The 11th day of Garbottam of 2015-2016
began after 5.30 PM on 8th January
2016 and ended after 5.30 PM on 9th January 2016.
The 195th day effect
in my place of observation will be on 19th
July 2016.
The corresponding fortnight will be from 6thNovember 2016 to 19th
November 2016.
This 11th day is an important one as it
is the day of Purvashada (Pooradam). Moon
entered Purvashada around noon and is going to be there till noon on the 12th
day (10th January 2016). Uttrashada (utthradam) that comes after
this also is very important. In the month of Margazhi if the Garbottam signs
are good when Moon is transiting Purvashada and Utthrashada, there will be
abundant rains in the corresponding 195th day and it would even
continue for several days after that. But it all depends on good Garbottam
signs on the days Moon is crossing these stars.
By the time Moon entered Purvashada, Venus has
crossed Saturn and was forward to Saturn. Moon entered into conjunction with
Sun around 8 AM, a few hours before noon this day.
The change in the atmospherics was palpable from
noon.
Tracing the Garbottam signs from the beginning of
the 11th day, the night time of the 11th day was still
but cool. The stars were faint spots of white. The day broke with brightness
and less of reddishness at pre-dawn. This is a negative feature. The clouds
were found shattered in the morning, but by 8 AM, a few bunches of clouds were
seen swimming across here and there.
This cloud spotted at 8 AM could have formed into a
duck but, it’s very presence elated me as this sighting came nearly after 20
hours. For the past 20 hours, I could not spot any bulky one with some shape
resembling an aquatic animal even remotely.
Most clouds looked shattered like this only: (pic
below)
Long streaks of clouds are good but the long streaks
in this pic were in fact thin traces of clouds brushed away by wind. Not a
healthy Garbottam.
The following was taken just before noon.
It shows that clouds were indeed forming but not in
full strength.
By Noon I became curious and anxious too that I must
capture some favourable features. The clouds were not showing up in bulk and
with halo as it were on 8th and 9th days. The clouds seem
to have been scorched, but there were clouds around the sun.
The Sun looked different at 3 different times. But none of them could match the Sun with glowing clouds seen on 8th and 9th day.
The Sun at 11 AM
Is there are garland of halo around the Sun? Look at
the clouds. They were lacklustre. No glow on their borders.
The Sun at 1 PM
The Sun at 3 PM
Is there a huge halo around the Sun?
The sun with a glow and a halo is a good feature of
Garbottam.
At sun set the sun turned red and presented a
beautiful twilight.
The sky in the east opposite to the time of sunset
looked as follows:
Less bunches of clouds, but a mal-formed duck or
stork reflecting the western glow.
The day of Pooradam which must see active movement
of crowded clouds was disappointing. But the sky was not totally empty. Some
activity was there in the sky.
Relating this day to the 195th day which
falls on 19th July, the fortnight following 19th July
must see rains as per 3rd
day Garbottam. This gives me hope that tomorrow, (12th day) with
Utthradam would and must see good signs of Garbottam. And that is my last hope
too. For, we are left with only one day after that. The observation so far has
not shown a consistent and bountiful season of rains for my place of
observation. The next 2 days are going to see good planetary combinations for
rainfall. That must benefit my place of observation in the suburb of Chennai. That
is my prayer too.
The observation of the 5 factors for day-11 are as follows:
(1) Wind:- Gentle breeze
was felt often. The direction was from north
and east
Result:- Good feature of Garbottam
(2) Rain:- Nil.
Result:- Does not indicate rains in the said
period.
(3) Lightening:- Nil.
Result:- Does not indicate rains in the said
period.
(4) Thunder:- Nil.
Result:- Does not indicate rains in the said period.
(5) Clouds:- Bulky or
dense clouds were less and some were spotted after noon, that is, in the last
quarter of the day. But horizon was filled with bluish clouds. Clouds around
the sun were shattered or scorched. No glow around the clouds. Clouds looked
thin and brushed away. Vague aquatic forms were spotted after noon.
A vague image of stork sighted at 3 PM.
Result:- A fight between mis-carriage and recovery. Garbottam
features are average.
3-some features:-
(1) Terrestrial :- Behaviour
of birds satisfactory.
(2)
Atmospheric :- Of the 12 features noted in my blog on Garbottam,
(1) gentle breeze (2) Halo around the Sun (3) clouds near horizon looking blue
in colour.
(3) Planetary:- (1)
Planets and stars appeared pale. (2) Except Jupiter all the other planets were
in Southern declinations. Planets in northern declinations are desirable. (3)
Sun was red in colour at the time of sun set.
Interpretation:-
195th day impact:-
Not much rains can be expected though it may rain mildly at night time.
The impact on the corresponding
fortnight (6th November to 19th November) in my
place of observation:- There may be isolated rains in Chennai in the 2nd
half of the fortnight.
NE Monsoon:- On 6th November 2016, Moon will be
in Utthradam and aspects it own house, Cancer, a watery sign. Moon will be in
its own Navamsa at that time. It joins Mars which is also in Utthradam at that
time. Mars has by then moved to an alternate sign from Saturn. And Sun is going
to join Saturn on 16th November. That is the beginning of the month
of Karthigai. Until 11th December this combination is going to be
there. The past records show that this combination gives bountiful rains. With
Mars in the lead, cyclonic storms can be expected.
For rains in Chennai, the last 2 days of this year’s
Garbottam must be good. That is, it must be good from the evening of 9th
January to the evening of 11th January 2016.
Anyway NE Monsoon would be active elsewhere for the corresponding
2 fortnights.
