Day – 10 of Garbottam 2015-16 – a case of mis-carriage!

The 10th day of Garbottam of 2015-2016 began after 5 PM on 7th January 2016 and ended after 5 PM on 8th January 2016.

The 195th day effect in my place of observation will be on 18th July 2016.

The corresponding fortnight will be from 23rdOctober to 6th November 2016.


The 10th day Garbottam comes with a Planetary war (Graha Yuddha) between Saturn and Venus. It started in the last quarter of the 10th day, that is, around noon of 8th January, 2016. It is going to last for the whole day of 11th day Garbottam.

These 2 days are crucial for Chennai and Tamilnadu as NE Monsoon must have been active at that time to bring rains to Tamilnadu.

But the astrological rule is that if there is a planetary war or an eclipse on any day of Garbottam, there will be “mis-carriage of pregnancy of clouds” and the corresponding fortnight will not get rains.

The corresponding fortnight (23rd October to 6th November) has Budha – Shukra Sameepyam that facilitates good rainfall. A good Garbottam on this 10th day would ensure good rainfall of that fortnight which is going to see Budha – Shukra Sameepyam.

But the Garbottam on this 10th day is disappointing. There is an additional deterrent in the form of planetary war.

The 10th day started with a red sun at the time of setting and bluish tinted fish like clouds floating above the sun and opposite to the sun. As night progressed, the sky became clear and stars were visible as pale discs. So far it is good.

But the morning sun rise was not accompanied with streaks of cloud as was in the previous day. But they did not form aquatic shapes or any recognisable shapes.


By 10 AM on 8th January 2016.

As the day progressed, clouds did not form in bulk but looked shattered by winds at their height. At the surface level, the wind was still but whenever it blew it was gentle. But the appearance of the clouds showed that they were blown away by some wind currents at their height. This was not so on other days.

This is how the clouds looked as day progressed.


At 1 PM

No aquatic forms were seen and for most part, the clouds could be seen shattered by upper level wind circulation.

The clouds did not glow with a halo that was noticed on the last 2 days. One important feature of Garbottam is that dense clouds must shine with a halo around them by reflecting the sun light.
Such clouds were seen on the 9th day (shown below):


This is a good Garbottam feature.

The dark clouds rushing to hide the Sun without losing their bulk was noticed on the 8th day which is shown below: 

This is also a good Garbottam feature.


In those days this happened after noon, that is, in the last quarter of the day.
Compare them with the 10th day’s clouds.



Sun with clouds at 1 PM.

A  little later this is how the clouds looked:


The clouds on this day (10th day) gave an appearance of having been blown away. This started from 10 AM when clouds were building up but distortions increased after noon. The time coincides with the start of the planetary war between Saturn and Venus. This feature is something which we will be checking in the corresponding fortnight.
.

Clouds at 3 PM – looking more vague


The observation of the 5 factors for day-10 are as follows:

(1) Wind:- Very less. Gentle breeze was felt at night very rarely. During the day the mild wind was hot and rare.
Result:-  Poor 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:-  Clouds were moving from North and North east, but they could not form as bulky ones. No aquatic forms could be noticed.
 Result:- Though the direction is good, the shattering away of clouds indicates ‘mis-carriage’ of Garbottam.


3-some features:-

(1) Terrestrial :- Behaviour of birds satisfactory,  but their movement is less, perhaps due to hotness.

(2) Atmospheric :- Of the 12 features noted in my blog on Garbottam, most of them were missing. Though there were clouds, they were not exactly dense or bulky nor they could form any shape, leave alone aquatic shape. They seem to be constantly dissipated as they form and cling together. However around the horizon, bluish tinted clouds were fused with the sky.

(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.

The red sun was the only redeeming feature.


Distorted clouds continued to exist after sun set on 8th January, showing that the "Miscarriage" of the fetes of clouds continued at the beginning of the 11th day.




