Dear Stargazers,
Many of you wrote asking me if there was an astrological significance in connection to the deadly flood in Texas and numerous other storms and floods throughout the country during the past 3-4 months, as well as the recent 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Alaska.
In a nation's chart, the 4th house rules its land and natural resources.Transits to the 4th house can indicate the potential for natural disasters, including those that are caused by weather-related patterns such as hurricanes, fires and droughts.
My astrological opinion is that it is connected to Saturn (earth) and Neptune (water) in Aries, both of which have been sitting at the cusp of the nation's 4th house.
On that note, August 7-10 is noteworthy because during that time transiting Mars will be directly opposing the nation's 4th house cusp, as well as transiting Saturn and Neptune which will be sitting on it.
That this alignment will be in in effect during the August 9 full moon increases the odds of a significant event, though based on a quick analysis of the chart it may not be weather related. I'll have more to say about the full moon chart in next week's newsletter.
