Australia in 2028: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia through 2028, read the way mundane astrology reads a nation: from the chart cast when the Sun enters Mesha each year, from the country's founding chart and from the year's eclipses. 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
- Kumbha (Aquarius)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shani (Saturn) in house 3
The solar year began on 14 April 2028, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Canberra, Aquarius was rising.
Saturn 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
Venus in the 4th house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Jupiter in the 7th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
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.
