Steve provided a link to significant Florida freezes which, of course, are high-impact event on the state's agriculture. As time permits, I'm going to look at the lunar ingresses and, where appropriate, daily timing for this.
http://www.flcitrusmutual.com/industry- ... eline.aspx

Solar ingresses may be more broadly relevant in the sense of high-impact on local economy; but the main factors I'm looking for are the weather conditions, plus a Capsolar interrupts the winter and becomes flakier as a gauge. (May loop back and check it more later.) I'm especially interested in the lunar ingresses, mostly based on the appearance that they are our primary weather forecasting charts, plus their overall high-impact and accuracy, and the fact that they cover short periods of time but more than a day or two. Finally, the daily timing may show some particular factors - interested in looking.

As a middling area, I'll calculate the charts for Orlando. I may illustrate some of the results with astromaps.

Here are the events. Bolded dates were "impact freezes," i.e., so severe that they "annihilate entire groves across the state, killing both nature and young citrus trees, while causing a profound economic impact on the citrus industry and usually prompting growers to replant farther south."

1. 1835 Feb 2-9 (north & central Florida)
2. 1894 Dec 29-30 (immediately after a month of warm weather)
3. 1895 Feb 8-9 (the zinger after the one a month-plus earlier)
4. 1899 Feb 13-14 (wiped out all the recover since 1895)
5. 1917 Feb 2-6
6. 1934 Dec 12-13
7. 1940 January [coldest month on record in Florida history], freeze Jan 27-29
8. 1957 Dec 12-13
9. 1962 Dec 12-13 [most damage in 20th Century to that date]
10. 1977 Jan 18-20
11. 1981 Jan 12-14
12. 1983 Dec 24-25 [surprise freeze, the warning system failed to predict it]
13. 1985 Jan 20-22 [combined with '85, this had severe consequences]
14. 1989 Dec 22-26

1835 Feb 2-9

Month: Caplunar
Sun (sq Asc 1°09'), Mercury (sq Asc 0°09'), Sun-Mercury conj. (1°10')
Moon (MC 4°47'), Pluto (Asc 3°46')
Neptune (MC 8°07'), Saturn (8°03')
-- Sa/Ne to angles (0°02')
-- Moon-Saturn sq. (0°42')
-- Moon-Pluto sq. (1°01' in mundo)

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
The freeze lasted for a week. Quotidians are hard to track (began with a trailing Uranus, ended with Jupiter). Of particular interest is t. Mars conj. CapQ Moon & s. Moon as the pain was hitting.

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
Again, quotidians are hard to judge, though these planets seem distinctive. Over these several days, angles moved from Neptune through Mercury and Mars.

The singular contact of interest, though, is t. Saturn's partile square to Cansolar Sun; and, while Saturn wasn't angular, that Sun was about 1° from Cansolar EP.

1894 Dec 29-30 (immediately after a month of warm weather)
The solar ingresses had been playing off the Neptune-Pluto conjunction - widest in the Capsolar, closer in the Cansolar, then Neptune right on the angle in the Libsolar. This is consistent with the "anxiety" type of bad events.

Month: Caplunar
The main message is that this is a "shocker." The Caplunar occurred less than a day before the freeze hit. (Remember, this event pairs with the next freeze on the list, they were a one-two punch to the area and this was the less destructive of the two.)
Uranus (MC 0°50')
Moon (Asc 3°54')

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
With the Neptune build-up for the year, the only CapQ hit is CapQ MC sq. t. Neptune the day it all started. (This would outweigh t. Jupiter sq. Capsolar MC, which, however, was likely responsible for the unseasonably fine weather of the weeks preceding).

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
CanQ Asc was just short of 2° orb of transiting Pluto. It would be solidly in orb (and close) by the end of the two-day freeze.

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:24 pm**

1895 Feb 8-9 (the zinger after the one a month-plus earlier)
This is Chapter 2 of the prior one. The Capsolar has changed, but the new one is dormant, leaving the anxiety-inducing Libsolar in charge of the quarter; though I don't think the solars are all that important here.

Month: Caplunar
Jupiter (Asc 2°59')
Not a fit. I suspect it pertains to the intervening warmer weather.

Week: Canlunar
But the "chart of the week Canlunar, beginning only a few hours earlier, picked up the slack!
Saturn (sq Asc (0°40')
Moon (EP 2°23')

Day: Capsolar Quotidians
CanQ Asc op. s. & t. Saturn (just leaving orb for Orlando) - as part of a Mars-Saturn opposition in the Capsolar which, however, is past orb. Capsolar Mercury rotated to the MC. (Not bad, not great.)

