A powerful ‘windstorm’ that authorities are warning
could be the worst to hit the European continent in more than half a century
barrelled over the U.K. Thursday and made way for Germany, the Netherlands,
Belgium, Denmark and Sweden, threatening massive power outages, extreme
flooding in coastal regions, and hurricane-force winds.
In
Astro-Meteorology the relevant cardinal ingress chart offers clues to the
weather. When further supported by Mercury ingress charts it can give a good
idea about changes in wind patterns. Recall that the planet Mercury rules the
winds and is often pictured as travelling
with wings on his feet, and he is as changeable as thought itself. Mercury so
readily changes to the quality of the sign into which it moves, that his
entering a new sign of the zodiac is sufficient change of polarity to warrant
the erection of a new air movement chart.

Major historical storms occur under these stars: a
Bay of Bengal cyclone and 40 ft seawave that hit Calcutta
in 1864, killing 50,000; the 1881 Haifong , China typhoon (thousands died) and the Canton typhoon of 1862; a huge cyclone and 50 ft tidal
wave that hit the Ganges delta in 1970,
killing 300,000. This was Mars at a 1992 eclipse two months before Category 5,
Hurricane Andrew devastated Florida , and at
the 2005 perigee Full Moon before Hurricane Katrina demolished New Orleans
Progressing
the ingress chart to 5 Dec. we get the T-square Moon now sharply
aspecting the horizon axis triggering the effects of Al Sharitain.
But that is not all. What is most amazing is that Mercury
moved into Sagittarius the very same day. The chart for its ingress into
Sagittarius shows Algorab of Corvus[14li] on the Ascendant [14li]. The stars of Corvus
formed an archaic Euphratean lunar mansion whose patron god was Im-dugud-khu, “The Great Storm Bird” or the
“Storm Bird of the Evil Wind” [2]. Jupiter
[19cn] is on the MC conjunct the star Castor [20cn] of the Gemini Twins.
The
Twins Castor and Pollux have a historical reputation for storms at sea. Diana
Rosenberg records “storms (extreme barometric lows)” against these stars and
gives the following examples [3].
This was Uranus at
a 440 CE Solar Eclipse: the city of Ys in Brittany was “submerged in
great flood” and “the sea submerged great
parts of Wales, most cattle drowned”; there was a July 1281 New Moon
here at Kublai Khan’s second attempt to
invade Japan: a vast Armada of 4400 ships and 142,000 Mongol, Chinese and
Korean troops set out in July; in Aug a typhoon struch destroying about 4000
ships and more than 100,000 troops; this was the Node at a July 1591 SolEcl,
the year four hurricanes in one month sank more than 100 ships in the Western
Hemisphere; Mars at the Great Galveston
Hurricane of 1900 : the barometer fell to 27.49 in – a US record up to that
time: the city was inundated, about 8000 killed, “one of the worst natural disasters
to hit the North American continent,” the Node in 1889 when a typhoon wrecked
the ships of Germany and the US that were about to go to war; other events with
placements here include the 1935 Category 5 Labor Day Hurricane that hit the
Florida Keys: the barometer fell to 26.35 in, the lowest ever observed in the
US: winds were estimated at 150 – 200 mph (all wind instruments were
destroyed), it was labelled – “the most intense and tightly knit storm ever to
hit Florida”; the terrible Lake Okeechobee hurricane of 1928 (barometer 27.43
in; 5th lowest in US history) that killed 5000 in the US and Caribbean; a
massive cyclone with 145 mph wind speed that hit Bangladesh in 1911, killing
about 139,000 people and half a million animals and many more.
