The Silver Lining by Jennifer Lynch

Every so often a small easy, entertaining read comes along and with it comes a lot of wisdom and inspiration.  The book “The Silver Lining”  by Jennifer Lynch is one of those.   There are a lot of things to like about this book. One of them is that it speaks on many levels.  It’s $10.99 well spent.

1. In your book “The Silver Lining,” we learn that you were adopted. You also teach about manifestation in the book. Do you believe that being adopted has any bearing on someone’s ability to manifest?

Being adopted can impact on feelings of self worth because you may feel a deep down rejection. It doesn’t matter how many times you have been told that you are loved, in my experience the initial rejection stays with you on a sub-conscious level and this needs healing. Yes, I believe that you have to have reached a place where you believe in your own self worth in order to manifest successfully.

2. What do you think is the biggest mistake people are making today in manifestation?

I believe that manifestation comes from being balanced. It is essential to work on your chakras through meditation. Manifestation also comes from the earth. Grounding is also essential as well as being in the now moment where anything is achievable. If your base chakra is not functioning properly because it is not balanced, it will be impossible to manifest.

3. What is the second mistake, if there is one, and what can people do about it?

Manifesting is possible with a non detached attitude (i.e. believing that it is going to happen without questioning how and why. All we need to do is to work on our own energy field and completely believe in who we are. It is achievable if we are able to let go and surrender to new possibilities through self belief.

4. You’ve interspersed your poetry throughout the book. Why? How does it help people?

My poetry has been published in anthologies and also magazines in the UK. I believe that the poetry in “The Silver Lining” reveals a lot of hidden emotion which the reader can relate to on a soul level. It is guided and channeled and it is also healing. When someone identifies with something like a poem, they can often understand a more complex process.

5. What is your definition of the “silver lining” and why is it important?

“The Silver Lining” is an amazing journey. It is my journey but it is also is a book that most people can relate to. It’s aim is to reach out to others to embrace life as it is. Sometimes we miss the silver ‘ining we already have. We may experience hurt and pain in our lives but we also experience a oneness in being part of the greater good or “connected consciousness” which is constantly evolving bringing transformation to us as individuals and planet earth. It is this connectedness which gives us hope and with it a greater understanding of how we experience LIFE!

6. Where can people buy “The Silver Lining?”

“The Silver Lining” is available on www.amazon.co.uk as both paperback and Kindle edition, www.amazon.com www.voiceoftheangels.com and www.angelwisdom.co.uk

An Interview With Sandy Sims – Author of Creative Thinking for the 21st Century

Recently, I came across a very interesting man, Sandy Sims, who is the author of the book  Creative Thinking For The 21st Century — An Experiential Guidebook. He’s on a virtual book tour now and he graciously granted me an interview, which follows.  But first here is some background on this fascinating person:


Sandy Sims:

Sandy Sims was raised and educated in the South. After serving as naval officer and finishing graduate business school, he followed a dream to live in Honolulu where he built one of Hawaii’s most successful advertising agencies.

The crisis of personal health and business setbacks opened the way to larger spiritual dimensions including a long association with the Caddy family, founders of the Findhorn Spiritual Community in Scotland His book,”How Frank Lloyd Wright Got Into My Head, Under My Skin And Changed The Way I Think About Thinking — A Creative Thinking Blue Print For the 21st Century,” is a memoir of his journey culminating in a 20 year project with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

He has collaborated with Psychiatrist, Kerry Monick M.D., and authored Creative Thinking For The 21st Century, An Experiential Guidebook. Accepting the science that our intention does indeed affect the material world, it addresses what to be thinking about, how to shape these thoughts, and what might be the best way to avoid unintended consequences.

When not travelling, Sandy resides in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico where you can find him writing, playing tennis, poking around with his camera and embracing a new culture.



