Heliocentric Mechanics, Astrometeorology, and Mundane Forecasting. This archival document is Issue No. 3 (Lammas / Mid Leo 1987) of the Heliogram, published by the NCGR Helio S.I.G.. The issue heavily features technical methodologies for integrating geocentric and heliocentric data, alongside rigorous mundane weather tracking. Key contributions include J. Lee Lehman’s statistical exploration of the differences between Geo Mercury (thinking) and Helio Mercury (communicating), Michael Erlewine’s structural breakdown of Helio Archetypes (Yin/Yang, Trine/T-Square), and T. Pat Davis’s mundane analysis of Senator Joseph McCarthy and Queen Elizabeth I. Additional features include Margaret Meister’s retrospective analysis of the 1947 Texas City Explosion, Dot Willis’s weather forecasting for the Autumnal Equinox and late-1987 eclipses, and a spirited debate between NCGR Research Director Michael P. Munkasey and Edith Custer regarding the astronomical logic of mixing heliocentric planets with geocentric house systems.
