November 4 - 11

Your week ahead with your baby

This week brings two important events to our sky. On November 4, Neptune goes direct—meaning forward rather than backward—which encourages all of us to take stock of our hopes and wishes. Under this transit, our imaginations will be ignited with curiosity and genius, and dreams really can come true! Adding to this shift in consciousness is a move by Venus into passionate Scorpio on November 7. Jealousies could be at their peak during this transit, but so will the capacity to feel and express deep feelings of love. Read on to learn how your baby will experience these transits.

Your Aquarius baby this week

Baby Aquarius is ready for change this week. Neptune, which had been visiting his sign, is now going direct, and this really clears the air. His imagination is free to explore, so watch him rev up and go. Early crawlers can’t decide what to explore first, so keeping the play area organized will give him a sense of purpose—and help prevent his meltdowns, too. Venus transiting in Scorpio will give your little one a strong sense of “I can do it”, making him force to be reckoned with. Just be patient as your Aquarian wants to have things his way.

Your Aquarius baby in 2009

This is really a fabulous year for baby Aquarius. Whatever move you make, it will tickle your baby pink – and that should help everyone be happy. Wherever your family may roam this year, you’ll have a contented companion in your child, so don’t hesitate to take her on trips. In fact, the more action the better – your baby will truly grow from the experience. On the physical level, you’ll be witnessing major growth spurts, and your baby is likely to be ahead of the curve in height and weight – her appetite is strong and unusually sophisticated for one so young. She may surprise you with her ability to read people and relate to everyone she meets; she’ll be a people magnet this year and will genuinely enjoy spreading her sunshine around.
