Australia in August 2028: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia in August 2028, 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
- 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.
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 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.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter is in Virgo: the 6th house from the founding chart's rising sign (the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration) and the 6th house from its Moon.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu 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.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu 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.
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 Simha (Leo)
On 17 August 2028 Sun moves into Leo, the 5th house of the founding chart (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
- Mangal (Mars) enters Karka (Cancer)
On 27 August 2028 Mars moves into Cancer, the 4th house of the founding chart (land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
