Singapore in August 2007: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Singapore in August 2007, 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 8
The solar year began on 14 April 2007, 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 8th house, which keeps shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Saturn in the 1st house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Jupiter in the 5th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets.
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 Leo: the 12th house from the founding chart's rising sign (public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight) and the 9th house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Aquarius: the 6th house from the founding chart's rising sign (the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration) and the 3rd house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu is in Leo: the 12th house from the founding chart's rising sign (public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight) and the 9th 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 Simha (Leo)
On 17 August 2007 Sun moves into Leo, the 12th house of the founding chart (public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 28 August 2007 in Aquarius, the 6th house of the founding chart (the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration).
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.
