India in February 2002: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for India in February 2002, 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
- Dhanu (Sagittarius)
- Lord of the year chart
- Guru (Jupiter) in house 6
The solar year began on 13 April 2001, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at New Delhi, Sagittarius was rising.
Jupiter rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 6th house, which keeps the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
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.
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.
Ketu in the 1st house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Mercury in the 4th house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Venus in the 4th house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Saturn in the 6th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration.
Rahu in the 7th house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
