Welcome to the January issue of Transit.

Again, we have our regular slots - amongst them Jenni Harte's World News, David Fisher's Data Department and Nick Campion's Media Watch. The discussion on Phyllis Playter's chart continues with Pauline Smith's comments on her death transits, and death and astrology in general. The second of David Fisher's Musings appears in this issue - please feel free to send in your comments, and your own musings!

Alice Ekrek reviews the AA Research Conference, which took place in November. Transit will have a regular research section so please let us know of any work you're doing or planning in this area or if you're seeking data for research. We also have news from the Faculty of Astrological Studies and welcome news from any astrological group or school, however large or small and wherever you are.

We've again inserted email links to the authors of articles. If you want to contact them direct to offer comments please do so. Although you obviously can direct any queries and comments to me if you prefer. If there isn't a direct link please forward any comments you may have to me and I'll ensure that they're passed on.
