| Managing Mom - the astrology of Mother's Day '02 |
There's one day of the year when no matter how old you are, you're a kid again -- or, more specifically, your mother's child. And as always, the stars in heaven influence our lives down on Earth on Mother's Day.
Mother's Day always occurs while the Sun is in Taurus, but the changing location of the other heavenly bodies makes each celebration distinct. This year finds many planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn) in Gemini. This makes Mother's Day '02 one emphasizing communication and variety.

Gemini is the sign of the Twin, and indeed, the Moon will be visiting two signs on May 12th. In the early morning, a New Moon in Taurus occurs when the Sun and Moon meet in the sign of the Bull. So if you intend to give presents, do so early in the day, when Taurean materialism will help Mom appreciate your gift.
By mid-evening, though, the Moon moves into Gemini, so if you want to sit and chat, try the latter half of the day, or have dinner after sunset, as lunar Gemini promises heartwarming conversation for all.
Each sign will be impacted differently by the Moon's transit through Taurus and Gemini. So to ensure a happy and peaceful Mother's Day, check Mom's sign below. Astrology transcends gift-giving; the stars can tell you how to manage mom.
Aries
If Mom is a Ram, you can make this a Mother's Day to remember by putting your money where your heart is, and chipping in to pay a big bill for her. Whether it's her monthly mortgage or just part of the phone bill, a courteous contribution that lets her know you're thinking of her will be a special touch that she really appreciates.
Taurus
Your momma Bull will be expecting all sorts of trinkets and baubles, and you sure don't want to disappoint her, do you? Find her a nice piece of jewelry in her favored style, but making her Mother's Day truly special means making sure that whatever you get her has a personalized twist -- a monogram, her zodiac sign, or some other touch that emphasizes her individuality.
Gemini
If your Gemini mother hasn't already taken the plunge, a makeover is the gift that will do her just right. Let each of the siblings in your family each take care of one part of the whole: the haircut, the manicure, the facial, the massage, the pedicure. What, you say Mom has already been there, done that? A day at the spa never gets old, and would still hit the spot.
Cancer
Want to drag your Crab Mom out of her shell on this special day? Your strategy involves a delightful surprise. Do some research, find an old friend she has lost touch with, and arrange for a surprise visit -- or at least an out-of-the-blue Mother's Day phone call. Emphasizing nostalgia, and letting her know that you remember the people who matter to her, will make this a day she'll always remember.
Leo
Your Lion Mother will roar with delight if she's allowed to rule on her very own day. Forget trying to plan and prod everyone along; instead, just listen to what Mom wants to do most, and help make sure she gets to do it. You can manage Mom best this year by letting her take the lead.
Virgo
On this Mother's Day, Virgo Moms will be happiest when they're traveling, whether to a party in their honor, visiting friends, or a touring local parks and museums with their children. With a new moon in Mom's house of travel spurring her on to go, go, go, the last thing you should spend her special day doing is sitting around at home.

Libra
Your Libra mother might normally manage best by managing everyone else -- so your best strategy is just grinning and bearing it -- but this will be one Mother's Day where you can just sit back and watch the affection of a loving mate make everything all right. If Mom is single, however, make sure to be extra attentive, as Libras will need the give-and-take of partnership a little more than usual this year.
Scorpio
Mother's Day might find your Scorpio Mom keeping tabs on just who's in attendance, how they're behaving and what they brought. Your mother's need to be in control will dominate any festivities, so prepare to play peacemaker among those who want to take this role away from her.
Sagittarius
So much activity in your mother's partnership house will propel your
Sagittarian mom into the spotlight. Make sure she has enough one-on-one time with everyone, but remember that her need to bond with everyone in attendance must be balanced by making sure that nobody preoccupies her for more than their fair share of time.
Capricorn
Capricorn Mom will (of course) want to be of service on Mother's Day, whether by volunteering to help the less fortunate or simply by taking care of all the details of a family get-together. This need to please might leave Mom exhausted, stressed-out or otherwise in less then stellar shape when it comes to her big day itself, so make sure things go well by enforcing mandatory breaks for your favorite hostess with the mostest.
Aquarius
Those selfless moms born under the sign of the Water Bearer will want to use Mother's Day as much to honor their children as to pay attention to themselves. Monitor your Aquarian mother's spending carefully; all that Gemini planetary activity could wind up urging her in the direction of lavishing her children with outrageously expensive gifts.
Pisces
Your Piscean mother wants this year's celebration to be a low-key get-
together at her place. A pot-luck dinner for a small group on Sunday evening will be a perfect time to swap stories and catch up on everyone's life. Easy? Yep? Cheap? Sure. Perfect? You bet -- this is everything Mom could possibly want.
