GRAPH OBSERVATIONS for WINTER 2005
An extensive article has already been written for the exceptional group of four planets standing together for January and February 2006. The effects on the winter weather will be remarkable. The article is located on the main page 'First Look at Winter'. Analyzing the graph as a whole revolves around the parallel and the special dates when the Mars and Saturn lines coincide, then the crossing of the Sun and Mercury lines. Each of those dates will bring serious weather to various location around the world. The information that I can provide is found in my local forecast for New England and also in the National Highlights. Studying the declination positions along with the horoscope chart and observing the solarmap graphic information adds interesting details to the long range forecast. The declination planet lines perform a 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. At the beginning of the winter season, the Sun is always found at the Tropic of Capricorn. Trace the Sun's line (blue) on the graph from the lowest position at the bottom left of the graph. Trace the blue line up through the end of the graph where the Sun will be at the spring position on the equator. Note the position of the Moon on the graph as it climbs higher each season and is now achieving almost 29 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 is a url to further explore this natural phenomenon cycle. http://www.iol.ie/~geniet/eng/moonperb.htm
