United Kingdom in August 2009: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United Kingdom in August 2009, 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 Kingdom on this page, so it reads from the Mesha Sankranti chart cast for London 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 6
The solar year began on 13 April 2009, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at London, Libra was rising.
Venus rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 6th house, which keeps the workforce, public services, public debt and day to day administration in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Jupiter in the 4th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to land, housing, farming, the season's weather and the mood at home.
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.
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.
Saturn in the 11th house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes.
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
- Mangal (Mars) enters Mithuna (Gemini)
On 16 August 2009 Mars moves into Gemini, the 9th house of the year chart (higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield).
Mars here tends to speed things up and raise the temperature of public debate.
- Surya (Sun) enters Simha (Leo)
On 16 August 2009 Sun moves into Leo, the 11th house of the year chart (lawmaking, alliances, gains and shared hopes).
The Sun's month puts the official side of these matters in the light.
