Earthquake Omens is an omen reading — Shakuna Shastra, the classical art of reading the sign the world offers: the bird, the sound, the meeting on the way, at the moment it arrives.
The omen-books run alongside Jyotisha — the Shakuna and Nimitta literature taught that the world answers a question through signs. The direction the omen arrives from, its timing, and what the errand asks — all were weighed before the omen was read.
The traditional reader asked three questions: from which quarter did the sign come, for what errand was it asked, and is it auspicious in kind. The answer combined omen + direction + purpose — never the omen alone.
| 1 | Animal crossings | The cow, the cat, the snake, the deer, the jackal — what crosses your path and from which quarter. |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Sound omens | The sneeze behind you, the temple bell, the conch, the thunder — what the ear catches at the moment of the errand. |
| 3 | Meetings on the way | The full water-pot, the wedding party, the priest — or the empty vessel and the funeral — who or what you meet setting out. |
| 4 | Sky signs | The rainbow, the meteor, the lightning — the heaven's own signals. |
| 5 | House signs | The spider descending, the lizard's chirp, the pigeon entering — the signs within the walls. |
Describe the omen — the kind, the quarter it came from, the errand — and the module reads it the classical way: omen + direction + purpose, with the verdict and counsel.
The classical omen-book — reading the world's signs (animals, sounds, meetings, sky-signs) for what they say about the errand in hand.
Deeply — the same omen from a blessed quarter reads differently than from a southern one; the tradition always weighs direction with kind.
No — the tradition treats them as counsel, not command. An asking-care omen advises a pause, water, three breaths — not abandonment.