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
The Cansolar also had a Mars-Saturn opposition, and this one was centered on the CanQ Ascendant. When the freeze began, CanQ Asc was just 2° past square to s. Mars, and 3° applying to s. Saturn, so it was moving into the Saturn contact over the couple of days of the freeze. (This is centered on Orlando. The orbs would be different in other parts of the state.)

So far, the pattern seems to be that the lunar ingress of the week is the clearest, and the quotidians show the right symbolism more often than not.

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:24 pm**

1899 Feb 13-14 (wiped out all the recover since 1895)
The recent Capsolar was dormant. The Libsolar flowed through and, as before, had Neptune exactly setting. The Cansolar had Pluto 0°04' from setting in Orlando plus a Moon-Neptune conjunction on Westpoint.

Month: Caplunar
Pluto 3° from IC (and closer for part of the state) is a setup for serious impact. Moon closely opposes Mars. This was also the chart of the week. I think it doesn't show the weather, but does show the serious blow.

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
Not an accurate chart. CapQ MC squares s. Jupiter. Additionally, t. Venus conjoined the Capsolar MC. I make no sense of this.

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
CanQ MC squares Cansolar Sun - and this doesn't seem to be a very sunny event. (Possibly a blow this serious received government intervention?) Ah, wait, t. Mars conjoined CanQ EP (almost missed it), and we've been seeing Mars angular for these - surely not the cold, but likely the damage.

Transits to Cansolar were even more on target. For our sample location, Orlando:
t. Saturn sq. Capsolar MC (0°31'), op. s. Moon (0°21')
t. Neptune sq. Capsolar MC (0°46'), conj. s. Moon (0°36')
-- Saturn-Neptune op. (0°15')

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:25 pm**

1917 Feb 2-6
This wasn't an "impact freeze" - a lesser freeze as bad freezes go (whole crops weren't eradicated) - and, again, we see Uranus as the main factor in the new Capsolar. The Cansolar had Jupiter at MC square Neptune (sq MC).

Month: Caplunar
Saturn (IC 1°06'), Mars (sq. Asc 1°58')
Jupiter (EP 2°22'), Mercury (MC 3°25'), Moon (3°50')
-- Moon-Mercury conj. (0°25'), Moon-Jupiter sq. (2°46'), Jupiter-Saturn sq. (0°29')
Sun (MC 8°58')

Week: Arilunar
Pluto 3°44' from Asc from Orlando. Either the Arilunar is dormant, and the quite accurate Caplunar prevails, or the Arilunar is showing high impact for some parts of the state.

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
CapQ Moon-Venus sq. (0°39')
On pure transits to the Capsolar, an exact Mars-Uranus square is just 2° past square Ascendant, 2° before crossing IC.

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
CanQ Moon-Uranus conjunction is past partile, so it doesn't count per se. However, the transiting partile Mars-Uranus conjunction is in the same degree as both, and Mars (over the four days of the freeze) easily conjoined and passed CanQ Moon. So, again, we see a very precise Mars hit for the "pain" and general damage of it all. - The freeze began with CanQ MC square this Moon.

t. Neptune squares Cansolar MC (0°26'). t. Sun conjoins Cansolar Moon.

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:25 pm**

1934 Dec 12-13
In the solar ingresses, Neptune does seem to be a recurring factor. For this event, the Capsolar is dormant and the Cansolar has Neptune square MC, plus Saturn just over 3° above Ascendant. In fact, Sa/Ne is < 1° from the horizon.

Month: Caplunar
This is not one of the "impact" freezes that eradicated whole crops. The "impact" events have been Saturn-dominated, and the others have had other factors, mostly Uranus. For this one, it's Neptune - a lot of worrying!
Sun (sq MC < 0°39')
Neptune (MC 1°06')
Moon-Pluto op. (1°53')
Mercury (Asc 2°01')
-- Mercury-Neptune sq. (0°55')
-- Sun-Neptune sq. (2°09')

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
CapQ Moon op. t. Pluto (0°47')
t. Mars sq. Capsolar MC (just enters orb at start of first day, continues through)

Day: Cansolar Quotidians
CanQ Asc sq. t. Jupiter [inappropriate]

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:25 pm**

1940 January [coldest month on record in Florida history], freeze Jan 27-29
For the record, the Cansolar AGAIN has Neptune right on an angle.

Month: Caplunar
In terms of angularity, this isn't what I'd expect for the coldest month ever recorded in Florida; but with Saturn at 0° Aries, it squared Sun in the Capsolar and squared Moon in the Caplunar (and other ingresses).

