December 1st
-3rd
:
Aspects to Uranus from the Sun, Mercury, and Mars dominate this
period. The Sun trine Uranus
brings cool and fair weather. The ses-square from Mercury to
Uranus is a bit more unsettling,
and the parallel from Mars to Uranus is known for windy
conditions. The key charts place these
aspects over central and eastern Qld. These charts are the Solar
Ingress, New Moon, and the
current Lunar and Solar Eclipses. An older eclipse (July 12,
2010) is triggered by the conjunction
of Jupiter. This sets up Mars parallel Uranus on the Midheaven
of central Qld. The Suns trine to
Uranus brings high pressure but these other aspects show windy
conditions.
December 4th
-6th
:
From the 2nd
of December through the 5th
, the Moon is transiting the South Tropic. In other
words, the Moon is at its furthest southern declination. While
it does this, it makes a prolonged
parallel to Mercury that lasts this whole time. By the 5th
, the Moon, as seen from the Solar
Ingress, then conjoins Pluto on the IC over eastern Qld and then
conjoins the Brisbane Ic. By the
7th
, Mercury is parallel Pluto. Now, while the Moon doesnt actually
make it far enough south to
also parallel Pluto, I think the Moon might somehow trigger the
Mercury-Pluto parallel because
it comes to less than a degree away from the parallel of Pluto.
This seems to be an important
planetary set up because these otherwise quick aspects of the
Moon to Mercury and possibly
Pluto are now drawn out for a longer time giving them more
power. Mercury is associated withhigh pressure and colder or cooler
air masses. Pluto is a bit more mysterious, but Ive always
associated it for the most part with cool and cold conditions.
So Im thinking that is what we
should see during this period. If enough moisture is available,
sometimes these cold air masses
can trigger precipitation.
December 7th
-9th
:
The aspects now are Mercury parallel Pluto, Mercury square
Neptune, and Mercury ses-square
Jupiter. Some of the key charts, such as the Solar Ingress and
the current Lunar and Solar
Eclipse charts, place Pluto and Jupiter over the forecast area.
Mercury shows up angular in the
Last Quarter chart. The Lunar aspects of Moon square Saturn on
the 7
th
, Moon conjunctNeptune on the 8
th, and Moon square Mercury on the 9
thall happen over the forecast area. So
besides the cooler conditions shown by Mercury parallel Pluto,
these other aspects may give us
the chance of some precipitation.
December 10th
-12th
:
Some of the main activity now for Brisbane takes place in the
Full Moon chart. The transit Sun
passes over the Brisbane Ic as it parallels Venus. This is known
to increase temperatures and

moisture. The Sun will also square the radical position of Mars
in the Full Moon chart. This is a
disruptive influence that can increase heat and bring storm
conditions. By the 12th
the transit
Moon in the Solar Ingress chart opposes the ascendant focusing
the weather pattern over
Brisbane.
Further west over central Qld, the Solar Ingress chart shows the
Mercury trine Uranus aspect of
the 11th
affecting central Qld where Uranus is on the descendant. This
aspect brings highpressure. The First Quarter Moon, which is the
current lunation, brings the same set up.
December 13th
-15th
:
The main aspect now is Jupiters trine to Saturn. The New Moon
chart has Saturn on the Mc
over eastern Qld. This is a high pressure aspect. My guess is
that this aspect will have a stronger
influence than the quincunx Mars makes to Neptune, and the
semi-square Mars makes to
Saturn. Mars is on the ascendant in the First Quarter chart
which is the current lunation. Mars
and Neptune would increase temperatures and humidity, and
Mars-Saturn would trigger some
storminess. Im thinking that the Jupiter-Saturn trine will carry
the day and suppress the other
aspects, but we can say that there might at least be a chance
for the Mars aspects to eventuate.
December 16th
-21st
:
The Sun is parallel Mercury on the 16th
, and Mercury will quincunx Jupiter on the 17th
. The Sun
and Mercury tend toward high pressure and sometimes windy
conditions. The quincunx
between Mercury and Jupiter is benign bringing fair conditions.
We find Mercury on the IC over
eastern Qld as it makes these aspects.
The next major e vent is the direct station of Uranus on the
18th
as well as Jupiters semi-square
to Neptune. I like to give 4 days or so for these stations of
different planets to kick in. Uranus in
this sense signifies a lower range of temperatures and windy
conditions. The Solar Ingress
places Uranus descendant over western Qld. On the day of its
station, the Moon squares
Uranus and by the 19thconjoins the Brisbane Mc. This should
bring the aforementionedweather over the Brisbane area. I would
also allow a few days after this as a window when the
influence of Uranus will continue.
December 22nd
-24th
:
Venus is parallel Pluto on the 22nd
and also makes its retrograde station. The chart for Venus
Rx
station places Venus on the ascendant through western and
central Qld. The stations of Venus
increase temperatures and humidity with a chance of downfall
followed by cooler
temperatures afterwards. For now I consider Pluto to have a
cooling effect. In either case Venus
still represents moisture so we should precipitation followed by
cooling afterwards.
December 25th
-27th
:
During this period, the Sun and Mercury will sextile Neptune
(25th
-26th
) and semi-square Saturn
(26th
-27th
). Mars will also oppose Uranus on the 25th
. I think the key chart for these aspects of
the Sun and Mercury is the Last Quarter Moon. At the time of
this lunation, the Sun is exactly
over Brisbane as it makes its semi-square to Saturn. Mercury
then follow suit. This should bring
stormy conditions to the forecast area.

3/3
The Mars-Uranus opposition happens just before this lunation,
but the Moon moves in and
conjoins and opposes Mars-Uranus on the 26th
triggering them as they straddle the Asc/Dsc of
the Last Quarter chart over Brisbane. This argues stronger
storms than those promised by the
semi-squares of the Sun and Mercury to Saturn.
Unrelated to the forecast area, the Mars-Uranus opposition chart
might be worth keeping an
eye on for at the time of opposition a number of interesting
parans, or crossings, take place.The Mars Ic/Uranus Mc falls along
145 east longitude through central Qld. Mercury Dsc and the
Sun DSC cross the Mars-Uranus Mc/Ic line in the Coral Sea at 145
east/14 south, and 145 east/9
south. This may be an area worth watching at this time.
December 29th
-31st
:
This last period is an active one with the Suns conjunction to
Mercury and square to Uranus,
Mercurys square to Uranus and its conjunction to Pluto, and the
square of Mars to Pluto. In the
current lunation (Last Quarter) all of these aspects take place
offshore with a lot of crossings in
the South Pacific Ocean between Australia and the Solomon
Islands. This may be related to the
previous Mars-Uranus comment above.
As far as the forecast area goes, the Full Moon, First Quarter,
and current Lunar Eclipse charts
place the Sun-Mercury conjunction over Brisbane. This aspect
usually coincides with high
pressure or increased winds. The same maps show the Sun and
Mercury over Brisbane when
they square Uranus, and in the Solar Ingress chart the Moon is
conjoining the ascendant. This
brings the windy and stormy conditions shown by
Sun-Mercury-Uranus from central and
eastern Qld over Brisbane. Then as Mercury and Mars make their
aspects to Pluto, they have
moved offshore.
