'I had my baby induced to ensure she was a Pisces, I thought I'd be a better mum to her'

Some people are seriously interested in horoscopes, star signs and all things mystical, but not quite to the point of one mum who took things to the next level when she was induced to ensure her child would be the same star sign as her.

Inbaal Honigman was so determined to have a Pisces baby that when doctors invited her to choose a date to be induced, she chose the one which would make her daughter a Pisces, not an Aries.

The 48-year-old from West Yorkshire is a Pisces herself, and so is her husband, and three of four of her kids are incidentally Pisces too.

Inbaal said: "When the first baby was due, I'm a Pisces and my husband is a Pisces and we had planned for our daughter to be a Pisces.

"She was conceived in Midsummer which was also Father's Day, and I did some Father's Day magic to conceive her.

"So the dream of a full Pisces family was in full swing, and then her due date came and went.

"I was still so in love with the idea of the full Pisces family so when I was given two induction dates, I picked the Pisces one."

Ibaal explained why having a Pisces child was important to her, other than the fact she's a psychic by trade.

She said: "Pisces are arty, loving and mature. Pisceans love the ocean, they love music and are all about romance.

"If my daughter had been any later (or if my Pisces sons came on their due dates), they'd have been Aries. Aries is still a fabulous sign, very sporty and active, friendly and laughs a lot - but they're always busy!

"I thought a laid-back Pisces like me would be a much better mum to Pisceans.

"As it happens, all my Pisces have very dominant Aries placements in their charts. My daughter has Mercury and Venus in Aries, which means she's very Aries in how she talks and how she is at home.

"My first son has Mercury in Aries, so again, he talks like an Aries, and my youngest has Mercury and Venus in Aries again - and for good measure, my Capricorn has Aries ascendant, so my desire to have calm, quiet household is a ridiculous fantasy now. All my kids are sporty, active, friendly and laugh a lot. And I wouldn't have it any other way."

Ibaals love of all things Zodiac even impacted her love life, as she claims when she was trying to meet a partner she changed her dating app settings so only Pisces and Sagittarius men could contact her.

"When I started online dating, in 2005, I actually set my account so that only Pisces and Sagittarius men could contact me.

"Since I'm a Pisces Sun sign with Sagittarius Moon, I thought it would be good to have a match.

"My previous relationships were horrifically incompatible, a Gemini who cheated and an Aries who was very cruel, so I thought I'd go for the familiar.

"Pisces (like my grandfather and my uncle, who are very loving chaps) sounded like a great match.

"Sagittarius is one of my favourite signs because they are irreverent. I love laughing at all the wrong jokes (due to my Sagittarius moon) and a good love match for me has to have a good sense of humour.

"Sagittarians are also big fans of travelling and commuting, and I love to be on the move, and they are a generous sign - nobody likes a stingy partner!

"I'd have been happy with either, but my husband is Pisces with Sagittarius rising, which is perfect."

Inbaal also explained how a previous dating disaster solidified her belief in the stars when she met a Gemini man who ended up leaving the date because of her Zodiac-based grilling.

She said: "We sat down for a drink and I asked for his birth date. I then typed it into my handheld device to check his star chart.

"I saw a lot of Gemini placements and laughed. I asked him whether he was unfaithful to his ex-wife. Geminis are super sociable, and as a result, struggle to stay faithful, which is a deal-breaker for me.

"Geminis are also very inclusive, and are sexually experimental by nature!

"He didn't answer, but he did leave the pub.

"He ended up marrying a friend of mine. She told me I was right on both counts. That he had cheated on his previous wife."
