Rainfall yogas in the year 2024

In this post, I am giving the regular format of rainfall prediction.

  • Panchanga based prediction.
  1. Verse of the year (Krodhi)
Krodhi year verse

The year Krodhi, by its very name indicates anger and bad things. The Year verse composed by Idaikkaattu Siddhar says that the year will be terrible. Robbery and chaos will be high. People will be attacked by robbers and live in fear. Rainfall will be less. There will be scarcity of vegetables as agriculture will be affected. Crops will be destroyed.

In Krodhi year 5159 years ago, the Mahabharata war was fought.

Inference: This kind of description shows scope for terrorist activities and theft. Rainfall scenario is bad.

  • Nava Nayaka-s

King: Mars (fire accidents on the rise. Danger to the ruler)

Minister: Saturn (Increase in prices of commodities.)

Meghadhipati: Venus (Good rainfall)

Inference: Troubles in the country indicated, but rainall scenario looks safe as Venus is the signifactor for plentiful rainfall.

  • Arudra Pravesha

The Sun enters Arudra on the night of 21st June 2024 at 11-35 pm.

Lagna: Aquarius (airy sign)

Moon: Sagittarius (Firey)

Time of the day: Midnight

Weekday: Friday (lorded by Venus)

Inference: The last two features ensure good rainfall.

  • Megha of the year

Varuna Megha. This is supposed to give good rainfall. In the last 100 years, on 12/ 14 times this Megha had given an annual rainfall of 900 + mm for Tamilnadu. In 2015-16, in the previous run of this Megha, it resulted in flooding Chennai. In the last 100 years, Tamilnadu had seen close to 1500 mm only two times: during the Varuna Megha of 1946-47 and Sangavartha Megha year of 2011-12.

  • Planet based prediction.
  • Venus – Mercury closeness

This is the most reliable planetary yoga for rainfall. This year the closeness spans through proper seasons of SWM and NEM. The table shows the periods of rainfall given by this yoga.

  • Sun- Saturn – Mars in alternate signs.

This is also an excellent yoga that leads to floods. The periods of this yoga given below:

From 14th April to 23rd April (North India)

From 15th June to 12th July (West coast, Western India)

From 26th August to 15th September (East India, east coast)

From 17th October to 20th October (West coast)

  • Venus in favourable stars.

This year the favourable transit of Venus starts on 24th September when it crosses the stars Swati, Vishakha and Anusha in the western sky. This lasts till 26th October.

For most part of the year Venus is ahead of all the other planets which will ensure very good rainfall. Such periods are as follows:

From 8th June to 17th June (South India)

From 7th August till the end of the year. (SE, S and SW India)

Initially Venus started moving forward in Magha (Southeast India includes Orissa, Andhra, interior Karnataka)

Then South, Southwest regions of South India will be successively covered by the forward transit of Venus.

A similar kind of forward movement of Venus was witnessed in 2021, July 15th onwards after a phase of heatwave caused by the forward movement of Mars until July 14th of 2021. That season had seen more than 1300 mm of rainfall in Tamilnadu.

Inference: Venus is the sole cause for plenty of rainfall this year. Varuna Megha and Venus as the Meghadhipati strengthens the scope for more than normal rainfall throughout SWM and NEM.

Spoilers:

Going by the past experience, the expected spoilers namely Mars in Dahana nadi (its transit in Mrigashirsha between 16th August and 6th September) and Saturn in opposition to Sun, Venus etc. when they transit Leo (September) might see lull sporadically. Around the same period Venus and Mercury are not in close degrees. But the overall robust combinations, particularly the forward march of Venus from 7th August onwards could offset the spoilers.

Meteorological events.

The retrogression begin period or end period was found to coincide with cyclones or some meteorological events. Here is the list of such events.

  1. From 29th June to 3rd July (Saturn begins retrogression) (Western region)
  2. Around 5th August (Mercury begins retrogression) (east coast)
  3. Between 9th October to 13th October (Jupiter begins retrogression) (North part of South India)

Apart from these, there will be a spurt in rainfall on the dates when the closeness of Venus and Mercury begin (12th April, 15th June, 1st October)

Onset of SWM

31st May is likely to be the date of onset.

On that day, Venus crosses the Sun to be on the lead of all planets; Mercury enters Taurus to join Sun and Venus in earthy sign.

Overall inference:

Both SWM and NEM will be good and even above average at places. Overall output is likely to exceed the annual average.
