As you watch your baby sleep, do you ever think about all the trouble they will get into in a few years? You might want to put on your running shoes if you are holding one of the kids born on May 18. Numerology suggests these babies are surprisingly active. Most people think of Taurus babies as calm and quiet. They are stable Taurus people, but they also like to "see what is over that hill."
To read the horoscope for a baby born on May 17th or 18th, you have to get past the usual names like "stubborn bull." Your child is very grounded but also very curious.
The Lowdown on May 18th Astrology
Taurus, an Earth sign, is the star sign for May 18th. Astrology says that Earth signs are what keep us all in check. Being practical, they love good food, and they really value a soft blanket. But the 18th of May is a bit different because it is close to the end of the Taurus season. They seem to have picked up some of the fast-paced energy of the Gemini season while still being true to their Taurus roots.

Your baby is likely to have a "champagne taste" since Venus is still in charge of the May 18 birth date. They look for quality. They want the nicest clothes and the tastiest snacks. But these babies do not want to stay in their playpen all day like some other Taurus kids do. They want to explore the whole house.
Personality Quirks: What's Your Little Bull Like?
Your 18th of May horoscope says that your child is brave and very busy. It will be clear from the way they look. A lot of babies might give up after one or two tries to grab a toy. Not this one. They are willing to wiggle across the floor for twenty minutes if they want that rattle.
One of their best qualities is that "can-do" approach. They have a "Fixed" nature, which means they can be very set in their ways once they make up their minds. You can see it in their resolve to learn to walk and maybe even their stubbornness when it is time to put on shoes. It all comes from a desire to master their world.
There is a deep well of loyalty under all that action. These kids really bond with those they love. That person will not forget their favorite teddy bear at the park, and they will never forget who gives the best hugs at bedtime. Even though they want to crawl away to find the cat, they feel safe with you.
Parenting Tips: Helping Your May 18th Soul Thrive
If you are working with May 18th astrology, you know right away that these kids need to move to be happy. A cooped-up May 18th baby is a grumpy one.
Giving them freedom of movement changes everything. There will be a lot of time on the floor trying to figure out how their legs work, so the Momcozy Baby Portable Playmat comes in handy. If they "tumble" as toddlers, it will protect them, but it is also soft enough to meet their Venus-ruled need for comfort.
These kids also like to see new things. They stop crying as soon as you leave the house. Taking them on "expeditions" around the neighborhood is a good way to use up that mental energy. This works great with the Momcozy ChangeGo Baby Stroller. It is strong enough for long walks and lets your child see the birds, plants, and neighbors that they are so interested in.
One thing to keep an eye out for is that Taurus energy can sometimes be linked to the mouth and nose. They might be a little more "stuffy" when it is allergy season or when people have colds. Do not forget to pack a Momcozy Baby Nasal Aspirator in your baby bag. It clears them up much faster than old-school bulb syringes, so they don't have to struggle with a runny nose.
The Sleep Strategy: Burning Off Energy
Because your baby has so much energy, they need a good wind-down routine to help them sleep.
- Active Play First: Let them wiggle and move as much as possible during the day.
- Predictable Routine: Like all Taurus children, they love a schedule. A warm bath and a story at the same time every night will help their busy brains settle down.
Choosing the Right Name
Pick a name that balances Taurus stability with their adventurous heart. Nature names like Brooks, Fern, or Forest lean into their Earth element. For something stronger, Everett (brave), Valentina (healthy), or Leo (bold) match their determination. Since Venus rules them, melodic choices like Maya, Callista, or Lowell add that necessary touch of grace.
Raising one of these little Bulls is a wild and wonderful ride. You get a child who is stable and sweet like a Taurus, but with a heart that’s always looking for the next big thing. Your child will be both strong and kind if you keep them active during the day and warm at night. Before they try to dig up the roses to see what the roots look like, they will teach you to slow down and smell the flowers.
