The Astrology of the Winter Storm Grayson




Winter Storm Grayson, a very large and powerful winter storm is threatening the East Coast of the United States with heavy snow, intense winds, and record-setting low temperatures. Winter storm watches and warnings have been issued for many coastal regions in north Florida to Maine from Wednesday into late Thursday. This week's storm may end up being worse than your average nor’easter, according to Bloomberg. It could produce a “bomb cyclone,” otherwise known as a bombogenesis, a phenomenon that occurs when a system’s central pressure drops steeply - 24 millibars or more - in 24 hours. If current computer models hold, that’ll start to happen somewhere off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and continue as the storm moves north. Hurricane-force wind warnings have been posted off the coast where ships could encounter winds of 80 miles (130 kilometers) an hour and waves as high as 26 feet on Thursday.  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-01-02/bomb-cyclone-set-detonate-east-coast





The  current Full Moon [11cn] is conjunct the star theta Geminorum, in Castor’s left hand. In ancient Greece, Castor and Pollux were linked to storms at sea [1]. For this area of the stars, Diana  Rosenberg writes:

These stars were prominent in 1530 when floodwaters driven by high winds smashed Holland dikes (400,000 drowned); at a solar eclipse in 1591, the year 4 hurricanes in one month sank more than 100 ships in the Western Hemisphere; in 1898 when steamer City of Portland sailed into a raging blizzard off Boston, foundered and sank; in 1925 when “the most violent tornado in American history” hit Annapolis, MO; at the Full Moon of Oct. 1991 that gave rise to a once-in-a-hundred-years meteorological freak, a converge of 3 weather systems, called “The Perfect Storm,” it whipped seas to hellish levels, sank ships and occasioned heroic air-sea rescues; when a Bombay storm and huge sea surge killed about 100,000 in 1992.

The Full Moon axis forms a T-square with Pluto and the TNP Zeus. With Pluto activated  we can expect the unleashing of the elemental forces of nature in various senses. This can include volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, landslides, cave-ins, tornadoes and hurricanes, tsunamis and floods etc. And since the TNP Zeus is associated with “concentrated energy,” Pluto-Zeus has been literally linked to “bombs” so that when the news states that the “storm could produce a “bomb cyclone,” otherwise known as a bombogenesis” it shouldn’t be a surprise.  

While the Full Moon is planet-wide in scope, it is in places where (a) it falls on the angles [2] or (b) where the stars on the angles also indicate storms that the effect is most significant.

A chart for the Full Moon at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina is shown here. Among events for the stars on the Ascendant [6vi], Diana Rosenberg includes “storms, sometimes of demonic intensity” and gives several examples. On the MC[4ge] are the stars of Hyades also  linked to “storms and torrential rains”.
