As per the classical texts of mundane astrology benefic planets becoming Atichari or fast moving and the malefic planets moving into retrograde motion at the same time can bring obstructions in the rainfall. This year Jupiter will be in Atichari motion or fast moving in Gemini sign. And Saturn would be in retrograde in Pisces sign during a major period of the South-West monsoon season from June to September month. This will adversely affect the rainfall in India as it is highly likely that in the first few days there will be good rainfall due to Mars transit in watery sign Cancer till 7th of June and then slowly the rainfall will start becoming abnormal particularly in the South Indian states, Gujarat and also in parts of Maharashtra.
In my article ‘Forecasting Trends for the Summer Season in India 2025’ published at page number 43 of Express Star Teller magazine i had mentioned that in North India this year the number of heat wave days will be less during the month of May. The second half of the month of May is likely to bring some light rainfall and there will be timely onset of the South-West monsoon in South India due to good planetary position in the Vrishabha Samkranti i.e. Solar Ingress in Taurus horoscope this year.
Chart 1. Solar Ingress of Taurus
15 May 2025, 00:11:53 at Delhi
Jupiter will enter into Gemini sign on the 14th of May just a few hours before when the Sun will enter into this sign on the midnight of 14/15 at 00:11:53 as per the Indian Standard Time. Jupiter will be in the next sign from the Sun which will bring it into accelerated or Atichari motion. This Atichari Jupiter will bring many natural calamities this year particularly during the summer season when Saturn and Rahu will be in Pisces sign in trine from Mars in Cancer sign.
At the time of Solar Ingress into Taurus (chart 1) the Moon will be in a watery sign Scorpio which will bring heavy pre-monsoon rains in the state of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Mars in cancer will bring some light showers in the central parts of India around the city of Nagpur, Raipur, Nasik, Bhopal etc. Pre-monsoon rains in general will be good in the second half of May in the central parts of India Mars in Cancer will be in trine from Saturn-Rahu in Pisces and the Moon in Scorpio in the solar ingress of Taurus chart.
Summer crops will be favorable for farmers
As per the Sasya Jataka Adhyay of Brihat Samhita if at the time of the Sun’s entry into Taurus there are natural benefic planets in the 2nd and 12th house from the Sun then farmers get good price for the summer crops. The summer crops in India are also known as Kharif crops which are rice, sorghum (jowar), pear millet (bajra), maize, oil seeds and pulses etc. Due to position of Jupiter in the 2nd house from the Sun and Mercury in the 12th the ‘Shubha Kartari’ yoga to the Sun will bring good yields in the summer crops during the year 2025. Farmers will get more productions of millets as Saturn is in Pisces the sign of expansion. Saturn and Rahu are karaka for millets as per Brihat Samhita. The timely pre-monsoon rains will be very helpful for rice and pulses farmers in South India. The productions of coffee and spices will also be good as Venus is exalted in Pisces at the time of Sun’s entry into Taurus sign. This wonderful combination of planets in Vrishabha Samkranti chart will be beneficial for the farmers of South India though it also shows a danger of major cyclone also.
Timely onset of South-West Monsoon foreseen
The normal date for the onset of the South-West monsoon in India is 1st of June. This year the major planet Saturn will be in watery sign Pisces and Mars will also be in watery sign Cancer which are favorable for an early onset of the South-West monsoon in India. On the day of the New Moon on 28th of May the conjunction of the Moon, the Sun and Mercury in Taurus sign will bring very good pre-monsoon rainfall in Kerala, Tamil Nadu and some coastal areas of south Indian states.
Record breaking heat-wave in North India after 6th of June
In the classical texts of astro-meteorology Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Leo, Virgo and Sagittarius are dry signs. While Cancer, Capricorn and Pisces are 100% watery signs. Scorpio, Libra and Aquarius also have water content. Among the planets Mars, Saturn, the Sun and Ketu are dry planets. Rahu is windy planet. Jupiter, the Moon, Venus and Mercury are watery planets.
Chart 2. Full Moon horoscope
11 June 2025, 13:13 at Delhi
When Mars will enter into dry sign Leo it will bring record breaking heat waves in most of the planes in North India especially Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana. Mars in Leo will also bring dryness in Gujarat and parts of central India. There will be some delay in South West monsoon in Raipur, Nagpur and some cities of central India. But the placement of Jupiter and Mercury in Gemini Rashi in the full Moon chart of 11th of June is a good indication for timely rainfall in the state of West Bengal signify by Gemini sign. The state of Bihar and Jharkhand will also get timely onset of South-West monsoon this year.
