The Hindu New Year Chart is prepared for the day and time when Sun and Moon have exact conjuction in Pisces sign or on Chaiter shukal pratipada. If we take the capital of a country as the place and adjust the time accordingly then we can prepare Hindu New Year Chart for that country and predict the events for the country according to the disposition of the planets.
Let us consider Hindu New Year Chart for India for Samvat 2073. The exact conjuction of Sun and Moon is on 7th April, 2016 @ 16:55 Hrs and take Delhi the capital of India as the place. The following will be the chart of New Year for India.
Asec – 1: 11 (Utter Phalguni)
Sun – 23:59 (Revati) Moon – 23:59 Revati
Mars – 14:13 (Anuradha Merc – 8:43 Ashwini
Jupiter – 20:42 (Poorv Phalgun) Venus – 8:06 Utter Bhadrapad
Saturn R– 22:10 (Jayestha) Rahu – 27:34 Utter Phalgun
Ketu – 27:34 Poorvbhadrapad
According to Jovian cycle of 60 years, the Samvat 2073 has been named as “Saumya” with its lord as Shiva. There will be normal rains, difference among the rulers will be low and there will be less production of grains. In the month of Chaitra prices will be high, in vaisakha the velocity of wind be high. Conflicts in Jyastha, Ashad will have less rains. All juicy material and metals will be cheap. Kartika to Magh are medium, but phalgun witnesses high speed winds and grains will be cheap.
- The Ascendant Virgo in rising with Capricorn Navamsa ascendant. Both are earthy sign and is over all a favourable disposition hinting at a year of progress and development for the country with government displaying a strong steak of pragmatism in its policies and approach to major issues facing the nation.
The Ascendant is aspected by an exalated 2nd and 9th lord Venus as also the 11th lord Moon and the 12th lord Sun. The economy appears to be in for sunny weather. The occupation of exaltation sign by 2nd lord Venus in conjuction with 12th lord Sun promises heavy investment from overseas.
The Asendant Lord Mercury in the 8th house is not bad, Mercury here is welcome and an exception to the general rule of a planet suffering from Dusthana. Black money stashed in overseas banks is likely to be brought back. The Government may also work at plugging loop holes that people make use of to put money in foreign banks.
2.Second House : The well placed second house with its ruler Venus exalated and aspecting the lagna from Kender, the GDP may hover around 8 as the lunar year ends. Direct tax laws may be simplified giving some relief to tax payer. Though the 11th lord Moon lacks in Pakeshbala due to his exact conjuction with Sun, but at the same time combination involving the 11th, 2nd, 9th and 12th houses is a formidable Yoga that attracts business environment. On the whole, India may see good economic growth during this lunar year.
3.Third House : The 3rd house rules roads, railways and airways, transport, communication, media as also cyber science and information technology. The 3rd lord Mars Vargattam in his own sign in 3rd house with Saturn, the fares in different transport sectors are likely to see a drop making travel more affordable to common man. However both planets are malaefic, there can be a rise in travel accidents, more especially road and railways.
Certain section of the media may turn reckless and go overboad in trying to sensationalize stories but finally be admonished by the judiciary. There can be more than one instance of a national TV Channel being dragged to Courts.
3rd house also rules neighbours. The affliction it comes under may lead to mini-war situation with Pakistan. China too may creat major tension for us with its dam and road building activities increasingly encroaching into our water and territory.
4. Fourth House : The 4th house gets weakened by its ruler Jupiter being in 12th afflicted by Rahu. More land related scams cannot be ruled out. The interest on housing loans may not be comfortable with realators feeling heat. The 4th house is aspected by the 4th lord Jupiter who is with Rahu. The 4th show domestic environment and it ihas Rahu infliction which is a serious causing factor. At the same time he also rules innovative technology which may be employed to give greater imputus to the Swatch Bharat Compaign and program.
5. Fifth House : The 5th house in Capricorn aspected by its lord Saturn from the 3rd house. This is an indicators of programmes of taking primary education to the remotest corners of the country. More students may opt for courses other than professional engineering and medical and instead opt for job oriented courses as would provide self employment. Saturn as 5th lord is afflicted by Mars, who is also the 8th lord ruling disgrace and humiliation. At least 2 or 3 heads of highly respected or prestigious centres of education may find themselves caught in un savory controversies. The 5th house also shows the stock markets. The vargottam Mars conjoining the 5th lord Saturn, who in turn, aspects the 5th house is generally indicative of bullish trends.
6. Sixth House : The 6th lord Saturn is in Scorpio. The sign scorpio if afflicted causes trouble to excretory system. Incidence of cancer in this part of the anatomy may see a rise but it is with well placed Mars which wil help innovative and new techniques of handling the condition surgically will also be available. Ketu in the 6th house is aspected by a strong Mars and afflicted Jupiter. There may be more cases of stomach and gastro – intestinal disorder with an epidemic breaking out in at least two region of the country, obesity and diabetes also are likely to cause much concern with more and more people coming under their shadow.
7. Seventh House : The 7th house ruling foreign relations false in Pisces which is favourably placed with Venus and Sun. Most countries of the world may vie with one another to woo India. The Modi Government will take a pragmatic result oriented approach in its foreign policies and is not likely to yield to any kind of pressure from the Super Power. Pisces ruled by Jupiter who also happens to be the ruler of Ascendant in U.S. Decleration of Indepenence Chart. There can be an easing of procedures facilitating students and faculty exchange between India and U.S. The Jupiter’s affliction from Rahu in lunar new year chart shows that U.S. cannot be trusted where Pakistan is concerned.
