The scent of lilies filled the air as I arrived at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pa. Orchids everywhere! Perched in trees, hanging from ceilings and walls they transported me to another world. Did you know that the vanilla bean comes from an orchid plant? Look on the dannon vanilla yogurt container and you will see it. The orchid plant grows up the wall on a vine but the flower is very small. Have an early spring and go!

The full moon this month falls in the sign leo. Aquarians need to rest up since this is a time for them to conserve their energy especially with the square from saturn. The air signs- gemini & libra will feel energized by this moon. Leos may receive a present unexpectedly and capricorns will see an emphasis on the financial areas of their own or their partner's chart.Enjoy the snow and curl up with a good book!

Today, January 11th is the day of the new moon in Capricorn. Take care of responsibilities first then take time for your wishes. Remember the song 'You cannot win if you do not play'. Think up a good wish for yourself and see the results in 2 weeks or so depending on the wish!

A picture is worth a thousand words. This vegetable salad is topped with a grilled chicken breast. Delicious!

It's a cloudy day in New York with a 50 degree temp in January! It always seems sunny in New York. So many people from all over the world come together in the Times Square area. The stadium seating and little tables and chairs are a welcome site to my tired legs. Quite a change from my suburban home.

This Friday will be the full moon in the sign of Cancer the crab who likes to hide in his shell especially when probed. Check back and remember your new moon wishes and see how you did. The moon trines (good aspect) saturn which adds emotional stability to this moon. There is a square (stressful aspect) of the moon to uranus which will encourage us to be courageous and try something out of our comfort zone or perhaps we will have that lightning flash ...an ah ha ..moment of invention or clarity. Let's see how we do. Let me know...Happy New Year!

Today is the 'new moon' in the sign of Saggitarius.It's a good time for new beginnings and for making a list of wishes. Each day work toward your 'wish list' and see how far you've come along by the full moon. How about wishing for an end to world hunger and inner peace for all...which will manifest as world peace. This peace is the promise of the new age. We are only in the beginning of the 'golden age of man'. It is the ending of the 'kali yuga', the 'black age'. The future is beyond our wildest dreams. Let's dream up a good world while the planet mercury (mind) joins neptune (dreams). Remember the song from 'South Pacific'. Click on the title above.