The interview:


1.  Sandy, explain to us what creative thinking is and how someone uses it for solving problems.

First of all there are probably over a hundred different models for creativity and my statements are based upon trying out a non-linear manifestation model and reporting on the results. The primary reason I have referred to these as “thinking patterns” for the 21st century is that we are being forced to seek new ways to exist. Technology increases the number of experiences available at a blinding pace, and seems to steal time in the same breath. For me creative thinking is as follows:

A process of continuously petitioning the unconscious field to obtain the new.

This model suggests that new knowledge emerges through the unconscious mind and that aspects of this mind may be shared via intuition and synchronicities. It does not detract from our linear brain functions involved in reasoning and previous knowledge, nor does it negate other creative techniques, but sets the stage for those activities.

Problem solving. I ask intently and continuously to know the core question regarding any situation, trusting that the answer will appear whether definitively or intuitively; and using that core question as the contextual basis for all investigation to either a next step or a final solution.

This sets the contextual stage for the next step. It may even solve the problem. You may then engage with others using rationale analysis, brainstorming, and other techniques.

For example let us say you are a manager in a company and you have a chronic conflict between two employees to resolve. Your first inclination might be to think, “How can I help patch up a difference between these two people?” If however you ask yourself to know the core question, upon reflection it might be, “What is the best outcome for all concerned?” With this question as the basis then, a broader stage is set: it not only involves the two employees but the welfare of the company as well.

Maybe instead of trying to patch things up it becomes clear in the ensuing process that the best outcome is for one of the people to leave. The loss of that person might cause a certain immediate burden, but his or her replacement could turn out to be a huge improvement and the person leaving may have actually wanted a change but lacked the initiative.

Frequently a problem involves how to create something new which is going to involve brainstorming with others. In this case when you do meet your unconscious mind has already been long at work. Then you are prepared for either a solution or the next step.

2. Do you believe that angels really help people with their everyday problems? If so, why would they do this?

Yes I do. I referred to the “helpers” in my book as “invisible partners” and angels could certainly be part of that partnership. I feel that we are on the verge of a huge leap forward in which we and our invisible partners will do joint tasks. They have the larger picture and we have the arms and legs in this reality. In this arrangement there is a two way communication. We have desires with intent that turn into orders. Secondly we have intuition hits which prompt us to move in certain directions. The latter could be original communication from our invisible partners or responses to our original questions/desires with intent.

I feel that the reason angels help is that we can think of them as helping the human species evolve consciously, and that is done through a process of our having experiences and assessing the value of those experiences. Perhaps it is the angel that sends just the right person to trigger a decision in you or a piece of information.

3. How does a person begin to connect with their angels?

I feel the most common way we experience this is through our intuition and synchronicities, both positive and negative. The challenge is to recognize the synchronicity and harvest the message. Sometimes it may simply be an event or person showing up from “out of the blue.”

4. How does one know that the “answer” they are receiving is really coming from their angels?

This is the great challenge. Often we want something to happen so strongly that we are not sure whether it is intuition or just wishing getting in the way when we think we are receiving intuitive communication. One way to assess this is to use kinesiology: you might muscle test as to whether something is good or true for you. Sometimes there might simply be an event or person delivered to you at precisely the right moment.

4. Have you had any angelic encounters of your own? If so, please share.

When I was an ensign in the navy I was stationed at a naval air station as the manager of the bachelor officers’ quarters. A commander used to take me flying in the flying clubs acrobatic T-28. One day he said to me, “Aren’t you about due for a new assignment? You’re having so much fun, why don’t you apply to flight school?” So I did. But I had a gnawing feeling it was not the right thing for me. As a youngster I had been tested. Mechanical skills were at the dead bottom of my aptitudes, and you need to be mechanical to be a successful pilot. Two weeks later I received a set of orders to Navy flight school in Pensacola. I was sickened. Then a week later, another set of orders arrived sending me to Hawaii. I tore up the orders to flight school. I always felt there had been a strong helping hand that had intervened.

