Even at noon time on this same day, the meteorologists could not determine where Kyle was going to make landfall later in the evening. I think that is not a good enough forecast for those who are published and on the air daily and for what the government spends with our tax money. What do you think?/

You might ask "who can do better?" and it would be a good question. The fact of the matter is that there are long range weather forecasters who provide good information on a regular basis, a feat that is not possible with the so called 'scientific methods'. This entry is a good introduction to what kind of weather can be forecast.

For well over hundreds of years, astrometeorology provided weather information using the complete sky and the system of astrological aspects, planet positions and astronomical understanding. Oh, you might say, I didn't know that! What else might you not know...

It is interesting that the headline from today's newspaper was already published on my website,http://www.weathersage.com/ where you will then click to Seasonal Forecasts then to the Fall 2008 information. Look for the week of September 22-28th to find the following forecast:

Monday, September 22 - 28, 2008 Quarter Moon

Crash and bang, the fall season opens with moderate temperatures and fair weather that may change to a storm watch. The humidity builds then heavy rain and very windy conditions may be out to sea but still affecting our coast. A hurricane watch is not out of the question.

Not only is the storm (Kyle) in my local forecast, the storm was identified in my 2008 Hurricane Report which states that there would be no hurricane in Florida this week, one of the most potent weeks in the six month season, but both the coastal storm that arrived here in RI yesterday, Sept. 26 and tropical storm Kyle were described in the report. Let me add that the 2008 Hurricane Report was written last May, 2008. Now that's long range weather forecasting!

The individual lessons were completed, the charts and images checked and rechecked and the CDs became a reality thanks to many who supported this effort.

The CDs are now being sold through a retailer, www.alabe.com (Astrolabe, Inc.) after being launched at the greatest conference ever, UAC, in Denver, CO, May 2008.

If you would like to see a list of the lessons, I have them on a page at www.weathersage.com, with a link to Astrolabe.

The CDs are sold in a DVD type album and can be purchased singly or in a set for a reduced price. Part 2 is the advanced lessons for those weather people who know the basic lessons of long range forecasting. I've included all the techniques that I use to achieve a seasonal report and also the information on how to develop a one-day forecast.

Some of the other details in the course are the individual lessons. Each lesson section is no longer than 8 minutes long, but one topic may have 3 parts to it. All the charts and lists are viewed while listening to the audio on your computer and each one can be printed as well.

The CD's were a hit at the conference bookstore, Astrology Et Al out of Seattle Washington. Because weather is a specialty course, everyone was surprised at the amount that was sold.

Perhaps because I have had a web presence since the year 2000 and also have an email list (astroweather@topica.com) and that I have extensively advertised the 6 month Hurricane Report, more astrologers have become aware of the value of long range weather forecasting.

Another reason may be from giving my weather talk at the previous UAC conference in Florida in 2002 and all the other speaking engagements here and in Europe. It has been a wonderful experience to see how well weather forecasting has progressed over the years and I am very grateful to those who also work with weather and those who are thinking of including the study to their list of achievements.

Part one of the weather course is easy enough to understand and work with even while listening to the CD. I've had enough feedback that lets me know that beginners are having so much success.

The first talk at the UAC conference was on the basic course information. The class was full and was I ever surprised at how many knew me from the weather list and many places where I've lectured. I must say that I was feeling very fulfilled at the success of the study and for my diligence in keeping with it all these years. Thank you to all who may be reading.

If you would like to join the weather list, just drop me an email and I will subscribe you. Best wishes, Carolyn

Last year, 2007, the presentation began with calling themselves the 'Hurricane Authorities'. Well-deserved criticism affected the show so much that this year they had to explain what they 'really' meant, that they were not saying that every storm that Dr. Gray and his team comes up with was a sure thing but that the list of storms was only an indication of what the season may bring forth.

This season, their new mantra is 'don't be scared, be prepared', a much more realistic approach to community service.

From my point of view, as an astrometeorologist, I am retaining the title that I give to my work and the work of my colleagues that is: 'Home of the Long Range Hurricane Authorities'. As a group, several of us have had success in forecasting hurricanes, some have been pinpointed to the location - in advance of the actual storm.

Last season I prepared a multi page hurricane report that can be seen, with the results, at the website.

This year, many wrote to me looking for another hurricane report. I had started to develop the 2008 forecast but had to attend a major conference in Denver, CO to deliver two lectures on Long Range Forecasting and to launch my latest release of the Long Range Weather Forecasting Course on multi-media CDs. More about that later.

