For weather-nerds (like me)--- this column is a lucid, in-depth, and entertaining discussion about what we might expect for the final third of the hurricane season. I love the way this guy writes:

Odette is gone and Peter has formed. Peter is forecast to remain at sea, but he is still pretty far out there so the forecast could change.
@lovendures My favorite line from the article:
"Much like the acting style of its namesake Nic Cage, Nicholas was uncomfortably intense and disregarded norms of personal space as it intensified to Category 1 hurricane strength just off the Texas coast late Monday."
Rose just joined the party.
And the NHS forecasts that the remnants of Odette will start moving *southward* and possibly "regain tropical...characteristics". Maybe we're not done with Odette?
I threw 3 cards earlier this week in response to the question of what the rest of hurricane season has in store for us ("us" can mean anyone living in the potential path of an Atlantic hurricane). I used the Thoth deck, and here is what I got, from left to right:
- 18 Trumps (the Moon): We are on a path to a more beautiful world/unity consciousness/quantum leap, but we have to pass through obstacles to reach our yearned-for destination. Powerful hurricanes and extreme weather in general are part of the gauntlet.
- 14 Trumps (Art): The storms we have to deal with are of our own making. This is partly because more powerful storms are a product of emitting greenhouse gases. But we are also psychically fueling more powerful hurricanes with tribalism, demonization of "the other," and our inability to recognize our own darkness. The injunction here is that we can use this time to integrate our shadows (and get somewhat less destructive storms in the future in the process).
- 2 of Wands (Dominion): This card felt really oppressive to me at first, and I thought it symbolized the anger and fiery energy of some of the hurricanes we will be seeing. I think that's still true, but the 2 of Wands also speaks to how we as individuals can be much more focused on our spiritual growth once we've passed through the crucible of hurricane season. The energy that will be available will infuse us with lots of fiery commitment to our goals if we allow it.
This appeared to be an intimidating spread at first, but closer examination made it less so. I just let the cards tell a story and don't assign any specific role based on each card's position.
BTW, based on the cards I threw and my analytical ponderings, I think there will be at least 1 more storm this season who's name will be retired. There may also be a few major hurricanes that never make landfall.
@ana I loved that weather article you posted. So much uncertainty in it. But interesting how he explained that October is usually the worst month. When we meditated for the future along a timeline last June, I had seen the worst storm in October, and it was hitting South Florida on both coasts. Tonight I tried throwing cards on it, but the psyche doesn't like it when we ask the same question twice. Keeping fingers crossed that we've seen the worst of the hurricane season already.
