Hurricane Milton made landfall as a Category 3 storms at 8.30pm last night with Pluto close to the Midheaven in Sarasota, Florida and tore through the state bringing tornadoes, floods, and the risk of storm surges. More than three million homes and businesses are without power, and there have been “a number of deaths” reported on the Atlantic coast. It comes two weeks after Hurricane Helene killed at least 225 people in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. Milton was a category five hurricane and downgraded to category one as it crossed the state.
The landfall chart has a Water Grand Trine of Venus in Scorpio trine Saturn and Neptune in Pisces trine Mars in Cancer. Venus is further challenged being on the point of a yod inconjunct Jupiter sextile Chiron with Uranus and Algol in opposition to Venus being the reaction point.
The recent 2 October Solar Eclipse located to Sarasota, has Mars within a degree of the Descendant, indicating it as a high-risk zone.
A previous destructive hurricane Michael in 2018 which was the first Category 5 hurricane to make landfall in the USA since 1992 which impacted on the Florida Panhandle was also marked up by a heavily stressed Mars on the Descendant of the previous Solar Eclipse in August 2018 – conjunct the South Node and square a 10th house Uranus.
The Florida state chart, 2 March 1845, does have Jupiter in Aries which is catching the recent Libra Solar Eclipse pointing to Jupiter’s less helpful presence in disasters. Apart from that more obvious signs of concern are flagged up from late November to late December with tr Uranus square the high-risk Mars/Pluto midpoint and square the Florida Neptune Mercury as well.
So… What would you say it is like to live in Florida? Is it a retirees’ state? Is it hopelessly going to sink or be taken by the waters? Is it enormously expensive? How does the inner Florida compare to coastal places? How would you describe the various major cities in terms of the feel, such as Tampa, Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, Naples…?
Hi All,
Not sure if anyone has read this?……. But just when you think things can’t get any crazier. It does

Chemtrails…again.
From a CNN article:” “We are going to stop this crime,” Trump surrogate and former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. tweeted in response to a video promoting the myth in August.
In April, Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill banning the release of airborne chemicals that critics described as “nonsense” and inspired by the myth. ”
But then, RFK, Jr had a worm in his head…chopped off the head of a whale…and other unmentionables.
Those chem trails are probably something to do with the Dems and their weather controlling machine, larry.
Looking at the charts and thinking of Pluto is just struck me about living with the Planetary elements in a weather sense. Which is not often discussed. Vivian Robson has a section in her book about the Fixed “Stars in Astro-Meteorology”. The above comment states that the “Hurricane’s worse case scenario was largely avoided”. Vindemiatrix is in Libra, yet not near the stellium with the Sun, Mercury and Lillith. Pluto on the Midheaven is a planet that can destroy power. However, Mercury is the God of Speed, which in the Sarasota’s chart is on the Lillith/Sun mid-point. With Lillith square Pluto. Perhaps it could be seen as unleashing of the furies, yet with the Saturn/Moon midpoint in Aquarius trine its Sun, slowing it down and taking a sudden turn for the better?
@Helen In some circles the cycles of Saturn are taking into account precisely because you have to reckon with cause and effect, which is one of the characteristics of Saturn. So you would look back roughly 29 or 30 years to see what was happening then, particularly to do with earthquakes and volcano eruptions.
The 17th Harmonic chart for Milton is very strong and creates an unforgettable legacy.
It brings together planets forming a powerful T-square with apex Mars-Pluto
opposition Uranus, hurricane.tornadoes. The other arm has MILTON opposing
Neptune, sea surge, floods.
Joinng this t-square is the Sun in infamaous #22, gving fame and end leaving a
legacy for history. Click the link for its 17th Harmonic chart…enlarge with magnifier.

It seems the worst case scenario was largely avoided, but what’s interesting is how unpredictable Milton was. The landfall was several hours before expected, at the Southern end of projection models. Worst flooding seems to be in zones that were not under immediate evacuation order. Tornados caused havoc in Eastern Florida well before the landfall in West – I guess due to the size of the hurricane. Really disturbing in many ways.
Mother nature will always have the upper hand. Futile fighting it, in some ways.
The media underestimated Hurricane Helene which tracked across 6 states killing over 200 people and leaving a similar number missing. It has then proceeded to overestimate Hurricane Milton which was a Category 5 storm at sea but was already decaying about 24 hours before it hit Florida as a Category 3 Storm. Its track was always going to largely confined its impact to the state of Florida. Maybe this mismatch is because it is easier to report the impact of the weather from areas like Florida with good transport links than from more remote and mountainous parts of the USA which often seem to get less coverage from the press when disaster strikes. As for the astrology of storms they often occur when the seasons shift so I have wondered whether this is an area where the various main ingress charts such as for Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn would be important for long range forecasts along with the those for New and Full Moons. In fact Super Moons are always worth watching for their impact on the weather and tides is pretty well established. Despite the concerns about global warming I am not sure that there is any real evidence that the world is actually getting stormier. Here in the U.K. the climate seems to have got wetter and warmer but there is no sign of any increase in the number of windstorms and the average number of annual thunderstorms has declined over the last 50 years.
They did go way over the score before Milton which I must say I never thought would be as devastating as the ‘end of the world’ stuff that Biden was putting out.
Just to add one of the issues with weather phenomena like hurricanes is that they can exist for quite a number of days so it is not clear when a chart should be drawn and the storms might hit multiple land masses. The actual genesis of storms is often not clear so presumably the most appropriate charts for hurricanes would be when they first get upgraded to that category by forecasters and then when they hit a particular location. As for this years hurricane season my guess is that the presence of Neptune and Saturn in Pisces would mean that water in the form of rain and storm surges was always going to be a bigger factor than pure wind speed. It will be interesting to see if there is a big shift in the weather when Neptune and Saturn moves to Aries. I think there is a whole book to be written on astrology and the weather.
Agree there’s a whole book to be written about astrology and weather, Hugh. Might be worth looking at a chart for the start of Hurricane Season, which is 1st June, so always in airy Gemini. This year had Mars 23 Aries, conjunct Chiron 22 Aries. Those sat on the Florida Pluto, 22 Aries. There was also a trine between Jupiter in Gemini and Pluto in Aquarius, which seems very airy. Pluto was right on the MC for Milton, and square the MC/IC axis for Helene.
Obviously, some kind of spreadsheet is required to see if this works at all!
On her post for Hurricane Helene, Marjorie writes:
“This week’s Solar Eclipse at 10 degrees Libra was a repeat of the October 2005 Solar eclipse at 10 Libra which occurred only a few weeks after Katrina.”
Interesting to see that Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has a chart for 25 September 1719. That has MC 7 Libra, Mercury 8 Libra, and Uranus 10 Libra. Jupiter was 8 Libra in the Hurricane Season planetary line up for 1st June that year. There was a 1st June 2005 t-square of Mars 22 Pisces, Pluto 23 Sagittarius, and Venus 26 Gemini on the Baton Rouge ascendant, 22 Sagittarius.
This Baton Rouge chart is on Astrotheme, with the caveat accuracy in question, contributed by Penfield. Interesting nonetheless.
I have no idea which media you were following, but neither Helene nor Milton were badly forecast. Take a look at NYTimes’s article on five things their meteorologist says about Milton and notice the part about the path. Also Helene flooding was designated as “catastrophic” well in advance. Certain matters were not that emphasized, e.g. the tornadoes with Milton, but far from it being badly forecast. By science, not astrology.
