Singapore in 2015: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Singapore through 2015, read the way mundane astrology reads a nation: from the chart cast when the Sun enters Mesha each year, from the country's founding chart and from the year's eclipses. 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
- Simha (Leo)
- Lord of the year chart
- Surya (Sun) in house 9
The solar year began on 14 April 2015, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Singapore, Leo was rising.
Sun 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
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.
Venus in the 10th house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
Jupiter in the 12th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to public spending, foreign investment, ports and work done out of sight.
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 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.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
Guru (Jupiter)
Jupiter 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.
Jupiter here tends to support growth and sound planning in these matters.
On 14 July 2015 Jupiter moves into 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.
Rahu
Rahu 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.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu 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.
Ketu here tends to bring a review of old ways and a quieter, inward turn.
Planets changing sign
No sign changes in this period.

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.
