The Fun Begins Out West

Orthodox weather forecasters are wondering why so much energy is available for storms right now as a big one is cranking up in the
Southwest and soon to traverse the whole country. Astrometeorologists, or those that use planetary positions and cycles to create long-range weather forecasts, know that the answer is the Sun-Saturn square.



The Weather Alternative forecast for November 28th-December 2nd was posted on October 23rd. The forecast specified "that Sun square Saturn brings a major storm system, which will not only affect the Pacific Northwest but also the southern portions of California and Nevada."


Both of these particulars are being fulfilled now--a little over a month later. The forecast in itself is an impossibility for conventional forecasters whose forecast range at the most is 3 or 4 days. The Weather Channel map above shows the storm affecting southern portions of California and Nevada.

The Accuweather map at left shows the fulfillment of the other portion of the forecast as a storm hits the Pacific Northwest. More powerful storms will blast into the Pacific Northwest on Sunday (Dec 1) and Monday (Dec 2) with heavy rain, mountain snow, and powerful winds.

The storm in the Southwest will head east over the next few days and create lake-effect blizzards over the Great Lakes. New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania are in the paths of this monster storm, which will probably fulfill the other long-range forecast for November 28-Dec 2 posted on The Weather Alternative that stated The Sun's square to Saturn in the seasonal chart will upset atmospheric conditions over the eastern U.S. A storm system or a cold front triggering storms will push through the area. Potentially, weather could turn severe over the Ohio Valley.

Faith of Our Fathers

On the 10th of May, 1774, news of the Port Bill reached Boston. The Port Bill stated that the harbor of the city would be closed to all shipping on June first if the citizens did not pay for the tea destroyed by the "wild Indians" of the Boston Tea Party.

When the news of this reached the House of Burgesses in Williamsburg, Virgina the members of the House declared the following:

House of Burgesses May 24, 1774

This House, being deeply impressed with apprehension of the great dangers to be derived to British America from the hostile invasion of the City of Boston in our sister colony of Massachusetts Bay, whose commerce and harbor are, on the first day of June next, to be stopped by an armed force, deem it highly necessary that the said first day of June be set apart, by the members of this House as a day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer, devoutly to implore the divine interposition for averting the heavy calamity which threatens destruction to our civil rights, and the evils of civil war; to give us one heart and one mind firmly to oppose, by all just and proper means, every injury to American rights...

Astro-Weather Twins: Jakarta and Northeast U.S.

November 27, 2007 BBC News

Several days of torrential rain have caused rivers to burst their banks, sending muddy water up to 3m (10ft) deep into homes and businesses.
Hundreds of residents are still holding out on the second floor of their homes, either trapped or unwilling to move, the BBC's Rebecca Henschke in Jakarta says.


The same astrological factors that brought wind and soaking rain to the Northeast U.S. affected the Jakarta area with torrential downpours. Due to other topographical features of the Southeast Asian city, this caused serious flooding.

In the Solar Ingress for the Fall season, Uranus occupied the 7th house cusp over the Northeast U.S. when it turned direct on November 24th. In Jakarta, the Solar Ingress places Uranus on the 1st house cusp.

The New Moon chart of November 9th placed Neptune, the pluvial planet par excellence, on the Midheaven through the Northeast U.S. and on the nadir through Jakarta. Mercury squared Neptune on the 24th.

The most recent lunar eclipse was triggered by the Sun's first square on the 27th. The Sun and Moon were rising and setting over Indonesia and the eastern U.S. at the time of the eclipse.

MORE COMMUNICATION KEYS FOR YOUR MARRIAGE--By H. Norman Wright

YOUR INNER CONVERSATIONS
Each of us carries on conversations with ourselves daily. This doesn't mean that we are odd or on the verge of spacing out. It's normal to talk to oneself. After you read this, however, I hope you will be much more conscious of your self talk. You will probably be shocked by the amount of time you spend on inner conversations & how those conversations affect your marriage.

Are you aware that:
--Most of your emotions--such as anger, depression, guilt, worry--are initiated & escalated by your self talk?
--The way you behave toward your spouse is often determined by your self talk & not by his or her behaviour?
--What you say & how you say it is a direct expression of your self talk?

Self talk is the message you tell yourself about yourself, your spouse, your experiences, the past, the future, God etc. It is a set of evaluating thoughts about facts & events that happen to you. As events are repeated, many of your thoughts, & thus your emotional responses, become almost automatic. Sometimes the words you tell yourself are never put together in clear statements. They may be more like impressions.

