[SJC: Achyuta Gurukul] Seasons and Planets

[Guest guest]

Dear Sanjay,

I believe seasons are classified into four different types in English. This is

likely due to the temperate climate experienced in the higher lattitudes

(England) where there are no Monsoons or the Rainy season as in the tropics.

Spring starts about March 20

Summer starts about June 21

Fall/Autumn starts about September 22, and

Winter starts about December 22.

These are also associated with the elements - Air, Fire, Water and Earth respectively.

The six Ritu/season classification as per the the Indian system are each of 2 month durations

Vasanta (Spring) starts March 20 to May 19 - ruled by Venus

Greeshma (Summer) starts May 20 to July 19 - as you can see summer starts

earlier especially if you live closer to the equator. Ruled by Mars.

Varsha (Monsoon/Rainy season) start July 20 to September 19. Ruled by Moon.

Sarad (Fall/Autumn) start September 20 to November 19. Ruled by Mercury.

Hemanta (End of Autumn/Beginning of Winter, season of dew) start November 20 to

January 19. Ruled by Jupiter.

Shishira (Winter proper) starts January 20 to March 19. Ruled by Saturn.

This is my understanding.

Best wishes.

Ashwin.

Dear List,

These seasons can be timed using the Vishnu Chakra (Tropical Zodiac), begining

with Aries in the spring, and proceeding at 2 signs at a time. This is also the

method of finding the season of birth in Nasta Jatakam.
