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 Aries baby this week

This week brings positive change to Aries. Scorpio’s watery energy has been causing your little fireball to lose his patience, but Neptune’s change of direction will have a wonderful effect on your straight-to-the-point child. He’ll find it easier to communicate his needs (no more food-throwing tantrums when the meal isn’t just right!), so you’ll both feel as if you’re on the same page again. But be wary of Venus in Scorpio, which could bring out the possessive side of your baby ram. Put away precious belongings before friends come to play, and you’ll both be much happier.

Your Aries baby in 2009

Imagination and creativity govern the year for little Aries. Your child’s inner genius is enhanced as the transits of Jupiter and Neptune are sending messages of innovation to the Aries sun! She’ll show you new and surprising ways to approach playing with the average toy… and lead others to find fun in exciting ways. You may find that she’s catching a few extra colds this year, especially around season changes, so plan on much needed rest. It’s never easy for rams to slow down, but they do need quiet time! This year brings awareness of relationships into focus for baby Aries, so remember her watchful eyes and ears — she feels and reacts to pressure (like domestic spats!) at home, so try to keep it light.
