By analyzing astrological factors such as the Solar Ingress Chart, astrology offers valuable guidance to mitigate challenges and optimize the yield of Rabi crops. These crops include:
• Wheat
• Gram
• Mustard
• Oats
• Bajra
• Mango
• Peas
• Lemon
• Grapefruit
• Onion
• Potato
• Tomato
• Grape
• Guava
• Banana
• Horse gram
• Chickpea
• Carrot
• Cauliflower
• Garlic
Astrological insights, based on the Solar Ingress Chart and other planetary influences, help farmers make informed decisions on crop and plant management, thereby improving productivity and minimizing risks. As per the Brihat Samhita, the Solar Ingress Chart, particularly when the Sun enters Scorpio provides important clues regarding the production potential and challenges of crops.
The Sun entered the sign of Scorpio at 7:31:49 AM, based on the coordinates of New Delhi.
The Sun, placed in the Lagna as the 10th Lord, is conjunct with benefic Mercury and under the benefic aspect of the exalted Moon, which is in full strength (Paksha Balam,exalted in sign). Jupiter, also conjunct with the Moon in the 7th House, aspects the Sun.This favorable conjunction, along with the aspect of the Moon and Jupiter on the Sun, is highly supportive of the growth and productive yield of Rabi crops. Additionally, Venus, another benefic planet, indirectly aspects the Sun in the Lagna through its sign exchange with Jupiter. Both the Moon and Venus, which are associated with water, aspect the Sun directly and indirectly, ensuring favorable conditions for crop development with sufficient moisture. In the Navamsa chart, the Sun is conjunct benefic Venus under the favorable aspect of the Moon, and Mercury itself is a strong positive indicator of a very good yield.
The only concern arises from the aspect of Saturn (representing wind) from the 4th House. Additionally, Saturn is under a Nakshatra (constellation) exchange with Rahu, meaning Rahu also indirectly influence the Sun. Rahu, associated with infections caused by bacteria and fungi, poses a potential risk to the Rabi crops. Furthermore, the loss of crops due to windstorms is another concern. The 4th House represents land and agriculture, and Saturn in the 4th House, placed in its own sign and recently emerging from retrogression, is under a Nakshatra(constellation) exchange with Rahu. This alignment suggests a potential risk of bacterial and fungal infestations in Rabi crops, particularly in regions like Punjab, Haryana, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttaranchal, and western Uttar Pradesh due to unfavourable weather conditions. Saturn in the 4th House, under the Nakshatra exchange with Rahu, indicates adverse weather conditions for crops, potentially leading to disruptions in growth due to unfavourable climatic influences.
Mercury and the Sun in the Lagna will promote dry, windy weather, while Saturn's aspect, under the influence of Rahu, suggests the possibility of windstorms. However, the Moon (associated with moisture) aspecting Sun from Taurus and Venus (also linked to moisture), through the sign exchange with Jupiter aspecting the Sun indirectly, will provide the necessary moisture for the Rabi crops. Mars, the 6th Lord of Disease, is aspecting Saturn in the 4th House, indicating potential challenges from bacterial and fungal diseases in the Rabi crops. Mars, positioned in Pushya Nakshatra in Cancer sign in 9th House , influences Saturn, which in turn aspects the Sun in Scorpio. This combination points to an excess of rainfall in the southern parts of India.
Conclusion:The Solar Ingress Chart of Scorpio indicates a very good yield for Rabi crops. The primary concerns are the potential for windstorms and bacterial and fungal diseases. Excessive rainfall in the southern parts of India could pose a significant issue. If necessary, farmers should be prepared to implement windbreaks, organic mulching and apply appropriate treatments for bacterial and fungal infections, in accordance with the guidelines provided by agricultural scientists from different agro-climatic zones of India.
