Australia in 2056: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Australia through 2056, 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
- Meena (Pisces)
- Lord of the year chart
- Guru (Jupiter) in house 11
The solar year began on 14 April 2056, 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
Sun in the 1st house brings attention from the authorities and a push for order to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Moon in the 1st house brings shifting public mood and a focus on everyday needs to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Venus in the 1st house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Saturn in the 1st house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.

Ketu
Ketu 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.

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.
