Ashadha Sukla Pratipada Chart?

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

There are several new years defined in various parts of India based on New Moon,

Full Moon and Solar Ingress. Though the most popular new year charts are the new

Moon chart in Pisces, Full Moon chart with Sun in Aries and solar ingress chart

into Aries, there are other new years as well.

 

For example, some parts of India where business is strong celebrate new year on

Kartika Sukla Pratipada (the day after Diwali/Deepavali). This corresponds to

New Moon in Libra, the natural sign of business. In our tradition, we believe

that this New year chart throws light on finances and business matters in a

country during the year.

 

Gemini is the sign of nature. Sun-Moon conjunction in Gemini starts the lunar

month of Ashadha. Varahamihira laid a lot of emphasis on Ashadha month for

gauging weather and natural phenomena.

 

I did some limited research in the past on the solar entry chart into the Ardra

constellation and Ashadha Sukla Pratipada chart (i.e. New Moon chart in

Gemini). I found the latter useful in seeing natural disasters. As I do not

have the time to do a thorough research into this chart, I want to share this

with others in the hope that somebody may be able to spend some time on it and

do a thorough research.

 

In fact, it will be interesting to look at various solar/lunar new year charts

for the Asian countries involved in the tsunami. I looked at New Moon charts in

various signs, Full Moon chart in various signs and solar ingress charts into

various signs and into Ardra star.

 

Out of all these New Year charts, only one chart had one feature I was looking

for. I was looking for a New Year chart for 2004-05, which had the same sign

rising from Indonesia to India. If you see the normal new year chart based on

Pisces new Moon or solar entry chart into Ardra, Jakarta and Colombo had

different signs rising.

 

But the Ashadha Sukla Pratipada chart cast at New Delhi, Colombo, Phuket and

Jakarta had the same sign rising. Here is the chart for New Delhi:

 

2004 June 18, 1:57:29 am (IST), New Delhi, India

 

Aries lagna rises with Rahu in it. The 3rd house of natural calamities has Sun,

Moon, Mercury and Saturn. Mercury can show some natural disasters like

earthquakes and Moon afflicted by him may show floods. If dasas are compressed

to one year (duration between two Ashadha Sukla Pratipadas), the Vimsottari

dasa running at the time of the tsunami was Mercury's, Ashtottari dasa was

Saturn's and Yogini dasa was that of Saturn's.

 

If you make the Ashadha Sukla Pratipada chart at Jakarta for 1883 Aug 23, you

will see that Aquarius rises, the 3rd house has Ketu and 3rd lord Mars is with

Sun, Moon, Venus and Saturn. There was a volcano eruption that year (Mars and

Ketu associated with 3rd) and a tsunami (3rd lord afflicting Moon and Venus).

 

In the Ashadha Sukla Pratipada chart of 2000-01 for India, the 3rd house

contained Sun and Moon afflicted by Mars and 3rd lord Mercury. There was a big

earthquake in that year.

 

If someone has time, it may be a good idea to examine the Ashadha Sukla

Pratipada chart at the capitals of nations for seeing natural disasters.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
