United Kingdom in August 2012: themes from the sky
These are broad themes for United Kingdom in August 2012, 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
- Simha (Leo)
- Lord of the year chart
- Surya (Sun) in house 9
The solar year began on 13 April 2012, when the Sun entered Mesha. In the chart cast for that moment at London, Leo was rising.
Sun rules the rising sign and so sets the tone of the year's chart. It stands in the 9th house, which keeps higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield in focus through the year.
Planets that stand out
Mars in the 1st house brings drive, quick decisions and some heat in debate to the country as a whole and the general mood of its people.
Saturn in the 3rd house brings slow, patient work, tighter budgets and some delays to communication, the media, transport links and dealings with neighbours.
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.
Jupiter in the 9th house brings growth, support and wider opportunity to higher learning, beliefs, long-distance travel and trade far afield.
Venus in the 10th house brings comfort, the arts and easier agreements to governance, institutions and the country's standing in the world.
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.
