The winter season in year 2019-20 was very sever for India and the world. About which i had foretasted last year in blog post “Solar Minimum and Forecasting Trends for the winter season 2019-20”   In that blog post i had discuss the concept of ‘Sun Spots’ and its effects as per the classical text of the 5th century AD Brihat Samhita. Due to the low Sun Spot or Solar Minimum cycle the winter season was rainy and extremely cold in Northern Hemisphere. In the Southern Hemisphere Australia had extremely devastating wild fire which killed millions of animals and other species. During winter season a solar  eclipse had fallen on 26 of December 2019 with 5 planets in Sagittarius along with Ketu the Karaka of ‘Sookshma Jeeva’. Sun, Mercury, Moon, Jupiter, Venus and Ketu were together in Sagittarius sign at the time of that eclipse. That eclipse had fallen in the Moola Nakshtra of Ketu and immediately after it a viral disease (COVID-19) become a global Pandemic. Earlier Jupiter (Jeeva Shakti or Life force) was afflicted in Sagittarius with Ketu and Saturn.

Now during this summer season Saturn and Jupiter will remain in ‘Uttara Ashadha’ Nakshtra in Makar Rashi which as per the texts of astro-meteorology is a watery sign. So summer season will be moderate only in Indian subcontinent. In the month of April Mars, Saturn and Jupiter together in ‘Uttara-Ashadha’ Nakshtra can bring an earthquake of moderate nature  in the North-West direction of India and also in Pakistan. The Indian sub continent will largely be safe from the corona virus epidemic and after 26th of April when Sun-Mercury will conjoin in Aries India will start getting relief from the  corona outbreak. I had also discuss this in my article ” Planets and Fear Psychosis of Corona Virus” posted on 5th of March that this disease will not give much deaths in India as compare to Western countries. The hot and humid weather in the month of May will start giving much needed relief from corona outbreak in both India and Pakistan. Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will also be safe.

But in USA and Europe corona outbreak will remain a  concern until Ketu leave ‘Moola Nakshtra’ in the first week of September. Even after controlling corona virus in the mid of summer some cases may keep coming in these countries till the end of August which could become a concern. Since Saturn and Jupiter are going to get retrograde in Capricorn (Makar Rashi) in the mid of May so summer season in USA and Europe will be moderate only. In the southern hemisphere  Australia, South Africa and South-America there will be cold and rainy winter season. The rainfall during winter in southern hemisphere countries will be above normal for the season.

Full Moon horoscope 

8 April 2020, 08:05 hours at Delhi

In the summer season in India the April is the hottest month for southern and western states whereas in the northern states May is the hottest month. This year however April may not be as hot as compare to the last year for the southern and western states as the planetary position in Full Moon horoscope of 8^th of April given here indicates. Venus in the ascendant of Full Moon chart under the aspect of watery planet Jupiter indicate a moderate summer during fortnight starting from 8th of April.

Noticeable point here is that Mercury and Sun are in a watery Rashi Pisces. Saturn, Jupiter and Mars are in watery Rashi Capricorn. Apart from this in Navamsha chart Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn and Venus are in watery signs. These planetary dispositions  will give normal temperature in the April month which is a good news especially for the people of  South India.

Heat Wave will increase after 25th of April due to Sun-Mercury conjunction

It has been observed that Mercury brings considerable changes in temperature during summers when it join Sun in the fiery sign Aries and in winters when it get conjoined with Sun in Sagittarius it then bring cold waves. From the position of Mercury we can predict the exact dates for the starting of hot waves in summer and clod waves in winters as per astro-meteorology principals. After 25th of April when Mercury will join Sun we will start getting much needed relief from corona outbreak all over the world more so in Indian sub continent. In south , central and western parts of the country there will be very hot temperature though it will not be above normal for the season.

In the Full Moon or Poornima Kundali of 7^th of May the Mars is in Aquarius an airy sign giving aspect to the lagna. Moon is in Libra in mutual aspect with Sun and Mercury. Moon is getting the aspect of a dry planet Saturn. This will bring hot and dry winds breaking  records of many years  in the southern and central parts of India. The states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Telangana and Orissa will experience above normal temperature during the month of May this year. However, the pre-monsoon activity will give relief from heat to Kerala and Tamil Nadu. In the North India we will get heat waves on some days but due to conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Makar Rashi summer will not be highly severe.

Timely onset of south-west monsoon is indicated in year 2020

New Moon Chart

The New Moon horoscope of 22nd of May indicate a timely onset of south-west monsoon in the Sri Lanka and later in Kerala in southern parts of India.

The planetary position in the New Moon or Amavasaya Kundali of 22^nd of May is very interesting. The luminaries Sun and Moon are in Taurus along with two watery planets Venus and Mercury. These four planets get the aspects from Mars and Jupiter. It is an indication of very severe weather disturbances. There will be above normal pre-monsoon rains in the last week of May in southern states and also in south-east direction. The state of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Chhattisgarh  and Orissa may experience above normal pre-monsoon rains after 22^nd of May. There will be loss of lives and properties at some places due to thundershowers and wind storms. Mars is behind the Sun so south-west monsoon is likely to reach on its due date of 1^st June in Kerala. In the month of June Punjab and Himachal Pradesh will see above normal pre-monsoon rains as Saturn and Jupiter in Makar Rashi gives indication for it. Makar or Capricorn signify the North-West part of India and also the Punjab province of Pakistan.

So in the summer season the hot waves are likely to come bit late in most part of the country. In south India it is only after 25^th of April there will be severe hot temperature that will give trouble to the people. In North India the temperature in April will be moderate and in May it will be normal for the summer season. But in June there will be extreme heat wave conditions favorable for south-west monsoon rains in July month.
