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 Capricorn baby this week

Capricorn is ready for change, and this week brings an important shift in her emotional climate. Although your baby makes it a rule to hide her sensitivity, you’ll notice less tension and a more relaxed demeanor this week, as well as more solidly routine sleep patterns. Neptune going direct means that clear thinking is back in focus, which is great news for goal-oriented Capricorn, and Venus in Scorpio will also help her delve deeper into learning. This is a great time to go to the children’s museum! But be warned: Once she’s there, she won’t want to leave, so plan accordingly.

Your Capricorn baby in 2009

A fantastic year lies ahead for baby Capricorn! Those just arriving in the world are lucky to have a fully supportive planetary line-up, which you’ll instantly observe in your newborn's serene disposition. Whatever age your little Capricorn is, 2009 will bring change to his family and home – and he will find this change positive and exciting. Little goats in their first year will thrive on a family dynamic that is goal-oriented. If you're getting ready to change jobs or move to a new area for the sake of work, this shift will fit right into your baby's need to feel the surge of creative energy and movement around him, so don’t feel guilty about the disruption! Capricorn babies beginning their second year right now will be more vocal about the situation. They'll meet change solemnly and help you get through to the next phase – you can count on your baby's help and cooperation as he sees the bigger picture of his role in the family. He’s physically strong and sturdy this year, although language may lag slightly. This is nothing to worry about – baby Capricorn is careful to think before he speaks. Soon he’ll be giving lectures on everything he knows, so enjoy the peace while you can!