Comments from author Sandy Sims:

Why I wrote – How Frank Lloyd Wright Got Into My Head, Under My Skin And Changed The Way I Think About Thinking, A Creative Thinking Blue Print For the 21st Century

Originally I knew this would be a story of interest to people who follow architecture. After reading Wright’s autobiography I had been struck by the idea that not only was he famous but his drawings at the time were selling at auction for the same price as those of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.  He had designed over 1,000 designs but some 500 remained unbuilt.  In an “aha” flash I imagined that a collection of Wright’s unrealized designs built in Hawaii would be stunning.

The pursuit of this idea was so compelling, that I innocently and naively began the journey, and what a journey it was. I was cordially invited into many of Wright’s private homes, to meet their owners, and to hear their stories.  I became friends with those in the Taliesin Fellowship, some of whom were the earliest apprentices to Frank Lloyd Wright. It was a rich journey. While in the beginning I was attracted to the financial rewards that might have accrued, I later became fascinated by the idea of what it would be like to live inside of the space created by both a mystic and a genius. I found out.

Thoughts and prayers to Japan and to all. We are one love.

Daily Channeled Message® by Dyan Garris

Sometimes we’re so wrapped up in our personal dramas that we not only do not see the bigger picture, but we remain somewhat detached from it. With this emotional detachment, if whatever it is is not happening to us, then it can be difficult to relate to or feel in our own lives. However, as you know, everything is connected and everything works together, therefore everyone’s everything affects us more than we realize. Today’s energy asks that we examine a bigger picture, a bigger structure, and realize how our personal dramas are connected with everyone and everything. It’s a day for epiphanies on many levels. If you understood that what you do on a personal level – all of it – affects everyone and everything, what would you change?

Here then, is part of the bigger picture if you care to see it:

The Earth is part of a solar system – a body, not unlike your own physical body. It’s a body part. And just like your arm is connected to your body, so is the Earth connected to and is part of the body of our solar system. Now, as part of our own physical bodies, we also have chakras. So does our planet Earth. When these energy centers become blocked with dark, stagnant, or pent up energy, our systems become clogged, and eventually that energy has to go somewhere. It cannot stay trapped forever, as the nature of energy is to flow. Hence, “natural” disasters, such as earthquakes.

Any time you get angry, have your personal world shaken up, and so forth, you yourself are having an “earthquake,” a “volcanic eruption,” or “melt-down.” Where does THAT energy go? It goes up and out from you and gets absorbed by the “ethers,” the Earth. And when the Earth has taken in and taken on X amount of that energy – had all it can possibly take – IT will suddenly blow, because remember, the energy has to go somewhere.

Energetically, as collective consciousness, as ONE LOVE, we are not autonomous. What will you do with your energy today?

Valentine’s Day – What is the Meaning? by Sophia Elise

What Is the Meaning of Valentine’s Day? by Sophia Elise who is a 5 star relationship expert.  You can get a private reading with Sophia on Voice of the Angels.com phone psychic network.

When I was in the third grade I attended my first Valentine’s Day event. It was the first year that I was enrolled in public school in the United States, after moving from England, and I remember having to take a shoebox to school. I soon learned we were decorate these shoe boxes with paint, construction paper and pink and red heart shaped doilies, after cutting a little slot in the top for our ‘valentines’. We were instructed to make sure we had a card for everyone in the class, mine had Casper on them, I am sure of it, and on the anticipated day, we would all play postman as we walked around the class putting the cards into the decorated boxes. Then we would sit and open them, smiling at all of our ‘truly yours’ and ‘be mines’ while indulging in lard and sugar frosted cupcakes brought by the ‘class Mom.’

