The First Quarter Moon chart (January 25, 2026, 23:47:06 EST / approximately 04:47 UTC on January 26, for New York City at 40°42'51"N 74°00'23"W) aligns strikingly with the peak meteorological intensity of Winter Storm Fern (the major January 2026 North American winter storm) along the US East Coast.This storm transitioned into a classic nor'easter phase on January 25, 2026, delivering heavy snow, sleet, ice accumulations, high winds, and extreme cold to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. Impacts were widespread but most intense and disruptive in the Northeast corridor, particularly around New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut, and into southern New England.Key astrological-meteorological correlations based on traditional astro-meteorology principles (e.g., as outlined by Kim Farnell and similar sources emphasizing the 4th house/IC for weather/ground-level conditions):The chart's IC (Imum Coeli) at approximately 1° Aquarius, with the Sun at 6° Aquarius conjunct Mars at 2° Aquarius and Pluto at 3° Aquarius right on or very near the IC, places intense, transformative, and potentially destructive energy at the foundation of the chart—the 4th house/IC axis, which is the primary indicator for terrestrial weather, land conditions, and atmospheric events in mundane astro-meteorology.
This Aquarius stellium (Sun-Mars-Pluto) on the IC squares the Moon at 6° Taurus (in the 7th or near the Descendant), creating a tense T-square dynamic. Fixed signs (Aquarius-Taurus) emphasize persistence and buildup, while the square indicates conflict/friction—often manifesting as blocked or explosive weather patterns.
Aquarius is an air sign associated with sudden, erratic, cold, and stormy conditions (winds, lightning, but in winter contexts, frigid blasts and unusual atmospheric disturbances). Mars-Pluto conjunctions classically signify extreme or "demonic" force , often linked to violent or overwhelming natural events when tied to weather houses. Here, on the IC, it correlates to ground-level chaos: heavy precipitation, ice (Plutonian "underground" freezing), and forceful winds.
Diana Rosenberg's fixed star/constellation research (in Secrets of the Ancient Skies) associates degrees around 6° Aquarius with historical events involving snow and ice storms, reinforcing this as a signature for severe winter weather when activated.
The storm's peak intensity over the East Coast—marked by heaviest snowfall rates, accumulating totals (e.g., 9-13+ inches in NYC metro areas like Bronx/Fordham ~13.5", Central Park ~10-11", nearby CT/NJ up to 13"), ice accretion, power outages (over 1 million reported), and wind gusts—occurred primarily on January 25, 2026, during the day into evening local time (roughly 12:00–00:00 UTC January 26 / afternoon to midnight EST January 25)
The location proxy (NYC coordinates) matches perfectly, making it an ideal radix for the storm's "birth" or peak manifestation in astrological terms. The chart captures the "demonic intensity" via Mars-Pluto on the IC, squared by the Moon, symbolizing the overwhelming, persistent cold/snow/ice assault on the region.
