Rahu and America’s Date with Destiny 2024
​​
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens”. The timeless quote from Ecclesiastes is apropos for these times as America has entered into a new season of time; the planetary cycle of Rahu. Rahu is a planet of storm and rebellion, and it will come as no surprise that the United States was born on July 4th, 1776 in the planetary cycle of Rahu. As the world watches, once again America is in the season of storm and rebellion.
​
Cycles, or seasons of time are found in all almanacs and calendars that measure both the quality and duration of time. Vedic astrology utilizes a system of planetary cycles, or seasons that repeat themselves every hundred and twenty years. Rahu, and his counterpart Ketu, are the shadow planets of storm and eclipses, for what was once in the light has now entered shadow and will soon be eclipsed. If we wish to forecast the fruit of a particular season we only need to look back on the historical record of past seasons for as Mark Twain proclaimed: “history never repeats itself, but often rhymes”. Join Dennis as he forecasts Rahu’s season from the birth chart of the United States for America’s date with destiny 2024.

Jyotish Gems: The Color of Light
The light of this world that reveals itself as white light is only due to the imperfection of the human eye. If this light is passed through a more perfect instrument, such as a prism, it will variegate into the spectrum of all the primary colors of the rainbow. These seven primary colors are visible anytime light is refracted. The Jyotishis, or Vedic astrologers of ancient India, have long known the association of the seven visible planets with the visible spectrum of light, as well as the association of the invisible spectrum of infrared and ultraviolet with the invisible planets. They have long known that the influence of the planets is transmitted through the vibration of light waves. This intensive will explore the color vibration of each of the planets, and their perfected instruments, such as gems, that can be utilized to transmit the color of the planets as remedial measures.
​
The association of specific gems with the planets and constellations were known to the ancient seers. The confusion started in modern times in 1912 when the American National Retail Jewelers’ Association changed the ancient gem correspondences for more commercially available gems for purely financial gain.
In this class, Dennis will cite from the traditional sources of India, such as the Garuda Purana, as well as from more contemporary scholars including Richard Brown and Harish Johari. Dennis will explain the differences between the various schools of gemstone theory and their application to each of the planets to all those who have a serious interest in gems, those priceless points of light.
