EF3 Tornado, Clarksville, TN (December 9, 2023)

Up until Saturday, I didn’t know there was a Clarksville, Tennessee, in reality. Sure, the Monkees’ “Last Train to Clarksville” was a hit in 1966, but I always assumed it was a made-up name of a town. In fact, there’s a national nuclear base there. That’s something that needs to be taken into consideration, too.

Now, if I’d been living in Canada in 1999, I would have heard about the tornado that struck there, then. But I was still in the UK which means that some reports would have been overlooked for more local news.

Ellie Dreams Down Under did a YouTube video about whether or not human emotions affect weather patterns. This look at the event chart is my version of that discussion.

According to Wikipedia, the EF3 tornado that hit Clarksville lasted for one hour. I raised three charts: the first one has the North Node near the Ascendant; the second one (shown above) has Jupiter there; and the third one has the Ascendant approaching Uranus. That’s quite a spread. All through the storm, the trine of the Moon and Venus on one side, Jupiter on the other and Pluto at the apex stayed stable. And the inconjunct between the Sun and Uranus was constant.

There is a side of your personality that is very restless and impatient with rules, even when you know they are for your own good. You want very much to go your own way and do your own thing, even when you aren’t entirely sure that it is the right direction for you. So you rebel in subtle ways by having sudden fits of obstinacy and moods of feeling very contrary.

Sometimes the energy of this aspect comes out in other ways as well. At times sudden upsets may occur in your life that totally alter your plans, so that you have to change course entirely. When this happens, you must learn to yield to the pressure and flow with the change. It may be difficult for you to realize it, but such an upset occurs because you have blocked much-needed changes in your life, or they have been denied you. However upsetting these changes are at first, they will give you the freedom you need to grow as an individual. Unfortunately, if you always wait for changes to come in this manner, they are likely to be very startling and unsettling. If you learn to assert your individuality more directly, the changes will not seem so upsetting.

If you take the structure literally, it represents our homes and other buildings. If they are destroyed, people have the freedom to start over, move or just give up. That feeling is symbolized by this photo:

So, to answer the question: yes, astrology can affect the weather, but mostly through the lens of human feelings and emotional turmoil.