Interpretation:-

195th day impact:-  Rainfall in the fortnight when the 195th day falls (18th July, 2016), will come to an end by the end of 18th July, because the 2nd part of the 10th day of Garbottam did not have Garbottam features.  (The fortnight between 5th July and 19th July will be wet as per the indications of 2nd day of Garbottam).

The impact in the corresponding fortnight (23rd October to 6th November 2016) in my place of observation:- It will start with rains or hopes of rains. The first few days will have rains but the rain clouds will be dissipated or shattered or driven to some other location away from my place of observation. The planetary war and weak Garbottam features for the second half of this fortnight discourage rainfall in my place of observation.

NE Monsoon:- NE Monsoon features in the Bay would be seen in the 2nd half of October. But they would not give the normal rainfall of this season. Though strong rainfall yoga exists at that time by way of Budha- Shukra Sameepyam, Venus is also moving closer to Saturn at that time while Mars will be ahead of a line up of planets.  This shows some violent formations but that could not give rains. Perhaps such formations would give rains to those places where good Garbottam features existed on this day (10th day).

It remains to be seen how the clouds on the day time of the 11th day are going to look like. But it is truly amazing that a planetary war coincided with weak Garbottam that saw clouds shattered true to the nature of “mis-carriage” of the fetes of the clouds.

Day-9 of Garbottam year 2015-16 – weaker than 8th day.

The 9th day of Garbottam of 2015-2016 began after 5 PM on 6th January 2016 and ended after 5 PM on 7th January 2016.

The 195th day effect in my place of observation will be from 3 AM on 16th July 2016 till the afternoon of 17th July 2016.

The corresponding fortnight will be from 10thOctober 2016 to 23rd October 2016.
                                                                                                                                                                 
10th October 2016 begins with deficit rainfall yogas or anavrishti yogas.

(1) Mars will be in Pooradam, the star that is crucial for water. And Mars, the fiery planet is in the lead with all the other planets towing behind it.

(2) Saturn is in front of Venus.

(3) There is no closeness between Mercury and Venus.

These show a dry spell or a retreat of Monsoon.


However there are some interesting combinations also at this time.

They are
(1) Mercury and Jupiter are conjunct which is a good rainfall yoga.

(2) Mercury has become combust as it comes within 14 degrees from the Sun. Mercury or Venus in combustion must give rainfall.

(3) In a couple of days after 10th October, Mercury will be directly behind the Sun while Venus continues to be in front of the Sun. Usually this line-up when it happens with Mercury and Venus within 30 degree span would be associated with good rainfall.  At this time in October, the Closeness between the two (Budha – Shukra sameepyam) is not there. So we have to see how this line-up works.

As Mars is in the lead with other planets behind it, there will be a tug of war like struggle between ativrishti and anavrishti rainfall yogas.

A logical conclusion from this will be that the SW Monsoon would have been almost over in most places. There will however be some places where rainfall will be occurring if Garbottam is helpful in those places. The 9th day of Garbottam will indicate whether such a rainfall trend will happen in Chennai and my place of observation.


The observation of the 5 factors for day-9 are as follows:

(1) Wind:- The previous day (8th day) ended with good breeze and pleasant twilight. The winds continued for some time. On the day time of 9th day (that is on 7th January) occasional pleasant winds continued after 10 AM. The winds were not as high as on the 8th day but very gentle.  The direction was from North east.
Result:- This is more than average factor for rainfall in the corresponding period as far as wind factor is concerned.

(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:-  The sky became clear at night (first half of 9th day). The morning twilight saw pinkish streaks of clouds formed as rows of small bunches of flowers. After a brief lull, whitish clouds were seen floating across the sky from North and North east while blue tinted clouds were occupying all around the horizon. I spotted a duck like cloud at around 9 AM.



Clouds were abundant especially from 10 AM onwards. They were mostly Culumus clouds.  By noon these clouds grew everywhere with their edges shining like a halo by Sun’s rays.



