Heliocentric Astrology, Astrometeorology, and Astrological History. This archival document is the inaugural Candlemas / Ground Hog Day 1987 Issue of the Heliogram, the official newsletter of the NCGR Helio Special Interest Group (S.I.G.) edited by Margaret M. Meister. The issue establishes the group’s mission to encourage the everyday use of heliocentric planetary positions and features foundational essays on the history and validity of the heliocentric perspective. Key contributions include J. Lee Lehman’s historical trace of heliocentric concepts from ancient Greece, Phillip Sedgwick’s philosophical essay on the paradigm shifts required to embrace heliocentricism, and Dot Willis’s detailed astrometeorological forecasts using heliocentric alignments to predict extreme weather and seismic events for the 1987 Vernal Equinox and eclipses. Additional features include Edith Custer’s “Custer Corner” discussing Sylvester Stallone’s chart and Supermoon flooding, along with T. Pat Davis advocating for the commercial and analytical integration of helio coordinates.
