India in September 2019: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for India in September 2019, 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
- Simha (Leo)
- Lord of the year chart
- Surya (Sun) in house 8
The solar year began on 14 April 2019, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at New Delhi, Leo was rising.
Sun 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
Jupiter in the 5th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets.
Saturn in the 5th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets.
Venus in the 7th house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Mars in the 10th house brings drive, quick decisions and some heat in debate to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.

Rahu is in Gemini: the 2nd house from the founding chart's rising sign (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech) and the 12th house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Sagittarius: the 8th house from the founding chart's rising sign (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances) and the 6th house from its Moon.

None of the slow planets changes sign in this period, so the themes above hold steady.
