India in November 2012: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for India in November 2012, 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
- Tula (Libra)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shukra (Venus) in house 8
The solar year began on 13 April 2012, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at New Delhi, Libra was rising.
Venus 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.
Moon in the 4th house brings shifting public mood and a focus on everyday needs to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Sun in the 7th house brings attention from the authorities and a push for order to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Jupiter in the 7th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
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 Libra: the 6th house from the founding chart's rising sign (the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration) and the 4th house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter is in Taurus: the 1st house from the founding chart's rising sign (the country as a whole and the general mood of its people) and the 11th house from its Moon.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu 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.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Taurus: the 1st house from the founding chart's rising sign (the country as a whole and the general mood of its people) and the 11th house from its Moon.
Ketu here tends to bring a review of old ways and a quieter, inward turn.
None of the slow planets changes sign in this period, so the themes above hold steady.
Planets changing sign
- Mangal (Mars) enters Dhanu (Sagittarius)
On 9 November 2012 Mars moves into Sagittarius, the 8th house of the founding chart (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
- Surya (Sun) enters Vrishchika (Scorpio)
On 16 November 2012 Sun moves into Scorpio, the 7th house of the founding chart (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 14 November 2012 in Libra, the 6th house of the founding chart (the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration).
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.
