Singapore in April 2013: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Singapore in April 2013, 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
- Kumbha (Aquarius)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shani (Saturn) in house 9
The solar year began on 14 April 2013, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Singapore, Aquarius was rising.
Saturn rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 9th house, which keeps higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
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.
Jupiter in the 4th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
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 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.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
Rahu
Rahu 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.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu 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.
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
- Mangal (Mars) enters Mesha (Aries)
On 12 April 2013 Mars moves into Aries, the 8th house of the founding chart (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
- Surya (Sun) enters Mesha (Aries)
On 14 April 2013 Sun moves into Aries, the 8th house of the founding chart (shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 26 April 2013 in Libra, the 2nd house of the founding chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
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.
