Astrology And Weather

Lately it seems through the news and weather for the past few years, I think it is either a coincidence or, there is a pattern. For example, I have heard a couple years ago about how it was the coldest winter in about 60 years. This winter we had the most snow in almost 60 years. I’ve also heard recently about the worst storm in almost 60 years. Even the amount and intensity of hurricanes through the south of this country seem to have close to a 30 and 60 year pattern according to a chart shown on the news’ weather.

Is it global warming? I hardly see how the coldest winter in almost 60 years is global warming. Personally, it makes me wonder where is global warming? Can these be examples of possibly a natural cycle that occurs on the planet, and it is only becoming apparent recently. After all, haven't we only had accurate records for less than the last 100 years or so?

Also, I have said for over a decade or so now, if we rotate around the sun, and if the Moon’s gravity is enough to affect the oceans on earth and the tides, and Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, just shy of being the size of a small star, is large enough to make the Sun wobble off of a point in our solar system, then why is it so hard to believe the relation of other planets and stars relative to earth can and does effect things on earth like weather. After all, the Earth’s surface is covered with approximately 70% water, and most weather that concerns us is in relation to forms of water and how much, like rain, snow, hail, storms, draughts and floods. We human beings are also approximately 98% water.

In astrology and astronomy it is known that Mercury circles the sun approximately 4 times a year, when in the year varies from year to year. We are using a Gregorian calendar to determine our dates and not an astrological calendar so it may not be accurate. It is also known that it takes Jupiter approximately 12 years to return. In other words, it takes about 12 years, 1-year stay per astrological sign for Jupiter to return to the same spot in the sky. Jupiter our largest planet that forces the Sun to wobble has been known as the planet of opportunity, carpe diem, in astrology. It seizes the Sun from its pivotal point. Saturn is also known as the grounding planet in astrology and even astronomically the two planets are known to possibly stabilize Earth and protect it and inner planets closer to the sun from foreign debris.

It takes Saturn approximately 28-30 years, 2-year stay per astrological sign, known astrologically as Saturn return. In astrology it is known as the grounding planet.

So it takes Jupiter and Saturn approximately 56-60 years on the Gregorian calendar to return to the same spot in the sky. Since, we are now seeing weather patterns that seem to emerge every 56-60 years or so on the Gregorian calendar, can we say weather is an effect of the largest planets in our galaxy relative to Earth? How about other planets, stars and terrestrial things?

I will never forget when one local astrologer, who has a radio segment once a day or so, said she saw a lot of water for the day. It happened to rain all day. Was she right? Some would say no, because it should have rained everywhere; however, if everything is relative and relative to a location, an astrological forecast may only work locally. For example, some places on Earth get a full Lunar eclipse, some areas only get a partial eclipse and yet other areas do not see an eclipse at all. If this is all true then what else is there?
