January 25-27, 2011 New England and Eastern Canada

Astronomical cycles involving the Sun, Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto culminate between January 25-27, 2011 and bring storm potential for New England, Nova Scotia and surrounding areas.

At this time Saturn will begin its retrograde motion, which by itself, is an indicator of cold, damp weather. On the day it turns retrograde, it also receives a square from Mercury. Negative aspects from Mercury coincide with low pressure systems. The Sun's parallel to Pluto is also operating at this time and has been observed to breed cold weather.

The Faith Value of The US Dollar

Financial Crisis



Unfettered greed, plain usury, outsourcing and endless wars have hollowed out from the inside the American Economy. And the black horse of the Apocalypse is running free collecting his dues.

The once mighty dollar has been reduced to nothing more than worthless paper devalued to but a shadow of its former glory. The UN, China, Russia, Arab Nations and World economic leaders are all calling for a new world currency, In essence, the report calls for a new Bretton Woods-style system of managed international exchange rates, meaning central banks would be forced to intervene and either support or push down their currencies depending on how the rest of the world economy is behaving.

How ironic that the idol that so many worshiped has come down bring with it its mighty temples and threatens to bury its devotees. Is not a question of if but when will the US Dollar collapse. Panicked investors have reacted by driving the price of gold to new heights never seen in world history.

Great Lakes Winter Storm Jan 10-13, 2011

Between January 10th and 13th, 2011 the formation of a low pressure system and an invasion of cold air over the Great Lakes will likely result in winter storm and high wind warnings over the area.

Cold fronts on weather maps are depicted by the following symbol.



Many readers, however, prefer Gil Elvgren's depiction of a Cold Front.

While we're on the subject of heavenly bodies, it is precisely the angular relationships involving the Sun, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Uranus that, according to astro-meteorology, will trigger the intense low pressure system over the Great Lakes area.

The Sun's parallel to Mercury accelerates wind velocities. Mercury's parallel to Mars also has the same effect. Bleak, penetrating, blustery cold weather accompanies the square of Mercury to Uranus, and high-velocity winds attend the parallel between Jupiter and Uranus.

The Pacific Northwest and British Columbia, as well as the Northeast U.S. will also be affected by these planetary alignments.

South Texas Wet Weather Feb 16-18, 2011

The First Quarter Moon of February 11, 2011 sets up a potentially wet weather pattern for the South Texas Plains region.



As shown on the accompanying map, at the time of the First Quarter Moon, Neptune and the Moon occupy angular positions. That is to say as the Moon is setting to the west, Neptune will be anti-culminating or reaching its lowest point (directly underneath the earth).

Around the 17th, the Sun will oppose Neptune and spark this planetary combination over the Rio Grande about 150 miles southwest of San Antonio, Texas. Neptune , the most pluvial of all the celestial bodies, foreshadows abundant moisture and threatens flooding in those regions where it occupies the meridian.

Significant West Coast Storm February 20-23, 2011

Expect whipping winds and a strong low pressure system to bring precipitation to coastal areas of British Columbia, the Pacific Northwest, Idaho, and Nevada as it pushes eastward.

The planet Neptune occupies the 116th line of west longitude through Idaho, Nevada, and southern California in the winter seasonal chart. Neptune's influence has been observed by astro-meteorologists to correspond with increased atmospheric moisture, southerly air flows, and heavy downpours when aspected negatively by other planets. Between the 20th and 23rd of February 2011, both Mercury and Mars will conjoin Neptune triggering its pluvial influence.

Conjunctions of Mercury and Mars bring acute weather systems characterized by whipping westerly winds. The conjunction of Mars and Neptune induce a rapidly falling barometer and semi-tropical-like low pressure systems. Mercury's conjunction to Neptune also lowers the barometer and increases precipitation.

The Mars-Neptune conjunction occurs about every two years. Our last one was the conjunction of March 8, 2009. The seasonal chart for the winter of 2008-9 also placed Neptune over the West Coast States. That particular storm, which was also was the subject of a long-range forecast brought winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories across the Pacific Northwest, Idaho, and western Montana. Snow levels in western Washington and northwest Oregon were about at sea level causing driving problems. This year's Mars-Neptune conjunction is exacerbated by the additional energy of the Mercury-Mars conjunction.

The celestial waterworks may actually get underway a few days beforehand when the Sun makes its conjunction to Neptune on the 17th. Then, the Full Moon of February 18th falls in close conjunction to Neptune drawing moisture up from southern regions.

The same planetary configurations affect the eastern portion of Australia which may now be subject to heavy rain.

Major Storm January 3-5, 2011

The ingredients for a major storm to form over the Great Lakes area will come together between the 3rd and 5th of January 2011. According to the long-range forecast method based on Johannes Kepler's use of planetary cycles, the alignments of Jupiter and Uranus coupled with the configuration between Venus and Neptune will provide the cold and moisture needed to create a powerful atmospheric disturbance.






The conjunction of Jupiter and Uranus recurs at average periods of 13.81 years and have been observed by astro-meteorologists to coincide with intense cold fronts and high velocity winds. During the 2010-11 winter season, Jupiter and Uranus set up residence over 87 west longitude ranging southward through Chicago, Illinois, western Kentucky and Tennessee, and on through Mobile, Alabama.


The configurations between Venus and Neptune, the pluvial planet par excellence,
have been observed to induce southerly air flows, lower barometer, and the heaviest downpours. The New Moon chart at this time localizes their influence over the Great Lakes area.








It appears that a cold air mass from the northern Plains will push eastward and collide with warm, moist air over the Great Lakes at this time and affect an area as far southward as Tennessee. The storm should then move eastward over the U.S. Northeast.

Approaching Storm Appears On Schedule

Accuweather meteorologists over the last few days have become aware of a snowstorm that may affect the Northeast and New England this weekend. This is the storm that I posted about 2 months ago based on astro-meteorological indicators.



Accuweather meteorologists have stated that the odds are increasing for the storm to affect the Northeast and New England but they are not sure yet if it will track that close to the coast.



In my post of October 16, 2010, I explained the astro-meteorological reasoning behind the storm. The combination of the Sun's conjunction to a retrograde Mercury (a classic storm breeder) and their squares to Uranus between December 18th and 20th led to the forecast for a possible Nor'easter-type storm to affect the area.

Near Blizzard Conditions for New England

In a recent post, I commented on the
storm potential for December 3-5, 2010. I explained the astro-meteorological influences at work and which of the three scenarios that Accuweather presented were the most likely.


At the time they felt that either
1) a big snowstorm would affect the Northeast
2) nothing at all would happen or
3) it would track too far east or west.

My take was that a good-sized storm would hit the Northeast, New England, and Nova Scotia and that if it were to track anywhere it would track to the east.

On the 4th, Accuweather reported that two long-duration storms would take aim on northern New England and part of Quebec. The heaviest snow would be in Vermont, Maine, and Quebec.

On the 5th, they reported "Near Blizzard Set to Pound Maine."

Today's Weather Channel map (Dec 6) shows the area still under the gun.
