Hi all

Time again for the annual 

2019 Sensitive Degrees: Stations, Eclipses, Ingresses, and Aspects

Date: Saturday January 5, 2019. 
Time: 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm.
Location: New York City/Simultaneous Webinar

Fee: Early bird Webinar through Dec. 17. $45/
Dec. 18 and after: $55

Early Bird in New York City through Dec. 17. $50/Dec. 18 and after: $60

Yes it is on the day of the solar eclipse, but it was the first weekend we could do it BEFORE the eclipses, and it is still a great way to learn about the year to come.
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 as it was last year, but with some differences as noted in the description below. This year the workshop will be simultaneously a webinar and in New York City (if there are enough participants who want to do it live). And as usual everyone as well as those who cannot make it live will get complete handouts with 2019 charts and tables, showing degrees and dates to watch in the upcoming year along with audio mp3, and audio-visual mp4. As usual, these are from the point of view of both  tropical and Indian (sidereal) astrology. (If you pay to do it in NYC and we wind up only doing as a webinar, you can attend as webinar, receive the recordings and handouts, or be refunded.)
Also for the first time, I will be providing a separate recording and handout explaining the technical and theoretical basis for things like eclipses and retrogrades, since many of you have already heard this. Instead we will dive straight into the lunations, eclipses, retrogrades, aspects, and ingresses. Some (but not all) planetary signatures we will cover are as follows:
  • Lunations (New and Full Moons)

  •  
  • Eclipses.  January 5 (6), January 21, July 2, July 16, December 26 (and the one on January 10, 2020).  All the eclipses are part of the 18 year Saros cycle, and, except for the one on January 5 (6), part of the 19 year Metonic cycle. (If you heard my NCGR Eclipse webinar or attended my Philadelphia talk, some of the information will be repeated but only on eclipses.)
  •  
  • Planetary Stations.  Annual retrograde cycles of Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. (Stations of Saturn and Pluto especially important because they are close to eclipses) 
  • Aspects.  Some of the more important aspects for 2019 are as follows.
  • Saturn and Pluto will not be conjunct until January 12, 2020, but they will be moving close to each other, and will be joined by Jupiter in 2020, so their positions will be looked at. 
  • Saturn-Ketu (South Node) conjunction occurs three times because Saturn is retrograde: April 30, July 4, September 28. Since  in Indian astrology Ketu, or South Node, takes on the qualities of Mars, so it is like having a Saturn-Mars conjunction.  
  • Pluto-Ketu (South Node) April 4. Like having a Pluto-Mars conjunction.  
  • Tropical Ingresses. This year Uranus makes definitive entrance into Taurus on March 6, 2019. Jupiter will be in Sagittarius all year until December 2 when it moves into Capricorn.   
  • Sidereal Ingresses. The Nodes move into Gemini (Rahu-North Node) and Sagittarius (Ketu-South Node) on March 23. Jupiter is presently in Scorpio. It moves into Sagittarius on March 23 and retrogrades back into Scorpio on April 25, and moves definitively into Sagittarius on November 4. 
  • And so much more.  
  • Please register below to get reduced rates through December 17. On December 18 rates will increase.
