United Arab Emirates in 2028: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United Arab Emirates through 2028, 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.
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
- Tula (Libra)
- Lord of the year chart
- Shukra (Venus) in house 8
The solar year began on 13 April 2028, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at Abu Dhabi, Libra was rising.
Venus 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
Rahu in the 4th house brings new and unusual directions, with some confusion along the way to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
Mercury in the 7th house brings busy talks, paperwork and brisk trade to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Saturn in the 7th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to foreign relations, treaties and trading partners.
Ketu in the 10th house brings a quieter, inward turn and the letting go of old patterns to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
Jupiter in the 11th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes.
