Hi all
Scroll below for information about the next all-day workshop and webinar, which as always, will be done simultaneously. It will be in two parts since the vargas is a huge topic and I will also present material on twins, which I have been collecting for several years, and have already lectured on it at the Arsha Vidya Ashram a few years ago. Because so many people are having multiples this will be very important.
Also I will be presenting a Sanskrit for Astrologers workshop this summer. Knowing the Sanskrit meanings of all the planets, signs, houses, and other important concepts, will enhance the meaning and techniques. For instance, there are hundreds of names for the Moon and the Sun. Every Sanskrit word will describe the different conditions and different points of view. We will learn the diacritics but you will not have to learn the devanagari script...don't worry. I am giving a heads up since the date will be decided. If you are interested though please let me know since I have had many requests. It will be part of my advanced Master Class series.
Also you can still purchase the 3-hour Sensitive Degrees Webinar since I talk about phenomena for the entire 2018. Scroll below. You can also purchase the last Jyotisa workshops on Nakshatras, and on Planets in Signs and Houses and Atmakaraka. Also scroll down below.
I will also be continuing advanced classes for those of you who took the Ashtakavarga workshop last year, and those who are at an advanced level. Stay tuned as I will have the spring schedule in the coming week.
Another reminder that
I did a wonderful interview with Nadia Smirnova-Mierau (Long Island NCGR Chapter president and NCGR Board member) about my upcoming lectures and pre-conference eclipse workshop at UAC 2018. Please go to see it at Ronnie's interview
Remember to sign up for my workshop as well if you are interested in everything about eclipses including the three eclipses of 2018.
UAC 2018
And I will be presenting a lecture for the Long Island NCGR Chapter in Baldwin NY about the upcoming Mars and Venus retrograde Cycles. More about that but please reserve Friday March 16, and for info go to
Long Island NCGR

Intermediate Jyotisa
Register for Vargas and Twins Workshop
Sat. April 14 and Sat. June 9, 2018.
10:00- 5:00 pm
NYC Upper West Side or Webinar or Get Recordings and Handout after
The morning will be devoted to reviewing interpretation and forecasting tools with sample charts.
In the afternoon we will begin with the Vargas.
One of the most important functions of certain varga charts is whether or not the planet is strengthened or weakened, and this is one of the factors that comprise the calculation of shad bala, or the six strengths of the planet. If the birth planet is in a kendra or trikona bhava of one of these charts, then it adds points to their strength in sat bala. If they are in other houses, they will not contribute to the planet's strength. In these next two workshop/webinars, we will focus on these, and try to look at these varga charts more traditionally ie. what Varahamihira says in Brihajjataka, as well as add other variations on how to use them.
Some astrologers use six varga charts to calculate planetary strength, and some astrologers use seven. They are known as the sat (six) varga or sapta (seven) varga charts. These are rāśi (birth chart), hora (wealth), drekkana (siblings), which is the equivalent of the Western decanate chart, navā
ṃ
ś
a (marriage and dharma), dvadasa
ṃ
ś
a (parents), and trimsamsa (fortune and misfortune). Adding saptamsa (children) they become the sapta vargas.
This workshop will explore the hora, drekkana, dvadasamsa, trimsamsa and saptamsa with examples.
We will especially look at the importance of the sarpa drekkanas, the 22nd drekkana and the 64th navamsa in terms of health.
Part Two. Dasa Vargas, the Balance of Vargas.
Sat. June 9.
Adding dasamsa (career), shodasamsa (vehicles), and shastyamsa (strengths and weaknesses), they become the dasa (10) vargas. We will look at these (minus Navamsa which we already looked at). We will also look at other varga charts from classical texts which make up the shodasavargas (16 vargas), which include vimsamsa (spirituality), as well as the panchamsa (power), shastamsa (health), and ashtamsa (life and death), which are not one of the classical 16.
Then we will look at my preliminary research on twins and how this relates to the vargas in ways you may not consider. People are under the wrong impression that twins only show up in the shastiamsa chart (D-60) which is NOT true at all. It can show up in any of the other divisionals and we will look at examples of this). This is important for practicing astrologers since in the era of in vitro fertilization, many multiples are being born.
If you cannot attend, as usual you will get the audio/visual presentation, audio recording, and handouts and the opportunity to also email me questions in the same way that attendees will get these. Once you sign up for the two parts, I will send you the Navamsa workshop from last year (if you did not attend), since it will be important to have that information.
This workshop will be held in two parts in order to break it up and review the first part without moving on to the next.
Early bird. Pay by March 15 for both workshops. To attend you need to know the basic tools of Jyotisa. Email me if you are not sure if you are at the right level.

2018 Sensitive Degrees: Stations, Eclipses, Ingresses, and Aspects.
Date: Sunday January 7, 2018. Time: 12 - 3:00 pm.
You receive audio-visual MP4, audio MP3 recordings, & handouts (40-plus page handouts) within 72 hours of ordering.
This annual workshop is back for a look at the coming year which will be filled with so many planetary signatures that we should expect the year ahead to continue to be a bumpy ride. This year's webinar 2018 Sensitive Degrees: Stations, Eclipses, Ingresses, and Aspects will be packed with information about 2018. As usual, this Webinar will cover many of the degree areas of the chart that will affect you and the world including eclipses, retrograde and direct stations and cycles, ingress dates, and aspects. We will go through all of these providing you with charts and tables that you can use the entire year.
Because there are five eclipses, and retrogrades of Venus and Mars, I will NOT recap all the technical explanation for eclipses and retrogrades as I have in the past, but will go into the timing of these phenomena, the degrees to watch for, how they affect your chart, and some forecasts for the year. The summer will be an especially crazy ride with eclipses, Mars retrograde, and Mars-Ketu (South Node) conjunction. Some planetary signatures are as follows:
Eclipses. January 31, February 15, July 13, July 27, August 11. This
year there will be five eclipses, with the eclipses of January 31 and February 15 as mirror or twin eclipses of August 7 and 21, 2017. All the eclipses are part of the 18 year Saros cycle, and, except for the one on July 13, part of the 19 year Metonic cycle.
Planetary Stations.
In addition to annual retrograde cycles of Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, this year there will be the important Mars retrograde June 26-August 27 and Venus retrograde from October 5-November 16. Mars retrograde will straddle Capricorn and Aquarius tropically and will only be in Capricorn sidereally. Venus retrograde will straddle Libra and Scorpio and will only be in Libra sidereally.
Aspects. Some of the more important aspects that repeat themselves are as follows.
Mars-Ketu (South Node) conjunction. This conjunction occurs three times because Mars is retrograde: June 8, July 20, and Sep 26 2018. Even though Mars conjoins Ketu every 22 months, this is the third time since 1900 that Mars retrograde has conjoined the South Node. Other dates were: December 11, 1932, March 9, 1933, May 9, 1933 and Jan. 27, 1950, March 7, 1950, June 19, 1950. This is significant since in Indian astrology Ketu, or South Node, takes on the qualities of Mars, so it is like having a double Mars. Mars-South Node conjunction occurred during September 11, 2001.
Other important aspects this year include: Mars square Uranus three times, Jupiter trine Neptune twice, Venus opposition Uranus three times.
Tropical Ingresses. This year Uranus is highlighted since it will straddle Aries and Taurus before it definitively enters Taurus in 2019. Jupiter enters Sagittarius on November 8.
Sidereal Ingresses. Jupiter enters Scorpio on October 10.
And so much more.
Order now. $50. You will receive the recordings and handouts within 72 hours of ordering.
