Good Garbottam on Rohini star today – rainfall on 29th & 30th July 2016.

The overall Garbottam for the rainy season June to December 2016 was already noted down as separate blogs one for each day of the 13 day period. This pertains to the entire rainfall season of 2016 starting from June with each day signifying a fortnight. Garbottam for 2016 shows that the rainfall season would start from 21^st June, 2016.

Though this observation period ended on 11^th January 2016, the observation for Garbottam features must be done on a daily basis until the end of Vaikasi month. Each day would correspond to the 195^th day which is identified as the thithi in the reverse phase of the moon (Paksha) that occurs after 6 and a half months.

I am planning to write down the daily observation and its impact on rainfall at a later date, for every fortnight starting from January 1^st 2016. In a day or two I will be posting the 1^st half of January with its corresponding period in July 2016. In the meantime, whenever I am coming across an interesting observation, I will write them also.

As of now what has caught my interest is the conformation of rainfall in the dates that correspond to the 3rd day of Garbottam. Of all the 13 days of this year’s Garbottam, only the 3^rd day stood out with impressive features which can be read in the link to 3^rd day Garbottam. The impact period of this 3^rd day would be from 19^th July to 2^nd August 2016. The interpretation of that day written in that blog was as follows:

“The period between 19^th July and 2^nd August would see wet days with occasional rainfall here and there in my place of observation.”

Further confirmation must be got from the dates that correspond to this fortnight in July- August as mentioned above. At present we are passing through the corresponding prior dates for this period from 19^th July to 2^nd August 2016. The corresponding dates started from 9^th January 2016 and would end on 23^rd January 2016.

The 3^rd day of Garbottam started with moderate features but by the 2^nd half of the day (in the day time), the Garbottam features picked up. By this, it is inferred that rainfall for the period between 19^th July and 2^nd August would be bright in the 2^nd half of the fortnight. The Garbottam feature in the corresponding dates starting from 9^th January was modest or even nil until 12^th January 2016. It started picking up from the 13^th January and reached its peak on 19^th and 20^th January 2016.

In  my blog written on 14^th January (Fine Garbottam on 13th January 2016 & naalaam pirai -நாலாம் பிறை- Impact on 23rd July 2016.) I wrote that the Garbottam on 13^th January which happened to have moon cross the star Sathabhishak (Sadhayam) must yield good rainfall for 8 days from the corresponding 195^th day. It was because if the Garbottam features are found good on the day of Sadhayam in the month of Margazhi, it would rain well for 8 days from the corresponding 195^th day. So I wrote in that blog “That means upcoming days for a week or 10 days must exhibit good Garbottam features.” Starting from 13^th January till the time this current article in written on the night of 20^th January, the Garbottam features are continuing well. This is further confirmation of the good Garbottam of the 3^rd day and how Nature drives itself.

In this prior corresponding period between 9^th January and 23^rd January, 3 important dates came.

The first one was on 13^th January when Sadhayam was running. It had good Garbottam features ensuring abundant rainfall on 23^rd July 2016.

The 2^nd important date was on 15^th January when Uttra Bhadrapada (Uttrattadhi) star was running. That date also had good Garbottam features. Moreover if the Garbottam is good on Uttrattadhi, the 195^th day would see abundant rainfall. That date is 25^th July 2016.

The 3^rd important date is 20^th January when Rohini was running. Rohini is one among the 5 stars when Garbottam must be good to ensure abundant rainfall on the 195^th day. The other 4 stars are Pooradam, Uttradam, Poorattadhi and Uttrattadhi.

Even from 19^th January onwards when Kriithika star was running, very good Garbottam features started.

Those features are

·         overcast sky,

·         sun often hidden by dark clouds,

·         clouds in aquatic forms and glowing with a halo in sunlight,

·         gentle breeze,

·         gentle showers or drizzle

·         Moon hidden by clouds.

·         Foggy morning as the month is Thai.

The corresponding dates for rainfall are 29^th and 30^th July 2016.

Once again a good Garbottam day)

According to reports some parts of overcast Chennai and Bangalore received drizzles or mild rainfall on 19^th and 20^th January (Rohini day). It is an additional good feature of good Garbottam. Those places would receive abundant rainfall on 29^th and 30^th July 2016. But if the rainfall on this day of Garbottam (19^th or 20^th January) is heavy, there won’t be rains on the corresponding dates on 29^th and 30^th July 2016.

As per the 3^rd day of Garbottam, the current cloud cover and good Garbottam features would not last beyond 23^rd January as the succeeding period of Garbottam day (4^th day) did not show rainfall for the fortnight starting from 2^nd August. Let is wait and see whether prior Garbottam features become absent after 23^rd January 2016.  

Additional caution in observing Garbottam: There should not be any planetary war on the days of Garbottam. In the current period of good cloud cover and good Garbottam starting from 13^th January, there is no planetary war. Planetary war means two planets coming together within 1 degree gap.

Another caution is that there should be no eclipse on the day of good Garbottam. In the current period both these issues were absent. Therefore the corresponding dates must see good rainfall.
