Australia in September 2007: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia in September 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
- Kanya (Virgo)
- Lord of the year chart
- Budh (Mercury) in house 7
The solar year began on 14 April 2007, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Canberra, Virgo was rising.
Mercury rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 7th house, which keeps foreign relations, treaties and trading partners in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Jupiter in the 3rd house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours.
Sun in the 7th house brings attention from the authorities and a push for order to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Saturn in the 11th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes.
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 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.
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
- Mangal (Mars) enters Mithuna (Gemini)
On 17 September 2007 Mars moves into Gemini, the 3rd house of the founding chart (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
- Surya (Sun) enters Kanya (Virgo)
On 17 September 2007 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
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 11 September 2007 in Leo, the 5th house of the founding chart (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets).
The weeks around an eclipse are read as a time to review and finish rather than to launch new public ventures in the matters it touches.
