Record Temperatures in Los Angeles

Los Angeles logged a record peak in temperature for this day ever since 1877 when temperatures started being recorded.

Record Heat Los Angeles
Sept. 27, 2010 12:15 pm

Sun 5 Libra Moon 25 Taurus; ASC 13 Sagittarius; MC 27 Virgo; NN 8 Capricorn

The last hottest day was:
June 26, 1990 Time?

Sun 5 Cancer; Moon 29 Leo; ASC ???? At 12:15 26 Virgo was Rising; NN 10 Aquarius

Look at the Suns! They are both a 5 Cardinal. That must mean something, right? It's right after a Solstice/Equinox.

Mercury in both charts is in the sign that it rules and is elevated in both charts up near the Midheaven. Mars is also in sign of its rulership if you include the old style rulerships. Today it is in Scorpio conjunct Venus. In 1990 it was in Aries.

And since these temperatures occur 20 years apart I thought I'd look for Jupiter-Saturn contacts since that's a 20 year cycle. Jupiter is vaguely opposing Saturn within larger outer planet oppositions which take place right on the 4th-10th House Axis:

1990: At Noon these planets were in the 4th House: Uranus 8 Capricorn c. Neptune 14 Capricorn, Saturn 24 Capricorn opposing these planets in the 10th HOuse: Jupiter 19 Cancer c. Chiron 18 Cancer with Sun 4 Cancer c. Mercury 28 Gemini

2010: At 12:15 pm these planets were in the 4th House: Jupiter 28 Pisces c. Uranus 29 Pisces opposing these planets in the 10th House: well, Mercury 20 Vrigo (H9) Sun 5 libra c. Saturn 8 Libra and squaring Pluto-NN (3 & 8 Capricorn) in the 1st House.

Not only do we have a Jupiter-Saturn opposition here, but there is also a Sun-Uranus opposition. For heat you want to look at the planets which rule Fire, these are Sun, Mars and Jupiter. Of these, Sun and Jupiter are both prominent on the 4th-10th House axis. Mars is in signs that it rules Aries and Scorpio. (It is apex of a t-square in the 7th House in 1990 and is in the 11th House conjunct Venus in today's chart. That gives it some sort of connection with Venus/Libra but that's probably irrelevant info)

Moon is in Fixed Signs in both charts. You expect some stubbornness for anything record breaking.

Today's chart is lacking planets in Fire but 1990's chart has Moon and Mars in Fire Signs. Just thought I'd look that up to see if anything in particular turns up the thermostat.

Saturn/Capricorn could be related to anything record breaking. Today we have Pluto-NN in Capricorn squaring Saturn-Sun in H10. In 1990 Uranus-Neptune were in Conjunction in Capricorn along with Saturn later on in the sign. All placed down in the 4th house. Capricorn, though, is a cold sign, so I don't get it.

Mercury and Jupiter are prominent as chart rulers. Jupiter's a Fire planet that does everything in excess so I guess that makes sense. Perhaps Mercury's prominence is just connected to thermometers and recorded temperatures.

There were huge riots in Los Angeles in 1992. And the big Northridge Earthquake occurred in 1994.
