Why is there Torrential Rain when El Nino usually means a higher chance of Hot, Dry Conditions?
At this time, Neptune at 28 degrees in Pisces is making a strong bee-line for the 29th degree of its watery home sign, and almost the entire east coast of Australia is under heavy, record breaking torrential rain, flooding and dam spills, so what is going on? We see GREAT CONTRADICTION in the world climate in recent years, with some parts of the world in a deluge of rain with dams overflowing, when there are severe drought or bushfires in other parts, or severe natural disasters, like earthquakes, landslides etc. This article is not meant as scaremongering, it just looks at some of the hard facts, confusing facts, and the seemingly strange synchronicities…
Recently, weather bureaus and weather prediction in general also just kept getting it painfully wrong, and they likely will for some years to come, with Neptune in the third decan and hovering around the 29th degree of its home sign Pisces until January 2026, before it permanently leaves for Aries. Then there is also Uranus is in Taurus, which in astrology is associated with an extreme drying effect, that has entered the third decan of Taurus, and is under a Hammer of Thor aspect pattern apex with MakeMake in Libra square Quaoar… Uranus leaves Taurus in 2026, but before then, expect to see some increase in earthquakes as it moves closer in orb to be under the direct apex of that hammer... Then there is Gonggong, which is associated with massive natural disasters, which is under a Yod apex with Varuna in Leo sextile MakeMake in Libra… This astrologer eventually decided to write this article, after another, and yet another video report comes criticising weather prediction agencies for getting it completely and utterly wrong. Clearly, even if people did understand astrological influence, they can hardly discuss it on the 6pm news…
We are at a moment in time, when many of the outer planets, like Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto spend time in the 29th degree of a zodiac sign, and cross over into a new zodiac sign. The same can be said for trans-Neptunian objects, like Sedna, Haumea, Varda etc. This is a time of profound change.
This article looks at some of the extremes as it pertains to the videos below, and how these strange climatic events are actually reflected in the astrology, as it pertains to the most notable trans-Neptunian objects…
This astrologer does not claim to understand how weather prediction or the El Nino in cycles works, but some of the recurring events, as it relates to astrological influence, is pretty clear.
Transit Neptune in the 29th Degree in Pisces
Neptune will visit 29 degrees Pisces for the first time early May 2024, to stay there until early September 2024. In March 2025 Neptune re-enters the 29th degree including its first toe dip into new zodiac sign Aries. Neptune enters the 29th degree again in October 2025, for it to finally leave in January 2026.
We are seeing an astonishing amount of outer planets, and trans-Neptunian planets move into new zodiac signs at this time. This entails a massive shift of energy as these planets and objects move through the crisis or anarectic degree of their respective signs, which entail massive societal changes, because at the end of a zodiac sign, these objects revisit the worse characteristics of the planet/object and signs, and asks for the issues at hand to be dealt with. See the image to the right for a visual glimps into the timeframe / period that these planets/objects traverse the 29th degree of their signs. It’s a beautiful synchronised dance, that entails these objects making potent aspect patterns, like the four yods and multiple hammer of Thor aspect patterns, as well as the visual five pointed star in the astrological sky, see the 2024 charts below. Various articles on this website describe these dynamics for free, in great detail, thus this information is not discussed here.
Lately, the Australian Weather Bureau seems to have had a devil of a difficulty making accurate weather predictions, and farmers have been angry as hell at the result of the effects of the disastrously inaccurate predictions for them.
Why has it been both very wet and very dry in many part of the world? Astrology has some of the answers.
Overview of Massive Rain Events Associated with Neptune in Pisces
Neptune first entered its home sign Pisces in April 2011, and we have seen significant rainfall events in Australia, especially when Jupiter and Venus conjunct Neptune in Pisces around February - April 2022, called the 2022 Eastern Australia Floods, which was one of Australia’s most expensive floods. Neptune will leave home sign Pisces and the critical 29th degree for the last time in January 2026… but before then, expect a lot more rain, for the anarectic degree is likely to entail more deluge and sensitivity by nature… Neptune was at 28 degrees Pisces at the publication of this article.
