March 10 - 17, 2010:

Your week ahead with your baby

Mars has been retrograde for some time, but it goes direct on March 10, bringing renewed energy. Mars is still in Leo, which makes it possible for small squabbles to become big dramas or tempers to flare, but things will settle quickly as Mars gets turned around. This is how your baby feels about this week’s planetary change.

Your Cancer baby this week

This is a week of change and growth for baby Cancer. As Mars goes direct in Leo, your little crab will get, well, crabby. He wants to hide, especially from the feeling of confrontation filling the air. Expect him to be extra sensitive this week, with outbursts of emotion that may not make sense (to you, anyway). But this is also a week of transition – your little Cancer could be getting ready to crawl, and the planets will give him confidence. Encourage baby to flirt with his edge as he gets nearer his goal. Your Cancer toddler also needs encouragement to accomplish new things. Cheerleading from the sidelines will help your little one conquer all.

Your Cancer baby in 2010

Baby Cancer feels everything with an intensity most of us don’t, and this year’s transits are no different. The good news is that while the new year will bring an undeniable push for change, it will at least come in a framework that’s familiar to Cancer. She’ll go with the flow this year more than others, though, since this T square configuration embraces baby crabs. Yours is likely to handle developmental stages with ease and expertise, and you can expect her to grow quickly and seem wise beyond her months.
