India in 2044: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for India through 2044, read the way mundane astrology reads a nation: from the chart cast when the Sun enters Mesha each year, from the country's founding chart and from the year's eclipses. 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 2
The solar year began on 14 April 2044, 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 2nd house, which keeps national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
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.
Saturn in the 12th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight.
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.
On 23 June 2044 Saturn moves into 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.
On 30 August 2044 Saturn moves into Scorpio: the 7th house from the founding chart's rising sign (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners) and the 5th house from its Moon.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
On 16 February 2044 Jupiter moves into Capricorn: the 9th house from the founding chart's rising sign (higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield) and the 7th house from its Moon.
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
