Australia in May 2049: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia in May 2049, 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
- Mithuna (Gemini)
- Lord of the year chart
- Budh (Mercury) in house 11
The solar year began on 14 April 2049, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Canberra, Gemini was rising.
Mercury 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
Jupiter in the 1st house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Saturn in the 8th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances.
Sun in the 10th house brings attention from the authorities and a push for order 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 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.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu 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.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu 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.
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 Vrishabha (Taurus)
On 15 May 2049 Sun moves into Taurus, the 2nd house of the founding chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
- Mangal (Mars) enters Mithuna (Gemini)
On 23 May 2049 Mars moves into Gemini, the 3rd house of the founding chart (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
Eclipses
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 31 May 2049 in Taurus, the 2nd house of the founding chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
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.
