Hi all
Welcome to those receiving this newsletter for the first time and welcome back to those of you who are subscribed. If you would like to read the April 2021 News & Views you can do it here conta.cc/2RRcONI. You can also read the last mini-newsletter about my NCGR webinar on The Magnificent Venus Cycle here conta.cc/3uM0ZqK.
Thanks to those NCGR members who attended the webinar despite some unexpected glitches. The presentation will soon be available on Youtube. Again, apologies for the lateness of this newsletter. There were so many planetary signatures occurring in the last week of the month, it just proceeded that way.
This is a time when we need to keep the world in our thoughts and prayers. I would like to extend prayers to everyone in India and everyone reading this who has family, friends and colleagues there. Let's hope that with aid and assistance with vaccinations and medication the virus will start to take a downward turn. I also send the same to the people in the Middle East who are affected by the current conflict in Gaza, and hope that this ceasefire holds. With retrogrades and eclipses merging in real time, vigilance is required.
We are definitely heading into stormy seas, with the retrograde parade starting, and eclipse season, so this is definitely the time over the next month through mid-June to take deep breaths, meditate, pray, do service and anything you might do to find that peaceful center. It will also be great to extend that to others. Everything is opening up after the pandemic, and it is beginning to feel as if a new day is dawning, but with eclipses and retrogrades you just never know what can occur on many different levels. I may not kiss and hug everyone just yet but I am certainly socializing already more than the past year, which seems like on the one hand a bad dream, but on the other hand an incredible learning experience by sharing knowledge with so many people who wanted to connect more than ever before.
This year's eclipse cycle might be more dramatic and intense than usual because of the Saturn retrograde station occurring on May 23 three days prior to the May 26 eclipse and the Mercury retrograde station occurring on May 29 three days after the May 26 eclipse, which is the midpoint between the two. I have discovered over the years that often times global events that impact the world, especially meteorological events like earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, and wars or deaths of leaders occur when malefic retrograde stations are close to total eclipses. For those of you who attended by year ahead class (still on sale at a reduced price) I mentioned this period when we spoke about the eclipses. One example (and there are many) was the Haiti Earthquake, which occurred January 12, 2010, Saturn stationed retrograde January 14, 2010, Solar annular eclipse January 15, 2010. Let's hope that this will pass without that major event and that the ceasefire in Gaza continues. Scroll below for more information on the Eclipses and the Retrograde Parade.
You may notice that I have not talked about Jupiter's entrance into sidereal Aquarius or tropical Pisces and that is because I focus more on the planetary positions in relation to each other and to their retrograde and direct cycles. Mostly I do this because my audience is both tropical and sidereal, but this will be talked about in the June News and Views when we talk about Jupiter's annual retrograde cycle, which this year is from June 20 through October 18. Jupiter's brief entrance into sidereal Aquarius and tropical Pisces before it goes back into the preceding sign, will give you a glimpse of its new cycle which begins after the October direct station but remember it is just a tease for now and does not mean that moves are permanent.
Information will be sent out next week about new intermediate Jyotisa classes to be held every other Wednesday evening beginning on July 7. The new classes focus on chart interpretation, with the first half of each class highlighting a technique and then the second half integrating it into complete chart analysis. Each class will continue with that technique or move on to another one. These classes will prepare you for the ACVA certification test or you can just take for your own skills and knowledge. In the meantime you can purchase past Jyotisa workshops that have taken place in the last year on my website www.ronniedreyer.com.
You can also still purchase the 4 1/2 hour and 70+ page power point presentation of the Sensitive Degrees 2021 webinar since it deals with the planetary configurations throughout the year beginning with the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction in December 2020. Price is reduced to $40 since 1/4 of the year has passed but there is still May-December 2021, as well as a supplementary webinar offered in July reviewing what has happened and looking at the next six months. Purchase at www.ronniedreyer.com.
If you wish to book a reading, you can see types of readings and prices below. Email me at ronniegaledreyer@gmail.com if you wish to book a reading and I will reach out to you with available dates and times. My next availability begins Wednesday June 16.

Eclipse Season is Here!
