Singapore in January 2000: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Singapore in January 2000, 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
- Karka (Cancer)
- Lord of the year chart
- Chandra (Moon) in house 9
The solar year began on 14 April 1999, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Singapore, Cancer was rising.
Moon rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 9th house, which keeps higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Rahu in the 1st house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
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.
Ketu in the 7th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Jupiter in the 9th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield.
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
- 1965-08-09
- Lagna
- Kanya (Virgo)
- Moon sign
- Dhanu (Sagittarius)
The founding chart of Singapore, 9 August 1965, has Virgo rising and the Moon in Sagittarius.
Shani (Saturn)
Saturn is in Aries: the 8th house from the founding chart's rising sign (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances) and the 5th house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter is in Aries: the 8th house from the founding chart's rising sign (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances) and the 5th house from its Moon.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Cancer: the 11th house from the founding chart's rising sign (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes) and the 8th house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Capricorn: the 5th house from the founding chart's rising sign (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets) and the 2nd 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
- Surya (Sun) enters Makara (Capricorn)
On 15 January 2000 Sun moves into Capricorn, the 5th house of the founding chart (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 21 January 2000 in Cancer, the 11th house of the founding chart (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes).
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.
