This week’s lunar phase brought some notable structural shifts in the sky — particularly a Full Moon lunar eclipse layered over the winter’s seasonal framework.
The seasonal chart has already set a cold, structured tone for this winter (Mars rising in Capricorn), and this week activated one of the key moisture signatures in that pattern.
Here’s what was in play:
• The lunar Descendant aligned with seasonal Jupiter increasing the potential for incoming systems
• A Saturn–Neptune conjunction supported organized moisture
• Mars provided forward motion
• Mercury retrograde added some timing and track uncertainty
The result: elevated precipitation potential compared to earlier weeks, with conditions favoring a broader system rather than isolated flurries though exact timing and totals depended heavily on how the moisture aligned.
This continues to be part of an ongoing research project testing how lunar phases interact with seasonal ingress charts in real time.