One of the most important periods over the next few weeks is once again eclipse season, which as you all know if you have followed my work, occurs every six months for two weeks, or like last summer for one month since there were three eclipses. This year eclipse season begins on May 26, 2021 with the Total Lunar Eclipse (Full Moon) at 11:13 GMT, Tropical. 05° Sagittarius 25'. Sidereal. 11° Scorpio 22’, anurādhā nakṣatra followed on June 10, 2021 with the Annular Solar Eclipse (New Moon) at 10:52 GMT, Tropical. 19° Gemini 47’. Sidereal. 25° Taurus 43’. mṛgaśira nakṣatra. This lunar eclipse will be a blood moon lunar eclipse because of its totality and the bright red color that will be visible in parts of the world. It is the first total lunar eclipse since January 21, 2019. For more go to www.space.com/super-flower-blood-moon-lunar-eclipse-2021-coming-soon.
In general, eclipse season, is always intense, dramatic, and revealing, for better or worse. Secrets come out of the closet and it begins at least a week before the eclipses begin. What is happening in the British media now with the revelations that Princess Diana's interview was obtained by showing her false documents is the perfect extreme example of this. Watch for other revelations in the media but also in government and in your personal lives. Be honest if you are holding something back from a friend, family member, partner or colleague since you will probably find out anyway.
Go with the intense energy that an eclipse brings or it will occur anyway and you will be unprepared. But remember to meditate, propitiate the Sun and Moon, and reflect on everything that is occurring in your life especially when it comes to the area that the eclipse is hitting in your chart. Reflect on the world around you, send positive energy and prayers to everyone, and enjoy inner peace. When you gain strength to stay calm amidst the storm ahead then you will be able to provide strength to yourself and others. With Saturn stationing so close to the eclipse, and Mercury stationing and retrograding during the two weeks between the eclipses, figure out how to solve problems, especially related to technology, communications, travel, etc.
Eclipses create energy, intensity, and they bring to light things that were otherwise hidden. It is important to see in which house the eclipse falls and especially if the eclipse falls on an angle, personal planet, or point in your chart then you will be directly affected by the eclipse. It will activate that point, bringing things to light that the planet or point represents, sometimes positively and sometimes negatively, and for changes in your life of some degree, as if you have been awakened and something has been revealed. Something will be activated, confronted, and ultimately transformed for better or worse.
During times of eclipses, secrets come to light and things get revealed especially during the two weeks between the eclipses. If your spouse or partner is having a secret love affair, or spending money on the side, it will come to light during eclipse season. If you make a business deal, or fall in love during eclipse season, be cautious since there are more things that will come to light as time passes. If you begin a relationship it is bound to have secrets attached to it so wait until a few weeks pass to declare your love. Mostly don't rush into anything since once eclipses end, you will know whether or not this is someone to pursue. That goes for both personal and professional relationships. Anything that happens around an eclipse makes it larger than life.
If the eclipse falls on or aspects a planet, point or angle in your chart you will be directly affected by the eclipse. Watch for the generic meaning of the planet, the house it rules, the house it occupies, and planets it conjoins or aspects, as they become part of the story. If they do not affect anything they still fall in a house. Scroll below to see the meaning of the houses.
These eclipses fall in the tropical Gemini-Sagittarius axis in your chart or the sidereal Taurus-Scorpio in your chart. If you work with whole sign houses this is not a problem as you can immediately see which house it falls in. If you practice an unequal house system, you have to see where it falls according to the degrees. If you do not know your chart, you can look at this from the position of the tropical Sun or sidereal Moon.
Total Lunar Eclipse. May 26, 2021. 11:13 AM GMT
Tropical. 5° Sagittarius 25’. Sidereal. 11° Scorpio 22’. rohiṇī
September 6, 2021. South Node (Ketu) conj. Lunar Eclipse Degree.
December 20, 2021. Mars conj. Lunar Eclipse Degree
The Lunar Eclipse occurs at a full moon when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon blocking the Sun’s rays from reaching all or part of the Moon. This eclipse is a total eclipse, which takes place when the full moon moves into the inner part of Earth's shadow, the umbra. The inner or umbral shadow is a region where the Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reaching the Moon, forming a total eclipse. The closer Nodes are to the Sun and Moon the more total the eclipse is, and in this case on the day of the eclipse the North and South Lunar Node are Tropical 10 Gemini 43/Sidereal 16 Taurus 40, so that they are between 5-6 degrees from the Sun and Moon. As you see the South Node (Ketu) will conjoin the Lunar Eclipse degree on September 6 and Mars will be there on December 20. This eclipse sets up intensity that culminates first in September and finally in December. Normally eclipses do not affect only one country, and even if there is an earthquake, fires, attacks, that seem to apply to one country, they have a greater effect on the world. This period between May 26 and September 6 (when the Nodes hits the eclipse degree) will be a time when you will deal with where this impacts you in your chart, and also has to do with the events in the world that occur around this time.