To the masses, Valentine’s Day evokes thoughts of chocolate, flowers, romance, cards, and cherubic angels shooting us with arrows. I also understand there are special diamonds, jewelry, lingerie and secret indulgences you can buy your ‘valentine’….but when did all the madness, attributed to this day, begin? I don’t know about the rest of you, but I started seeing Valentine’s Day displays in the stores the day after they cleaned out most of the Christmas crap, thinking to myself “Hey don’t throw that Christmas stuff out, we could use it for Valentine’s Day, after all it is red and white..!” Come to think of it… St. Valentine does look an awful lot like St. Nicholas, but I digress.


Sadly today’s society views Valentine’s Day as more of an obligation ~ forced upon the masses as a whole, telling us we better recognize our ‘sweetheart’ with flowers and fluff or they will resent us for the rest of the year. I just saw something on MSN today ’10 Days Left to make sure you are not in the Dog House’…or something to that effect. I mean, seriously folks, come one, when did it turn to this? I am not quite sure how it became such an obligation… or expectation …. but personally I blame it on Hallmark.

Valentine’s Day originated from pagan customs of Ancient Rome in 300-400 B.C, where on February 14th and 15th the Romans celebrated Lupercalia. During this festival they practiced the ritual of the sacred sexual union, the Heiros Gamos, on February 14th, to honor Juno Fructifier, Queen of the Roman gods and goddesses as well as goddess of marriage.

As part of this celebration, maiden’s names in were placed in boxes, I am sure without the pink and red doilies. These “love notes” were called “billets.” A young man would draw a name and the maiden was his sex partner for the coming year commencing in March until the next February celebration. The matches were primarily for the sexual union of the Hieros Gamos but it was not unusual for the pairings to end in marriage. The couples who were matched together would be considered partners for the coming year, commencing in March, and would last until the next February celebration. On February 15th, the Ides of February, the Romans celebrated Luperaclia, honoring Lupercal, the wolf god. Additionally they honored Faunus, god of fertility as well as Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome who were as legend states, raised by a she-wolf. The Festival of Lupercalia involved priests and Vestal Virgins (don’t care much for the priests but vestal virgins are cool). The Luperci priests would go to a grotto dedicated to Lupercal, the wolf god, located at the foot of Palatine Hill.

The men would sacrifice a goat, don its skin, and run, walk and dance around the Palatine Hill to purify it while whipping young maidens with a goat skinned thong called a “februa” ~ an act which was supposed to ensure fertility. The act of such lashings or whippings was known as februatio…both this word and the word februa come from the Latin meaning “to purify.” The Romans believed that the middle or the ‘ides’ of the month was when that month’s life force was at its peak which gave them an excuse to party and perform the sacred rite of sexual union with the added effect of purifying the women from curses, bad luck and infertility by flagellating them with the februa. Hmmmmmmmm, interesting! It is all starting to make sense now.

Regardless of its origins, today Valentine’s Day is a highly over-commercialized western celebration. The Greeting Card Association estimates that some billion valentines are sent per year. If you are single on this day, remember it only lasts for 24-hours, and most of the people receiving Valentine’s tokens, gifts or flowers from their ‘loved ones’ are doing so out of obligation, threats, and the over-commercialization of a day that Hallmark rakes in the $$$- cha-ching!!! I am sure that by this time next year we will all be decorating our V-Day Trees ~ with hearts, flowers and cupids ~ while sitting on St. Valentine’s lap telling him what we want (or expect), fighting for the last box of chocolates or bunch of roses in the grocery store – knocking someone down in an effort to grab them out of their hands – all the while thinking LOVING thoughts.

Personally, I  like more fun!

Predicting Timing in Psychic Readings

PREDICTING TIMING IN PSYCHIC READINGS by Sophia Elise

So many times I get calls from clients whose only question is WHEN. When will he call? When will we be married? When will he get a divorce? When will we get back together? When will he tell me he loves me? When will he leave his girlfriend/boyfriend? If you are simply asking when you can expect communication, the answer for the most part is cut and dry and you will receive and answer similar to next Tuesday or within the next three weeks. If you are asking questions of a more serious nature, however, the REAL answer is WHEN he (or she) has learned their life lesson, which is ultimately based on some experience or revelation that individual must have before they are able to continue their journey with you. There are also times when things must happen according to divine timing, which is pretty much set by God, the Goddess, your angels and spirit guides as well as the angels and spirit guides of those you are asking about. If things seem to be taking a while, it is because one or both of you are in the middle of a karmic life lesson that must be completed before anything can progress in your relationship.

