Long-range Weather Forecast
Southeast Queensland and Brisbane, Australia

Dear
Here is the forecast that I came up with for Brisbane and
South-eastern Queensland for October
2013. My method is a bit different in that I take into account
more charts when formulating my
forecast. For example, Ill use the Solar Ingress chart for the
season, the Lunar Phase charts,
Solar and Lunar Eclipses, Retrograde and Direct Motion charts,
charts for Important Aspects etc.
A new astro-meteorological method used starting this month.
Allow 24 hour error.
October 2013
Oct 1-2
The main aspects now are the Sun square Pluto, and Mercury trine
Neptune. Most of the
charts, such as the Solar Ingress, the chart for the Sun-Pluto
square, the current Lunar Eclipse,
and the November 14, 2012 Solar Eclipse (triggered now by Mars)
all place the Sun and Pluto
over central or eastern Queensland. The New Moon and Last
Quarter charts place the Mercury-
Neptune trine over the area, but it seems the others outweigh
this. The chart for the lunar
aspect of Moon square Venus also places Venus over the eastern
Queensland area, so it looks
like an unsettled or stormy period for the forecast area.
Oct 3-6
The Sun opposes Uranus and semi-squares Venus. Uranus also gets
the ses-square of Venus and
the quincunx of Saturn. Mars will also ses-square Pluto. All
these aspects can bring stormconditions except the quincunx between
Saturn and Uranus. But both of these planets
represent cold. So it appears we have a cold front triggering
storms or a low pressure area. The
charts that place these planets over the forecast area are: the
Solar Ingress, the current Solar
and Lunar Eclipses, and the Full Moon chart. The transit Moon
squares the Brisbane Midheaven
and conjoins the Brisbane Ascendant in the Solar Ingress, which
should localize the weather
pattern over Brisbane. Another important influence is found in
the New Moon chart. Transit
Mercury will square the radical position of Mars in this chart.
Mars was on the Ic over eastern
Queensland. This usually adds windy conditions to any forecast.
The chart for the Suns
opposition to Uranus places them on the Midheaven/Ic over
central Queensland. A chart for
the Moons square to Pluto puts Pluto on the Ic about 3 degrees
off the coast. Mercury alsoconjoins radical Saturn Ic over eastern
Queensland in the First Quarter Moon chart.
Oct 7-10
This period starts off with a sextile from Mercury to Pluto on
the 7th
. This in and of itself is a fair
weather aspect. The Solar Ingress shows Pluto over central
Queensland as does the solar
eclipse chart. The Last Quarter chart, New Moon, and Lunar
Eclipse place Pluto over eastern
Queensland or off shore. Im keeping my eye, however, on the Full
Moon chart that placed a

