Australia in November 2022: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia in November 2022, 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
- Mithuna (Gemini)
- Lord of the year chart
- Budh (Mercury) in house 11
The solar year began on 14 April 2022, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Canberra, Gemini was rising.
Mercury rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 11th house, which keeps lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Saturn in the 8th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances.
Jupiter in the 10th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity 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 Capricorn: the 10th house from the founding chart's rising sign (governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world) and the 10th house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter is in Pisces: the 12th house from the founding chart's rising sign (public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight) and the 12th house from its Moon.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Aries: the 1st house from the founding chart's rising sign (the country as a whole and the general mood of its people) and the 1st house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Libra: the 7th house from the founding chart's rising sign (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners) and the 7th 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 Vrishabha (Taurus)
On 14 November 2022 Mars moves into Taurus, the 2nd house of the founding chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
- Surya (Sun) enters Vrishchika (Scorpio)
On 17 November 2022 Sun moves into Scorpio, the 8th house of the founding chart (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 8 November 2022 in Aries, the 1st house of the founding chart (the country as a whole and the general mood of its people).
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.
