Heavy Rain Smashes Records Across America






A historic storm system flooded cars, turned parking lots into lakes and smashed records on New York’s Long Island, where one town got more than a foot of rain in just six hours on Wednesday.

Flash-flood watches were in effect across New England as the dousing chugged east. The National Weather Service described the Long Island flooding as dangerous and life-threatening. http://time.com/3108355/weather-forecast-rain/




In her article “A Basic Guide to Astro Meteorolgy”  Kim Farnell [1] gives the following guidelines:


Lunation charts
The four phases of the moon each month - new, first quarter, full, and last quarter. These give the weekly trends. They cover the moisture picture for the week that the chart is in effect.

Interpreting the charts
The charts are interpreted using the 4th house as the main indicator followed by the first house... About half of the conditions of the forecast are described by the planets in the 4th House, the sign they are in and the aspects to other planets and sensitive points.






Shown here is the chart for the Full Moon of August 10 drawn for Long Island, New York.  The fourth house cusp is occupied by Neptune in Pisces. For this position Kim Farnell adds:

Neptune- cool, wet, fog, mist, erosion in an earth sign, peculiar, freakish weather events, flooding. Neptune's power lies in its ability to lower the barometer and provoke torrential downpours and flooding conditions.

In addition we note that Neptune [6pi41] is conjunct the star Fomalhaut [4pi03] in the constellation of the Southern Fish.

Fomalhaut is an important, first magnitude star, the 17th brightest star in the sky and the most southerly star visible at 50°N. Fomalhaut, (from the Arabic Fum al Hut, 'the Fish's mouth'). The area in which it lies has an heavy emphasis upon constellations with watery imagery, the goat-fish (Capricorn), the whale (Cetus), the water-pourer (Aquarius), the fishes (Pisces), and the dolphin (Delphinus) all located nearby, obviously earmarking this region as one that related to the rainy season of the ancient year, by which many of its stars are associated with floods or troubles at sea. The Southern Fish is usually depicted on star maps at the feet of Aquarius, where it swallows up the water poured from his urn (see image) [2].
