What will J-Lo be like as a mother?

Jennifer Lopez is a strong-willed Leo with the maternal Moon in either emotional Scorpio or adventurous Sagittarius. The differences between them are strong, but J-Lo's Venus may overpower them.

Mama-to-be Jennifer Lopez is a Leo, and Leos tend to be stage mothers. If they have the money, they love to dress up their children like little princes and princesses. Leo mama Madonna is a good example. All children are projections of their parents to some extent, but when you're a world famous singer, dancer and actress like J-Lo, and married to a famous father too, treating your child like royalty can be hard to resist. The Sun sign is the key to one's personality, but the Moon is the planet of home, family and mothering. The Moon changed signs on the day that J-Lo was born and there is no public record of her birth time, so there are two candidate signs for J-Lo's Moon -- Scorpio and Sagittarius. The Moon was in Scorpio for the first half of July 24, 1969, the day J-Lo was born, and Sagittarius the second half. The Moon in deep, dark passionate Scorpio is especially rich in psychological complexity. Scorpio is the time of year when the leaves fall from the trees and the call of winter grows louder. The seasonal processes in nature reflect Scorpio's role as guardian of the gates of life and death. This can often make for a fearful mother, but a fierce and courageous one who conquers her fears. The power of Scorpio's emotions is amplified by the heroic force of J-Lo's Leo Sun. This is a square, a tense 90-degree aspect between two fixed signs, a cross of fiery Leo's faith in the power of life and Scorpio's in the power of death. The contrast between confident, outgoing Leo and complex Scorpio makes a person strong and controlling.

Pregnancy Report

Based on the Sun sign Astrology of your child's due date, this report describes the personality traits that your child will likely exhibit during your pregnancy and beyond.

    The Moon entered Sagittarius at 1:11 pm on that summer day when the Bronx gave the world Jennifer Lopez. Sagittarius is a fire sign like Leo. A mom with the Moon in Sagittarius is optimistic and encourages her child to explore the world. A Leo with a Sagittarius Moon seeks experience for herself and for her children. Bumps and bruises are small inconveniences in the pursuit of happiness. We cry, but we move on quickly toward what's ahead, rather than pull back in self-defense. The Moon is the symbol of mother in a chart, but it is not the only planet that affects mothering -- they all do. Venus is feminine, like the Moon; she is the planet of love, beauty and affection. J-Lo has Venus in playful Gemini but potent Pluto, Scorpio's ruling planet, forms a stressful square with Venus that mixes love and fear in a powerful combination that's not likely to make for an easygoing partner in relationships -- or a chill mom for that matter. to advance her craft, making it possible for her maintain success for decades to come.
