Predicting Rainfall with Rohini Vasa Chakra

Rohini Vasa Chakra - A unique method to predict quantity of rainfall

Rohini Vasa Chakra also known as Samundara Chakra is is very helpful method to predict about the quality and quantity of rainfall in a particular Samvat. It has first found mention in the classical text ‘Varsh Prabhodh’ by Meghvijay Gani.



Which means
Consider the Nakshtra occupied by Moon at the time of Sun’s ingress into Aries / Mesha and mark it on the starting house owned by Sea -#1 and remaining Nakshtra (including Abhijit), are marked sequentially, in the clockwise direction.
In this Samundra Chakra 28 Nakshtras are used i.e. Abhijit is also included. Starting from the Nakshtra/Constellation of Moon on the day of Sun`s ingress into Aries (i.e. Mesha Sankranti) 2x4 = 8 Nakshtra are earmarked for sea, 2x4 =8 for Sea Shore, 1x4=4 for Mountains, and 2x4 = 8 for Junction (sandhi) thus 28 constellations are established. The place where Rohini is established is called Rohini vasa or Rohini Residence.
If Rohini Vasa is in the sea then there is excessive rains and sufficient crops are available.
Rohini Vasa on the bank or Shore shows normal rains leads to accumulation of food grains.
Rohini Vasa on the rains uneven (Khand Vrishti) some places have excessive rains where as some places are short of rain. In this rains may be less but the crops do not suffer due to scarcity of rains
And Rohini vasa on the Mountains means just sprinkle. So litle rains during the year lead to destruction of crops



This Chakra is based on the tide factor. It is well known fact that the tides follow the Moon, and height of the tide is proportional to the gravitational pull of the Moon. On days of the Full Moon, the gravitational pull of the Moon is maximum, resulting in the highest tides. Thus the moon indicates the tide and consequential, rainfall.


A simplified version of the chart is drawn below, the applicability is the same. Here the various houses are distributed amongst four contenders, viz. the Sea, Seashore, Junction and Mountain. Please note that while the Sea, Seashore and Junction get eight houses each, the Mountain get only four houses.



Another way to calculate Rohini Vasa

On Mesha Sankranti day count from Moon Nakshtra up to Rohini Nakshtra and divide it by 7 and study the remainder.
If Remainder is 1 or 2 the result shows Rohini Vasa in Sea.
If Remainder is 3 or 7 then the Rohini Vasa is at Sea Shore.
If Remainder is 4 or 6 then the Rohini Vasa is at Junction.
If Remainder is 5 then the Rohini Vasa is at Mountain.

To calculate  Rohini Vasa in Samvat 2074
Nakshtra occupied by Moon on Mesha Sankranti - Vishakha
Number of Nakshtra between Vishakha & Rohini- 17
So 17 divided by 7 remainder is 3 which shows Rohini vasa on Shore

Rohini Vasa Phalam

In Samvat 2074 Rohini Vasa is on the bank or seashore shows normal rains for the year.

तटे वृष्टि: सुशोभना

There will be good rains north south area.
The drinking water, ground water and other natural sources of water will be available.
Good rains will impact the production of fruits and vegetables, rice grains, fodder and cereals and inflation may get curbed.
In general, there will be progress.

Samay Niwas (Residence of Time):

If residence of Rohini is in sea, then Time resides at Gardener`s house
If it’s in Junction (sandhi) then time resides at trader`s home.
If on mountain, then time resides at potter`s house.
If at sea shore the time resides at washer man’s (rajak) house.

In Samvat 2074 Rohini Vasa is in the Shore (तट) Samay Niwas is in the house of Washerman (Dhobhi).

रजके वृष्टिरुत्तमा

When samay niwas is in the house of Dhobhi brangs good rains in that year. Some places may get excess rains and some nay get little less.
