Australia in January 2046: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia in January 2046, 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
- Vrishabha (Taurus)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shukra (Venus) in house 12
The solar year began on 14 April 2045, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Canberra, Taurus was rising.
Venus 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
Ketu in the 4th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Saturn in the 7th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays 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.
Jupiter in the 10th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
Rahu in the 10th house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way 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 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.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu 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.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Cancer: the 4th house from the founding chart's rising sign (land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home) and the 4th 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 Makara (Capricorn)
On 14 January 2046 Sun moves into Capricorn, the 10th house of the founding chart (governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
- Mangal (Mars) enters Tula (Libra)
On 20 January 2046 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.
Eclipses
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 23 January 2046 in Cancer, the 4th house of the founding chart (land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home).
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.