The 2008 2nd annual hurricane report was finished and ready to mail in the first week of June. I found that about 20 storms would form in the six month period. The report identifies where the storms should develop in the areas of the African coast (Cape Verde Islands area), the Atlantic, Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. If you would like to be prepared with advance knowledge of which weeks are the most potent, you may find the details at the website at the related link.

Since the first of the year, I've been working on a project that is unique and it is based on my experience in long range weather forecasting. As you might already know, I offer the only original long range weather forecasting course. Many students took the course when it was on-line back in 1998 (those pioneering days of the internet) then others purchased the course materials since 2003. These are students from every continent around the world.

Now - the weather course is soon to be available on two multi-media CDs. I hope to have sales for each CD individually since many students around the globe may not need the first CD which is The Basics. The second CD contains instruction Beyond the Basics that I have learned and taught over 15 years in weather. Topics include steps to creating a full season forecast and the prize - how to develop a one day forecast. The course is a major offering for the 21st century. With many burgeoning astrometeorologists, perhaps the other forecasters we see on TV every day might get the message that improved weather forecasting is available.]]> http://weathersage.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080324-002635 2008-03-24T00:00:00Z 2008-03-24T00:00:00Z http://www.uacastrology.com/

On the speakers page, look up my name, Carolyn Egan, and you will see that I will talk on weather forecasting on Friday afternoon. Let me know if you are going to the conference. Even if you are not planning to attend (though I promise you will be drooling if you read the list of topics), you can buy the cds of the two talks or the cd of the original course that will be for sale at that time.

The original course is designed to be KISS (keep it simple s.....) but you can always check out the reading list on the weather website and hack away. If you want to be able to predict, then learning weather is the way to get your foundation. Nothing else is more immediate and impacting than weather.]]> http://weathersage.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080115-115303 2008-01-15T00:00:00Z 2008-01-15T00:00:00Z threatened by a hurricane or a firestorm.

When I lectured on long range weather forecasting in San Diego a few years ago, the event that I used as an example was the previous year's firestorm in that area. The main predictor in the few charts used in weather forecasting is Saturn, not Mars as many would think.

Here in the northeast, Saturn will bring a nor'easter and in Florida in 2005, the year of record setting storm totals, Saturn was again a main indicator.

In California, the storms are firestorms or earthquakes. The first indication of bad weather for California this fall 2007 season was when I saw Mercury angular along the west coast. Exploring
further, I was eventually led to a forecast that accurately describes the serious environmental damage happening right now.

I have a friend who lives in San Diego and I wrote him to wish him good luck, hoping he would escape the harsh effects the fire could deliver. My friend said he had packed important things and
could be ready to leave when and if needed. I haven't heard from him in two days but what all thishas come down to is that one's personal birth chart can give you the best information about your home,
real estate, or where you live. Therefore, when warned, look to your own chart and be prepared.

Long range weather forecasting can provide some information but
as we have seen, some houses are engulfed and others are skirted by these fires. How is one to know for sure. Maybe that is not totally possible but when there are many pointers in one's chart to transformation,moving, or a lifestyle change, enough pointers that add up to a major event in the life, then take heed and prepare.

My friend had such pointers in his chart. I hope he is safe.

In California, the fall season is when the Santa Ana winds prevail but not every year is as horrible as this season.

I'm thinking of all my friends and colleagues in California and wishing you well and blessed protection in this hellish situation. ]]> http://weathersage.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry071024-054047 2007-10-24T00:00:00Z 2007-10-24T00:00:00Z
"California will be dealing with the wind this season. Offshore winds
will be potent and the Santa Ana season could be very problematic.
There is the potential for strong storms in the state. For Southern
California, in October, cooler than normal and blustery conditions
could provide the backdrop for serious environmental damage."

How does an Astrometeorologist forecast this kind of weather using the basic mundane charts? To begin, at the website, there is a solar map that depicts the planets located on the angles across the USA. It is easy to see that Mercury, the windy planet is situated just offshore of the west coast.

The Astromet follows the Mercury indications by casting charts for Mercury as it enters new signs through the season. If the chart is strong for intense wind velocity, then the lunation charts are viewed to see when the winds may occur. The wind and lunation charts are location based for analysis.

For the lunation chart, two are strong indicators of the firestorm. The new Moon of October 11th in Los Angeles has Saturn at the 4th house cusp. Most astrologers will say that Mars is the planet of fire and heat and in most cases this is true. However, when the weather is normally warm to hot and dry, the typical storm we think of has wind, rain and colder temperatures. But, in California, Saturn is depicting the firestorm because their climate does not include the typical storm.

