Let It In with Guy Lawrence

2026: The End of the Old Normal — And What Comes Next | Debra Silverman

·47 min·4 clips
Debra Silverman reveals that 2026 marks the first time all outer planets change signs in one year, an event with no historical record.
Host Guy Lawrence introduces the episode by framing 2026 as a year of radical change, with astrologer Debra Silverman explaining that all outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and Uranus—are changing signs in the same year for the first time in historical record. Debra notes this event may have last occurred 14,000 years ago, but there is no documented storyline, making the current period uniquely uncertain. She describes how eclipses, like the one occurring from February 17 to March 3 during recording, are times of manifestation and transformation, citing examples such as Einstein discovering E=mc² under an eclipse and Princess Diana's life events aligning with eclipses. Debra analyzes Guy's astrological chart, revealing his sun and Neptune were at the exact same degree at birth, which amplifies his sensitivity and seeker nature, with three planets in Sagittarius. She discusses the exposure of societal shadows, like pedophilia, as part of this astrological shift, urging listeners to move away from pretense. Debra explains her background, including a master's degree in clinical psychology, which she combines with astrology for personality assessment rather than just prediction. She breaks down the four astrological elements—water for sensitivity, air for social and dippy traits, earth for practicality, and fire for freedom and excitement—and how they create internal conflicts, like in Guy's chart where fire and water elements clash. Debra shares that she runs an astrology school with 8,000 alumni, focusing on helping people understand their charts and remove masks. She discusses her books, 'The Missing Element' and 'I Don't Believe in Astrology', which explore personality types and life lessons. Debra speculates that astrology may have originated from extraterrestrial intelligence due to its mathematical complexity and longevity over 4,000 years. She emphasizes the importance of authenticity and intuition in the new world, moving away from academic authority. Debra recounts personal challenges, including being taken advantage of by three men in business, which taught her to work only with women and take ownership of her power. She describes her daily practice of following the four elements through meditation, social connection, practical tasks, and fun. In closing, Debra advises listeners to identify what calms their nervous systems—such as solitude, community, or exercise—to stay centered during turbulent times.
