Astro Meteorology of the Kashmir rains



SRINAGAR: Heavy rains pounded several areas of Kashmir damaging many houses and led to closure of Srinagar-Jammu national highway because of landslides with water level in Jhelum river also rising fast. Heavy rains since Saturday (March 28)  has resulted in damage to at least 44 structures, including 18 houses, due to landslides in Chrar-e-Sharief area of Kashmir, officials said.

Cardinal Ingresses of Mercury can influence weather conditions quite dramatically as this example will show. On March 31, Mercury entered Aries. The 4th house is linked to weather[1]. A chart for the ingress has 17 Cn on the 4th house cusp. This is conjunct rho Geminorum part of the Chinese asterism  Pe-Ho, the Northern River which presided over water. Aspecting the meridian axis is the Uranus-Pluto square. Richard Tarnas associates Uranus-Pluto with “the unleashing of the elemental forces of nature” so that the rains followed by the landslide is completely explainable.







Let us add to this a second mundane event – the First Quarter Moon phase of March 27. Here once again we find the Uranus-Pluto square aspecting the meridian axis. In addition on the Ascendant (27cn) are stars that are part of the Chinese asterism Choui-Wei, the Situation of the Waters, which governed the overflowing of rivers.[2]

In conclusion we can say that the two astrological mundane events have contributed to the unseasonal heavy rains and the resulting landslides.