Timing is a very delicate prediction in the psychic realm. We see and hear numbers, we can use the tarot, or use astrology to predict timing of future events. For instance, many times I will tell a client that I see their relationship really starting to feel settled when the Sun is in Virgo (or Libra, Pisces – whatever time frame comes up during the reading). We are only able to predict the timing of future events if it comes up clearly during the psychic or tarot reading. When we are given a number, we have to interpret how it fits into to the prediction and reading we are giving. Timing is not written in stone, actually no prediction is written in stone, because time is fluid…like water. There is no structure to it in the psychic or spirit realm, which is where we get our information during the psychic reading. Timing can and will change based on the decisions you make and actions you take during the course of our daily lives. The decisions and actions of those you are asking about can also influence the timing predictions.

Sometimes callers are so focused on the timing and time prediction they miss some other key aspects of their reading. During your psychic reading it is important to turn your focus to the final outcome as opposed to the timing of specific events. I have seen, time and again, callers hold onto a timing prediction so desperately they inadvertently create blockages to the prediction actually happening. When you want something so badly, you hold onto it too tightly and can actually push it further into the future, or in some cases strangle it off completely. I don’t want this to happen, and neither do you.

Albert Einstein concluded that time is relative and that the past, present, and future exist simultaneously. In other words, time is not linear, but we have created linear time (hours, days, weeks, months) so that it makes sense to our linear ways of thinking. I don’t want to argue with Einstein.

Linda West – 8 Keys: A Special Delivery Message From The Angels

Linda West is a very gifted psychic medium and author of the book “8 Keys – A Special Delivery Message From The Angels,” which is published by my publishing house Journeymakers, Inc. Publishing. In her engaging book, 8 Keys, she weaves her own stories in with the information that the angels have asked her to bring forth.  You get a real sense of who she is and you get a real sense of connection, not only to her, but to yourself AND the angels.  When I first read her manuscript I knew there was something special and different here. That’s because Linda West is genuine and that “realness” shines through in everything she does.  In addition to being an author and psychic medium, Linda has a Masters Degree in Metaphysics, is a motivational speaker, a certified Angel Healer, and a Quantum Biofeedback Technician. You can get a psychic reading by phone with Linda on Voice of the Angels.com phone psychic network.

Today, as a stop on Linda’s virtual tour, I encourage you to leave a comment and ask questions, as Linda will be visiting here periodically throughout the day.  One lucky person will win a copy of Linda’s book.

Interview with Linda West:

1. Linda, you’re a psychic medium and an angel communicator. How did you get your start? Have you always talked to angels?
I suppose I have, but it was hidden for so many years beneath the depression and illness I carried when I was younger. Once I started on a natural healing path, my psychic ability opened up. my physical body once cleared of toxins and emotional survival mechanisms developed in my dysfunctional childhood, opened the connection to the other side. as I look back now the path, even though so difficult, it was truly blessed and guided by the loving hands of the Angels.


2. How did “8 Keys – A Special Delivery Message from the Angels” come about?

At the time I was an occasional speaker at the local Unity Church. The Angels woke me in the night and said they wanted to do a series for the coming summer (during that period the Angels were always connecting with me between 1-3 AM. Yes, it was annoying!). I told them I needed to sleep and to remind me in the morning. So the next day, in the morning, doing dishes, they said again they wanted a series of talks for the summer. I was petulant. I didn’t like to write and knew I would have to write all this down. First I heard a name, “8 Keys,” To which I asked, “What keys?” Then it began. I started writing and the “keys” came to life in about twenty minutes. Simple and easy of course!!!

