Aries (March 21 - April 19) You may find you are content to let your little tyke do the center-of-attention thing while you stay in the background. That will give you some time to yourself, either for a burst of creativity or chance to be of service in a meaningful way.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) Just as Venus and Mars have separate orbits, so do passion and romance. But today you may find that they are in cosmic harmony. Book a babysitter and explore new possibilities with your mate this evening when it's all systems go.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) Today, you will want to give some thought to where you put your energy. Some will be devoted to self-improvement, maybe even starting or completing a makeover. Joining a health club or a new class aimed at physical fitness is favored.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Today, you will find that your kiddo can be incredibly passionate about the most mundane things. So throw away their scrap paper or bottle cap collection at your own peril. It could turn out to mean a lot more to them than you thought.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) You and your little one may share your love of vintage things today. With you it is classic fashion. With them it's more like used tissues and gum wrappers and whatnot that have been in their pockets since Christmas. Best conduct regular checks.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You may have to dig deep for answers today. Like when your little one asks why certain body parts shouldn't be mentioned and when you do some names are considered rude and some aren't. You may have some explaining to do.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Today, you will likely receive a flash of insight about your financial situation. You can find creative ways to generate some extra money. But steer clear of any proposition that involves putting some cash up front. It likely won't work out in the long run.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) The sky's the limit as far as you're concerned today, which could inspire you to finally satisfy a special dream or ambition. Talks are intense and yield vital information. You're in no mood to take 'no' for an answer!
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Watch as your little one pays it forward. All the respect and kindness and consideration you have treated them with they now lavish on their pets and other children. It's wonderful to watch them in action and to know that you set it in motion.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) 'But Mom, you gotta!' Well, actually you need to look at all the details today before you jump into buying that new course or gadget or toy for your tyke. There's a lot of information you need to gather and then consider so you can make a wise decision.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Today, you may want some time to think some private thoughts. You might find a window while your kiddo is at daycare or playgroup. Time to sort out your feelings about a cherished ambition and to make a plan to advance it.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) 'But, mom, you gotta!' There's a fine line between helper and doormat. It is okay to say 'no' if your kiddo makes outrageous requests, especially if not accompanied by the magic words: 'Please' and 'thank you.' Very okay.
