In the astro-meteorology the solar ingress and lunar charts are studied for the forecasting of seasonal trends. The position of the Sun and the Moon with respect to other planets is very important for giving an indications for meteorological disturbances. Apart from the rainfall and temperature we can also forecast the yield of crops cultivated during the monsoon (rainy) and also in the winter season. Astrological indications for the potential yield of Rabi crops sown in the winter season are given in the Sasya Jataka chapter of the fifth-century text, the Brihat Samhita. According to the Brihat Samhita, for the production of winter crops, especially wheat, the position of the benefic (Jupiter, Venus, unafflicted Mercury and the Full Moon) and malefic planets (Saturn, Mars and Rahu) relative to the Sun is observed at the time of the Sun’s entry into Scorpio.
This year, at the time of the Sun’s entry into Scorpio, the auspicious planet Jupiter was in Cancer and was giving its 5th aspect to the Su, which is a particularly favorable position for sowing wheat and gram crops. Venus, being in Libra and directly behind the Sun, indicates a good barley yield. The conjunction of Mars and Mercury in Scorpio with the Sun during their transit is good for the production of lentils and peas, respectively. However, Rahu and Ketu being in the Kendra houses (square) of the Sun and Saturn in the triangle may cause abnormal rainfall and severe cold, which may destroy oilseed crops like mustard in some areas.