3. What are these “keys?”
The Keys are simple and easy words that have to energetic power to change an individual’s life. Put together they create a journey of enlightenment!!!! They are the power for each of us to create the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ on Earth.

4. What is so important or timely about these “keys?”
The message is simple and easy. We need this now on the planet, when everything these days seems to be so complicated. The ‘Keys’ allow us to look at ourselves through different eyes, the eyes of the Angels!! Once we see ourselves through the eyes of Love, as the Angels see us, all things become possible. So whether a person has been on their spiritual path for awhile or just beginning their journey the ‘Keys’ can create a miracle in their lives.

5. What is the most important thing the angels want people to know right now?
The Angels want us to know that its never too late to turn things around and you do this by turning yourself around. Our lives are made complicated by what we have been taught by society, i.e., we don’t deserve, love, money…we are born not deserving…that we aren’t psychic and can’t get direct communication from the Source…that life was meant to be complicated and that we have to prove ourselves to be worthy. Not so!!! We are loved unconditionally and the Angels prove that over and over in the ’8 Keys.’

6. Do you have a special message for those that are having a very rough time?
I think most people are having a rough time right now, so its time to get back to the basics with something simple and easy like the ’8 Keys.’ Just the first three Keys set you on the path to changing your life: 1st Key: Believe, there is a power greater than you, that resides with in you! 2nd Key: Trust, this power is loving and can take care of whatever negatives you may have in your life. 3rd Key: Detach, turn your situation over to God/dess, and let the Angels take care of the details!!! This is just the beginning of the journey, each Key will take you deeper into Self and to the place of living a life of love, joy, peace, abundance and health.

7. Can we peek inside the book?
Certainly! Peek here.

8. Where can people buy your book?

8 Keys – A Special Delivery Message From The Angels is available on Amazon.com, on Kindle, on my website www.lindawest-medium.com.

Solar Eclipse January 4th, 2011

The following is a 2011 astrological update from one of our psychic astrologers on Voice of the Angels.com phone psychic network. You can get a private reading with Leslie by clicking here.

The New Moon/solar eclipse falls at 13 degrees of Capricorn on January 4 at 4:03 AM, EST.  Capricorn is the natural ruler of the 10th house of business and priorities.  The eclipse squares Saturn, the taskmaster, bringing a dose of reality, responsibility and obligations to light. Venus squares Neptune at 26 degrees of Scorpio-Aquarius, and this transit is indicative of fraud, mistruths and lies relating to money and sex.  It points toward issues between the sexes and news relating to same sex couplings as well.

Capricorn rules the earth as well as business, and issues will come to light that relate to the earth itself. We must listen to the planet speak, as it is the sustenance of all life in our world. 2010’s catastrophic earthquake in Haiti preceded the January 15 eclipse in Capricorn by 3 days.  With the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction at 27 degrees of Pisces, expect more precipitation than normal and possibilities in some areas of flooding and issues surrounding water/precipitation. The eclipse is prominent in the US natal chart. It falls in the second house of income/earned income, opposing the Sun, as well as the two money planets Venus and Jupiter. While it is 14 degrees off the US Pluto in Capricorn, it will conjunct the planet of transformation in the morning hours creating intensity and a collective desire for financial transformation in the world. Major events concerning money may be revealed at this time or in the very near future.

The length of the eclipse is 4 hrs and 20 minutes, thus according to eclipse expert Celeste Teal, this eclipse will exert influence and impact us for a total of 4.20 years. Teal calls this eclipse, The Balance of Power, and writes, “Focus on business and national affairs, Eclipse in a critical degree: denoting potential for a central event having wide range impact. Eclipse in degree of fixed star Manubrium: flaring heat. A turbulent spirit against those in high places.  For the USA, the eclipse falls over the Sun: US administration and government critically linked to larger world affairs.  There is potentially powerful opposition to overcome.

