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 Virgo baby this week

Mars going direct in Leo is a call for action, but baby Virgo wants to take it nice and easy; he’ll work hard to keep up this week. Your little one will be sensitive to the feeling of confrontation in the air and may want to hide out at home as much as possible. Keep in mind that he’ll move forward in his own gentle way, so encourage him to try new things at his own pace. The soothing sound of classical music will calm him down and let him channel his anxiety. And he’ll finish the week strong with your patience and love to guide him.

Your Virgo baby in 2010

Baby Virgo is ready for a dynamic year. As the T square (the alignment of Saturn, Pluto and Uranus ) transits out of your baby’s sign at the beginning of the year, you’ll notice her relaxing in a way she hasn’t been able to before. You’ll both breathe a big sigh of relief as her nervous nature gets a break. Sleepless nights will turn into peaceful ones, and your little one will display signs of contentment on a regular basis – how lovely! Virgo toddlers may show signs of a breakthrough in potty training, so grab the opportunity when yours is asking.
