Spirit guides and doctors will diagnose the trouble and its cause, attention being directed to overcoming the cause, and then removing the symptoms. Please set time aside each day to send healing thoughts for each of those listed below, that they may receive from Spirit that which is for their highest and best needs. Your healing prayers are needed and benefit others in ways we may never know. Ebony and family Danielle S. Dolores M Loralei S Theresa F. and family Mary C. Linda and Larry B. Stephanie B. and family Ron G. Mary C. Camille J. and Chrissy and family Eileen W. Lindy C. Karen L. Fran D. Brad H. Bill B. Alexandria K. Helena R. Amy V. and Lucy V. Fernwood M. Jane R. John C. Eileen T. Valerie M. Frank K. Yolanda S. and Quasin E. Gaza – Ukraine – United States  Prayers for all those who have experienced violence and abuse. Prayers for areas affected by recent natural disasters around the globe. Prayers for all those who are affected by recent and on-going wars. ------------------------------------- Prayer for the Middle East Creator, you are our Provider and Healer. We pray that Your timely help and support reach all who are in need. There is so much sorrow, pain, and conflict across the Middle East. We pray for leaders throughout the region and ask You to turn their minds and hearts toward peace. Online prayer modified by Valerie. 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 quality of time in February is intense, charged and unpredictable. This month registers several major astrological events: Saturn enters Aries, a solar eclipse occurs in Aquarius, and Saturn conjoins Neptune in Aries. We can expect much restlessness, chaotic developments and sudden turns. Grand designs and personal visions must be tested for their day-to-day viability. During the first third of the month Pluto, Mars, the Sun, Venus and Mercury form a powerful stellium in Aquarius. Expect many new ideas and impulses that affect community life and our concepts of freedom. Prepare for surprising developments and unexpected moves. On 4 February Uranus in Taurus ends its retrograde phase. Stalled developments pick up speed again, sometimes in unexpected ways. Mercury squares Uranus on 5 February. Be ready for surprising information that invites speculation. Some people enjoy welcome flashes of inspiration, others may feel mentally overloaded. However, this nervous tension is only brief, because Mercury enters Pisces on 6 February. The tingling clarity then turns into a more intuitive, dreamy mood. Venus reaches the square to Uranus on 8 February, awakening curiosity and a great joy in new impulses. This may lead to problems in relationships that have become too rigid. Clarify which freedoms you need. It is a good time to give a stale connection a constructive boost. On 10 February Venus enters Pisces. This phase is ideal for deep reconciliation and offers chances for romantic experiences and gentle contact. https://www.astro.com -------------------------------------- In peace and harmony, Valerie Miller SCOL Secretary Comments are closed.