Rain and Wind for the Northeast

We're just a few days past Uranus' direct station and the cold
weather breeding planet is living up to its reputation. The Weather Alternative forecast for November 24-28, 2007 stated that Uranus' direct station and the Sun's first square to the most recent lunar eclipse would bring a strong cold front and noticeable storms over the Northeast U.S.


The Weather Channel graphic at the right shows the low-pressure system creating a stormy and rainy night in the Northeast. Weather forecasters reported that the storm is bringing soaking rains to much of the Northeast, some lake-effect snows near the Great Lakes, as well as a wintry mix to Upstate New York and parts of New England.


That's not all. As shown in the accompanying Accuweather map, behind the storm, the Great Lakes and Northeast will see increasing west to northwest winds gusting up to 40 mph.






In an earlier long-range forecast for November 23-25, 2007, The Weather Alternative called for a storm system to plague the New England area.

The storm hit a day earlier (22nd) than forecast and then ushered in cold air on strong, northwesterly winds on the 23rd as seen in the maps below.

Three Forecasts and a Storm

Mercury's square to Neptune, exact on November 24th, was the
basis for three long-range forecasts posted on The Weather Alternative at the end of October.



The first forecast called for a stormy period over the Rockies. The Accuweather map at right shows the storms over that area. The Weather Channel reported tonight that " ...snow is on the increase from Colorado and western Kansas to the southeast Arizona mountains, New Mexico and western Texas. The southern Rockies from the San Juan to the Sangre de Cristo and the Davis Mountains of southwest Texas could locally receive over a foot of snow...

The second forecast stated Cold Canadian air will make its way southward and ignite storms over the central U.S. Moisture from the Gulf is available now creating storms over the southern portions of Texas as it is drawn northward into the southern Plains.

The Accuweather map at left shows the storm that will develop over the southern portions of Texas through Saturday the 24th. They expect drenching rains to accompany this storm system.

The third forecast for the period between November 24th and 26th
warned that An intensifying storm will deliver its rainy message to the Mississippi Valley as well and push eastward. The Louisiana and Mississippi area are expected to receive a concentrated dose of wet weather.

Accuweather foresees "locally damaging thunderstorms are possible over the lower Mississippi Valley Sunday (25th) into Monday (26th)."

The Weather Channel predicts " The heaviest rain over eastern Texas and Louisiana Saturday could locally drop 1 to 3 inches." The Accuweather map at right shows the approaching storm over the area forecast in The Weather Alternative forecast last October.

An arctic air mass is headed southward over the Rockies and Plains
and will dump 2 to 4 inches of snow over Denver, Colorado starting tonight. The Weather Alternative in its long-range forecast for November 14-19, 2007 called for severe weather over the Colorado/New Mexico area--just a bit too early.

The same forecast called for "a strong storm system to generate a windy state of affairs over the northern Rockies." The Weather Channel map at left for the 18th shows a low-pressure area north of Montana. The National Weather Service reported the following:

URGENT - WEATHER MESSAGE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT318 AM MST SAT NOV 17 2007

Accuweather confirmed the forecast with the following map and comment:

Northwest Train of Storms Updated: Thursday, November 15, 2007 10:09 AM The freight train of storms has started in the Northwest. A cold front in the region is the first of a series that will enter the region over the next few days. This system will produce rain and showers across the region, along with high winds that will make for a miserable day Thursday. Some areas of the Washington Cascades and northern Rockies will also receive freezing rain from these storms.

More Soaking Rain Updated: Sunday, November 18, 2007 8:04 AM A train of moisture building into the Northwest will bring rain and showers from the coast to Montana today. The heaviest of this moisture will be aimed at Oregon.

Forecast November 16-19, 2007

The last forecast called for dangerous storms over Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas due to the disruptive energies of the Venus-Mars square. The Venus-Mars square is exact today (19th) and a larger window would have been more appropriate for the forecast for it is just tonight that the main weather event is shaping up. The National Weather Service reports the following for Texas, Kansas, and Oklahoma:

342 PM CST TUE NOV 20 2007

...MUCH COLDER AIR TO MOVE INTO THE REGION TONIGHT WITH A CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING WINTER PRECIPITATION THURSDAY INTO SATURDAY...A STRONG COLD FRONT LOCATED OVER THE NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE THIS AFTERNOON WILL CONTINUE MOVING SOUTH ACROSS THE SOUTH PLAINS DURING THE NIGHT. IT WILL BRING THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES OF THIS FALL SEASON.

DISCUSSION...A STRONG COLD FRONT MOVING SOUTHEAST THROUGH KANSAS THIS AFTERNOON WILL ENTER NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA EARLY TONIGHT AND MOVE TO THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF OKLAHOMA BEFORE NOON ON WEDNESDAY. VERY STRONG SOUTH WINDS AHEAD OF THE FRONT WILL SHIFT NORTHWARD BEHIND THE FRONT.

