Astro-meteorology featured in radio interview

Raffy Reyes, JP Rodrigo and Resti Santiago
On September 12, Astrology Friends Philippines was invited by RX93 Monster Radio to talk about the astrology of the floodings, bombings and protests that have been recently plaguing the Philippines.

Resti H. Santiago is a regular guest of Raffy Reyes at the beginning of the year on the show "Heard On Thursdays" (HOT), wherein he shares his forecasts for the upcoming year. Several storms and the "EDSA standtill" that occurred on September 10 prompted Raffy Reyes to request for a review of the astrological influences that are currently affecting  us.

Resti H. Santiago was accompanied by JP Rodrigo, who is becoming Astro Friend's official spokesperson. JP talked about the recent activities of Astrology Friends Philippines and invited everyone to visit our blog.

JP has been studying astrology for two years and he advises newbies to read up on Greek mythology as it helped him understand the meaning of the planets faster.

RX listeners are always the first to hear about Resti Santiuago's astro-meteorological forecast and Raffy Reyes was impressed that the predictions for the year has been quite accurate. Take for instance the two weather disturbances "Dante" and "Gorio."

According to Wikipedia's list of typhoons inthe Pacific region, tropical storm Dante was active from June 6 - June 12 while the severe tropical storm Gorio was active from June 27-July 2.

Now, lets look at Santiago's astro- meteorological forecast. He wrote in his book Medieval Astro-clock 2013 that on June 8 (plus or minus 7 days) and July  2 (plus or minus  7 days) there would be a major typhoon factor. Even without the 7 day allowance, which he termed as "orb of influence" the forecasts were spot on.

Astro-meteorological Forecast for 4Q 2013,
add an average of 4-7 days for each
projected date for typhoons.
From Medieval Astro-clock 2013.
What does this imply? Santiago was objective enough to admit that his astro-meteorological work does not have to be in conflict with meteorology. In fact, he insisted that it would be wise to combine astro-meteorology and the weather forecast from meteorologist because astro-meteorology works better when looking at a particular date from a distance, months or a year in advance.

Meteorological forecasts gets more accurate and specific as the meteorological event unfolds. For example, he stated that when scheduling an important event such as an outdoor wedding or a plane flight his astro-meteorology is very useful in determining the good or the bad periods.

Because you plan about these things months or event a year ahead when the specific weather forecasts are still inconclusive. On the other hand, while the  week wherein rains or typhoons can be forecasted from astrology, as he has been showing for the past three years, where exactly in the Philippines and how much rain it will bring is currently beyond the scope of astro-meteorology.

The people can be more alert when they know beforehand that weather disturbances are coming and as it forms they can tune in to weather reports to know the details.

Balatik, Filipino hunting trap inspired by Orion: On reading about Philippine pre-colonial astronomy

By Col. Romeo Solina, PA, retired Col. Romy Solina and his BALATIK diorama A few weeks ago, “Resti” Santiago, an astrologer friend, sent me a book entitled “BALATIK.” It is a book written by a University of the Philippines professor Dante L. Ambrosio, and subtitled “Etnoastronomiya, Kalangitan sa Kabihasnang Pilipino” and obviously in the Tagalog (Filipino) language. Although I was born in Manila and an a Tagalog, I found it rather a problem reading the contents of the book. Still, I must go over it since I must be knowledgeable in my own native language. On the other hand, the author must have a doctorate, having gone through the baccalaureate and master degrees to be able to write this treatise in the university as I also have gone through. The Balatik book concerns the methods used by the natives of the Philippines using the signs in the skies in order to determine certain seasons for their activities, such as fishing, sailing, hunting, planting, harvesting, and so on. ...

Francisco Moreno Damagoso's Chart

By Frederick Mallari Francisco Moreno Domagoso, known professionally as Isko Moreno and more fondly known as Yorme Isko, was born on Oct 24,1974 in Tondo, Manila.    The rags-to-riches story of Domagoso is like a fairy tale story. He was a former scavenger and pedicab driver from the slums of Tondo. Domagoso defeated former Manila Mayors - Former President Joseph Estrada and Alfredo Lim - with a landslide victory of 357,925 votes - more than the numbers of Estrada and Lim combined. Sun in Scorpio Scorpio is the sign of extremes. With Domagoso's natal Sun in Scorpio, he tends to be an extremist in everything that he does; he tends to be an all or nothing type of person. He is very passionate in every cause he believes in, and there is a strong need to be emotionally involved in these causes in order for him to feel fulfilled. Because his actions are passionately and emotionally charged, he can be ruthless in promoting these causes. This ruthlessness mak...

WILL BBM BE PRESIDENT?

  Bongbong Marcos. Image from Wikipedia By Carlota Elauria With contribution of Derrick Jan Lim June 7, 2018   Bongbong Marcos has been in the public eye in recent times, most prominently due to the controversy surrounding his highly-disputed loss in the race for Vice President of the Philippines in the 2016 Elections. With the petition still pending in the Supreme Court, his fate currently hangs in the balance. However, another burning question looms beyond the horizon: will BBM one day sit in Malacanang Palace, under the seal of President of the Philippines? His supporters might beam in hope and anticipation at the thought, while his detractors might yell “nay!” in fear and trepidation. To answer this question, we delve into the study of his natal chart, the transiting planets, and his career history. Upon such investigation, the authors have divided the possibilities into three periods: (1) the present until 2022 via President Duterte’s term; (2) the 2022-2028 Pre...
