Singapore in October 2004: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Singapore in October 2004, 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
- Tula (Libra)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shukra (Venus) in house 8
The solar year began on 13 April 2004, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Singapore, 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
Ketu in the 1st house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Moon in the 4th house brings shifting public mood and a focus on everyday needs 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.
Mercury in the 7th house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Rahu in the 7th house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Saturn in the 9th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield.
Jupiter in the 11th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes.
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 Cancer: the 11th house from the founding chart's rising sign (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes) and the 8th house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter is in Virgo: the 1st house from the founding chart's rising sign (the country as a whole and the general mood of its people) and the 10th house from its Moon.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu 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.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Libra: the 2nd house from the founding chart's rising sign (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech) and the 11th 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 Tula (Libra)
On 17 October 2004 Sun moves into Libra, the 2nd house of the founding chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 14 October 2004 in Virgo, the 1st house of the founding chart (the country as a whole and the general mood of its people).
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 28 October 2004 in Aries, the 8th house of the founding chart (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances).
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.
