4 Zodiacs With Starry-Eyed Souls

We all have an inner child who keeps us connected to our sense of wonder and excitement. But the first four signs of the zodiac are the “youngest” or most spiritually immature, meaning they are born with a childlike joy and curiosity unmatched by the other signs. When we’re around them, we feel inspired by their hope and enthusiasm, and are compelled to protect their wide-eyed innocence. Here are the four zodiacs with the purest, most naive souls, and how they express their childlike natures.

Aries: The Fire Newborn

As the very first sign of the zodiac, Aries possesses the most childlike soul of them all. And, as a fire sign, they are feisty, temperamental, eager, and energetic. Aries people see everything through fresh, wonderstruck eyes. Even the most jaded Aries can’t help but contain their excitement when it comes to their hopes, dreams, and the world around them. They can be a bit aggressive and competitive, turning everything into a game (at best) or a fight (at worst). These little balls of energy spread their passion for life like wildfire. You can tell when you’re in the presence of an Aries because their enthusiasm is infectious – you’ll feel inspired to finally tackle a project you’ve been considering head-on, setting aside your fear of failure. Bold, brave Aries people are natural cheerleaders – their childlike souls believe everything will work out, and they encourage their loved ones to pursue their passions!

Taurus: The Earth Baby

Taurus is the first earth sign, so this zodiac’s energy is grounded, steady, and comforting. Taurus people have a special connection to planet Earth, like a child playing in the sand and talking to trees for fun. They are loving and nurturing, and often fulfill the role of the reliable “rock” for their dear ones. The downside of Taurus’ childlike nature is their stubbornness – they are generally agreeable, but once they hit a wall, there’s no changing their mind. Like a child who refuses to go to bed or eat their vegetables, a Taurus standing up for their convictions won’t budge (whether they’re right or wrong). Their naivete shows in their acceptance of others – they tend to look for the good in people and can be very forgiving. These sweet babies are kind and gentle, and they inspire others around them to stay grounded, connect with the earth beneath their feet, and do what they can to take care of the planet and their fellow humans. 

Gemini: The Air Toddler

As the zodiac’s first air sign, Gemini people are social, outgoing, logical, and analytical. Their childlike nature shines through their intense curiosity – like a toddler navigating the world around them for the first time, Geminis crave new experiences and have an insatiable thirst for knowledge. They are naturally adaptable and thrive on change, like little kids who go with the flow because they are unburdened by expectations of how things “should” be. Geminis can also be quite mercurial, their moods swinging wildly from one strong emotion to the next – just like toddlers. Their childlike wonder and optimism show in their enthusiasm when discussing new ideas and topics that capture their vivid imagination. They love connecting with strangers and bonding over shared niche interests. Their excitement is contagious, and you could easily spend hours chatting with a Gemini about a concept or a project that motivates you.

Cancer: The Water Child

Ordinarily, the youngest water sign is kind, sensitive, and docile. However, Cancer people experience their feelings very intensely, like a child just beginning to learn emotional regulation. Their tempers may flare or they’ll easily burst into tears, but they can also be sweet and sunny. Cancer’s childlike nature shows in their full spectrum of emotions and their vulnerability in expressing them. They are innately protective and nurturing, and parent-child relationships are of the utmost importance to them (regardless of whether they are the parent or the child). Like a little kid playing with baby dolls, Cancers derive a sense of pleasure from learning to care for others. Their earnest devotion to their parents and even their own children is so innocent and pure – it’s one of the best things about this loving, intuitive zodiac sign.
