Canada in 2005: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Canada through 2005, 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
- Simha (Leo)
- Lord of the year chart
- Surya (Sun) in house 9
The solar year began on 13 April 2005, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Ottawa, Leo was rising.
Sun rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 9th house, which keeps higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Jupiter in the 2nd house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech.
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.
Saturn in the 11th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes.
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
- Shani (Saturn) enters Mithuna (Gemini)
On 13 January 2005 Saturn moves into Gemini, the 11th house of the year chart (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes).

- Ketu enters Kanya (Virgo)
On 24 March 2005 Ketu moves into Virgo, the 2nd house of the year chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
Ketu here tends to bring a review of old ways and a quieter, inward turn.
- Rahu enters Meena (Pisces)
On 24 March 2005 Rahu moves into Pisces, the 8th house of the year chart (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances).
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
- Shani (Saturn) enters Karka (Cancer)
On 25 May 2005 Saturn moves into Cancer, the 12th house of the year chart (public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight).
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.

Eclipses
- Solar eclipse

- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 3 October 2005 in Virgo, the 2nd house of the year chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 17 October 2005 in Aries, the 9th house of the year chart (higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield).
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.
