Australia in February 2007: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia in February 2007, 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
- Vrishabha (Taurus)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shukra (Venus) in house 10
The solar year began on 14 April 2006, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Canberra, Taurus was rising.
Venus rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 10th house, which keeps governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Saturn in the 3rd house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours.
Jupiter in the 6th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration.
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 Cancer: the 4th house from the founding chart's rising sign (land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home) and the 4th house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter is in Scorpio: the 8th house from the founding chart's rising sign (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances) and the 8th house from its Moon.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Aquarius: the 11th house from the founding chart's rising sign (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes) and the 11th house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Leo: the 5th house from the founding chart's rising sign (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets) and the 5th 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 Kumbha (Aquarius)
On 13 February 2007 Sun moves into Aquarius, the 11th house of the founding chart (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
- Mangal (Mars) enters Makara (Capricorn)
On 18 February 2007 Mars moves into Capricorn, the 10th house of the founding chart (governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
