Full Moon and the US Midwest floods


Aquarius - the Water Pourer



At least 1 million acres (405,000 hectares) of U.S. farmland were flooded after the "bomb cyclone" storm left wide swaths of nine major grain producing states under water this month, satellite data analyzed by Gro Intelligence for Reuters showed. Farms from the Dakotas to Missouri and beyond have been under water for a week or more, possibly impeding planting and damaging soil. The floods, which came just weeks before planting season starts in the Midwest, will likely reduce corn, wheat and soy production this year.

Iowa, the top U.S. corn and No. 2 soy producing state, had the most water, covering 474,271 acres, followed by Missouri with 203,188 acres, according to Gro Intelligence. That was in line with estimates given to Reuters this week by government officials in Iowa and Missouri.  https://goo.gl/bAMY8A




Among the several tools  Astro-Meteorology uses for predicting the  weather are  lunation charts (i.e. charts for the four phases of the moon each month - new, first quarter, full, and last quarter). Here is the chart for the  Equinox  Full Moon drawn for Iowa. As always configurations aspecting the horizon or meridian axes are the ones to focus on. Notice that the Mercury-Neptune[18pi] conjunction in Pisces forms a trine aspect to the upper meridian (MC) [19cn] and North Node [24cn].

Among the stars that form the backdrop to the Mercury-Neptune conjunction are those in the Waters flowing from the Urn of Aquarius – the Water Bearer! Also here is the star Achernar – alpha Eridanus that the Greek poet Aratus referred to as the The River of Many Tears.

 In addition, the star chi Geminorum (Pollux’s cap) [26cn] conjunct the North Node [24cn] was  for the ancient Chinese, Tsi-ChouiThe Accumulated Waters.!! [1]
