Australia in September 2001: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia in September 2001, read from the chart cast when the Sun entered Mesha, from the country's founding chart and from any eclipse in the month. They describe tendencies in public life, not fixed events.
Mundane readings here stay with themes and timing windows. They say nothing about any public figure and do not try to name particular events.
The year chart (Mesha Sankranti)
- Cast for
- Lagna
- Meena (Pisces)
- Lord of the year chart
- Guru (Jupiter) in house 3
The solar year began on 14 April 2001, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Canberra, Pisces was rising.
Jupiter rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 3rd house, which keeps communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Mercury in the 1st house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Venus in the 1st house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Saturn in the 3rd house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours.
Rahu in the 4th house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Moon in the 10th house brings shifting public mood and a focus on everyday needs to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
Mars in the 10th house brings drive, quick decisions and some heat in debate to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
Ketu in the 10th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
The founding chart
- Founded
- 1901-01-01
- Lagna
- Mesha (Aries)
- Moon sign
- Mesha (Aries)
The founding chart of Australia, 1 January 1901, has Aries rising and the Moon in Aries.
Shani (Saturn)
Saturn is in Taurus: the 2nd house from the founding chart's rising sign (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech) and the 2nd house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter is in Gemini: the 3rd house from the founding chart's rising sign (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours) and the 3rd house from its Moon.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Gemini: the 3rd house from the founding chart's rising sign (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours) and the 3rd house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Sagittarius: the 9th house from the founding chart's rising sign (higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield) and the 9th house from its Moon.
Ketu here tends to bring a review of old ways and a quieter, inward turn.
None of the slow planets changes sign in this period, so the themes above hold steady.
Planets changing sign
- Surya (Sun) enters Kanya (Virgo)
On 17 September 2001 Sun moves into Virgo, the 6th house of the founding chart (the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
No eclipses in this period.
No eclipse falls in this period.