Becoming Sensible About Failure

We learn very little by success. Success tends to make us comfortable & complacent. A reversal on the old saying would be "Nothing fails like success."

In 1927, Babe Ruth hit sixty home runs, more than anyone in the history of baseball. He also set another record that year: He struck out more than anyone in the history of baseball. The truth is, if you want to hit home runs, you must be willing to strike out. There is no way around this simple lesson of life. If you want your children to experience the exhilaration of success, then you must encourage them to learn how to fail--& in fact, to fail a lot.

It is this insight about failure that leads virtually all great innovators to pursue their work with a kind of obsession. Thomas Edison, who dabbled in the unknown almost all his life, was inspired to say, "Show me a thoroughly satisfied man & I will show you a failure."

The successful person is not one who never fails; instead, he is a person who dusts himself off after falling, & learns what obstacles to avoid in the road. The person who shuns failure will lie in the road & whine or, even worse, stay off the road in the first place, content to take a safe, well-known course throughout life, avoiding failure & personal fulfillment at the same time.

When a reporter asked Thomas Edison how it felt to have failed 25,000 times in his effort to create a simple storage battery, his reply was, "I don't know why you are calling it a failure. Today I know 25,000 ways not to make a battery. What do you know?"

If we train our children to go after achievement & ignore inner satisfaction, then we are teaching them to take the easy path, to be more concerned about the opinions & rewards bestowed upon us by others, & consequently to avoid any hint of failing. William Jones, the psychologist & philosopher, said, "The exclusive worship of success is our national disease."

Forecast
December 6-10, 2007
Mercury's square to Saturn on December 6th will be followed by the Sun's square to Uranus on the the 7th. The all-important solar ingress map for the season places these over the East Central States and the Northeast. The New Moon chart localizes the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction (exact on the 11th) over the Northeast as well. All of these planetary aspects are heavy hitters when it comes to weather. The transit Moon will activate the Jupiter-Pluto conjunction on the 10th. A major storm system will plow through the eastern U.S. at this time and continue through the Northeast. Travel conditions will most likely be dangerous. Attention should be paid to local weather services for details regarding this storm.


Forecast
December 7-9, 2007
Perhaps related to the aforementioned weather system, planetary influences over the country's midsection show an invasion of cold air and windy conditions over Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and Nebraska. This may be due to a low-pressure system that tracks through the area. Severe storms and colder conditions are also anticipated over the south central Texas area.


Forecast
December 15-17, 2007
December's New Moon promises storms and colder conditions to develop in and around the Tennessee and Alabama area due to Saturn's placement in this lunation. Farther west, the British Columbia coast and the Pacific Northwest should prepare for a strong winter storm to visit the area.

ATLANTA — Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue stepped up to a podium outside the state Capitol on Tuesday and led a solemn crowd of several hundred people in a prayer for rain on his drought-stricken state."We've come together here simply for one reason and one reason only: To very reverently and respectfully pray up a storm," Perdue said after a choir provided a hymn.

Georgia and its neighboring states are caught in a drought that threatens public water supplies. Perdue has ordered water restrictions, launched a legal battle against the release of water from federal reservoirs and appealed to President Bush.
"It's time to appeal to him who can and will make a difference," Perdue told the crowd.

God bless him for having the conviction to do this.

Addendum Nov 20, 2007

Perhaps the Lord is beginning to answer their prayers. Today Accuweather posted the following map and comment.

Mother Nature will give the South something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. A cold front will spread showers and thunderstorms over the drought-stricken region Wednesday into Thursday with noticeably cooler air to follow before a more widespread rain could reach the region late in the weekend.

It's a shame they can't say God is doing it. Today, as I was reading about the Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving, I came across this bit of information. Three years after the Pilgrims celebrated Thanksgiving, they experienced a drought.

The 3rd year brought a spring and summer that was hot and dry with the crops dying in the fields. Governor Bradford ordered a day of fasting and prayer, and it was soon thereafter that the rain came.

Stormy Northeast and Canada

Snow showers will spread into the Northeast interior by Friday, while a snow storm could develop over northern Maine. The rapidly developing storm will hit eastern Quebec and Atlantic Canada pretty hard. The Weather Alternative forecast posted on Ocotber 23rd indicated that between November 14th and 19th Mars' retrogade movement carried the potential to generate stormy conditions over the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. The Weather Alternative also posted the following for November 16-19: A low-pressure system, probably located near Quebec, will affect the New England area.

