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.

This new Moon accents the work routine. You're still working harder than you'd like to, but an overdue reward can soon be yours. Speaking of routines, you might want to give the little one a practice drill for next month's change of school or day-care schedule.

You and your other half are in sweet synch today. Grab a few moments before the kiddo gets up and plan your day. You're definitely on the same wavelength when it comes to having a quiet dinner together. And how to get the little one down early.

You can talk until you're blue in the face, but your little one will still tune you out. Actions speak more loudly now, such as withdrawing television privileges until the chores are done. Way to get on the same wavelength!

Of course your tyke appreciates your talent in the kitchen. But you're much more concerned with nutrition than treats today. With a little ingenuity, you can make a broccoli dish that has 'em asking for more!

You may be regretting the big shopping trip, but that's what return policies are for. Today's more sober influences help you go through the kiddo's school or day care wardrobe with an eye to the basics. Some of the pricey duds really should go back.

The vague idea for a side business suddenly begins to take shape. You can now see how it would fit your schedule and make a profit. Now is the time to start making plans, but don't forget to consult someone with more experience.

Of course, you want the kiddo to wow the other kids in the new class or day-care session. But they'd rather have the t-shirt with the silly saying than the designer duds. Compromise this once, even though it pains your fashion sense.

Low-profile just isn't your style today. Do show what an excellent manager you are as you juggle mom and work duties, as someone higher up will be impressed with you. There are money issues you don't know about, though, so best not ask for a raise.

You're first out of the starting gate today, herding the little one before you. Once you get to work, though, it's slow and steady wins the race. Resist storming the boss's office to ask for a raise. Just wait for a bit.

Projects that involve planning and precision are favored today. You might take on a big fundraising event for the day care or other cause. Make time for the little one, who needs help drawing up the guest list for that very important tea party.

The kiddo's putting on a show today -- for real. It could be a play at camp or a vernissage at the art class. Make sure your face matches your enthusiastic words of praise. We know you're a little critical today, but keep most of it to yourself.

Today's Moon energy means you and the other half can write a new chapter in your life together. Dream and scheme to your hearts' content; you can always edit later. The tyke may want to add a line or two, but today is really about you and Dad.
