DECLINATION OBSERVATIONS for Fall 2007
Transiting Planets in Declination from September 23, 2007 - December 21, 2007
DECLINATION - Measuring and following the position of the planets and Moon by degrees north or south of the equator for a three month period.
Studying the declination positions along with the horoscope chart and observing the solarmapping graphic information adds interesting details to the seasonal long range forecast. The lines on the graph present a picture of the planets as they perform a graceful dance through the heavens in relation to earth. When the planet lines cross there is a related weather event that is usually more impacting than the average weather for a designated location.
At the beginning of the fall season, the sun is always found at the equator. Trace the sun's line (blue) on the graph from the zero degrees position and watch it slowly decline to our wonderful neighbors in the southern hemisphere, warming them and our cooling proceeds. Note the position of the moon (dark blue line) on the graph; it has achieved its standstill position at 29 degrees north and south declination, the maximum high degrees it can possibly achieve during its cycle and it is currently beginning to move away from the standstill position. Here is a website to further explore this natural phenomenon cycle. http://www.iol.ie/~geniet/eng/moonperb.htm
The fall season begins with Mars, the 'hot' planet at 23 degrees of north declination. Mars will continue to climb throughout the season bringing warm temperatures and dry conditions during this extreme weather season. Saturn, (brown) is now closer to the equator and interacts with Mercury, purple) this season which could lead to severe wind storms and more drought. Venus, (green) meanders along, aligning with Uranus (orange) in late November. In late fall, this could turn into an early cold, snowy event if there are more indications in various locations. As an aside - Antartica could be in the news at this time. With the Sun at the equator, its travel to southern declination will have contact with the Moon and Uranus in early October. High pressure at the quarter Moon meets up with mixed fronts to produce stormy weather. Sun with Mercury October 24th brings trouble with many locations a disturbed atmosphere. Later in the season, the Sun lines up with Jupiter for several weeks. Warmer than normal temperatures will make headlines. In declination relationship, Sun and Jupiter are not close to Pluto except when examined by the longitude charts. If Pluto were close in declination and in longitude, then we probably would have a doubly extreme warming. All descriptions of weather conditions are backup information for particular locations around the world. The longitude chart produces the basic forecast for a lunar phase and the declination information serves to add more detail.Observations, comments and forecasts are welcome.
