The Great Storm Bird
National Weather Service warns of
"life-threatenting conditions" and "impossible" travel in
Washington, with snow also expected in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. A
blizzard of historic proportions is expected to hit Washington, Baltimore and
other East Coast cities beginning on Friday, with snowfalls of more than two
feet predicted in some areas. The National Weather Service has issued a
blizzard watch for the Washington area, warning that "potential
life-threatening conditions are expected Friday night into Saturday

On Friday,
January 22, a retrograde Mercury conjoins Pluto just three days before its
direct station. A chart for the conjunction at Washington DC has the
Mercury-Pluto-Uranus T-square aligned with the meridian. Recall that the
Uranus-Pluto is about the “sudden unleashing of elemental forces”. On the MC are stars of Corvus, the Raven.
These stars were part of an archaic Chaldean
lunar mansion whose patron god was Im-dugud-khu, “The Great Storm Bird” or
“Storm Bird of the Evil Wind” and
China’s Celestial Chariot T’ien-Tche
