Each band shows the days of the month on which that condition held. Days are read at 12:00 UTC. The bands carry no favourable or adverse colour, deliberately: events falling more often inside a window is not good news.
Tested condition
Within 14 days after an eclipse
1–15 August 2027; 17–30 August 2027
In force on 29 of the month's 31 days.
What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:
Tested against: geophysical events, political events, market events. Categories this condition was not tested against are left out rather than shown as a zero; that restriction is this platform's stated configuration, not a statement of the texts.
Classical basis. Bṛhat Saṁhitā, the eclipse chapters: effects are said to follow an eclipse. The fourteen-day window is Horā’s stated convention, not the text’s number — the text gives no count of days.
Tested condition
Within 18 days either side of an eclipse
1–31 August 2027
In force on 31 of the month's 31 days.
What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:
Tested against: geophysical events, political events, market events. Categories this condition was not tested against are left out rather than shown as a zero; that restriction is this platform's stated configuration, not a statement of the texts.
Classical basis. Proximity to an eclipse season — the luminaries near the nodal axis. The eighteen-day span is Horā’s stated convention.
Tested condition
Budha retrograde or combust
1–23 August 2027
In force on 23 of the month's 31 days.
What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:
Tested against: market events. Categories this condition was not tested against are left out rather than shown as a zero; that restriction is this platform's stated configuration, not a statement of the texts.
Classical basis. The price (argha) and motion chapters of the Bṛhat Saṁhitā link anomalous motion of the significator of trade to disturbance in prices. Retrogression and a 12° combustion orb are Horā’s stated operationalisation.
Eclipse
Solar eclipse
2 August 2027
2 August 2027, maximum at 10:07 UTC.
Not tested by the record
None of the seven tested conditions is keyed to this event on its own, so the record offers no count for it. It is listed because it is a fact of this month's sky, and no number is attached to it. The tested window an eclipse opens appears above as its own band, and the counts are given there.
Classical basis. The eclipse maximum comes from the same astronomical routine this platform's eclipse catalogue was built with. The time is UTC.
Tested condition
Graha-yuddha — two tārā-grahas within 1°
10–12 August 2027; 19–20 August 2027; 25–26 August 2027
In force on 7 of the month's 31 days.
What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:
Tested against: geophysical events, political events, market events. Categories this condition was not tested against are left out rather than shown as a zero; that restriction is this platform's stated configuration, not a statement of the texts.
Classical basis. Bṛhat Saṁhitā, the graha-yuddha chapter: a war between planets is said to distress nations, and the people of the defeated planet to suffer.
Station
Śani turns retrograde
10 August 2027
10 August 2027 — the change of direction is first seen at 12:00 UTC on this day.
Not tested by the record
None of the seven tested conditions is keyed to this event on its own, so the record offers no count for it. It is listed because it is a fact of this month's sky, and no number is attached to it.
Classical basis. A station is read from the change of sign of the body's speed, sampled at 12:00 UTC each day. No time finer than the day is computed.
Tested condition
Maṅgala and Śani within 10° of conjunction or opposition
14–31 August 2027
In force on 18 of the month's 31 days.
What already happened while this same condition held — counted across the whole record:
Tested against: geophysical events, political events, market events. Categories this condition was not tested against are left out rather than shown as a zero; that restriction is this platform's stated configuration, not a statement of the texts.
Classical basis. Classical mundane doctrine: the mutual affliction of Maṅgala and Śani marks strife and scarcity. The 10° orb is Horā’s stated configuration; the texts describe, they do not measure in degrees.
Eclipse
Lunar eclipse
17 August 2027
17 August 2027, maximum at 07:14 UTC.
Not tested by the record
None of the seven tested conditions is keyed to this event on its own, so the record offers no count for it. It is listed because it is a fact of this month's sky, and no number is attached to it. The tested window an eclipse opens appears above as its own band, and the counts are given there.
Classical basis. The eclipse maximum comes from the same astronomical routine this platform's eclipse catalogue was built with. The time is UTC.
Ingress
Maṅgala enters Tulā
24 August 2027
24 August 2027 — first found in the new rāśi at 12:00 UTC on this day.
Not tested by the record
None of the seven tested conditions is keyed to this event on its own, so the record offers no count for it. It is listed because it is a fact of this month's sky, and no number is attached to it.
Classical basis. An ingress is the crossing of a sidereal (Lāhirī) rāśi boundary, sampled at 12:00 UTC each day. Only Maṅgala, Guru, Śani and Rāhu are shown; Budha and Śukra change sign every few weeks and no tested condition is keyed to their ingress.
