I had forecast about a possible development of a ‘low-pressure system’ in the Bay of Bengal in my article ‘Northeast Monsoon in 2018’ published in the October issue of Express Star Teller magazine which is at news stands at present.

On the page number 45 of the October issue of Express Star Teller i had forecast unseasoned rainfall rainfall in the following words in my write-up ” The Jupiter entering into the watery sign Scorpio on the 11^th of October may bring an early rainfall in the southern-peninsular. The transit of Mars in Capricorn a watery sign also suggest that while the south-west monsoon will stay longer giving rains in the first fortnight of October in places like Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa and Chhattisgarh the system created due to it will help to create an early north-east monsoon rains activity in the southern-states also. This meteorological disturbance will bring unseasonal rains around the New Moon of 9^th of October and also at the time of Jupiter’s entry into Scorpio on the 11^th of the same month.”

Now this year in 2018 the planetary conditions are suggesting an early onset of north-east monsoon with an erratic spells of heavy rains in the month of October. Now see this New Moon horoscope given below.

But when these planets come closer to the Sun then they motion become fast which is called ‘Atichari’ movement. Jupiter transiting from Scorpio this year will come closer to Sun. Because of the gravitational force of Sun the speed of these planets in their orbit increase which in mundane astrology is know as ‘Atichari’ or fast moving speed.
