Glacier burst at Chamoli, Uttarakhand

 

A tragedy by deluge struck the higher Himalayan regions seven years after a similar tragedy by a cloudburst around the same region in Uttarakhand. Having studied the floods at Kedarnath, Mantralaya, Kerala, the meteorological causes and the astrological causes I am posting here the astrological combinations that existed at the time of the breaking up of the Himalayan glacier near Chamoli.

At the moment of writing this not much information was available except one from a tweet that tragedy struck at Raini village around 10-45 am (7^th Feb 2021)

Though we have been expecting some kind of escalation on 10^th and 11^th February due to the conjunction of five planets in Capricorn, a different combination occurred  today (7^th Feb) related to water. Moon crossed Ketu in the watery sign of Scorpio. In the rainy season, this crossing over is accompanied with a sudden spurt in rainfall or a landfall - both ensuring destruction. We see a similar tragedy by water in the non-rainy season.

The sign of cancer – a watery sign is receiving the direct aspect from the 5 planets transiting Capricorn, the 4^th aspect of Mars and the 11^th aspect of Rahu (Rahu and Ketu aspect the 3^rd sign on both sides of their location. Though there are other aspects, these two aspects are found to be effective in many case studies) Ketu is aspecting the 5 planet combination in Capricorn. 

Moon, the lord of Cancer was in another watery sign, namely Scorpio crossing Ketu at 3-45 am  this morning (7^th February). So that is the most likely time of the initial break of the glacier which cascaded as time went by. By 5-30 am the moon crossed Ketu completely. 

By 10-45 am the moon shifted to a watery Navamsa, namely Pisces, ensuring floods.

Now looking at the afflicted sign, i.e. Cancer, it is fortunately empty. If any planet is posited there receiving the aspects from almost all the planets, then the people signified by that planet would have borne the brunt. The sign being empty but the signifier being water, water related facilities and structures would be affected. The casualties are likely to be limited, with the moon moving out of Scorpio by 4-15 pm this evening.

Coming to the identification of the location impacted, the sign cancer stands or Northern direction. In the Kurma Chakra division of the places given in Brihat Samhita, the regions in East in North India that include Mithila, Kasi and Kosala come under the sign cancer. These regions, connected with the Himalayan Rivers are likely to see a rise in water level. The overall scenario is likely to be under control with limited casualties.

Let’s hope the next date of concern – 10^th and 11^th February - passes off without much hardships to the people. The likely areas to be affected are NW India and South India at that time.
