DECLINATION OBSERVATIONS for Fall 2009
Transiting Planets in Declination starting Sept. 21st, 2009
FALL PLANETS IN DECLINATION
At the top left of the graph, the red line of Mars has it positioned at 23 degrees north, sliding south but the hesitation in November and December reflects the coming retrograde motion of Mars which is an interesting phenomena in itself. Will Mars action (hot and aggressive) parlay its influence at the 17 and 18 degrees of north latitude? The map location for those degrees is in the area of the Yucatan and Haiti/Dominican Republic. Keep an ear cocked for any news in those areas.
Back to the left side of the graph. Find the blue Sun symbol right next to Mercury - always a turbulent combination whether in declination or longitude. Of course, longitude placement for specific locations determines the 'where' for the turbulence. If you have read the solarmap information, then you understand that the turbulence in the Atlantic will certainly erupt and with the declination influence with Saturn, Mercury and Moon lines in declination late September. The combination is horrendous and we hope the storm stays away from land.
The purple line of Mercury wends its way down south and will cross Saturn and then Uranus, both influences are wet and stormy. In November, the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter cross paths. Jupiter is normally a fair weather aspect, but combined with a Sun and Mercury pairing, the turbulence is increased and is also aligning with a very high declination north Moon.
Wintertime beginning late in December sees this graph highly agitated. Not only is the Jupiter and Neptune combination very close together, there is another Sun, Mercury and this time wet Venus to contend with. The Moon is involved as well as Saturn at the zero or equator position, giving it great strength here. Depending on location, this will be a superstorm dare I say a megastorm? This adjunct to the forecast has to coincide with a particular location. The beauty of declination information in addition to solarmapping indications and the usual basic weather forecasting techniques adds up to an almost no fail forecast.
