Singapore in 2002: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Singapore through 2002, 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.
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
- Mesha (Aries)
- Lord of the year chart
- Mangal (Mars) in house 2
The solar year began on 14 April 2002, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Singapore, Aries was rising.
Mars rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 2nd house, which keeps national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Sun in the 1st house brings attention from the authorities and a push for order to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Moon in the 1st house brings shifting public mood and a focus on everyday needs to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Mercury in the 1st house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Venus in the 1st house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Saturn in the 2nd house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech.
Jupiter in the 3rd house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours.
