Farmer Ranganath Watpade made a killing last year
by putting off selling his onions until four months after he harvested them.
This year, the same trick has backfired.The country has produced a record
harvest, but many farmers in the onion bowl of Maharashtra
have lost a large share of their crop damaged in storage, adding to the
country's inflation woes. A doubling in retail prices across major cities is
especially troubling for staples such as onions, an ingredient that is present
in just about every Indian meal. Unseasonal weather, hoarding and price
manipulation have in the past led to dramatic price rises, and the new
administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is anxious to avoid the
political fallout that has hit other governments over the cost of the food. Business
Today; July 9
This news
item is best understood if we start with the Lunar Eclipse of April 15 and
progress the angles to July 9, the date of the news. On that date the horizon
axis coincides with the eclipse axis so that the essential message of the
eclipse should be felt on that day give or take a couple of days. Readers are referred to Nick Fiorenza’s
monthly Lunar Planner for the eclipse to better understand the issues involved.
A summary extracted from Nick is given below.
The April 15 Total Lunar Eclipse
occured just into sidereal Libra conjoining Ceres and Vesta opposite
the Sun-Juno-Eris conjunction. The Lunar focus is Ceres and Vesta under the
Archturian directive—focus, dedication and commitment to the fundamental
nourishment required to support all life on Earth and for our evolutionary
fulfillment. The quality of our environment and of our biological condition
must become a priority over amassing power and resources to dominate and
control life based upon personal motive. [1]
