MOST INTELLIGENT ZODIAC SIGN, ACCORDING TO ASTROLOGISTS _ Whether you’re an authoritative Aries or a caring Cancer, every zodiac sign has its most attractive traits. These astrological measurements can even predict everything from your romantic compatibility to your health. But when it comes to intelligence, which sign has the most brains? Aquarius and Scorpio are the smartest zodiac signs, astrologists say — but for two very different reasons. Those born under the Aquarius sign have the highest levels of analytical intelligence, which is measured by cognitive ability and IQ. Scorpios, on the other hand, have more perceptive smarts; they are best at realistically assessing and understanding the world at large. That’s not to say that other zodiac signs aren’t intelligent in their own ways. In fact, Geminis and Libras have plenty of mental smarts too, according to Neil Crabtree, an astrologist. Cancer and Pisces are the most emotionally intelligent; in other words, they are excel at recognizing and reasoning with their own and others’ feelings. Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn demonstrate practical intelligence. And the fire signs — Aries, Leo, and Sagitarrius — tend to be the most intuitive, making them more inclined to take risks and fill leadership positions.
THINGS I DON’T UNDERSTAND ABOUT MY CHILDREN _ One of the moms at the CafeMom website came up with a list of stuff she doesn’t understand about her kids. Are some of these on your list, too?

• Why can they never, ever agree on a movie to watch? They all like the same ones — why can they never agree on one on the same day?

• Why is it that I have to yank them out of bed every day for school, but come Saturday, they are up at the crack of dawn?
• Why, once we arrive to the pediatrician, do all of their symptoms suddenly disappear?
• Why is it that my diaper-wearing children always choose first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening to poop? I’m paying big bucks for him to be in daycare — the least they can do is wipe his tush.
• Why do they only choose freshly laundered bedding to have accidents in? Is there something about the smell of Downy that makes them wet themselves?
