To request that a name or situation be placed on this healing list, please send a note to: [email protected] --------------------------------------  -------------------------------------- From the Astrodienst monthly newsletter: The month of January speaks of consolidation and new beginnings. After a somewhat foggy and sensitive start to the year, strong creative impulses promise fruitful results. The New Moon in Capricorn on 18 January invites you to keep the new and the tried-and-tested in balance. Neptune's ingress into Aries on 26 January* opens a longer chapter in which visions need to become tangible. This month, determination, transparent motives and a willingness to release old patterns create the best conditions for the new to become sustainable. *The first major astrological event of the year takes place on 26 January: Neptune moves ultimately into Aries, a sign it will only leave again in 2038. This shift brings a change in the quality of time, which will be felt over the coming years. Our ideals are changing and no longer want merely to be dreamed; they want to be tested and lived. Pioneering spirit, courage and the willingness to stand up for meaning gain importance. This can be inspiring, yet it also demands responsibility in handling visions and convictions. In the long run we can expect a strong impulse to rediscover our own strength. https://www.astro.com -------------------------------------- In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary  Wild cabbage braving it outside, still looking beautiful.

It’s time to make some solid plans and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs. One of Capricorn’s “lessons” is acceptance of the concept that reasonable boundaries and rules actually do offer us freedom–freedom from worry and chaos, for example. Setting goals for ourselves allows us to focus on what really matters.

Sunday January 18 New Moon in Capricorn With this potent Capricorn energy, we have the chance to create some serious order in our lives. It’s time to make some solid plans and to set the stage for reaping the rewards from our new beginnings, as little or big as they may be, in approximately two weeks’ time after the Full Moon occurs. One of Capricorn’s “lessons” is acceptance of the concept that reasonable boundaries and rules actually do offer us freedom–freedom from worry and chaos, for example. Setting goals for ourselves allows us to focus on what really matters. This New Moon is aligned with Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto. In other words, all of the inner planets are aligned, although Venus is the only inner planet not in Capricorn (Venus is in early Aquarius). This lunation is sextile Saturn and Neptune, trine Uranus, and it’s also opposite Jupiter. We’re ready to make something special of our profession, reputation, long-term goals, and responsibilities. It’s a powerful time for practical solutions and innovation. Teaming up to achieve a work or material goal can be successful and attractive now. Meeting new people through these endeavors can also figure strongly. It’s as much of a practical time as it is a magical period. We’re both inspired and ready to put in the work to make things happen. This phase of the Moon occurs at 28 degrees and 44 minutes of Capricorn, affecting people born with personal planets and points at approximately 25 to 30 degrees of the Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn) and 0 to 3 degrees of the Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) most significantly. https://cafeastrology.com/events/new-moon-on-january-18th-2026/ -------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary  Por un año de conciencia, de caminos que os lleven a cumplir vuestros sueños y que siempre os rodee gente llena de luz y amor.
