Singapore in August 2006: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Singapore in August 2006, 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 3
The solar year began on 14 April 2006, 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 3rd house, which keeps communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours 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.
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.
Moon in the 7th house brings shifting public mood and a focus on everyday needs to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Jupiter in the 7th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
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 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Pisces: the 7th house from the founding chart's rising sign (foreign relations, treaties and trading partners) and the 4th house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu 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.
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
