Astronomer and Videographer: Bob Lighter is our VA Conference videographer. He is a professional video recorder as well as an astronomer. He will bring his high powered telescope to the conference for our Star Watch night. He is looking forward to showing you the stars live with this telescope. There is no charge for this of course.
Banquet: All registered attendees receive free banquet ticket. An evening of fun and live entertainment and dinner. So come and bring your best attire for the formal evening banquet.
Keeping in touch: On May 21st, we moved our web site to a larger, more up-to-date and faster server. The migration to the new server introduced some problems that we did not anticipate, and the website was down for a few days. Also, some of the technical details of how things are internally processed are different and this affected emails and the Online Chart Service. We are happy to report that everything is back up and running again and now on a faster and more secure server. If you placed an order any time from the evening of May 21 to 31 and you have not heard from us, this means that we did not receive your order. Please consider re-ordering it. Some of you called and asked about the orders you placed, and I appreciate your understanding, patience and support during this this transition. Thank you very much. For those of you who were not successful in contacting us during this transition, we are sorry we missed you and we apologize for the inconvenience. We are back up and running so feel free to contact us again.
Astro*Dictionary: Some of you have mentioned that you use the online Astro*Dictionary to look up terms, you have also requested improvements to the format to make it easier to navigate. We have done this. The Astro*Dictionary is a free service to the public and is located here:

Mercury Retrograde: Mercury went Retrograde at 10:34 PM GMT on May 29 and will go direct at 10:00 PM GMT on June 22. . Why are we sending this newsletter while Mercury is retrograde? As described above, havent we here at Cosmic Patterns Software and Matrix Software had enough problems during this Mercury Retrograde period? Interestingly, in the composite chart of the transits and my (Feis) natal chart there is a nearly exact Sun-Merury conjunction opposition Jupiter. A combination of Sun, Mercury, and Jupiter is a good time to send a newsletter! With Mercury retrograde it is indeed not a perfect time to send a newsletter but if we wait for perfect times, we can wait a very long time! Every astrologer uses different techniques and the composite chart of the transit chart and natal chart may not be important to you. A wonderful thing about the Kepler and Sirius software is that it is used by Hellenistic, Classical, Vedic, and modern western astrologers because of the enormous number of features and ease of use.
By the way, if you want to learn more about determining times when planets station, how to see aspects in the composite chart and natal chart or anything else, consider becoming a Kepler Club member. Information about membership is here: https://www.astrosoftware.com/cpnew/other/club.html
Also, Davids AstrologyDC websit (https://www.AstrologyDC.com), like Kepler Club offers monthly meetings where you can ask questions and discuss topics that interest you. Lastly on the topic of Mercury retrograde, you might enjoy the article Making Friends with Mercury Retrograde that I wrote at https://www.astrosoftware.com/cpnew/a_and_v/pdf/MercuryRx.pdf
Software Updates: Michael Erlewine, the original founder of Matrix Software and winner of the Regulus Lifetime Achievement Award, uses a technique called Burn Rate. In late April the calculation of the Burn Rate was added to both Blue*Star Personal and Blue*Star Pro. If you own Blue*Star and purchased it before late April, you can email us to receive the link to the free update program. Send the request for the Blue*Star 6 Update to [email protected] and please include your full name and home address along with your customer number. Note that our response may be slow due to the likelihood of a large number of requests in response to this newsletter. We will get back to you within 2 to 3 working days.
We will also add the Burn Rate calculation to Win*Star Pro soon. We will keep you posted. There is a good chance that we will announce that this feature is available in Win*Star Pro in next months newsletter.
Thanks again for all your support!
