Recent Forecasts

Last December The Weather Alternative issued long-range forecasts for January 2008. Here's a look at how the most recent ones are shaping up.


Forecast
January 5-7, 2008


The Rockies is under the influence of the Sun's sextile to Uranus. Cold, dry air pushes southward over the Rockies. If enough moisture is in place, storms may be triggered.

The Weather Channel January 6, 2008 West Regional

Weather conditions have improved over the West, but it still remains an inhospitable area for travelers with rain, snow, and wind today over much of the region.
The heaviest snows are expected in the Rockies in southwestern Colorado, the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, and the Oregon Cascades, where up to a foot (with more possible in Colorado) of new snow is possible through Monday evening.




Forecast
January 6-8, 2008


Mercury and Uranus are considered cold planets in astrometeorology. The Sun's sextile to Uranus and its parallel to Mercury are the main influences at work over the Northeast U.S. These planetary aspects with the Sun argue a strong cold front with perhaps windy conditions over the region.

Results

The Northeast U.S. actually experienced a warm up in direct defiance of the forecast. Why? I'm now convinced that the warm air flow is the result of Mercury's parallel to Jupiter, which was exact on the 5th. Mercury and Jupiter, in this set up, are known to elevate temperatures. In the Solar Ingress seasonal map, Jupiter is positioned over 88 west longitude affecting the eastern U.S.

Chronologically, this aspect happened first. Parallels, in astrometeorology, do have the reputation for being stronger than regular zodiacal aspects. Seems like this was the case.

How Long-Range Forecasts Are Made

Libra

Libra contains three bright stars whose names supply us with the whole matter. The brightest a (in the lower scale), is named Zuben al Genubi, which means the purchase, or price which is deficient. This points to the fact that man has been utterly ruined. He is "weighed in the balances and found wanting.

This is the verdict pronounced and recorded by this star Zuben al Genubi.

Is there then no hope? Is there no one who can pay the price?
Yes; there is "the Seed of the woman." (Virgo) He is not merely coming as a child, but He is coming as an atoning sacrifice.

He is coming for the purpose of Redemption! He can pay the price which covers! Hence in the upper scale we have another bright star with this very name Zuben al Chemali--THE PRICE WHICH COVERS! "They sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy...for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed...to God by thy blood" (Rev 5:9). This is the testimony of b, the second brightest star! It has another name, al Gubi, heaped up, or high, telling of the infinite value of this redemption price. But there is a third star, g, below, towards Centaurus and the Victim slain, telling, by that and by its name, of the conflict by which that redemption would be accomplished. It is called Zuben Akrabi or Zuben al Akrab, which means the price of the conflict!