However this eclipse is also a twin eclipse of the one that occurred on November 30, 2020 on Tropical. 8° Gemini 38’. Sidereal. 14° Taurus 35’. rohiṇī with the North Node (Rahu) conjoining since that lunar eclipse occurred three degrees away in the opposite sign, so if you have anything near these degrees it is possible that something that began around end November will be back in the news or back in your life that began then. At the end of November two events piqued my attention. The first one was the assassination of the Iranian scientist who was vital in Iran's nuclear program. That could come back in the news. And of course the vaccinations for COVID were approved in the U.S. as well and so August and September could bring news regarding the vaccines, in terms of whether boosters will be need, how effective they have been, and perhaps more approval for children. Of course there can be adverse revelations as well but I sincerely hope that is not the case.
This is why when looking at eclipses, especially the lunar ones, it is important to look at the two signs that are opposite each other, since the signs form an axis. For now that is tropical Gemini-Sagittarius and sidereal Taurus-Scorpio. Since the Nodes will chart will concern itself with the same area, and so look at which houses in your chart are affected by this eclipse, and if you have planets, points, or angles around those degrees. I like a one degree orb, but sometimes you can take it to two if other planets are aspecting those points. So that means between 4-6 mutable, whatever is begun around this time, will come to completion around September , 2021, when South Node-Ketu comes to the eclipse degree.
More about the June 10 solar eclipse in the next June News and Views. For now check out the houses in your chart that encompass Gemini and Sagittarius, and if the above eclipse degrees conjoin a planet, point, or angle.
Always remember that eclipses wake up secrets and ideas that may be dormant, so you may get an influx of energy, but you have to be patient, since this is the time, to rearrange and transform your ideas and other things in your life. Take these next few months to figure things out since eclipses bring things to the surface. And they are not always bad. They can bring you promotions, contacts, and offers and this one will take time to develop. Take deep breaths and try not to give in to your anxiety and pessimism. Let peace and optimism bring you into summer and surround yourself with everyone you love. impatience and impulsivity.

Saturn and Mercury Station Retrograde
This year the retrograde parade begins with Saturn stationing retrograde on May 23 and Mercury stationing retrograde on May 29. Jupiter will follow on June 20 and we will discuss that in the June News & Views. Every year Jupiter retrogrades for 4 months, Saturn for 4 1/2 months and Mercury for three weeks every four months, but the reason these are intense, as I explained in the beginning of this newsletter, is because the May 26 eclipse is exactly midpoint between the Mercury and Saturn. Also when you have natural malefics like Saturn stationing right before or after an eclipse the intensity is quite palpable.
Planets retrograde when they "appear" to move backwards, slow their speed and move closest to the earth in their orbit. They slow their speed, and halfway through the Saturn retrograde cycle is the Sun-Saturn opposition, and halfway through the Mercury retrograde cycle is the Sun-Mercury conjunction.
Saturn Retrograde.
Saturn Stations Retrograde. May 23 2021. 9:18 AM GMT. 13° Aquarius 31'. Sidereal. 19° Capricorn 27'. śravanā
Saturn Stations Direct. October 11, 2021. 2:16 AM GMT Tropical 6° Aquarius 52'. Sidereal. 12° Capricorn 49'. śravanā
If you have any planets, points, or angles between tropical 13° Aquarius 31'- 6° Aquarius 52', or sidereal 19° Capricorn 27'- 12° Capricorn 49' you will get the planetary hit three times on that planet, point, or angle. If you have something on one of those stationary degrees, it will be there twice with the station being very potent. Retrogrades mean we need to focus on the idea of moving slowly and rexamining things that have come to us quickly and when we move towards the direct station in October we may realize what we must do to move forward in the area of the chart where Saturn retrogrades.
The word is restructuring which affects the planets, points, or angles Saturn hits, and if you have none, then look to where tropical Aquarius and sidereal Capricorn is in your chart. The strongest and most intense part of the cycle is when the Sun and Saturn form an opposition, since that is midway through the cycle when Saturn is closest to the earth. Expect things to be tense during that time in the world, and if lessons are learned then we will move in another direction of restructuring and rebuilding. That will be on August 2, 2021.
Mercury Retrograde.