Ardra Pravesh Chart shows erratic rainfall
The horoscope of Sun’s entry into Ardra Nakshara is studied to see the general trends for the South-West monsoon in the entire country. The position of planets in the Rashi and Navamsha is to be taken into consideration as per the rules of astro-meteorology in the Ardra Pravesh chart.
Chart 3. Horoscope of Sun’s entry into Ardra Nakshatra
22 June 2025, 06:19 a.m. at Delhi
On the Sunday ruled by the Sun, Krishna Paksha Dwadashi Tithi (12th day of darker half), Bharani Nakshatra, Sukarma Yoga and Kaulava Karna time the Sun will enter into the Ardra Nakshatra this year on the 22nd of June.
In the Ardra Pravesh chart (chart 3) the Gemini lagna is rising which is a dry sign. The Moon is in Aries which is another dry sign. But since we have watery planets Jupiter and Mercury in the lagna so it is good for the rainfall. We have Venus another watery planet with the Moon so it is also good. In Navamsha the watery planet Pisces is rising and Saturn and the Moon aspect the lagna. These are the yoga’s for some erratic rainfall only.
Destruction due to cloud burst in hilly areas
The aspect of transiting Mars on Saturn during the months of June-July may also give destructions due to erratic rainfall in the hilly areas of the country. The state of Andhra Pradesh signified by Pisces sign will get affected by a cyclone in the months of June-July or some major wind storm. Mars from Leo will aspect Saturn in Pisces sign indicate it.
Western India will get less than normal rainfall
The transit Mars will remain in Leo sign from 6th of June to 28th of July which is not good for rainfall in Saurashtra and Marathawada region. So, Gujarat and parts of Maharashtra may get less than normal rainfall in the month of June-July this year.
South India will get erratic rainfall in August-September
During 28th of July to 13th of September Mars will be in Virgo sign. Mars will be in opposition from Saturn which will be in Pisces sign then. This period will bring erratic rainfall in many parts of the country mostly in South India signified by Virgo sign. As per the Koorma Chakra Hasta and Chitra Nakshatra are in South India thus Virgo signify the South India.
Chart 4. Solar Ingress in Cancer
16 July 2025, 17:32 at Delhi
At the time of Sun’s entry into Cancer on 16th of July there will be some good rainfall in North Indian states like Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan. But since Mars and Ketu will be ahead of the Sun-Mercury so rainfall will be less than norma during 16th of July to 15th of August this year. The higher than the normal temperature during June-July in most of the North Indian region will give troubles to the general public this year.
the position of Jupiter in the 12th from the Sun in Atichari motion and the retrograde motion of Saturn will bring erratic rainfall at many places in the country.
क्रूरा वक्रा यदा काले सोम्या: शीघ्रास्तु चागता: ll
अनावृष्टि च दुर्भिक्षं नृपराष्ट्रभयन्करा : ll ४ ll
{Bhavishya Phala Bhaskara, Graha Yoga Prakranam, Page 28, Stanza number 4}
Translation: If malefic planets (Saturn and Mars) are in retrograde motion and benefic (Jupiter, Venus and Mercury) are in fast moving motion then it brings loss of rainfall, famine and fear for the kings and his subjects.
अतिचारगते जीवे शनो वक्रत्वमागते ll
न तत्पश्याम तोयं वै यद्वरां धारयिष्यति ll
{Bhavishya Phala Bhaskara, Graha Yoga Prakaranam, Page 28, Stanza number 5}
As per a Hindi classical text Bhavishya Phala Bhaskara if Jupiter is in fast moving motion and Saturn is retrograde in transit then water which holds the earth don’t become visible i.e. it destroys the rainfall during that season.
In the second half of July there could be a cloud burst and landslide tragedy in hilly states of North India.
Mars in Virgo will create an obstruction in rainfall after 28th of July.
The transiting Mars will enter into Virgo sign on the 28th of July which is a dry sign. Virgo signify the Southern peninsular. In the month of August there will be less than normal rainfall in many parts of the South Indian states particularly in Karnataka.
Destruction foresee due to earthquake and landslides
In the month of August around the Full Moon of 9th of August there could be a landslide or a medium range earthquake in hilly areas of North India giving losses of lives and properties. Later a total lunar eclipse on the night of 7/8 September can bring two earthquake measuring 7 or more at Richter scale in the areas of North India, Pakistan and Afghanistan Hindu Kush region.
So, overall, the rainfall during the south-west monsoon shall be 90 to 95% of the long period average. The states of Bihar, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka may get less than normal rainfall this year. During 9th of July to 30th of August there will be less than normal rainfall in most parts of the country this year. In the month of September there will be dryness and less rainfall in southern peninsular, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka region.
