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 presents a picture of the planets as they perform a graceful dance through the heavens. When the planet lines cross each other there is a related weather event that is usually more impacting than the average weather for a designated location.

At the beginning of the winter season, the sun is always found at the Tropic of Capricorn, its maximum position in declination. Trace the sun's line (blue) on the graph from the this position and watch it rise to the equator in March. Note the position of the moon (dark blue line) on the graph; it has achieved its standstill position this year at 29 degrees north and south declination, the maximum high degrees it can possibly achieve during its cycle. Look at this website to further explore this natural phenomenon cycle. http://www.iol.ie/~geniet/eng/moonperb.htm

The spring season begins with parallel lines of Pluto and Mars (black and red) aspecting the Saturn (brown) line. Three harsh planets together should produce a violent storm.

Mars, the red line moves to pass over Neptune (turquoise line) on the 29th of March where a tropical mass converges down under, near New Guinea. Australia may be affected by this combination as well as a weather event in the middle east. The middle east is affected again with Mars (red) crossing over Uranus (orange) near April 30th. Indonesia may have to deal with a seismic event. Eastern South America and Eastern Central Africal are under the wild weather watch also.

Frost warnings for the USA gardeners during the first week of May. The near east (Greece-Turkey) will field bad weather or a tragedy as the Sun (blue) and Mercury (purple) lines converge with Saturn (brown). Around May 21st, the weather will be turbulent in the South Pacific.

Observations, comments and forecasts are welcome.
