Quick Summary: Hold on to Your Hats!

This is going to be a pretty wet week for the San Francisco Bay peninsula, though with a few redeeming periods of dryness. Venus in Pisces (a very wet combination) is in the 4^th house, moderated somewhat by the rulership and aspect of Jupiter in Sagittarius (a drying influence). At times, the rain may seem downright relentless and kind of nasty. This is caused by the influence of Saturn, with the Moon applying to square the Great Malefic. Just keep repeating to yourself: “It has been a dry winter. We need the rain to get us through summer and fall!”

As far as wind goes, I expect pretty strong winds starting around Valentine’s Day. This may not be a good time for that romantic alfresco picnic! Pluto on the 4^th house cusp combined with Moon and Mars in the 4^th house might give us quite the ride. There are few mitigating aspects present in the wind chart that would make the weather milder. With Mercury conjunct Uranus, I am hoping that this chart does not indicate an earthquake, as Mercury rules those in addition to wind.

UPDATE (Feb. 18, 2007): The week began with heavy rain (Moon applying to Saturn), followed by a thunderstorm (that’s the Jupiter influence combined with wet Venus, I expect). The rest of the week, the sky was hazy and a bit foggy, but the days were clear. There were a few mildly breezy days, but nothing like the wind chart would suggest.
