January 1, 2014 Forecast: South America and China

Lately, I've been discussing certain important lunar cycles that affect weather patterns. I showed how Typhoon Haiyan was directly related to the Moon's closest monthly approach to Earth (perigee) and its maximum southern declination. (see post here)

I also ventured some forecasts based on the Moon's repeat performance of the same thing in December. Those forecasts pinpointed India and the Rocky Mountains of the United States as areas for potentially severe weather. The result was Cyclone Madi that affected India and a powerful winter storm that hit the Rockies. (see post here)

Forecast - December 29, 2013 - January 3, 2014

This setup will happen yet again on January 1, 2014 when the Moon will be at perigee and maximum south declination at the time of the New Moon. This type of New Moon has earned the nickname SuperMoon. At this time the Moon will also make a series of weather-disrupting aspects to Uranus, Sun, Pluto, Mars, and Mercury. Let's pinpoint where this will manifest. The astro-locality map, based on the winter solstice chart, below shows a strong concentration over Bolivia and Argentina in South America. Other charts (not shown) also include Ecuador and Peru. This most likely indicates a stormy period or unusual weather. For some of these South American countries it's their rainy season.


The next area to watch is China. The same planetary influences affect eastern portions of the country most likely indicating a clashing of colder Siberian air with a warmer, moist air mass from the south. The result should be a strong winter low pressure area or front that cuts through the region.

Were They Real? The Scientific Case for Adam and Eve

December 4, 2013 Forecast Results

In a recent post entitled An Observation on Typhoon Haiyan (Nov. 20), I formulated some forecasts for the period around Dec. 4, 2013. These forecasts were based on the two overlapping lunar cycles of perigee and maximum declination. On Dec. 4th, the Moon was also making important aspects to Uranus and Pluto. I had seen that this same setup in November had affected the Philippines coinciding with Typhoon Haiyan's arrival over the islands.

The first country that I thought would be affected by this setup was India, which I suspected would be hit by a cold front.



Around Dec. 4th, however, the southeastern portion of India was affected by a well-marked low pressure area that became Cyclone Madi. This was interesting since, as mentioned above, the lunar configurations of the previous month had resulted in Typhoon Haiyan. Here's the warning map issued on December 7th.



The next area of concern was the Rocky Mountain area of the United States. As shown in the astro-locality map below, the Moon, Uranus, and Pluto afflicted the area.


A winter storm dubbed "Cleon" by the Weather Channel dumped 20 to 30 inches of snow in some areas of the Rockies. Arctic air then plunged south across the region. The Weather Channel map below is for the evening of Dec. 3rd.



The last area centered in the western Atlantic just off the coast of Surinam.



No major system or low pressure was reported there at this time. From the water vapor imagery map of Dec. 5th below, there may have been some minor convection at most.

Severe Weather Alert: Western Australia Jan 7-10, 2014

The potential for a severe weather pattern, possibly a tropical cyclone, to hit the west coast of Australia between January 7-10, 2014 is indicated in long-range forecast models.  The models are based on the method utilized by Johannes Kepler, the 17th Century astronomer and discoverer of the planetary laws of motion. Kepler's observations led him to conclude that alignments among the planets of our solar system correlated with weather events on Earth.

Based on these studies, the alignment of the planets Mercury and Venus on January 8, 2014 and that of Mars and Jupiter on January 9 indicate a severe weather pattern will develop over the west coast of Western Australia. Traditionally, Venus has been observed to impregnate the atmosphere with moisture, thus increasing temperatures and humidity. When aligned with Mercury, warm winds blow resulting in the formation of low pressure systems. The Mars-Jupiter combination results in excessive heat that can result in the sudden formation of storm systems.

Taken together, an anomalous weather pattern will develop over the west coast of Western Australia at this time and push toward the east. Increasing temperatures and humidity will likely result in a low pressure system that affects the area. Since Australia is in its cyclone season, one possible scenario is that a tropical cyclone affects the forecast area. If not an actual cyclone, severe storms are likely. Stay tuned to your local weather providers at this time for more details.
