Nepal in February 2008: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Nepal in February 2008, 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.
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
- Karka (Cancer)
- Lord of the year chart
- Chandra (Moon) in house 8
The solar year began on 14 April 2007, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Kathmandu, Cancer was rising.
Moon 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
Saturn in the 1st house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Jupiter in the 5th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets.
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
- Surya (Sun) enters Kumbha (Aquarius)
On 13 February 2008 Sun moves into Aquarius, the 8th house of the year chart (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 7 February 2008 in Capricorn, the 7th house of the year chart (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners).
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 21 February 2008 in Leo, the 2nd house of the year chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
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.
