Nepal in 2020: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Nepal through 2020, 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
- Tula (Libra)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shukra (Venus) in house 8
The solar year began on 13 April 2020, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Kathmandu, 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
Mars in the 4th house brings drive, quick decisions and some heat in debate to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Jupiter in the 4th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Saturn in the 4th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Sun in the 7th house brings attention from the authorities and a push for order to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
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.

Eclipses

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.