The Meteorological Service of Canada today posted numerous weather warnings for eastern Canada similar to the following:

A low pressure system over new-hampshire is moving northeastward while intensifying and will lie over Sept-Îles Friday evening.This system will affect mostly central and eastern Québec today and Friday.
Regions west of the track of the low pressure system will receive significant snowfall amounts...

Forecast and results for November 8-11
The Accuweather graphic at the left for November 11th, coincides with The Weather Alternative forecast for November 8-11. The forecast called for active weather over the Plains states centering in and around the Dakotas and Minnesota. Here we see a low pressure system close to the forecast area.







Forecast and results for November 9-12

This forecast called for low-pressure over the Rockies with heavy precipitation over Nevada. The accompanying Accuweather map is for the 11th. They reported: Many areas from Southern California to Montana will experience rain or showers as this front progresses towards the southeast.

A front moving through Southern California on Sunday (11th) brought rain to the state and snow in Nevada, with 5.5 inches of snow reported near Wildhorse, Nev.

Forecast and results for Nov 12-14

This forecast called for cold air to sweep into the Northeast generating storms. The map at left is for the 14th. Accuweather reported:

A cold front passing through tonight (14th) and Thursday will quickly sweep out that mild air, causing rain to fall. Today's comfortable air will be replaced by a wintry blast, complete with noticeably cooler air, gusty and chilly winds and snow showers across the interior.

I am unable to post the results of the some of the forecasts from November 5-12 since I was out of the country and had no Internet service available.

A Rundown of Recent Forecasts

Here's a rundown on how recent long-range forecasts based on planetary cycles played out.

A powerful low-pressure system was forecast for the Pacific Northwest between Nov 1-3. The Accuweather map at right shows the arrival of a low on the 4th--a bit later than anticipated.

On the 3rd, Accuweather reported:

A cold front extending from an area of low pressure in Canada will bring a chilly rain to Washington and snow to parts of the Prairies in Canada. Cold air will spill down into the region behind the front as a result of an area of high pressure over British Columbia. This system will move eastward and strengthen to bring even colder air to the East coast.

November 1st through the 3rd was also to bring a cold front triggering storms over the Northeast U.S. The 3rd saw the arrival of Noel over the region with winds of 40 to 60 mph.

The Weather Alternative also called for possible tropical storm or hurricane formation between 35 and 43 west longitude. Between the 2nd and 3rd a tropical wave was reported over the above coordinates by the National Weather Service.

...TROPICAL WAVES...TROPICAL WAVE IS ALONG 33W S OF 16N MOVING W NEAR 10 KT. BROAD AREA OF SMALL CLUSTERS OF SCATTERED MODERATE/ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION COVERS THE AREA FROM 3N-15N BETWEEN 30W-37W.

Typing monkeys don't write Shakespeare. (AP)

Give an infinite number of monkeys an infinite number of typewriters, the theory goes, and they will eventually produce the works of Shakespeare.

Give six monkeys one computer for a month, and they will make a mess. Researchers at Plymouth University in England reported that primates left alone with a computer attacked the machine and failed to produce a single word.

"They pressed a lot of S's," researcher Mike Phillips said. "Obviously, English isn't their first language."

At first, said Phillips, "the lead male got a stone and started bashing the hell out of the computer. Another thing they were interested in was in defecating and urinating all over the keyboard."

The notion that monkeys typing at random will eventually produce literature is often attributed to Thomas Huxley, a 19th-century scientist who supported Charles Darwin's theories of evolution.

Flooding in Southeast Mexico

A week of heavy rains caused rivers to overflow, leaving 70 percent of the Mexican State of Tabasco underwater as well as 80 percent of Villahermosa, the state capital. The state of Chiapas, which borders Tabasco to the south, also reported serious flooding, with officials there estimating that more than 100,000 people had been affected.

The Weather Alternative had posted a long-range weather forecast last September for the October 29th - November 2nd time period. The forecast warned of a possible low-pressure system to form off the east coast of Mexico around 96 west longitude and 23 north latitude. The flooding in Tabasco and Chiapas has taken place further south than those coordinates. The forecast was based on the Venus-Jupiter square of October 29th.

As can be seen from the astro-locality map, Venus and Jupiter were angular and formed a crossing off the east coast of Mexico accompanied by the Moon which had just squared Venus and opposed Jupiter. This is indicated on the map by the circle. The Tabasco-Chiapas area is shown by the square.

A glimpse at the astrological chart set for the Tabasco-Chiapas area shows that even there the planets held strong angular positions, and most likely account for the astrological influences at work behind the heavy rains and flooding. Our prayers are with the residents of the area and the government workers who are trying their best to help the victims.
