India in July 2007: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for India in July 2007, 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
- Karka (Cancer)
- Lord of the year chart
- Chandra (Moon) in house 8
The solar year began on 14 April 2007, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at New Delhi, Cancer was rising.
Moon rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 8th house, which keeps shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
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.
Jupiter in the 5th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets.
The founding chart
- Founded
- 1947-08-15
- Lagna
- Vrishabha (Taurus)
- Moon sign
- Karka (Cancer)
The founding chart of India, 15 August 1947, has Taurus rising and the Moon in Cancer.
Shani (Saturn)
Saturn is in Cancer: the 3rd house from the founding chart's rising sign (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours) and the 1st house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
On 16 July 2007 Saturn moves into Leo: the 4th house from the founding chart's rising sign (land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home) and the 2nd house from its Moon.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter is in Scorpio: the 7th house from the founding chart's rising sign (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners) and the 5th house from its Moon.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Aquarius: the 10th house from the founding chart's rising sign (governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world) 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 Leo: the 4th house from the founding chart's rising sign (land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home) and the 2nd house from its Moon.
Ketu here tends to bring a review of old ways and a quieter, inward turn.
Planets changing sign
- Surya (Sun) enters Karka (Cancer)
On 17 July 2007 Sun moves into Cancer, the 3rd house of the founding chart (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
- Mangal (Mars) enters Vrishabha (Taurus)
On 29 July 2007 Mars moves into Taurus, the 1st house of the founding chart (the country as a whole and the general mood of its people).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
