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 Scorpio baby this week
Scorpio tots are very happy to have all the planets showing up in their sign. The singular energy created by this crowded house will make your sensitive little one feel completely comfortable, and everyone will delight in her presence. Newborns will be calm and collected; and Scorpio toddlers will become peacemakers, finding the love in their hearts impossible to contain. Sharing can often be a challenge for baby Scorpios, but with Venus transiting her sign this week, your little one can’t help but be magnanimous. But the best side effect of Venus will the never-ending flow of affection between you.
Your Scorpio baby in 2009
Scorpio babies are born serious, but this year will bring out the little rascal in them. Prepare yourself for stubborn streaks; your baby will want to battle you on every front. The best way to help your little scorpion give way is by trying your best not to react to his challenges

a tough one, but take a deep breath and you can do it! Scorpio wants to see who’s the boss, you want him to know it’s you, so stick to your plan and wear ear plugs if necessary. Your baby will also show signs of aesthetic awareness, so show him great graphics and art whenever you can (check out that packaging in the supermarket), and think about incorporating bright, bold colors in his room. Scorpio always yearns for artistic expression and this is heightened in 2009

expose him to all the beauty you can!
