DECLINATION OBSERVATIONS for SUMMER 2005
Transiting Planets in Declination from June 21 to September 23, 2005 DECLINATION - Measuring the planets and Moon by degrees north or south of the equator. GRAPH OBSERVATIONS for SUMMER 2005 Studying the declination positions along with the horoscope chart and the solarmap graphic results adds interesting details to the forecast. The declination lines have their own graceful dance through the heavens and when the planet lines cross there is a related weather event that is usually more impacting than the average weather in a location; lets check it out. At the beginning of the summer season, the Sun is always found at the north Tropic of Cancer, preparing to herald the growing season. Trace the Sun's line (blue) on the graph from 23.5 degrees on June 21, 2005, the first official day of summer for several days where the position at north reflects the Solstice - the Sun standing still. The Sun line then descends gradually over the season until it reaches zero degrees on the equator when the fall season begins. Note the position of the Moon on the graph as it climbs higher each season and is now 28 and 1/2 degrees north and south declination, almost to the maximum n/s positions it can achieve during its cycle. The official standstill of the Moon in declination is achieved in 2006. Here are a few urls to further explore this natural phenomenon cycle. http://www.iol.ie/~geniet/eng/moonperb.htm and http://www.seamanship.co.uk/deck/navigator/TideWiz/tides_and_the_moon.htmAstrologers can enjoy further information by reading an article on the Stations of the Moon by Ken Gillman. Ken can be reached at his website http://www.considerations-mag.com/index.html The article was also printed in the NCGR Geocosmic Magazine, Spring 1998. The magazine back issue can be purchased at this site http://www.geocosmic.org/articles/ Another point of interest in the summer graph is the position of Mars (red line). Mars, a planet that indicates heat and aggressive weather systems, is found on the equator June 21st and continues to climb into the northern hemisphere all season long where we will feel more of its impact. When the Moon is closest to earth each month, A MOON PERIGEE PERIOD occurs. In addition, If the Moon is new or full at the same time as a Moon perigee, and if the Moon is at a high declination degree, it all results in stormy weather, stronger winds and tidal extremes because of the stronger gravitational pull the Moon has on the earth. These roughly 3-day periods are called 'SuperMoons'. If the local chart indications are for stormy weather, a perigee period adds strength and intensity to the forecast. Abnormally high and low tides occur during this period all over the globe and weather anomalies are in the news. There are two supermoons for summer - July 21 and August 19.
