If you cannot attend on the above date, you will like everyone else, receive handouts with many charts and tables for the year ahead, an audio recording, and an audio-visual recording. This year should be a very wild ride due to it starting out with a bang. It will be up and down with many surprises ending with the U.S. Presidential election. But there are many other countries in the world as well.

Some (but not all) planetary signatures we will cover are as follows:

  • Brief recap of 2023 as it leads into 2024.
  • Ingresses.When each planet changes sign. This year in addition to the usual Sun through Mars ingresses there are: Jupiter entering sidereal Taurus/tropical Gemini; Neptune entering sidereal Pisces; Pluto entering tropical Aquarius, moves back into Capricorn for brief time in September and then back into Aquarius in November for a long stay.
  • Lunations. (New and Full Moons)
  • Four eclipses: March 25 (lunar) April 8 (solar). This one will be visible throughout the U.S. from the Southwest up through the Northeast into Eastern Canada. September 18. (lunar). October 2. (solar).
  • Astro*Carto*Graphy Maps of Eclipses and countries
  • Planetary Stations and Annual retrograde cycles of Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. This year Mars stations retrograde from December 6, 2024 through February 23, 2025.
  • Notable aspects. Mars-Saturn, Mars-Pluto, Mars-North Node, Jupiter-Uranus and more.
  • Selected charts of various countries and leaders.

RECORDINGS OF PAST WEBINARS AND CLASSES

Fundamentals of Indian Astrology (Jyotisa). Virtual Classes. 

Presented between March 15, 2023-July 20, 2023. Ten two-hour sessions and additional recordings. Fee: $275.                       

This series of classes is NOT a crash course even though when you complete it you will have rudimentary tools with which to start analyzing the chart. We will cover the basic level of Jyotisa, or Vedic Astrology. This incorporates basic tools for beginning chart interpretation and forecasting including history, some Sanskrit meanings and pronunciation of concepts, and supplemental reading material and videos, and discussion group in between classes. Everyone will receive recordings and power point presentation the next day, whether you attend live or not. If you sign up for the entire series you will thoroughly learn Jyotisa and even some Sanskrit.

After taking Level One and Level Two you will be prepared to take the test for Certification Level I of ACVA (American College of Vedic Astrology), if you choose. There will be opportunities to read supplemental material, do assignments, and review what we learned, but that is up to you. A book list will be provided once you register. The class will be virtual, and you will receive an audio-visual presentation, audio MP3, and extensive handouts.

This class is appropriate for those who are starting at the beginning, or for those who have studied with me, or have learned in the past, and want to refresh your knowledge. We will start with the basics of the chart, so that you have all the tools you need to begin to tackle chart interpretation. But do not expect to finish the course and be able to read a chart. You will be able to learn techniques that will help identify themes in the chart. We hope to cover everything as laid out.
  • History and Development of Jyotisa
  • Concept of Karma and how it applies to Jyotisa
  • Overview of Days of Week, Nakshatras (Moon Mansions), and Tithis (Lunar Days)

PURCHASE RECORDING AND PRESENTATION for October 2023 Eclipses Webinar. Presented on Sunday. October 8, 2023. 11:00-1:00 PM. EDT

Fee $50. 
Everyone receives the recordings on Monday October 9th whether you attend in person or not. This will be conducted according to both Tropical and Sidereal (Vedic) zodiacs.
If you have never done a webinar with me, you will receive a short recording about eclipse theory prior to the webinar.
Annular Solar (New Moon) Eclipse on October 14. Partial Lunar (Full Moon) Eclipse on October 28.
Eclipses have always been the best predictors of events that affect you and the world at large. Focusing on current eclipses, we will see how they activate your natal chart and impact the world. Eclipses are potent for several months before and after they occur depending on the degrees they cross. Lecture time will include Q and A. Some topics are as follows:
  • The astronomy of these two eclipses. Where and when they are visible. The eclipse on the 14th will be visible throughout the U.S. as a prelude to the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, which is also visible throughout the U.S.
  • Charts of the two eclipses. Difference between Solar and Lunar. Difference between North Node Eclipse (28th) and South Node Eclipse (14th)
  • When they will or have been activated (Planets and Nodes hitting the eclipse degree)
  • Where in the world the Solar Eclipse Path travels. The Astro*Carto*Graphy of  each eclipse ie. where in the world they are angular.
  • Importance of Pluto Direct Station on October 11th and Saturn Direct Station on November 4th.
  • What the Eclipse mean for each sign
  • Explanation in Tropical and Sidereal (Indian) Astrology
  • 18 year Saros cycle of these eclipses in 2005, 1987, 1969, 1951, 1933, 1915.
  • 19 year Metonic cycle of these eclipses and lunations in 2004, 1985, 1966, 1947, 1928, 1909.

Astro*Carto*Graphy Secrets Revealed.
Presented October 14, 2023. 9:00 AM–12:30 PM EDT
.
German Vedic Astrology Academy. With simultaneous German translations. 
Using the late Jim Lewis’ concept of seeing where in the world natal planets are angular (we will review the concept of angularity), Ronnie will draw on years of working with Astro*Carto*Graphy maps and with Jim himself to show how to pinpoint locations that do and do not resonate with you. This could include places you want to live, friends and partners who come from a particular place, and good locations to start a business. In addition to seeing how each planet affects you when it is prominent, we will also ruminate on what “place” and “location” mean in our lives, and how our ability to connect globally has changed their meaning. Many case studies will give information and, at times, surprising results.
