Rains galore as Earth transits Alpha
Orionis !
( The
background which you see is Betelguese, Alpha Orionis or Aridra ( Thiruvathira
)
Kerala Astrology has
a unique method of predicting weather cycles using the apparent solar transits
or the real Earth's transits of the Sidereal Zodiac.
This time Kerala has
got plenty of rains and we can hopefully expect a 4.5% agri growth. The
ancient astronomers of India used to say that rains will be in plenty during
the apparent solar transit of Alpha Orionis.
( Thiruvathira
Thiru Thakriti ).
There are seven major
Njattuvelas, in which good rains are expected. They are
Karthika
Rohini
Makriyam
Thiruvathira
Punartham
Pooyam
Ayilyam
Rains will be galore
during these transits of the Earth through the constellations of Eta Tauri to
Alpha Cancri. These transits occur from the 15th of May to the 15th of August.
There are many
sayings in Malayalam which deal with these rain procuring Njattuvelas.
Rains will be
incessant during Thiruvathira ( Thiri muriyathe peythu nirayunna
Thiruvathira )
You can spit even
before Deity during Thiruvathira ( Thiruvathirakku thiru muttathu thuppam
)
The waters of
Thiruvathira will be gorgeous ( Thiruvathira vellam thiruvonam kande pokoo
)
While other solar transits take 13.33 days, this time Thiruvathira is
the longest, taking 15 days, as the solar transit of Gemini ( Mithuna)
is 32 days.
The ancients believed that it was nectar that rained during Thiruvathira.
Every day's rain have medicinal value. The ancients used to store the Thiruvathira
rainwater and use it for Ayurvedic medicines. Maximum rains will be
there during this transit and the paddy fields will be overflowing ! "
101 rains, 101 sunlight ", " 7.5 rains, 7,5 sunlight " - Such
phrases point out to the 50:50 proportion of rainy and sunny interludes which
grace Thiruvathira.
The Njattuvela
before Karthika, is good for digging wells. The wells dug during the Karthika
Njattuvela ( when the Sun transits the Pleiades ), will be everlasting as
their water will not dry up. ( Karthika kalil kakkakalu nananjal
mukkathil mukkum
).
The seeds planted
after Rohini Njattuvela ( Alpha Tauri ) need only little care. ( Rohinikappuram
vitha kuruchu mathi ). Meaning you can get the fruits effortlessly.
Heavy rains will lash
during the Earth's transit of Lamda Orionis ( Makirythil Mazha Madhichu ).
Fierce rains to be
expected during the Earth's tranist of Beta Geminorum ( Punarthathil
pulappikkunna mazha ) ( Punartha thadiyan poozhi therippikkum ). (
Punarthathil poozhan keruka ).
Good rains also
during the Earth's transit olf Delta Cancri ( Pooyathil pothumpurahtum
nellu ). ( Pooyathil mazha peythal pullum nellu ).
Unexpected rains
during the Earth's transit of Alpha Cancri ( Ayilya kallan akatho puratho
). The day may look bright and sunny and there will be unexpected
downpours catching you unawares.
The Njattuvelas are
good if they are born at night. The birth of ten Njattuvelas during daytime
is considered to be inauspicious. ( Pathu Njattuvela pirannal palem kuthi
erakkum ). If the Monsoon fails, if the Njattuvelas fail, there
wil be famine and drought !
The major Four
Seasons of the Western System ( spring, summer, autumn and winter ) and the
six seasons of the Indian system ( vasanta, greeshma, varsha, sharat,
hemanta, sisira ) are caused by the apparent solar transits or the real
Earth's transits of the Constellational Zodiac. To the seeker of
Absolute Truth, the Njattuvelas are more comprehensive and minute and
is worth studying, to understand Weather Cycles !
