Singapore in January 2010: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Singapore in January 2010, 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
- Makara (Capricorn)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shani (Saturn) in house 8
The solar year began on 14 April 2009, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Singapore, Capricorn was rising.
Saturn 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
Jupiter in the 1st house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Rahu in the 1st house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Mercury in the 4th house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Ketu in the 7th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns 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 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.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu is in Sagittarius: the 4th house from the founding chart's rising sign (land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home) and the 1st house from its Moon.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu 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.
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 Makara (Capricorn)
On 14 January 2010 Sun moves into Capricorn, the 5th house of the founding chart (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 1 January 2010 in Gemini, the 10th house of the founding chart (governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world).
- Solar eclipse
A solar eclipse falls on 15 January 2010 in Capricorn, the 5th house of the founding chart (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets).
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.
