July 19-22, 2020 Long-range Weather Forecast Western U.S.

In previous posts such as Testing Astrometeorology Part 1 and Testing Astrometeorology Part 2, I gave various examples of the effects of the Sun-Saturn opposition on weather patterns. One of the most important key charts used in astrometeorology is the Cardinal Solar Ingress which is based on the Sun's ingress into Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn. These ingresses mark the astronomical beginnings of spring, summer, autumn, and winter respectively. Those were the charts used in the previously mentioned posts, and the weather patterns faithfully materialized over the areas where the Sun-Saturn opposition were localized in those charts.

Another Sun-Saturn opposition will take place on July 20, 2020. The Cardinal Solar Ingress of June 2020 will place Saturn over the western U.S. at longitude 114 west. This runs through the Intermountain West traversing the states of Idaho, Nevada, Utah, California, and Arizona. Not only will the Sun oppose Saturn but this opposition will take place at the time of the New Moon. This means that both the Sun and Moon will oppose Saturn adding an extra wallop. The astro-locality map below shows the setup.




The Sun-Saturn oppositions are often associated with stormy periods that deliver rain, hail, snow etc. depending on the season. Since this one takes place over the western U.S. during the summer season which is not typically the rainy season there, other possible weather reactions might include an increase in Santa Ana winds which blow through the mountain passes of southern California or a front passing through the region that triggers showers and thunderstorms.
