United Arab Emirates in May 2004: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United Arab Emirates in May 2004, 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.
No founding chart is used for United Arab Emirates on this page, so it reads from the Mesha Sankranti chart cast for Abu Dhabi and from the eclipses.
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
- Kanya (Virgo)
- Lord of the year chart
- Budh (Mercury) in house 8
The solar year began on 13 April 2004, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Abu Dhabi, Virgo was rising.
Mercury 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 10th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays 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
No founding chart is read for this country: there is no agreed time for it, or it is older than the charts here can reach.
Planets changing sign
- Surya (Sun) enters Vrishabha (Taurus)
On 14 May 2004 Sun moves into Taurus, the 9th house of the year chart (higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
Eclipses
- Lunar eclipse
A lunar eclipse falls on 5 May 2004 in Libra, the 2nd house of the year 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.
