Singapore in 2022: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for Singapore through 2022, 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
- Mithuna (Gemini)
- Lord of the year chart
- Budh (Mercury) in house 11
The solar year began on 14 April 2022, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Singapore, Gemini was rising.
Mercury rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 11th house, which keeps lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Saturn in the 8th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to shared resources, taxes, insurance and sudden shifts in public finances.
Jupiter in the 10th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
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 Capricorn: the 5th house from the founding chart's rising sign (education, the young, the arts, entertainment and the share markets) and the 2nd house from its Moon.
Saturn here tends to ask for patience, restructuring and careful budgets in these matters.
On 29 April 2022 Saturn moves into 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.
On 13 April 2022 Jupiter moves into 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
Rahu 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.
Rahu here tends to stir new ideas and fresh ambitions, along with some uncertainty.
Ketu
Ketu 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.
Ketu here tends to bring a review of old ways and a quieter, inward turn.
