Singapore in August 2002: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Singapore in August 2002, 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
- 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.
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 Gemini: the 10th house from the founding chart's rising sign (governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world) and the 7th house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Taurus: the 9th house from the founding chart's rising sign (higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield) and the 6th house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Scorpio: the 3rd house from the founding chart's rising sign (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours) and the 12th 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.