Mercury enters Retrograde Arc or Shadow. May 15, 2021. Tropical 16° Gemini 07'. Sidereal. 22° Taurus 04’. rohiṇī
Mercury Stations Retrograde. May 29 2021. 10:33 PM GMT. Tropical. 24° Gemini 43'. Sidereal. 0° Gemini 9’. mṛgaśira
Sun-Mercury inferior conjunction. June 11 2021. 1:12 AM GMT. Tropical. 20° Gemini 21'. Sidereal. 26 Taurus 18'. mṛgaśira
Mercury Stations Direct. Jun 22 2021. 9:59 PM GMT. Tropical 16° Gemini 07'. Sidereal. 22° Taurus 04’. rohiṇī
Mercury Leaves Retrograde Arc or Shadow. July 7 2021. Tropical. 24° Gemini 43'. Sidereal. 0° Gemini 9’. mṛgaśira
With Mercury, it is always interesting to look at the dates that Mercury enters the shadow or retrograde arc, which is the date that it stations direct, and leaves the shadow or retrograde arc, which is the date that it stations retrograde. The period between the retrograde arc and the stations are not when Mercury is retrograde but could create snafus in travel, communication, technology, business, signing papers, and all the things that Mercury represents in general and the area that it travels through in your chart. A case in point. I presented a 90 minute webinar for the NCGR on Venus on May 16, the day after Mercury entered the retrograde arc, and is presently travelling through my tenth house of career and the public. Sure enough there were glitches in the webinar, and since I teach and present all the time, it was odd for that to happen. On Monday I had to re-record portions of it, but it worked out fine and it will be available on Youtube. Would that have happened if Mercury was not in the retrograde arc or approaching the station? Quite possibly. But it always is a time to give things extra attention.
I wrote this during the last Mercury retrograde and it still has the same significance. Even though we may have the difficulties as outlined above during the entire retrograde arc period, but it is especially focused during the three weeks of Mercury's actual retrograde motion. When Mercury is retrograde we may begin to see the flow of information slowing down, getting delayed, confused and completely misunderstood. We have to work even harder to be clear in our communications, since that really is what Mercury retrograde is all about. We cannot always control if our computers slow down, or if there is a lot of traffic and delays, but what we can do is just take deep breaths, call up patience, and really focus on what is most important and to choose our battles wisely. there is no reason to get bent out of shape if your train is delayed, and if you are late for an appointment, just be clear what the problem is and the person on the other end will understand. Watch machines, especially computers and cell phones, since they tend to break down, and since we use them for communication, it definitely comes under the purview of Mercury.
Ditto for signing contracts and any other important papers. Make sure you are clear, and you have asked all the questions you need to ask. Do not hesitate to ask for a re-wording of something, and just make sure you cover all your bases. It is always good to show the contract to someone who understands what it is about.
What I am suggesting is something you should do all the time, but especially during periods of retrograde Mercury. Sometimes we just have to sign contracts, leases, or papers for buying and selling homes. In that case you can try to choose a good day and hour. In general, you want to do things on a day ruled by a benefic planet, therefore, Monday (Moon), Wednesday (Mercury), Thursday (Jupiter) or Friday (Venus). Try to do that on a waxing moon, meaning between the new and full moon, but begin about two days after the new moon when we can see a sliver of it in the sky. We can also extend a positive period until three days after the Full Moon since it is still able to be seen in the sky. Of course this is general, but these are general tips for diverting Mercury retrograde. At this time I would try to wait until after the second eclipse, which is a new moon solar eclipse on June 10.
If you have any planets, points, or angles in between the degrees of the Mercury stations, see what those planets mean in a generic sense, and which house it occupies and rules since it will cross those planets three times. If you have anything 1-2 degrees of one of the stationary points, it will hit that degree twice but will be especially important for that planet when Mercury stations retrograde or direct. Just take care and take deep breaths. All times are in GMT.
Just like the eclipse degrees see if the degrees of the stations or the conjunction affects a planet, point, or angle in your chart. The houses where tropical Gemini and sidereal Taurus are located is where things may slow up, or create problems that will get cleared up but that will be drawn out and take more time to resolve than usual. This area of your life might become unpredictable, may slow down, or may take an unexpected turn. You may not get the results you want so either explore the new expression or be patient and wait for things to straighten out. Use the retrograde energy to think about plans but do not put them in motion until after Mercury goes direct.

The book, which was first released in 1997 was re-released in 2012 with added notes, and revisions and additions, including a new foreword and epilogue and larger print.
