Yesterday, rains hit the southern districts of Kerala. But no rain in Trichur or adjoining areas. <\/p>\n

The truth of Global Warming has hit me. Also Climate Change. Also the World Water Crisis !<\/p>\n

Rains are rare, even in Kerala, a state fashioned by the rains, where the landscape architecture is done by Nature Herself !<\/p>\n

Venus, the watery planet, moves over to Gemini, to the 12th in India\u2019s horoscope. It augurs rains, but how much ?<\/p>\n

The hot sidereal months of Kumbham( Aquarius ) and Meenam ( Pisces ) are normal in Kerala. Now we are facing Meda choodu ( the heat waves of Aries ) and there will some reduction of heat when Edavam ( Taurus ) takes over, from 15th May.<\/p>\n

Astrologically, Edava Pathi, the last 15 days of the Sun traversing Taurus, is full of rains. Last years, rains were less even in Edava Pathi.<\/p>\n

Kerala, normally, is blessed by two rainy seasons, Edava Pathi ( the last half of Taurus ) and Thula Varsham ( when the Sun traverses the 30 degrees of Libra ). Kerala receives rains thrice the national average.<\/p>\n

Fierce rains characterise Thiruvathira Jnattuvela, when the Sun traverses the constellation of Aridra, for 14 days and Punartham Jnattuvela, when the Sun traverses the constellation of Punarvasu, for 14 days. Also Makiryam Jnattuvela, when the Sun traverses the constellation of Mrigasira. <\/p>\n

Now Kerala has more or less a semi arid, parched look. The rains can change all that. But Global Warming has affected Kerala. Climate Change has already occurred. Water Crisis is here to stay !<\/p>\n

The Vedic seers gave prime importance to rains. This is indicated by their prayer<\/p>\n

May there be plenty of rains and may the earth become fertile.<\/p>\n

( Kale Varshe thu parjanya Prithvi Shasya Shalinee ).<\/p>\n

Tomorrow ( 15\/05\/2010), the Sun moves over to Taurus, thus ending the summer season of Kerala. The summer season is more or less from Dhanus ( Sagittarius ) to Mesha ( Aries ). These five months are reasonably hot. Kumbham ( Aquarius ) and Meenam ( Pisces ) are very hot. Now Mesha ( Aries ) has also become very hot due to Global Warming and Climate Change.<\/p>\n

From Edavam ( Taurus ) to Vrischika ( Scorpio ), we have relatively less hot months. Rains are severe during Edava ( Taurus ), Mithuna ( Gemini ) and Kataka ( Cancer ). Then rains become less during the months of Simha ( Leo ) and Kanya ( Virgo ), but still there will be intermittent rains. Rains peak again during Thula ( Libra ) and moderate rains will be there during Vrischika ( Scorpio ) till the summer season takes over. <\/p>\n

There are the seasonal cycles of Kerala but then Global Warming and Climate Change are changing all seasons !<\/p>\n

Indian Farmers do the planting basing on the Vedic Astronomical Calender. The knowledge of sowing and reaping. Such a subject is Bio Dynamics, which is part of Organic Farming and Anthroposophy.<\/p>\n
