As posted before, this is the year of the Aries mom. Kate Hudson, Victoria Beckham and Mariah Carey are all Aries queens who have recently announced pregnancies. Now, Cynthia Nixon has joined the club: Nixon's wife, Christine Marinoni, gave birth to a son -- the couple's first child together -- on February 7. Cynthia is also an Aries, which, coincidentally, is the sign of surprise and trendsetting. So, is revealing pregnancies just as the babies arrive the next big thing in Hollywood?

It sure seems so. Owen Wilson (Scorpio) and Nicole Kidman (Gemini) also shared news of their babies just before or after their arrival. But while it's obvious that celebrities want their privacy during pregnancy, the ubiquitous paparazzi can make this a near impossible feat. However, with the move of Jupiter (the planet of expansion) in Aries (the sign of surprises), this period, which lasts until June 4, should bring unexpected news of all varieties ... in a good way. So, for the next six months, expect to hear about more late-breaking Hollywood pregnancies, because right now shock value is the new black.
