Australia in August 2031: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia in August 2031, 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
- Vrishchika (Scorpio)
- Lord of the year chart
- Mangal (Mars) in house 12
The solar year began on 14 April 2031, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Canberra, Scorpio was rising.
Mars rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 12th house, which keeps public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Rahu in the 1st house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Jupiter in the 2nd house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech.
Venus in the 7th house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Saturn in the 7th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Ketu in the 7th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
The founding chart
- Founded
- 1901-01-01

The founding chart of Australia, 1 January 1901, has Aries rising and the Moon in Aries.
Shani (Saturn)
Saturn is in Taurus: the 2nd house from the founding chart's rising sign (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech) and the 2nd 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 Libra: the 7th house from the founding chart's rising sign (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners) and the 7th house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu 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.
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.