Venus-Saturn conjunction on the descendant over eastern
Queensland. Mercury will now
conjoin both of these. This argues cold and moisture affecting
the area in the form of a cold
front or low pressure system bringing precipitation. The Moons
conjunction to Saturn sets
them up on the Midheaven just off shore.
On the 8th
, we have the ses-square of Mars to Uranus, and the quincunx of
Mercury to Uranus.
This adds unsettled and colder conditions. The Solar Ingress
places Uranus over centralQueensland, while the First Quarter and
Lunar Eclipse places Uranus over eastern Queensland.
Mercury conjoins radical Saturn Midheaven over Brisbane in the
Last Quarter chart.
On the 9th
and 10th
, we have Mercurys conjunction to Saturn, which is known for
increasing
cloudiness, low pressure, and rain. We see this operating over
the forecast area in the Full
Moon, First Quarter, and Last Quarter charts. Finally, we have
Mercury opposing the radical
degree of the Moon in the Solar Ingress which was on the
descendant over eastern
Queensland. So except for that Mercury-Pluto sextile on the
7th
, there seems to be many
indications of stormy weather.
Oct 11-13
This period features the Sun square Jupiter, but theres more
than meets the eye with this with
this aspect. The square falls right in hard aspect to the Solar
Eclipse degree of July 12, 2010. In
the chart for the solar eclipse, as the Sun makes its square to
Jupiter and to the Solar Eclipse
degree, it is on the Ic over Brisbane. The square between the
Sun and Jupiter isnt usually too
disruptive. It can generate some thunderstorms and breezy
conditions. There is another
indication that heightens the breezy and stormy indications. In
the Full Moon chart, transit
Mercury will square the radical position of Mars. Mercury will
be on the descendant over
Brisbane while radical Mars was on the Ic over eastern
Queensland.
Oct 14-17
On the 14th, the transit Sun will conjoin the radical position
of Mercury in the Solar Ingresschart. Mercury appeared on the
ascendant just west of Brisbane. Hard aspects to the radical
positions of Solar Ingress planets are important. Since Mercury
equates with high pressure and
increased wind velocities we may expect this type of weather now
over Brisbane.
On the 17th
, Venus will trine Uranus. In the Solar Ingress, Uranus is on
the descendant over
central Queensland. The Venus-Uranus combination brings a cooler
air mass and fair
conditions. However, at this time Mars will square the Solar
Eclipse degree of May 21, 2012. (I
tend give Solar Eclipses that are activated more importance than
the Solar Ingress. Normally, I
give the Solar Ingress more importance than Lunations.) Now if
you look at the chart for this
solar eclipse, youll see Saturn on the Ic through central
Queensland and Pluto crossing it as it
descends through central Queensland. Right after Mars activates
the eclipse degree, the transitSun will conjoin the radical
position of Saturn, and transit Mercury will parallel Pluto. So
Im
expecting this influence to be more powerful than just the
Venus-Uranus trine. I would expect
more along the lines of a low pressure system or cold front
bring cloudy and rainy weather.
Oct 18-23
The main event now is that Mercury makes a 6-day parallel to
Pluto from the 18th
through the
23rd. This is due to Mercurys retrograde station so its not
moving much in declination. Now, I

interpret the influence of Pluto for the most part to be cool.
This, however, is tentative. Since
Pluto is on the Ic over central Queensland in the Solar Ingress,
I would lean toward Mercury
parallel Pluto to mean cool, high pressure. But its not only the
Solar Ingress that has Pluto
angular over the forecast area. We also see it in the New Moon,
Full Moon (which is the current
lunation), Solar, and Lunar eclipse charts. This is basically
whats happening from the 18th
through the 21st
. On the 22nd
, the Sun will parallel Neptune. Only in the Solar Eclipse chart
isthe Sun angular over the forecast area as it parallels Neptune.
This position tends to bring
warmer temperatures and increasing humidity. What apparently
adds more punch to this is the
fact that the Suns opposition to Neptune, which took place on
the previous August 27th
, is now
stimulated by the opposition of Mars to this degree. The Sun and
Neptune were on the Mc/Ic
just one degree off the Brisbane coast. With Mars acting as the
catalyst this has the potential to
bring excessive humidity and precipitation.
Oct 24-31
On the 26th
, the Sun will trine Neptune, which generally is a fair-weather
aspect that increases
temperatures. The main charts that bring this over the forecast
area are the Solar Eclipse chart
that places the Sun 2 degrees off the Brisbane coast and the
First Quarter chart that places
Neptune Ic over eastern Queensland. Something more interesting
is happening, though, in the
Solar Ingress. Radical Mercury ascendant just a bit west of
Brisbane is receiving a square from
Jupiter which is on the Midheaven about 6 degrees to the east of
Brisbane. On the 26th
, the
transit Moon will conjoin Jupiter triggering its square to
radical Mercury. The square between
these two may excite higher wind velocities and bring cooler
temperatures. In some cases there
may be a low pressure system and precipitation.
A cold and somewhat stormy influence kicks in on the 28th
. The previous Sun square Saturn
aspect of July 28th
which placed Saturn on the Brisbane ascendant will now be
triggered by the
Sun as it conjoins the radical degree of Saturn. These two are
known to bring downfall, cloudy
weather, and colder temperatures. All this at a time when the
Sun is also parallel transit Saturn.We also have the trine of Mars
to Pluto on the 31
st. The Solar Ingress, New Moon, Full Moon,
Last Quarter, and Solar Eclipse charts all place Pluto over the
forecast area. If Mars trine Pluto
can be expected to work the same way as the trines between
Mars-Saturn and Mars-Uranus,
then we can expect windy conditions.
