September 1 - 8, 2010

Your week ahead with your baby

After a tumultuous August, September comes in quietly this week. Retrograde Mercury will join the Sun in Virgo on September 3, allowing for deep inner reflection: We’ll see ourselves from a new perspective and perhaps be able to break through debilitating habits and patterns. Keeping a journal is a great way to enhance this time of self-discovery. Here’s how this transit will affect your baby:

Your Cancer baby this week

The Sun and Moon in Virgo brings out the detective in inquisitive Cancer. Your infant is emerging from her newborn haze, and she’ll keep her eyes fastened to you and anything else that intrigues. Expect her naptime to fluctuate with this new consciousness before settling into a more predictable routine. Your Cancer toddler will  crave any chance to work on fine motor skills, so get out the crayons.

Your Cancer baby in 2010

The new moon in Cancer’s own sign plus the solar eclipse bring a zest for living your little crab will love! She’ll have the confidence to explore and take steps, but she also needs to feel your belief in her abilities, so hide any concerns you might have behind a smile. And keep in mind that your little one is completely in tune with the higher frequency of your thoughts. Keep them positive and she’ll take this planetary opportunity to thrive.
