Canada in 2004: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Canada through 2004, 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.
No founding chart is used for Canada on this page, so it reads from the Mesha Sankranti chart cast for Ottawa and from the eclipses.
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 1
The solar year began on 13 April 2004, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Ottawa, Taurus was rising.
Venus rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 1st house, which keeps the country as a whole and the general mood of its people in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Mars in the 1st house brings drive, quick decisions and some heat in debate to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
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 4th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
The founding chart
No founding chart is read for this country: there is no agreed time for it, or it is older than the charts here can reach.
Planets changing sign
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Kanya (Virgo)
On 27 August 2004 Jupiter moves into Virgo, the 5th house of the year chart (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets).
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
- Shani (Saturn) enters Karka (Cancer)
On 5 September 2004 Saturn moves into Cancer, the 3rd house of the year chart (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours).
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Eclipses
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 19 April 2004 in Aries, the 12th house of the year chart (public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight).
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 4 May 2004 in Libra, the 6th house of the year chart (the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration).
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 13 October 2004 in Virgo, the 5th house of the year chart (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets).
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 27 October 2004 in Aries, the 12th house of the year chart (public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight).
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.