The 7th house also rules opposition. It comes under mixed influence and could indicate the congress at times, behave with some responsibility in Parliament. The 7th lord with Rahu exposes a top opposition leader to a major health crisis. Scams that have been hibernating so far for whatever reason may rear their heads once again hitting the congress and its allies hard.
8. Eighth House : The 8th house rules longetivity and the presence of the Ascendant lord Mercury here is a protective shield on the Government. However it can also show national mourning with the flag flying half mast at least on two occasions. A much respected national leader – political or gubernatorical – may pass away. A top judicial functionary could also come under a shadow.
9. Nineth House : The judiciary coming under the 9th house is aspected by Mars and Saturn while the 9th lord himself is exalated in Kendra. An international honour is likely for a judicial functionary. At the same time some bold and path breaking judgements are foreseen which could also attract demonstration and protests from vested interest.
The strong aspect of malefics on the 9th house calls for beefing up the security of judicial officers of all ranks from top to bottom. A violent attack againt more than one judicial functionary cannot be ruled out. The Ayodhya temple issue may pick up momentum again.
10. Tenth House : The 10th house is most important in Mundane chart shwing the Government and governance from it. Mars aspect the 10th house adversely. Anti Modi agenda may turn louder but loose steam after July 2016 as the Sun-Venus chidder dasha of BJP party will end and Moon dasha will start which give support to the Government. At the same time the Martian influence can galvanise the Government into taking firm steps and doing away with avoidable delays wherever necessary in pursuing its development programe. A certain ruthlessness will be evident in execution of its decision or in pushing ordinance wherever necessary. The GST bill or another equally important bill may finally be passed. While a watered down Land Acquisition bill also may see progress, if not already. The Women’s Reservation Bill may become law after initial resistance to it.
11. Eleventh House : The 11th house indicate source of revenue, Monetary gains through business, trade, industry and taxation. The 11th lord Moon is weak but benefits from being with Venus. Inflation may be checked and could see a reduction.
12. Twelfth House : This house indicate foreign countries secret plots against the country, spy and secret forces. The Rahu – Jupiter combination in 12th house is signal to a dangerous trends with extremist elements in secret across the border. India must be on guard against I.S. infiltration into our country. The 12th house inflation must not be treated lightly and calls for quick action on our borders if our army men are not be sacrified.
General : – The position of Venus is a happy augury for women in our country with several schems to help their education and social needs. More women are likely to occupy position of importance in government and judiciary as also in areas that have been a male bastion so far. The Government is likely to come up with schemes to help women gain skills and for providing decent wages and working conditions. The issue of equal pay for equal work receives serous attention.

Rohini Vass Chakra for 2016
A unique method of predicting the quality of rainfall, the Rohini Vaas Chakra first found mention in the classical text ‘Varsh Prabhodh’. 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.
In this system, a chart having 28 houses is drawn as depicted in the diagram below. (Please note that although a simplified version of the chart is drawn here, 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.
Rohini Vass Chakra for 2016
Consider the Nakshatra at the time of Sun’s ingress into Aries (i.e. the Nakshatra which the Moon was transiting at the time of Mesha Sanskranti), and mark it on the starting house owned by Sea). The remaining 28 Nakshatras (including Abhijeet), are marked sequentially, in the clockwise direction.
The all important Nakshatra is Rohini : –
- If it happens to land in a house owned by the ‘Sea’, then there will be abundant rains in the coming rainy season.
- If Rohini happens to land on a ‘Seashore’ house, it indicates sufficient rainfall, giving good crop.
- Rohini’s placement in ‘Junction’ house indicative of scanty and untimely rain.
- While in the ‘Mountain’ house, it signifies rain only on the mountains with very little or no rain on the plains.
Now, let us take the example for the year 2016, the solar ingress into Aries is on 13 April 2016 at 19:47 hour. Correspondingly the Moon is in Punervasu Nakshatar.
Mark Punervasu on the starting position of the Chakra, counting Rohini from this in the clockwise direction, we find that it falls on 26th house i.e. Mountain. This is indicative of heavy rainfall in mountain part of the country with less rain in the plains. This shows that reservours of the dams will be filled and great production of electric energy is expected.
The above exercise can also be done in a simple manner by counting from Moon’s Nakshatra at the time of ‘Mesh Sankranti’ (i.e. the time of Sun’s ingress into Aries) to Rohini Nakshatra. We then divide by 7 and study remainder. If it is 1 or 2 the result indicates Sea, if 3 or 7 then Seashore, if 4 or 6 then Junction and if 5 then Mountain. We count Punervasu to Rohini, it is 26 and divided by 7, the remainder is 5 which indicates mountain.

1. Jal Stambh (Water Pillar) :
The measurement of Nakshatra Revati on Chaitra Shukal Paksh Pratipada makes the decision. The Samvat 2073 has Jal Stambh 46.7%. This is of average strength. As such there will be average rainfall in the samvat. Central and eastern part of the country such as Bihar, Urisa, Assam, Bengal and Uttar Pardesh will have sufficient rain, chances of damage du to heavy floods in some parts cannot be ruled out.