For US, eclipse in house of earning power and expenditures; obstacles, legislative delays.  Trade and labor restricted.  Meditation, yoga and or self indulgences to cope with discontent.  Eclipse of emphasis for Japan, Russia, the UN, Cuba, NYC, Phoenix and the NYSE.” Neptune moves to 27 degrees on January 10, conjuncting the moon in the US Natal chart. Neptune is the planet of illusion, delusion, confusion and lack of clarity.  Americans are at risk of being lied to, and as a collective are asleep at the wheel in terms of understanding the big financial picture.

As Neptune moves through the final degrees of the sign of Universal understanding problems will become more obvious. This transit also represents a weak housing market and a population that is growing weary of what is now the worst recession in 80 years.

January 8, the planet of love (Venus) enters Sagittarius lifting spirits and creating a more freewheeling and exuberant kind of energy for those in love or looking for love.  Naturally, this works best for the fire signs. January 10, Mercury sextiles Sagittarius bringing sensitivity and creativity to the fore.  Situations may be exaggerated.

January 11, Mercury squares Uranus, creating accident prone energy.  This is the time to think before you speak and expect sudden unexpected news.

January 12, Mars sextiles Uranus, creating a somewhat exciting energy and possibility of exciting, new business ideas and opportunities.

The planet of communication enters Capricorn January 13 for the second time in 2 months, creating a focus on serious matters and business over the next 29 days.

January 14, Mars sextiles Jupiter, creating some positive energy and providing a planetary opportunity for some business and monetary success.

January 17 the Sun sextiles Uranus, a positive, exciting transit with eclectic possibilities.

January 18, Mercury conjuncts Pluto. This is the third and final Mercury-Pluto conjunction, creating an obsessive energy, argumentative in nature and aimed at getting to the bottom of situations.  Previously on December 5-6 and 14 this transit dealt with revelations from Wikileaks.  The transit is compulsive, prone to accidents and arguments and will involve the media and revelations.

January 19, we have a full moon at 29 degrees of Cancer. The 29th degree holds special importance and relates to endings and finishing up matters.  Cancer is the most emotional of all signs and rules the home and fourth house relating to the foundation and family.  This full moon trines Jupiter, a positive indication whereby we can show generosity and warmth toward those we love.

January 20, energy will shift as the Sun leaves the sign of business and enters Aquarius. Wherever the Sun travels it spreads it’s light-in this case Aquarius- the natural ruler of the 11th house of friends, hopes and wishes and organizations and friends.

January 22, Jupiter enters Aries, the first sign of the zodiac. Jupiter is the financial planet and the planet of luck, abundance and expansion. Whatever Jupiter touches, it increases. Aries is a fire sign and we experienced Jupiter in this sign June 6-September 8, 2010 when it first entered the sign of the Ram.  Aries is exuberant, moves quickly and is the natural ruler of the first house of self.  In some respects this will give us a jump start and it will represent a vast difference from the laid back energy of Pisces. Science and technology will make advances.  This will be a once every 12 year advantage for Aries, and other fire signs. Jupiter was last in Aries February 14, 1999-June 28, and again October 24, 1999-Febuary 15, 2000.

January 23, Venus sextiles Saturn. This is a positive transit for business, and connecting with things and persons from the past.  It is a positive financial transit on the conservative side.

January 26, Saturn retrogrades at 17 degrees of Libra. Saturn retrogrades every year for approximately 4 months, and at this time the sign it is in is emphasized.  Libra pertains to relationships, relationship issues, government, courts and laws, and these issues will come to the forefront.  Bad marriages and relationships may end altogether. People are often more disciplined in their undertakings, and much depends upon what transits Saturn is making in your natal chart.

On the same day, January 26, Mercury squares Saturn. This transit is accident prone and depressive and we may hear negative news about business or the economy.  It is a tiring transit but can indicate increased focus.   Happy New Year 2011!