By 3 PM, it all changed and long streaks of blue tinted clouds were seen floating across. These clouds looked like fishes with convex shapes. Dark and white clouds were mixed across the sky. At the time of sunset, these long streaks and convex shaped ones were there in the opposite side of the sun giving an appearance as though fishes are swimming across the sea.



 Result:- Cumulus clouds are not features of good Garbottam whereas Cirrus clouds and long streaks of clouds are. The aquatic formation in the morning and evening hours are favourable for rainfall in the early and late night on the 195th day.


3-some features:-


(1) Terrestrial :- Behaviour of birds and animals satisfactory.

(2) Atmospheric :- Of the 12 features noted in my blog on Garbottam, (1) gentle breeze was there, though lesser than on the previous day (8th day). (2) Bulky clouds were there and scorched by the Sun. (3) Aquatic shaped clouds were less for most part, but convex shaped ones resembling fishes were seen in the late afternoon – in the last quarter of the day. (4) Wind direction was from the North and north east. (5) At times Sun was hidden behind clouds. (6) The evening after 4 PM was cool and pleasant (7) Sunset was pleasant and beautiful.

(3) Planetary:- (1) Planets and stars appeared pale. But I did not watch Saturn and Mars all these days. They must be clear and not hazy. If Saturn looks hazy that alone would be a powerful factor to bring famine conditions. But I guess it is not hazy as the atmosphere is clear and the stars are clear. (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:-

The 195th day impact:- The 9th day Garbottam was less in strength compared to the 8th day Garbottam. Therefore a continuation of night time rainfall of a lesser degree can be expected on 16th and 17th July. These dates coming in the fortnight corresponding to the 2nd day of Garbottam will be wet as the nature of 2nd day of Garbottam favours a wet fortnight.

Impact on the corresponding fortnight (10th October to 23rd October):- A short lull in the first half of this fortnight followed by rainfall in the 2nd half of the fortnight in my place of observation. The intensity will be less than that of the previous fortnight.

SW Monsoon:- As explained in the beginning of this article, contradictory combinations are there during the corresponding fortnight. SW Monsoon would have become weak as combinations for plentiful rainfall are not there. Whatever rainfall yogas are there, they will benefit a few places. From the 8th and 9th day Garbottam in my place of observation, Chennai and parts of Tamilnadu are likely to see rainfall in this fortnight.

In the upcoming fortnights, two dates are important. One is 27th October when the closeness between Mercury and Venus begins again that will last till the end of the year 2016. Going by past records, when this begins, it will trigger a season of rainfall. So the NE Monsoon will have to formally begin by October 27th.

The next date is 16th November 2016. From that day onwards, Mars, Saturn and Sun will start transiting in alternate signs until December 11th - the same combination that had given copious rains to Chennai in November – December 2015 and also in the past (discussed in 7th day of Garbottam).

This means the next 3 days (10th, 11th, 12th and 13th days of Garbottam must be good in my place of observation.  

However there is a hitch as Venus will be close to Saturn within 1 degree from 12 Noon tomorrow (8th January 2016) till 7 AM on 10th January.

This means Venus, an important planet for rainfall will be defeated in planetary war with Saturn.

(1) Saturn in front of Venus gives famine conditions. (2) A Planetary war on a day of Garbottam mars rainfall for several days in the corresponding fortnight.

Already the fortnight (10th October to 23rd October 2016) that is under scrutiny for this 9th day Garbottam has Saturn in front of Venus.

The corresponding date now in the Garbottam period also had Venus behind Saturn and getting defeated by Saturn for nearly 2 days which means 2 fortnights.

Will there be a hiatus in NE Monsoon due to this from 23rd October and 15th November?

Strong Garbottam on 10th, 11th  and 12th  days (from the noon of 8th January to the morning 7 AM of  10th January 2016) is going to be crucial for good NE Monsoon.

This will also be a good learning for us as we will know how the counter-acting astrological features must be judged.
