It takes a village to raise a child. Sometimes we need a little extra guidance from the stars to manage motherhood. Momscope is here to help.
Aries
There's a lot of activity today, not all of it productive. Visits with friends or neighbors may not turn out as expected but you're quick to come up with an alternate plan. And quiet time, just you and baby, provides a sweet opportunity to bond.
Taurus
The devil is in the details today, a time when the little stuff can trip you up. Do read the fine print, whether on contracts, warranties or baby-food labels. A quick look online will reassure you that new toy hasn't been recalled!
Gemini
Your other half may have a point, you know. You have been monopolizing the kiddo. Let Dad have some quality time while you snatch some 'me' time. Your big plans won't all gel today, but that doesn't mean you can't dream big.
Cancer
What a long list of things your little one's 'gotta have' to go back to school or day care! Rather than pelting off to the mall, sit down with the tyke and edit. You won't feel so overwhelmed, and your other half will thank you for respecting the budget.
Leo
You find a new friend at the day care or playgroup. She's a gold mine of information, such as the best child-care providers. And someone you can really pour your heart out to over a large latte. Just make sure to reciprocate soon.
Virgo
It'll take more than logical explanations to get the tyke over first-day jitters at school or day care. Telling some funny or light stories from your own schooldays will help. So will listening, backed up with a few hugs.
Libra
Time to show the kiddo there are sources of information other than the Internet. A trip to the local library or bookstore could just inspire some latent bookworm tendencies, and give you a chance to get in that read you've been wanting so bad.
Scorpio
Hang on to your cash today. First, your other half is short a few dollars. Then the tyke thinks they can make it to the checkout without you noticing the extra toy in the cart. Fortunately, you see right through them.
Sagittarius
Spontaneity can get you where you don't want to go. Even though it seems like such a bargain, don't grab that family trip deal. There may be some fine print that's not in your favor. Little ears are very sharp today, so do watch what you say.
Capricorn
It's time to meet your kiddo's new teacher or day-care instructor. These professionals are such wonderful sources of information. Discuss any insecurities, and you'll realize it was just a case of new session nerves on your part.
Aquarius
On the surface it's all mom as usual, but the subtext is a different story. Send your other half some teasing text messages while you're grocery shopping. And don't forget to pick up some caviar and a bottle of wine after soccer practice.
Pisces
The kiddo may pester you to move, be it to a room of their own or a big-kid bed. It's not that you really object to the plan, but you've just got too much on your plate right now. Remember to breathe deeply -- and often -- and deal with it later.
