, so she may be able to get a rise out of him and encourage him to try more adventure in his life.

Sounds like a fun family!

Big Sister Frances Pen

Amanda Peet, who recently gave birth to Molly June, says big sister Frances "Frankie" Pen is still adjusting as a big sister:

"It's been good; she's a little more moody than usual but it's not directed at the baby. It's more like, 'Frankie eat your broccoli,' and she starts screaming. She wants to have a baby in her belly and she wants to breastfeed."

While Frankie is a Pisces, her moon is in the sign of Aries, along with her Mars in Capricorn, two energies that indicate a desire to take charge and do things her way. With a moon in Aries, Frankie might be feeling a little competitive and left out, so there's a chance that she might want to be the one having the baby in her belly and breastfeeding to regain a sense of feeling important.

Being a Pisces, with a Virgo south node, Frankie has a strong desire to help, and with Mars in Capricorn, she knows exactly how she wants to do it! Capricorn is a sign of management in all senses of the word, not just a job title. Capricorn is about making plans and following through on those plans to reach your goals, something at which Frankie will typically be pretty good. Although, it might help for her to get a little older before she starts making plans on handling her new baby sister, since putting a newborn baby in a 3 year old's tummy probably isn't the most practical idea!