Multiple articles in the Gonggong blog has already looked extensively at the kind of ‘once in a century’ disasters, that include excessive floods, rain, and water saturated soils in general, that cause landslides, as Neptune and trans-Neptunian object Gonggong have both been at play during the same disastrous events. Many of the Gonggong articles focussed on the detailed astrological significance as it pertains to some of Brisbane, and also Queensland, and New South Wale’s Australia’s biggest flood disasters. This article, will look a bit bigger at what is going on with Neptune’s influence…
Australians are used to flash flooding as this video shows, however, some years are much worse than others, and there are patterns repeating in the astrology that coincides with these…
Neptune in Pisces
Neptune Enter Pisces April 2011
2010 was recorded as the state of Queensland, Australia’s wettest spring since 1900, and the Australian continent's third-wettest year, which is interesting as Neptune first moved into Pisces in April 2011, its watery home sign, while conjunct Gonggong and Chiron, and most astrologers know what that means… lots of water issues… and conjunct Gonggong… watery disaster…
Curiously, Neptune had still been in Aquarius in 2010, but in the last decan, in the last degrees. Here it is important to note that Aquarius, the sign of the water bearer, is an air sign, but it is important to remember that it is also the sign of ‘water in the air’… Since then, similar flooding disasters took place in Queensland, like the 2022 disaster, and now more towards the end of 2023 and early 2024.
According to Wikipedia, flooding was widespread across Queensland and New South Wales from the end of December 2010 to January 2011 with several separate rain events causing rivers to rise over a lengthy period. The floods forced the evacuation of thousands of people from towns and cities. At least 90 towns and over 200,000 people were affected. Damage initially was estimated at A$1 billion before it was raised to $2.38 billion. The estimated reduction in Australia's GDP is about A$30 billion. As of March 2012, there were 33 deaths attributed to the floods, with a further three people still missing. Three-quarters of the council areas within the state of Queensland were declared disaster zones. In January - March 2011, Haumea in Libra squared Varuna in Cancer, making a Hammer of Thor apex on Gonggong in Pisces conjunct Chiron and Neptune, which is why this rain event is not only due to Neptune newly arrived in Pisces.
2022 Eastern Australia Floods Floods Under the Gonggong Yod and Jupiter conjunct Neptune in Pisces
Neptune was in its home sign Pisces, however, in traditional astrology, Jupiter is also ruled by Pisces, therefore this remarkable event was doubly significant…
Wikipedia details a series of floods called the 2022 Eastern Australia Floods with the worst being between 23 February - 7 April 2022. In Brisbane 177 suburbs were impacted with more than 23,000 homes inundated, but the greatest impact and damage was throughout South-east Queensland. It was one of the nation's worst recorded flood disasters with a series of floods that occurred from late February to early May in South East Queensland, the Wide Bay–Burnett and parts of coastal New South Wales. Brisbane suffered major flooding, along with the cities of Maryborough, Gympie, the Sunshine Coast, Caboolture, Toowoomba, Gatton, Ipswich, Logan City, the Gold Coast, Murwillumbah, Mullumbimby, Grafton, Byron Bay, Ballina, Lismore, the Central Coast and parts of Sydney.
The astrology around April 2022 was rather remarkable and special, with the Venus, Jupiter and Neptune conjunction in Pisces and the five pointed star in the astrological sky made by four yods, as the gallery indicates.
Australia’s Most Expensive Floods 2019-2022 and Planets in the 15 degrees Midpoint of its Zodiac Sign
In 2018 and 2019, the planet Neptune reached its MIDPOINT of 15 degrees in Pisces, which usually accompany a heightened version of the kind of events associated with the planet and the zodiac sign its in, Pisces. If you observe trans-personal planets (and trans-Neptunian objects) and how they behave when they are in this 15 degrees midpoint, you will be surprised.
This article shows data of Australia’s most expensive floods, dated 23 February 2023, and the image below is a snapshot. This happened as Neptune was in home sign Pisces, conjunct Neptune, while Gonggong was at the apex of the Gonggong Yod.
