India in August 2055: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for India in August 2055, 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 14 April 2055, 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
Jupiter in the 3rd house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours.
Ketu in the 4th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
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.
Sun in the 7th house brings attention from the authorities and a push for order to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Mercury in the 7th house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Rahu in the 10th house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way 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 Pisces: the 11th house from the founding chart's rising sign (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes) and the 9th house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
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.
Rahu
Rahu 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.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu 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.
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 Kanya (Virgo)
On 14 August 2055 Mars moves into Virgo, the 5th house of the founding chart (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
- Surya (Sun) enters Simha (Leo)
On 17 August 2055 Sun moves into Leo, the 4th house of the founding chart (land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 7 August 2055 in Capricorn, the 9th house of the founding chart (higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield).
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.
