A New Approach to Astrology

The Zodiac and Meteorology

Disclaimer: with astrology, it is possible to decipher our behaviour or to get a glimpse of the future. This is a theory which cannot be systematically tested. On the other hand, one may wish to follow an easier path, which puts into practice the principles listed in astrology textbooks. In a way, this is precisely the type of practical exercises that we suggest in this Lifestyle column.

We recommend that you follow our advice with both a light and observing mind. Beyond entertainment, the aim is to understand how each of us behaves in various fields; thus, we can better define and fathom, by deduction, how we have developed our natal predispositions. In addition, why wouldn't we be able to guess the talent(s) which we could harness in the future, according to our astrological profile.

The following information is given for signs in their purest form. Depending on the case, it is advisable that you check your planetary dominant or the sign of your Ascendant, the position, quality and aspects of the significators of the area involved, and if applicable, the position of the planets associated with it. For instance, for family affairs, examine the 4th House and its ruler, as well the Moon; for romance, examine the 5th House and its ruler, as well as Venus, etc.

The large number of books we have read, and more particularly, the experience we have drawn from the study of thousands of charts, urge us to be cautious. However, we thought that it may be interesting to provide a few concrete indications, which will turn out to be accurate, quite often.

Aries, Aries rising, Mars dominant, or strong 1st House

Meteorology for Aries, Aries rising, Mars dominant, or strong 1st House

At first sign, it is neither an insignificant gust of wind, nor a deluge which can deter you. Climate conditions must be confronted head-on, of course. You often go out hastily, not really well-equipped for the circumstances. It does not matter. You are indeed the kind of person who withstands the vagaries of weather, and you have your pride.

Furthermore, you are willing to face up to climates which are not meant for wimps. You love to be outdoors and to feel the elements raging. If bad mood is overwhelming, you thus have a ready-made excuse to explain your sudden headache. However, it is true that the forthcoming sunny days cheer you up. A sunray at the right moment is all it takes to boost tenfold your energy – as if you needed it, but...

Taurus, Taurus rising, Venus dominant, or strong 2nd House

Meteorology for Taurus, Taurus rising, Venus dominant, or strong 2nd House

Never rushing, you like to "settle deeply" in a season. For instance, you feel that spring has begun only when the trees are in full bloom. Likewise, it is when the day lasts longer that you appreciate summertime; when the mist spreads everywhere, you sense that autumn is back; and you think that there is no real winter without snow.

You are very fond of Mother Nature's charms, and you appreciate them with all your senses. Lilac's scents in May, sea salt on your skin in summer, fallen leaves crisping under your steps during your long walks when the weather is cold. You fully enjoy all these little pleasures. On the other hand, it takes you forever to find the right outfit, suitable for the context but always gorgeous since Venus is your ruler.

Gemini, Gemini rising, Mercury dominant, or strong 3rd House

Meteorology for Gemini, Gemini rising, Mercury dominant, or strong 3rd House

Owing to your intellectual nature, you could not care less about the weather. However, you are always eager for social exchanges, and it must be admitted that they are easier when the weather is fine. For example, you are fond of the first spring or summer evenings, when terraces are buzzing with conversations.

You dislike the inconvenience of heavy clothes, and of any sort of discomfort such as having wet sneakers or being hit by the umbrella of unknown people. On the other hand, you welcome the wind, because it is the manifestation of your element. Although it may turn the pages of your favourite newspapers, it makes you laugh!

Cancer, Cancer rising, the Moon dominant, or strong 4th House

Meteorology for Cancer, Cancer rising, the Moon dominant, or strong 4th House

Because you are oversensitive to pain – this is an understatement – you are glad when the weather is fine. Therefore, you prefer summertime, provided the heat is not scorching. You enjoy daydreaming and basking in the sunshine like a lizard, but without feeling the biting sensation of burning sunrays. Winter finds favour in your eyes if you can spend it in the warm by the fireplace, your gaze lost into the snowflakes falling behind the window pane.

Autumn invites you to indulge in a mood of tender melancholy. You adore its poetry. Owing to the influence of the Moon, you are affected by the weather. You become grumpy when the north wind blows, depressed when the rain falls for too long, and you curl up under the blankets when the cold becomes too biting. Slightly stuck in the past, you also feel that seasons were more contrasted during your childhood and that old days were better.

Leo, Leo rising, the Sun dominant, or strong 5th House

Meteorology for Leo, Leo rising, the Sun dominant, or strong 5th House

Ideally, the weather should humbly bow to your desires. In other words, it would be so good for you if you lived in the heart of an anticyclone. This does not prevent you from also appreciating climatic conditions when they are… grandiose. You hope to experience a real heat wave or Siberian temperatures. But in all cases, you clearly prefer summertime, the queen of all seasons.

You vitally need to see the sun shining in all its splendour. Besides, you take advantage of it to highlight your natural beauty; suntan is a matter you take very seriously, and you strive to make it perfect, focusing on holiday destinations from which you can come back with a golden tan. You secretly enjoy being envied by people, and nothing is worse than to stupidly undergo weather inconveniences such as looking unwell or having a cold.

