Long Term Weather Forecast

Our resident long-term weather forecast gnome has gotten a case of the summer lazies recently, and no amount of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream could persuade him to type up one of his weather predictions. He had earned a break for correctly predicting a rare day of summer rain here in California, so I didn’t insist. But our gnome’s glory lost its luster after a while, and my nagging grew ever more strident, so he deigned to submit a new long-term weather prediction for the U.S. West Coast: The following week has Venus in Virgo and Saturn in Leo (in their fall and detriment, respectively) straddling the Midheaven. An interesting and unpleasant combination, especially given that Saturn squares a nasty Mars in Taurus to boot! Because the aspect is separating, it is not as strong as we would normally expect, but it’s worth keeping an eye out. Saturn square Mars is thought to bring thunderstorms and hail in the summer.
More immediately interesting is Venus in Virgo, which is said to give cold and dry air, combined with some rain (because Venus is occidental from the Sun).
