What's in a sign?

I thought this was neat. Don't really believe in astrology, but some of the things match up and it always provides some entertainment. Enjoy!


Mom - Cancer / The Crab
Relax -- you were born to be a mama. Cancer moms are intuitive protectors of children and the most fertile sign in the Zodiac. Mothering likely comes easily to you -- sweet, sensitive, and caring, you have no problem providing the ample love and affection your child needs to thrive. You may find others marvel at your affinity for this new undertaking, and it's unlikely that others will feel inclined to offer up unsolicited parenting advice (thankfully!).
One important thing to remember, though, is that your baby bird will need to fly out of the nest on her own someday -- Cancer moms run the risk of being overprotective and preventing their little ones from learning the valuable life lessons available to them by making mistakes every once in a while. Remember to give your child room to explore the world independently. Don't be afraid to let her run on her own a little at the playground or park -- you can stay a few safe steps behind (I GUESS I GOT A LITTLE TOO RELAXED YESTERDAY, ABBY DID A PRETTY GOOD NUMBER ON HER KNEE RUNNING AROUND). And trust that she'll be just fine on that playdate or first day of nursery school. Take comfort in the fact that you've created a reassuring, safe haven for baby at home -- and knowing you and your ability to nurture, it's likely that there's delicious food cooking on the stove and that the rooms are beautifully decorated to boot.


Jake & Abby - Pisces / The Fish
Sensitive and emotional, Pisces babies feel the nuances of their environment very deeply. To blossom, your little one needs a secure, warm, nurturing home. Keep him close to your heart by carrying him in a sling as you run errands or tidy up around the house. Comfort him with classical music, soft lullabies, and soothing massages. Avoid loud, disturbing noises. He loves games like pat-a-cake and peekaboo (RIGHT ON!). Your little Fish will adore baths too, so make sure you've got plenty of water toys on hand (ABBY'S FAVORITE, BEWARE IF YOU TRY TO TAKE HER OUT BEFORE SHE'S READY TO GET OUT).
