astrology is real.

Yesterday was the last day of agni nakshatram (or the time of the "fire star"). It's a 14 day period in May when the temperatures soar in Tamil Nadu. I've heard super hot May days explained as agni nakshatram but I didn't know until this year that it's calculated by astrologers according to the stars, moon phases, etc. And let me tell you folks, it's real. I didn't know you could predict the weather according to astrology, but now I'm a believer.

The past two weeks have been the hottest weeks I've experienced in my life. My house has turned into a concrete oven. Concrete really isn't the best material to be constructing your house with in this kind of climate, unless you want it to double as a kiln.

Yesterday the high was 106, on the last day of agni nakshatram. Today, I already notice that I don't feel like my body is going up in flames. This is because the high today is only going to be 102. Agni nakshatram is over! Astrology is real!

Say hello to Agni, god of fire. Looks like he is pretty capable of generating 106 degree temperatures to me.
