Aries - The Aries mom is bold, daring, and likes to be in charge. She’s smart, sassy, and expects her kids to jump when she calls. She pushes her kids hard, and expects them to be competitive and the best at everything. She sets high standards for herself and expects nothing less of her family too. She loves to try new things, like the latest fashion fads. She’s a bit bossy, but as long as you follow her orders, life is grand! The Aries mom is a "take charge" type of woman whose inner strength cannot be denied.

Taurus - The Taurus mom is dependable and hard-working. She is one of the most domesticated of all signs and works hard to give her kids a solid home base. She can be quite stubborn and once she makes her mind up, cannot be pushed to change it. She’s down to earth, logical and family oriented. She has a lot of patience but when she gets riled, watch out. This mom has quite a temper! She is money motivated and wants to make sure there’s always “enough” cash in her checkbook and rainy day account. This woman can spot a bargain a mile away and knows how to squeeze a dollar out of a dime.

Virgo - Yes this mom can be fussy and nitpicky and always tell you what to do. Wear your coat outside. Bundle up. Take your vitamins. She cares...alot. She analyzes every little thing you do and probably sticks her nose in your business (although she would not admit it). She doesn’t mean to meddle but she loves you so much and wants your life to be perfect! Your date for the prom will never measure up to her standards. But who cares? She loves you and that’s her way of showing it: pushing you to be more, to reach the potential she sees in you. This mom does everything for everybody but seldom does she take time out for herself. She needs to be needed.