In terms of angularity, a Venus-Uranus square dominates the angles:
Venus-Uranus sq. (1°22')
Uranus sq. Asc (1°10')
Venus on Dsc (2°12')

Week: Arilunar
The month "picked up cold" as it went. The Arilunar had Moon partile conjunct Saturn at 0°Aries, and record-breaking Pluto 2°56' below Descendant. (This Arilunar was the effective "chart of the week" because the Canlunar was dormant.)

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
As the freeze began, CapQ Asc opposed transiting Saturn, and was just leaving orb of the Sun-Saturn square from the Capsolar. As in the Capsolar a week earlier, Moon opposed Neptune partile.

Transiting Mars was almost to the minute on Capsolar Descendant for the start of January 27.

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
CanQ Asc squared s. Neptune. Two days later, when the freeze broke, CanQ MC opposed transiting Jupiter.

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:26 pm**

1957 Dec 12-13
This was not an "impact" freeze. We would expect more moderate conditions for this event. In the solar ingresses, Pluto squares MC in the Capsolar. The immediate Libsolar has the (by now familiar for non-impact freezes) closely angular Uranus.

Month: Caplunar
The Caplunar is dormant. A partile (mundane) Moon-Venus conjunction hovers.

Week: Canlunar
As we have seen in previous examples, the "chart of the week" brings it home:
Mars (IC Asc 1°19')
Pluto (Asc 8°04')
Moon-Jupiter sq. (1°10')

Day: Capsolar Quotidians
CapQ Asc conj. t. Mercury
CapQ MC conj. t. Jupiter, sq. s./p. Sun
CapQ Moon-Mercury op. (0°25')
This seems quite inappropriate, unless this is the mitigation or lessened severity. I think it's a just miss.

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
t. Venus conj. Cansolar EP
t. Sun sq. Cansolar Moon
This, too, seems a miss. The daily charts let us down this time.

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:26 pm**

1962 Dec 12-13 [most damage in 20th Century up to that date]
The Cansolar had Uranus, backed up by Mars-Saturn. The Libsolar is all wrong, though, with Jupiter-Uranus tightly along the meridian. (That could be "economic changes," but not usually how that aspect manifests. Again, the solar ingresses don't serve us for these.)

Month: Caplunar
Mars (Asc 1°24')
Neptune (IC 4°19'), Venus (IC 6°28').
-- Mars-Neptune (2°55')
-- Venus-Neptune (1°49')

Week: Arilunar
Dormant, so the Caplunar is the prevailing chart of the week. (In the Arilunar, the closest planet to the angles is Saturn, FWIW.)

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
CapQ MC just leaving orb of Saturn as freeze begins, so I judge this a miss. Nothing on the angles.
Worse, the Jupiter-Uranus opposition in space is exactly along the Capsolar MC axis. This is worse than a miss unless the CanQ pulls it out.

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
Nothing here. The daily charts let us down, though the lunar ingress was excellent.

1977 Jan 18-20

Month: Caplunar
As with most non-impact freezes, Uranus is the planet that appears here.
Uranus (Dsc 0°41')
Pluto (Dsc 5°13')
Moon (MC 7°24')
Jupiter (Asc 8°20')
-- Moon-Pluto (0°49')
-- Mo/Ju (0°28')

Fortnight: Canlunar
Moon (MC 2°41')
Sun, Mercury, Pluto widely foreground & aspecting in mundo

Week: Liblunar
Pluto (IC 1°09')
Moon (IC 3°48')
-- Moon-Pluto conj. (2°39')
Sun widely on Dsc

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
CapQ WP is < 2° from t. Pluto, getting closer and exact over the course of the freeze. t. Mars conjoined Capsolar MC over these three days (and t. Mars & Pluto were in exact square).

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
(Unnecessary since the CapQ came on so strong.)
CanQ Moon sq. CanQ Asc.
t. Neptune sq. Cansolar MC (0°28' at start of freeze). t. Venus squared Neptune as she crossed the Cansolar IC.

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:27 pm**

1981 Jan 12-14
The Cansolar for that year was quite severe. Though Venus was the most angular, it was square a tightly angular Saturn at MC. Neptune was rising with a medium orb, square Mars in the upper foreground. Unusually severe (and, again, showing the Neptune focus). Then, the Libsolar marked the quarter with Saturn < 1° from square Ascendant.

Month: Caplunar
Pluto (sq. Asc 1°26')
Moon (Dsc 2°17')
Saturn (IC 2°44'), Jupiter (IC 2°56'), Jupiter-Saturn conj. (0°12')
Mercury (Dsc 3°11'), Sun (Dsc 6°17'), Sun-Mercury conj. (3°)
Mercury square the Jupiter-Saturn in mundo < 1°

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
CapQ MC begins conj. s. Pluto exactly, then moves from there to t. Pluto by the end, always being within orb of one or the other. CapQ Asc conj. p. Moon (a figurative Moon-Pluto paran, though measured ecliptically).

t. Pluto is < 1° from conj. Capsolar MC throughout.

