Aries (March 21 - April 19) It's a day of contraries. The more you slow down the more quickly you will achieve what you set out to do. Early in the day is best for setting strategy; later it's all about getting the right team together.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) The day starts at a snail-like pace with you adhering strictly to your child's schedule. Later, though, you will be more open to deviations from the path. Which can lead to interesting explorations for you and your baby.
Gemini (May 21 - June 21) But why? Do I gotta? No matter what your child's age, you may find that they require a reason to undertake any activity. Later, though, a lighter trend means you can sweet-talk just about anyone into anything.
Cancer (June 22 - July 22) Strive for balance today. You may want your child to have sensible shoes and a conservative wardrobe for the new session at school or day care. But they also want to be a cool kid. A logical approach will help you find the middle ground.
Leo (July 23 - August 22) You're full of enthusiasm today, but that might not be enough to get your little one outfitted for a new season. It's better to stick with lighter pursuits that don't require results. Especially since cooperation will be lacking later in the day.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) You're ready to get down to business. Even though you may not accomplish all you set out to, it's an excellent day for setting a new schedule for the new season ahead. Early in the day is better than later, when your child's needs can throw you off.
Libra (September 23 - October 22) This is no time to bring up old issues, like how much you didn't like school. Instead, focus on encouraging your little tyke to look forward to the new term with optimism. You'll find you have a deep understanding of them.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Best postpone the back-to-school or day care shopping for today. Opposing ideas are bound to make it more difficult than it should be. And you will be in no mood to let your little one rock that out-there look come the big day!
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Resist the urge to go shopping for your baby today. Chances are you won't find any bargains, plus you'll later find you want to return what you do find. Creative projects are favored, though, especially late in the day.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) You may have to be content with progress that is slower than you wish early in the day. Determination and perseverance will lead to success. Don't push your luck in a money issue later in the day, though. Watch for impulse spending.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) You may find that you have less pep than usual as the day begins. But you'll pick up steam as the day progresses and be ready to handle just about anything. Even that last-minute side trip your little one insists is absolutely necessary.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) You know exactly what this group -- your tyke and their friends -- needs. It's you to lead them in some end-of-summer activity they'll enjoy. Earlier in the day is better than later, when you tend to run out of steam easily.