Virgo, Virgo rising, Mercury dominant, or strong 6th House

Meteorology for Virgo, Virgo rising, Mercury dominant, or strong 6th House

You are most unlikely to be caught unprepared by the weather. Because you are careful to prevent risks, you religiously listen to weather forecasts. Even when the sun is shining outside, if the barometer starts to fall, you are the first person who knows that you need an umbrella. You also happen to take a look at season forecasts so as to better foresee how you should organise yourself in the forthcoming months. But this science is still too inaccurate for you, which you find upsetting.

You pay high attention to climate change reports, because their seriousness worries you. In general, you know everything about this issue. Only you know the effects of La Niña and its possible consequences for the weather in your location. Without complaining, you are always better prepared than other people to face any unprecedented circumstance.

Libra, Libra rising, Venus dominant, or strong 7th House

Meteorology for Libra, Libra rising, Venus dominant, or strong 7th House

Whenever you are asked to give your opinion, let us be clear, you enjoy temperate climates. You would obviously choose a mid-season day, with hazy sky and showers alternating with bright intervals. This would be ideal for walking through the city, and especially for practicing your favourite activities such as a visit to a museum followed by a lunch break in a fashionable restaurant.

Since you are concerned about your appearance, you consult weather forecasts for one main reason: how will you stick to your legendary elegance if it rains or if the wind blows? Incidentally, climate uncertainties are your nightmare. You hate to suffer from sunburns or to see that humidity makes your hair go frizzy. To tell the truth, you prefer a thousand times to avoid going outdoors when the weather is unfriendly.

Scorpio, Scorpio rising, Pluto dominant, or strong 8th House

Meteorology for Scorpio, Scorpio rising, Pluto dominant, or strong 8th House

Because you do nothing like other people, you love the most extreme climate conditions. There is nothing you find more deliciously thrilling than flashes of lightning illuminating the sky, followed by thunderclaps resonating like gongs or cymbals. Although you do not admit it aloud, you even find tornadoes and hurricanes fascinating. You are part of the scholars who know that the Coriolis effect gives birth to tropical storms.

In winter, you also enjoy listening to the Great North wind, and you do not hesitate to play adventurers in order to better appreciate a stormy sea smashing against rocks. A philosopher, you are aware that the cycles of nature are endlessly repeating. If the lava of a volcano destroys a forest, its trees will grow even more luxuriant later on.

Sagittarius, Sagittarius rising, Jupiter dominant, or strong 9th House

Meteorology for Sagittarius, Sagittarius rising, Jupiter dominant, or strong 9th House

With your passion for faraway places and your unquestioned erudition, you are unbeatable in the field of world weather. You know exactly when the summer and the winter monsoon start in the Indian Ocean. You are aware of the forest fires caused by recurring droughts in the American West; you are sure that you can go skiing in the Andes in July, or that you can admire the northern lights beyond the Polar circle in February. And, which is less known, you understand that in the United Arab Emirates, humidity is very high, particularly in summer and even though it never rains, because of the evaporation of the waters of the Gulf.

In a word, you are a real guide when it comes to choose where and when to travel. You are keen to try everything and to know everything. However, you prefer a fine weather permitting outdoor activities.

Capricorn, Capricorn rising, Saturn dominant, or strong 10th House

Meteorology for Capricorn, Capricorn rising, Saturn dominant, or strong 10th House

You love to take up the most difficult challenges, and this applies to the field of weather also. This means that you are prepared to experience the most extreme temperature peaks. Although heat waves are not your cup of tea, you keep it to yourself because you believe that it would be inappropriate to complain. You consider that one ought to be far-sighted and to grin and bear it. After all, your philosophy is the right one: time as well as seasons always end up passing.

Nevertheless, it so happens that you are not the most optimistic sign of the zodiac. You worry about climate changes, and sometimes you get a wicked pleasure describing the disasters threatening us. It is true that cold suits you. You manage to spare your efforts pending better days. In the heart of winter, you feel the special joy proper to survivors.

Aquarius, Aquarius rising, Uranus dominant, or strong 11th House

Meteorology for Aquarius, Aquarius rising, Uranus dominant, or strong 11th House

Whereas everyone talks about the current weather, you think that this kind of conversation is terribly commonplace. Therefore, you never listen to weather forecasts. You are able to go out wearing short sleeves despite negative temperatures, and even to ignore storm or hurricane warnings. You may also be at the other extreme and focus on long-term forecasts. After having attended Al Gore's conference, you are persuaded that we shall sooner or later experience a pole reversal which will reshuffle the cards for climate.

But you prefer to imagine these hypotheses in front of a computer rather than acting as the adventurers of the extreme. Since your nature is not too robust, you should come back to earth.

Pisces, Pisces rising, Neptune dominant, or strong 12th House

Meteorology for Pisces, Pisces rising, Neptune dominant, or strong 12th House

Since you have often your head in the clouds, you are not among the people who have no idea what the weather is going to be. But your fragile constitution sends you a wake-up call. If it is raining, you quickly go back home to get an umbrella. Even better, you cancel going out. It goes without saying that you leave it to other people to play kamikazes. On vacation by the seaside, you want the weather to be nice and warm so you can bask on your towel, whereas if you plan a shopping trip downtown, you prefer a slightly mistier weather.

No, you are neither whimsical nor complicated, only sensual and sometimes a bit lazy. Therefore, you will adjust with minimum efforts to both small and big climate changes, while protecting your personal comfort as best as you can. And after all, many people envy your so smart and easy-going approach.
