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.

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.
