India in April 2049: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for India in April 2049, 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
- Mesha (Aries)
- Lord of the year chart
- Mangal (Mars) in house 2
The solar year began on 14 April 2049, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at New Delhi, Aries was rising.
Mars 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 1st house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Jupiter in the 3rd house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours.
Saturn in the 10th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
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 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.
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.
On 3 April 2049 Jupiter moves into 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
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.
Planets changing sign
- Mangal (Mars) enters Vrishabha (Taurus)
On 8 April 2049 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.
- Surya (Sun) enters Mesha (Aries)
On 14 April 2049 Sun moves into Aries, the 12th house of the founding chart (public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
