inspiring flow classes:

www.michaellutin.com (fabulous free daily astrological updates)

www.cafeastrology.com

www.astrologyzone.com

www.kundalinisplendor.blogspot.com

www.forecasters.co.nz
The most thorough, positive astrological transit site I've found.
Free daily and weekly updates, but best of all, for $27 USD per year,
you can have a very precise monthly forecast emailed to you.
Great bargain!
