Australia in August 2044: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia in August 2044, 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
- Meena (Pisces)
- Lord of the year chart
- Guru (Jupiter) in house 11
The solar year began on 14 April 2044, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Canberra, Pisces was rising.
Jupiter 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
Mercury in the 1st house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Saturn in the 9th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield.
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 Libra: the 7th house from the founding chart's rising sign (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners) and the 7th house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
On 30 August 2044 Saturn moves into 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.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Aquarius: the 11th house from the founding chart's rising sign (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes) and the 11th house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Leo: the 5th house from the founding chart's rising sign (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets) and the 5th house from its Moon.
Ketu here tends to bring a review of old ways and a quieter, inward turn.
Planets changing sign
- Mangal (Mars) enters Tula (Libra)
On 9 August 2044 Mars moves into Libra, the 7th house of the founding chart (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
- Surya (Sun) enters Simha (Leo)
On 17 August 2044 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.
Eclipses
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 23 August 2044 in Leo, the 5th house of the founding chart (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets).
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.
