Nepal in 2000: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Nepal through 2000, 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.
No founding chart is used for Nepal on this page, so it reads from the Mesha Sankranti chart cast for Kathmandu and from the eclipses.
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
- Kanya (Virgo)
- Lord of the year chart
- Budh (Mercury) in house 7
The solar year began on 13 April 2000, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Kathmandu, Virgo was rising.
Mercury rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 7th house, which keeps foreign relations, treaties and trading partners in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Venus in the 7th house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Jupiter in the 8th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances.
Saturn in the 8th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances.
The founding chart
No founding chart is read for this country: there is no agreed time for it, or it is older than the charts here can reach.
Planets changing sign
- Guru (Jupiter) enters Vrishabha (Taurus)
On 2 June 2000 Jupiter moves into Taurus, the 9th house of the year chart (higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield).
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
- Shani (Saturn) enters Vrishabha (Taurus)
On 7 June 2000 Saturn moves into Taurus, the 9th house of the year chart (higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield).

- Ketu enters Dhanu (Sagittarius)
On 30 July 2000 Ketu moves into Sagittarius, the 4th house of the year chart (land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home).
Ketu here tends to bring a review of old ways and a quieter, inward turn.
- Rahu enters Mithuna (Gemini)
On 30 July 2000 Rahu moves into Gemini, the 10th house of the year chart (governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world).
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
