United Arab Emirates in August 2023: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United Arab Emirates in August 2023, 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
- Karka (Cancer)
- Lord of the year chart
- Chandra (Moon) in house 7
The solar year began on 14 April 2023, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Abu Dhabi, Cancer was rising.
Moon rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 7th house, which keeps foreign relations, treaties and trading partners in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Ketu in the 4th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
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 9th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield.
Mercury in the 10th house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
Rahu in the 10th house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
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 Simha (Leo)
On 17 August 2023 Sun moves into Leo, the 2nd house of the year chart (national wealth, reserves, food supply and the tone of public speech).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
- Mangal (Mars) enters Kanya (Virgo)
On 18 August 2023 Mars moves into Virgo, the 3rd house of the year chart (communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