Day: Cansolar Quotidians
CanQ MC op. CanQ Moon-Saturn, squared by t. Neptune - a very malicious pattern. By the end of the freeze, CanQ Asc squares t. Saturn (and then, immediately after that, Jupiter).

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:27 pm**

1983 Dec 24-25 [surprise freeze, the warning system failed to predict it]
The year was severe: The Capsolar had Pluto rising, and a Moon-Saturn square foreground inter alia. The dormant Cansolar had, for the whole world, a triple conjunction of Moon-Saturn-Pluto. The Libsolar then had Sun rising in mundane conjunction with Pluto, among other things.

Month: Caplunar
Uranus sets (3°03') Surprise!

Week: Canlunar
Sun-Neptune conjunction (10' mundo) < 3° from Dsc.

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
Nothing.

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
CanQ MC exactly conjunct t. Uranus - the main detail reported for this event is that, due to failure of the early warning system, the farmers were surprised, taken off guard. We do have, though, CanQ Asc sq. s. Jupiter.

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:28 pm**

1985 Jan 20-22 [combined with '83, this had severe consequences]

Month: Caplunar
Dormant.

Fortnight: Canlunar
Mercury at MC and a little Mars and Neptune in the wings. Universal Moon-Jupiter opposition in the background.

Week: Liblunar
Dormant. The Canlunar survives as the ingress of the week, and is a weak showing at best.

Day: Capsolar Quotidians & Transits
CapQ MC squares p. Moon-Pluto (conj. 0°12') & t, Pluto.
t. Pluto is 3' from conj. s. Moon, too.
t. Sun conj. s. MC

Day: Cansolar Quotidians
Only t. Mercury is on a CanQ angle, and probably represented news coverage near the end of the freeze.

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:28 pm**

1989 Dec 22-26
The Capsolar had a partile Moon-Mars conjunction, bringing harshness worldwide in different forms. For central Florida, it had a mundane T-square on the angles of Pluto setting op. Jupiter rising, both square Mercury at MC. This is consistent with numerous other mundane charts we've seen that indicate economic devastation of an area. The Cansolar brought nerves and edginess. The Libsolar is dormant. So, as solar ingresses go, the Capsolar is the main voice.

Month: Caplunar
Saturn (sq. Asc 0°56'), on IC (0°25')
Neptune (sq. Asc 0°21'), on IC (0°55')
-- Sa/Ne = Asc 0°18', mundo to IC 0°15'
-- Saturn-Neptune conj. (1°20')
Jupiter (sq. Asc 2°18'), on MC (2°49')
-- Ju/Sa = Asc 0°41'
-- Moon-Venus conj. (0°02' eclipto, 0°01' mundo)
-- Jupiter-Neptune op. (1°54' mundo)
Uranus (IC 7°45')

Fortnight: Canlunar
Venus closely setting, Moon also foreground. Not a contributor to the event.

Week: Liblunar
Pluto (Dsc 0°04'), sq. MC (1°39'), on WP (1°03')
Mars (sq. MC 0°10')
-- Mars-Pluto conj. (1°49')
Sun (Dsc 1°50')
-- Sun-Pluto conj. (1°54' mundo)
-- Su/Pl on Dsc 0°53'
Mercury more widely foreground

Day: Capsolar Quotidians
CapQ Asc < 1° past sq. p. Sun, applying 2° to s. Mars so that it moved through the Mars during the crisis.

Day: Cansolar Quotidians & Transits
p. Moon-Neptune conj. (0°32') for the whole world, + t. Neptune conj. CanQ Moon 0°30'
t. Saturn conj. Cansolar MC (0°40')

Posted: **Sat May 13, 2017 6:28 pm**

These are now finished. Overall, they are a really remarkable set of charts. In particular, the effective lunar ingress of the week told the story, often (but hardly invariably) backed up by daily indicators.

When I did an intense study with WD Gann’s work with his mundane astrology with commodities, he said Mars rules Coffee & Cattle; Venus rules Soybeans; Sun Gold; Moon Silver; nothing about Oranges but I guess it would be Sun. Gann never explained in any of his written material how to apply these planetary rulers with a specific commodity and its prices.

Interesting Derek. If you ever find this write up, it may be interesting for Jim to do a SMA analysis for this event.

Arcturus and Alpha Centauri are the most prominent orange stars in the sky. I'd have to do all the charts all over again to see if these stood out, but there's some information somebody could run with.