At my lecture in San Diego, CA, May 2004, the Saturn influence in fire charts was discussed and understood as the indicator for the severe fires this area experienced during the previous Santa Ana season in 2003. Therefore, when viewing the charts for California, the Saturn is very important to use for forecasting stormy weather. Combine that with the Mercury in the seasonal ingress chart and knowing the climate - Santa Ana Wind season, and you have the potential for an accurate long range forecast.

The quarter Moon chart of October 19th is first a crisis type of lunation where the Sun and Moon are square to each other - events are usually intensified at this time. Next, for the Los Angeles area and region, the windy planet Mercury is found at one of the strongest weather forecasting locations on a chart - the fourth house cusp area. The slow moving retrograde Mercury in this chart is in exact sextile to Saturn.

The National Weather Service frequently states that LONG RANGE WEATHER FORECASTING is not possible. My forecast for the Fall 2007 weather was developed well in advance of the season, as are all the forecasts on the weather website.

The impact of 'extreme' is felt by everyone, even those who would not admit to it. The explosion of communication capabilities for infants to those who are at the other end of the life spectrum affect our daily lives in one way or another. There are weather extremes, stock market extremes, housing extremes, population extremes and food issues extremes just to name a few. 'Extreme' weather has been getting a lot of attention for the global warming alarmists and some of the information looks convincing, however, I think the next few years will find the alarmists changing their tune.
Once colder temperatures take over, global warming will be old news and a new song will be sung. What could be strong enough to cause the turnaround? There are several factors moving into place beginning now. Another factor moves into place in late December and a third factor enters the picture in January 2008. By February 8 out of 10 weather factors will be in place to start the new tune.
It won’t be cold everywhere and the variations of temperature from cold to warm will happen also, just as the shifts to warm happened some years ago.
The extremes of media hype will have to calm down when government steps in to regulate one or more forms of our extreme communication abilities. Which one will it be? Free speech is guaranteed in the Constitution but will the press go too far one day soon? Will the wide open spaces of the internet suddenly get fenced in? Could cell phones become a thing of the past? What could possibly replace a cell phone? Ugly thought, I know. Any of this is possible with the upcoming new factors sliding into place.

Think of the word global. Do you know how much global history of warming is available? Not very much. Global warming issues are new and exciting to talk about. Media infusion and confusion is a fairly new phenomenon, designed to make money and to propagandize whatever the bucks will buy - fame, prestige, new grant money and a number of other incentives.

John Naisbitt, a truly international author of books such as Mega Trends and Mind Set offers sane and realistic advice on global warming. It is the simple statement he wrote that has me admiring the way his mind works. He wrote on page 27 of Mind Set "Read a significant number of the 963 books on global warming listed on Amazon.com and, to keep a balance, read from the 1,054 books (July 2006) on global cooling and the coming ice age?".

Naisbitt's advice is very good. I have read a few of the newer books on the subject and I agree with John that there is no absolute consensus, no hard facts to base the global warming issues on. It is a debate that no doubt will continue because it can be made into a panic situation and panic sells and sells and sells.
Naisbitt also concludes on page 31 that "It is in the nature of human beings to bend information in the direction of desired conclusions."

I can recommend another book that gives a good rational to global warming and climate change. It is Why Geography Matters: Three Challenges Facing America: Climate Change, the Rise of China, and Global Terrorism by Harm de Blij (Paperback - Feb 12, 2007)

Another is The Winds of Change: Climate, Weather, and the Destruction of Civilizations by Eugene Linden (Hardcover - Feb 7, 2006).

A thought comes to my mind where global warming issues have accelerated over the past 10-12 years. The planet Pluto has been in the zodiac sign of Sagittarius since 1995. Pluto represents the global consciousness, extremes and threats, rather than any weather value in astrometeorology, but the weather value for the zodiac sign Sagittarius is warm and dry.

In the next few years, Pluto transitions and moves into the zodiac sign of Capricorn. The weather value for Capricorn is cold and dry. It won't be long before the global warming could change into global cooling.

Keep in mind that the proponents of global warming are members of the same group which includes meteorologists - the same meteorologists who cannot develop a long range weather forecast. ]]> http://weathersage.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry070306-140414 2007-03-06T00:00:00Z 2007-03-06T00:00:00Z
Post: I think that we should note also that the Moon in declination has been climbing to maximum degrees of 28+ in 2006. For the next 7 years, the maximum degrees will be reduced to 18+ degrees by the end of the 7 years.
This cycle has not been studied and compared with actual weather events by a number of researchers. In my vision for the future of astrometeorology, this kind of study would be only one in a number of other research studies. There is so much to be done in this area that it boggles my mind. We need a national center for the study of long range forecasting, one that includes the astromet!
