Australia in 2042: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia through 2042, 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
- Kanya (Virgo)
- Lord of the year chart
- Budh (Mercury) in house 8
The solar year began on 14 April 2042, 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 8th house, which keeps shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Saturn in the 2nd house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech.
Jupiter in the 3rd house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours.
