Parents are timing their pregnancies to coincide with desirable zodiac sign birth months — and it’s a phenomenon that stretches back years.
According to some reports, several parents are planning to have their child nine years later.
Reddit has many threads dedicated to this trend.
“Has anyone tried planning their future children’s zodiac based on you and your s/o zodiac?” the Reddit question begins.
“My husband thinks I’m crazy for wanting to plan our next child according to signs so that when we do have another child we can all be compatible.”
Dozens weighed in, including one person who said: “Dad is a Gemini, mom is an Aquarius, and they planned me as a Gemini and I was born in the dead center of Gemini.
“I think it’s a great idea! My parents and I had an incredible relationship.”
Another added: “I like the idea of adding a Libra. I have had three best friends that have been Libras so I thought maybe that could work!”
According to Vice, belief in zodiac signs is prevalent among multiple aspiring parents in America who plan when they want to conceive their child.
However, it doesn’t always go to plan.
The outlet spoke to many parents who had their babies a little too early or too late in order to fulfill their dreams of having the perfect Zodiac sign.
Mackenzie Warren from North Carolina was hoping for Scorpio children, but her daughter ended being Libra.
The couple tried again, but this time they deliberately delayed it to avoid a Pisces. It worked again, and they ended up in Aquarius.
Then there’s Kimberly Miller, from Los Angeles, who told the publication that she really didn’t want a Virgo child because that had been her mother’s zodiac, who was quite uptight.
As the Virgo months approached, she tried many things to speed up the process.
The mom-to-be ate “maternity salad” and even underwent Buddhist chanting upon a friend’s suggestion.
Her daughter, now a teenager is reportedly very laid back despite being Virgo.
