Weekly Astrology Overview at Tarot.comI have quite a few female friends who either recently had babies or who are expecting babies in coming months, but no one who is expecting this week. Which is too bad, because I just found out it’s baby genius week!

Babies born between about January 20-27, 2013 will benefit from a number of cosmic influences that might put the spark of brilliance into those little baby brains.

Astrologer Maria DeSimone wrote about this in her Weekly Astrology Overview, calling out a couple of specific aspects: Mercury in Aquarius sextile Uranus in Aries and Mercury in Aquarius trine Jupiter in Gemini.

These aspects stimulate great ideas and dynamic abilities of expression, and while we’ll all enjoy those benefits this week — babies born now will benefit from them forever in their cosmic makeup.

If you’ve got a newborn infant on your hands, I suggest you start saving for grad school now!
