Stephen Martin Saxby (21 August 1804 – 11 March 1883)^[1] was a British practitioner of a form of meteorological astrology or Pseudo Meteorology in the Victorian Era. Through his calculations he predicted an 1869 storm called the Saxby Gale.^[2] Saxby also published a book in 1864 called the Saxby Weather system that taught his methods of Astrological Meteorology. He also distributed lists of days when atmospheric disturbances would occur that were given to sailors of that era so they could anticipate approaching storms. Saxby's Astrological Meteorological methods have inspired others who predict weather using astrology including Ken Ring of New Zealand.
