Have you ever wondered
why one person seems prone to back and
neck pain,
while another is always suffering from colds and fevers - despite
similar
environments, work habits and nutrition? The answer could be as
simple
as the day you were born. In Healing
Signs, Ronnie Gale
Dreyer explores
why the planets affect the human body, and how, by understanding
this relationship,
one can experience a higher standard of health and well-being than ever
before. Though based largely on standard Western astrology, the
book includes
suggested diet, exercise and color and gem therapy options to
help
every sign maintain optimum health. Also includes information on
how current
planets affect health.

Tuesday. July 27, 2010. 7:30-9:30 PM. West Village area. New York City. $35. Jyotisa Master Class.As
usual
I will begin the class with the current planetary weather, which
includes the current Jupiter stationing retrograde in Pisces on July
23, and the Mars-Saturn conjunction on July 31, and then we will go on
to look at a chart. This time I am going to go a bit lighter and do
Chelsea Clinton. Since she is getting married on July 31, and since
we do know a lot about her, I thought it would be fun but more
important, informative to look at her chart, and really apply the
basics of what we know and more. Some of you have already seen me look
at her parents through her chart, and we will look at that in more
depth, but more so, we will look at timing of marriage, choice of her
profession, personality, etc., things that you will be asked about by
your clients since they are very bread and butter issues.
We will look at her navamsa, and at the muhurta for her marriage. This
should be a very informative talk and a bit of a detour from the usual
politicians. Information. Ronnie Dreyer
