India in February 2015: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for India in February 2015, 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
- Vrishabha (Taurus)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shukra (Venus) in house 10
The solar year began on 14 April 2014, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at New Delhi, Taurus was rising.
Venus rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 10th house, which keeps governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world 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.
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.
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 Scorpio: the 7th house from the founding chart's rising sign (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners) and the 5th house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Virgo: the 5th house from the founding chart's rising sign (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets) and the 3rd house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Pisces: the 11th house from the founding chart's rising sign (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes) and the 9th 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 Meena (Pisces)
On 12 February 2015 Mars moves into Pisces, the 11th house of the founding chart (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
- Surya (Sun) enters Kumbha (Aquarius)
On 13 February 2015 Sun moves into Aquarius, the 10th house of the founding chart (governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
