Predicting the Weather in Astrology

Spring

One of the most fascinating subjects is the weather. We spend much of our time tuning in the weather station to try to find out what to expect each day. We are also quite fascinated by weather extremes.

The Cardinal Ingress chart can be used to forecast the weather for a particular season when it is cast for the location you live in. Using this chart you can see trends for each particular season.

The Fire signs bring heat, the Water signs bring precipitation, the Airs signs bring wind and the Earth signs bring much activity in the agricultural areas.  Over time Astrologers have seen that the sign on the 4th house and any planets in that house account for ½ the weather; while the 1st house and any planets in the 1st house account for ¼ of the weather, the 7th house and 10th house signs and any planets in those houses account for another ⅛ of the weather and the last ⅛ is accounted for by the aspects from the rulers and planets in the angular houses.

Continuing with this series on how to predict the weather in Astrology I am continuing on with spring 2006. I ran a chart for my area March 20, 2006; 01:26 PM EST. The time of the Spring Equinox.

The 4th house is ruled by Libra which is an air sign. This accounts for ½ the weather this spring. Air signs bring wind, cool, breezy, dry conditions to this area. The planet that rules Libra is Venus and Venus is in the 7th house in the sign of Aquarius another Air sign. This brings lightning, wind with electrical storms and changeable weather.  This accounts for only 1/8 of the weather this spring though so keep this in mind.

Jupiter is in the 4th house in the sign of Scorpio which indicates warm, pleasant breezes.

Looking at all four angles of the chart the signs on the angles are 2 Air and 2 Fire signs this indicates a spring that is windy (Air) and warm/hot (Fire).

The 1st house or Ascendant has the sign of Leo which accounts for ¼ of the weather. This sign brings hot and dry weather. The planet Saturn is conjunct (joining) the Ascendant which brings extremes.

Putting this all together I would say that this area will experience a spring that has extremes in temperature. It will be warmer, dryer and windier than usual, with a few sudden violent electrical storms.