At the heart of Gonggong energy, there seems to be a high sensitivity and orientation towards situations of uncertainty, that is rooted in an ongoing, big picture process where the final result is very difficult to predict, control, mitigate or handle appropriately when at disaster level, see the Gonggong Blog for more.
Neptune 29th Degrees Pisces, Anarectic Degree and Domocile
Like Neptune were in it’s midpoint in Pisces in 2018-2019, a planet in the very last degree of a sign also tend to express in a particular way…

Neptune in Pisces enters 29 degrees of Pisces in May 2024 (for four months), and due to retrograde motion, again in October 2025 (for three months), leaving for the final time in January 2026. Neptune is in its domocile (home sign) of Pisces where its energy and expression is very strong. With it moving in an out of the critical degree around the same time as the Eris square Chiron in Aries starts by wide conjunction, which is an activation, we are likely to see an increase the sensitivity, a challenge to reality, and feeling of emotional and psychic overwhelm. Also a desire to escape into fantasy due to feeling pain…
Pluto and Neptune will both be moving in and out of in the critical degrees, contributing to people perhaps feeling emotional and mentally destabilised… Sedna is currently in the 29th degree of Taurus for the very last time, and also has themes of great material loss. Sedna finally leaves the 29th degree of Taurus the bull, for her long stay in Gemini from April 2024 to 2067, for four decades. All of these entail massive shifts in consciousness.
The North Node of Fate will traverse into Pisces in January 2025, indicating that during this year long time in Pisces, having compassion for ourselves and others will be very needed and beneficial.
When a planet is at the final degree of a zodiac sign, it’s called an anarectic-, crucial-, critical degree, or “degree of fate”.
The issues at play take a desperate expression to solve the Neptunian crises at hand. There is this feeling of urgency with 29 degree planets, as if time is running out. To mature. To make it. It’s the peak in completing an important phase in the human collective, (before switching to the next sign of Aries)
“It wouldn’t be wrong to define 29° as the “test degree” or “the degree of mastery”, “the gift”.
Anaretic degree and Nodes have similarities, both of them are related with fate, there will be situations to be examined, solved and win through. If the person does not learn what he has to learn, he will definitely experience some sort of crisis; but if he has, he will continue from this “peak” and accomplish a fateful mission. Therefore, just like the difficulties and patterns start to resolve easier in our lives, when we fully understand and continue our path through our North Nodes; the planets, cusps, and even asteroids in 29° are the indicators of where the “change” and the “transformation” will occur in our lives.”
Australia is a large continent of extremes, and flooding is the country’s second most deadly natural disaster.
According to this video, flooding and severe thunderstorms continue to inundate homes and threaten the lives of many in south east Queensland. As little as 5 millimetres of rain in the space of 10 minutes can cause flash flooding, in which dry land is completely immersed in water. A severe storm can strike a hill or mountain nearby and send water running rapidly downhill towards towns and residential areas. Close to half of flood deaths occur in a vehicle, which means flash flooding can catch people off guard when they are on the road.
Neptune in Astrology and Metaphysics in Brief
.jpg){kind=link}
It is from understanding Neptune, that one understands the trans-Neptunian objects and other objects like Sedna.
Neptune is the planet of the unseen, subtle, intangible and ethereal. It’s spirituality, inspiration, imagination, inner knowing, compassion, empathy, receptivity, awareness, heightened perceptions, and divine creativity. It’s the waters of diligent kindness, empathy, understanding and compassion.
However, when a slow moving planet, like Neptune, Pluto and object Sedna are in the very last degree of a zodiac sign, it tends to bring forth the negative qualities of that zodiac sign more strongly… and overcoming them…
This is not meant as scaremongering though as the trans-Neptunian objects bring hope, change, expanded thinking, soul purpose, and quantum leaps into our consciousness. Be aware, be kind and considerate of others, and don’t add to another’s burdens.
Take care of your Self, as the divine having a human experience that you are.
