Astrology of Hurricane Sally


To the magus, there exists no accidental happening…everything is established solidly by that law which the wise man discerns in happenings that appear accidental to the profane. The curve observed in the flight of birds, the barking of a dog, the shape of a cloud, are occult manifestations of that omnipresent, coordinator, the source of unity and harmony - Karl  Seligmann



Hurricane Sally continues to slowly churn as it nears the Gulf Coast Tuesday, moving west-northwest at two mph, with maximum sustained winds are 85 mph, down from 100 mph on Monday evening. Sally's center is positioned near the coast of southeastern Louisiana on Tuesday, about 75 miles east-southeast of the mouth of the Mississippi River. NHC expects the storm to hook right of New Orleans and make landfall late Tuesday or early Wednesday near the Mississippi-Alabama state line. However, the exact track remains uncertain.

Weather prediction by astro-meteorology is a highly refined area of sidereal science. Classical horoscopic weather prediction is based on forecasts of the influences of the planets in solstice or equinox horoscopes. The most important influence on the weather comes from the 4th house cusp and planets therein, and their aspects.



Here is the chart for the Sun’s entry into Libra (autumn equinox) drawn for New Orleans, and applicable for most areas mentioned in the news. Notice the conjunction of Saturn-Pluto in the 4th house forming a T-square with Mercury on the Ascendant and Mars on the Descendant.

About the stars on the 4th cusp , Diana Rosenberg writes:

These stars complete the T-square of storm and shipwreck stars Baten Kaitos, Foramen and Castor/Pollux, making a Grand Cross dangerous to travelers: they were transited in September 1857 as SS Central America out of Havana, with 500 passengers and 21 tons of California gold sank in a hurricane off Wilmington, NC; in 1935 when a Category 5 hurricane, “the most intense and tight knit ever to strike Florida,” hit the Florida Keys on Labor Day, winds were estimated at 150 – 200 mph; in 1945 when refugee ship Wilhelm Gustloff sailed in a winter storm was torpedoed and sank; in 1981 when Tornado Alley was hit by several twisters starting at Wichita,KS ; 3 days later a huge cyclone with 145 mph winds hit Bangladesh; in 1982 at the crash in a blizzard of an Air Florida 737 into the icy Potomac; at both the Aries Ingress and Lunar Eclipse of June 1993 preceding a Great Mississippi flood as well as floods in China and Bangladesh; in 1994 when a tornado hit Piedmont, AL and 29 days later when a tornado hit Lancaster,TX and several others.

At this blogsite, I have often emphasized that the worldview underlying astrology sees all of reality as symbolic in nature. The heavenly bodies are simply threads within a great tapestry of affinities and correspondences. News that might appear to be unconnected actually  co-occur because they belong together at a higher, unmanifest level. 

In the previous post we connected the fires and violence in Oregon with the ongoing Mars-Saturn-Pluto square. For Ebertin this energy is “harmful giving rise to the rage or fury of destruction”. Going further, Richard Tarnas adds that Pluto unleashes the fury of nature.

Mars’ retrograde cycle square to the ongoing Saturn-Pluto conjunction is the big news for the rest of this year. Its effect is felt strongly in places where it is brought to the angles in relevant mundane charts e.g. those of ingresses, lunations, planetary stations etc.

In Oregon, it was the Mars station chart and here it is the Libra Ingress chart that brings the same planetary energies to the angles. One manifesting in the populace and the other in nature. As within, so without.
